Craft Blends Innovation | Unleashed by E-Type UK
When the Jaguar E-Type first broke cover in 1961, it redefined what a sports car could be. Sleek, fast, and attainable compared to its Italian rivals, it became an instant icon. Six decades on, the E-Type’s design remains timeless—but expectations of performance, comfort, and reliability have moved on. That’s where E-Type Unleashed steps in.
Rather than altering the E-Type’s DNA, Unleashed enhances it—respecting Malcolm Sayer’s masterpiece while reimagining it for a new era of classic motoring.
RESTOMOD vs. RESTORATION
While a traditional restoration aims to return a car to period-correct originality, a restomod (restoration + modification) embraces modern technology to improve drivability, safety, and refinement. E-Type UK's Unleashed doesn’t compromise heritage—it celebrates it. Each build begins with an original Jaguar E-Type V12, fully stripped and rebuilt with painstaking attention to detail. From there, the upgrades begin:
- Performance: A re-engineered V12 producing more power and smoother delivery.
- Transmission: A modern five-speed gearbox for effortless cruising.
- Brakes & Suspension: Contemporary systems designed for sharper handling and control.
- Interior Craftsmanship: Hand-trimmed cabins blending traditional leatherwork with subtle modern luxuries.
- Electrical & Cooling Systems: Upgraded to ensure reliability in all conditions.
The result is not a replacement for a classic E-Type, but a new chapter in its story—an E-Type built for today’s roads and tomorrow’s journeys.
BEYOND NOSTALGIA
Owning an E-Type Unleashed is about more than performance figures. It’s about emotion—the confidence of taking a classic icon across Europe without hesitation, the comfort of modern refinements, and the thrill of knowing you’re driving something unique. Each build is bespoke, tailored to its owner’s preferences. From paint finish to interior detailing, every Unleashed car tells a personal story while still bearing the unmistakable silhouette of the world’s most beautiful car.
In recent years, restomods have moved from niche projects to headline acts at the world’s most prestigious motoring events, from Pebble Beach to Goodwood. The E-Type Unleashed sits proudly within this movement—not as a radical departure, but as a respectful evolution. For enthusiasts who want the best of both worlds—classic design and modern usability—Unleashed proves that the Jaguar E-Type’s future is just as exciting as its past.
