E 1A is very light (less than 820kg) and uses an experimental "ultra-thin version" 2.4-liter inline six-cylinder XK engine. Jaguar provided media reporters with the opportunity to test drive the prototype, and the enthusiasm aroused by this design concept prompted Sir william lyons, the head of Jaguar, to decide to mass-produce.
Undoubtedly, when the E-type model appeared at the Geneva Motor Show of 196 1, it really caused a sensation in the automobile industry, and its influence even surpassed that of XK 120 13 three years ago. This classic design dwarfs other models, and even deeply touched Enzo Ferrari, a leading figure in the automobile industry, who even praised the E-type as "the most beautiful car ever". E-type presents irresistible elegant style, surging power and charming beauty, with a slender and elegant hood design. The more grounded chassis and oval front create a new era of automobile design style, and the curved tail design with simple lines and above the rear wheel inherits the classic temperament of D-type.
In a sense, E-type triggered a wave of social and technological changes in the 1960s. Jaguar from London, together with MINI, began to lead the beautiful car carnival of this era.
Considering the cost and production process, stamping steel replaces the all-aluminum body structure, and the E-shaped structure is designed around the D-shaped central single transverse structure and the front structure of the space frame. The front part of the car body is equipped with a 265 HP 3.8 liter XK inline six-cylinder engine, and the rear part adopts Jaguar's advanced independent suspension system. The top speed of the car can reach 224 km/h, and the top speed can reach 240 km/h after the original factory training.
E-type has a pure sports car pedigree, and its essence is not limited to showing graceful posture in front of people, but capturing people's hearts with its truly extraordinary performance. This inherent style also comes from Jaguar's rigorous engineering design tradition. In addition to testing the wind tunnel, Malcolm Sayer also uses the record table to calculate the shape of the panel, and uses a series of accurately placed coordinates to process the prototype steel plate to achieve accurate three-dimensional modeling. Automobile manufacturers are still using this design technology to generate the same surface coordinate network through computer aided design and module.
The initial version of the E-type model has excellent acceleration and precise control, and fully pays attention to the driver's feelings. The latest F-TYPE sports car completely inherits the pure bloodline of Jaguar sports car. Like E-type's high-performance predecessor E 1A, the new F-TYPE adopts riveted all-aluminum plate, which also comes from aerodynamic optimization. Similar to Type D, Type F originated from aviation.
Structural technology. As the latest sports car model of Jaguar, the F-TYPE is extraordinary, and the sports car bloodline comes down in one continuous line.
