Description
Evolution E-types is dedicated to restoring the iconic Jaguar E-type to concours standards and beyond, for a truly unforgettable, innovative and modernised driving experience. The Evolution Low Drag is the ultimate incarnation of thirty years of Evolution?s expertise, innovation and design. The original concept, Chassis No. EC1001, was designed by Malcolm Sayer to be lighter and more aerodynamic than its contemporary racing rivals.
Finished in a bespoke hue of Candy Apple Red, this LHD 4. 2L Low Drag Speedster has been hand-crafted at Evolution?s headquarters in Darlington, England. The exterior is complemented with a cream leather interior, hand painted centre console and full stainless steel hardware throughout.
The Evolution powertrain requires in excess of 500 hours of labour via a specialist team of engine builder's at Evolution's headquarters. The original 4. 2L XK engine has undergone a comprehensive rebuild process and has been stroked to 4. 7L, ensuring that the free revving nature synonymous with the XK engine's character has been preserved and further enhanced. The Evolution 5-speed gearbox is specified to allow the driver to deploy modern performance with analogue engagement.
This Evolution Low Drag Speedster features a masterfully re-engineered front and rear suspension package with upgrades that transform the drivability, road handling, and comfort, whilst retaining the classic chassis elements. The Evolution Dual Servo Brake System, developed in collaboration with one of the world?s leading performance brake system manufacturers, compromises of 6 piston front and 4 piston rear billet aluminium callipers.
Retaining a high level of usability was a key aspect in the development of the Evolution E-type to ensure year-round usability. To further enhance driver comfort, this Evolution E-type is fitted with heated front & rear windscreens, heated headlight screens, central locking, electric windows, air conditioning and the Evolution Adjustable Power Steering (EAPS) system.
