Default Interesting new E-Type from Jaguar

https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/7/16...-car-announced

Why can't they include recorded sounds from original... or better yet, driver-selectable soundtracks modeled after real versions...

Ha, just came here to post this story too. Awesome...
Jaguar reveals electric E-Type Zero - Business Insider
But I think ~this~ may be the most beautiful car.

But then again, I may be biased

Great lines, but that rear end on the coupe makes it look like it's designed to do wheelies.

Was watching some more E-Type Zero vids and came across this:
Eagle Speedster - absolutely gorgeous.

£500K in 2011.

Eagle Low Drag GT £840K in 2016.

I don't find it nearly as pretty as the vert.

Yes the Eagle is a pricey beast, at $500K too rich for my blood but the E-Type Zero, if they updated it a bit and it cost under $200K I'd be really, really, really tempted.

Because then it would be a BMW.

Electric I see....for those "stealthy missions" when your F-Type would be too intrusive

I have seen the future, and it is silent. I am sooo happy to have gotten the F-Type R, and all her rude noises. “Every new Jaguar Land Rover model line will be electrified from 2020, giving our customers even more choice,” said Ralf Speth, chief executive officer of Jaguar Land Rover. Moi: I choose the past!
