Oh man... I love it! LOVE it! And that dash is so perfect... a beautiful update of the original. Very nicely done.

Just two complaints. One, get rid of the silly scoop business on the sides and you'll clean up the design 100%.

And two... the price!

[Custom Hearse]

I agree 1000% Harry! This is probably the best "retro look" I have ever seen. I also agree the side scoops kinda throw it off as well. As for the price... I guess I'll be a dreamer...

I'm in love with the coupe...... That is one slinky-sleek sweetie.

Wow......

[TooOld]

That is gorgeous ! Best retro - design of any car yet !

The E - type has always been one of the only British cars I've ever liked . Now , I need to build a 1/25th scale version .

A slight rework of this 2011 Bo Zolland concept, I believe......

Stop it, your killing me! What a great redesign of a great design.

[cobraman]

It is beautiful. But those vents gotz to go !

[Harry P.]

If Jaguar offered that car right now at a realistic price, I'd go out tomorrow and buy one.

Too fussy for my tastes -- it looks like a Chrysler Crossfire put through a blender with an XKR. Personally, if I was in the market for a modern take on an E-type, I'd much prefer an Eagle Speedster... (which I would have in a heartbeat if I had the money)

bestest,

Why is this photo so distorted?

[Harry P.]

There! Fixed it.

I want one. Really, reeeeeeeally want one.

[Cato]

OK for this day and age retros but I'd prefer Heritage's restoration of a Series 1 original.

Stuck in the sixties...........

[Custom Hearse]

Thanks Harry!!! That looks a lot better!

[jeffs396]

Love it!

Looks like a good excuse to pick up the old inaccurate Monogram 1/24 XKE and start modifying to create one of these in scale

That coupe is absolutely beautiful! I wouldn't change a thing, I think the scoops add a modern flair to a classic design.

[Foxer]

You're right, Harry. It doesn't need that scoop .. take $10,000 off for that and maybe it's affordable!

[JM485]

That is a very nice design, they really captured to look perfectly. Everything flows well and has a great overall sleekness to it.

edit: never mind, i actually looked at the original postings link and see this is an aftermarket thing costing upwards of half million, so never mind...

i think this new e type is probably 80K or so, but thats a total SWAG.

Coupe $466,000, convertible $485,00.

Just a tiny bit over 80K.

i revised my post above after i actually read the original link. aftermarket trash is what i now think. expensive aftermarket trash.

I always thought the original XKE was ill-proportioned, with the hood/fenders too long, the rearend too stubby, and those pizza-thin (sorry, Harry, not Chicago style) tires and spoked wheels always looked so old fashioned. Maybe it'd look better if someone shortened it a foot?

I like thin crust, too!

To me, this updated version looks just right (except for the too-busy side scoops, which I would delete).

But the price is just outrageous.

I agree with Harry.

that is one saxy Jag!
