The modern features include LED headlights, Bluetooth connectivity, and Bluetooth connectivity.

The Jaguar E-Type is a classic automotive styling icon, with its long nose and soft lines. Although the oldest examples date back as far as 1961, there is still plenty of room to improve with modern technology while keeping the classic look. E-Type UK’s Restomod uses its newly Unleashed model .
The Series 3 Jaguar E-Type, which dates back to 1971-74, is the starting point. The most significant change was the replacement of the original 5.3-liter V12 that produced 272 horsepower (203kilowatts) with a fuel-injected, 6.1-liter V12 that produces 400 hp (298kW). The exhaust is a 12-branch, ceramic coated stainless-steel. It is a 5-speed manual transmission with a lighter flywheel.

A high-flow aluminum radiator with oil cooler is used to cool the engine’s heat. ECU-controlled cooling fans keep the temperature at the right level.

The E-Type Unleashed is equipped with fully adjustable shocks and upgraded torsion bars. Each corner has four-piston brake discs with vented discs, and braided lines. The exterior has a few styling changes. A custom-made chrome front bumper is included along with LED headlights. The original design had longer louvers. A single-piece, handcrafted chrome rear bumper was also installed by the company.

The E-Type Unleashed features a cabin made of hand-stitched leather. Both seats can be heated. The dashboard fascia has a piano black finish and an aluminum center console. Modern features include LED lighting for gauges, Bluetooth connectivity and surround-sound stereo. However, the E-Type Unleashed will not be cheap. The company will charge PS325,000 (or $450,250 at current exchange rates) plus the cost of a donor vehicle. Each vehicle will need over 4,000 hours to be restored and updated. Only a convertible version will be offered at launch. However, other options will become available later.
