The E-type Coupé, which made its debut in 1961, had a huge influence on sports car design. The engine in the car's nose was based on the straight-six that won Le Mans five times in the C- and D-types. Although known to the world as the 'E-type', in North America it is often called the 'XK-E'. The beautiful body, which evolved from the D-Type sports racer, was designed by Malcom Sayer... Who is known as an early proponent of aerodynamic design for automobiles. The E-Type remained in production for 14 years, evolving to comply with later safety and emission laws. Still, it remained instantly recognisable to everyone. Although jaguar didn't have a factory race programme for the E-Type in motorsports... It did build a 'low-drag' coupé and 12 lightweight E-Types that raced on both sides of the Atlantic. Famous for its good looks, the Jaguar E-Type is also a seriously fast sportscar.
