H Eagle ανακοίνωσε ότι σκοπεύει να παρουσιαστεί την E-Type Lightweight Speedster στο Salon Prive στο Λονδίνο. Το αυτοκίνητο βασίζεται στην θρυλική Jaguar E-Type LS και φορά έναν 6-κύλινδρο 4.7-λίτρων κινητήρα απόδοσης 314 ίππων με 460 Nm ροπής. Συνδυάζεται με ένα 5-τάχυτο μηχανικό κιβώτιο και το βάρους 1008 κιλών αυτοκίνητο κάνει τα 0-60 mph (0-96 χλμ/ώρα) σε λιγότερο από 5 δευτερόλεπτα με την τελική του ταχύτητα να ξεπερνά τα 258 χλμ/ώρα.
Δεν σου φαίνεται τόσο εντυπωσιακό νομίζω αλλά η Eagle αναφέρει ότι το αυτοκίνητο έχει την ίδια αναλογία κιλών/ίππο με την τελευταία Porsche 911 Turbo. Το πόσο θα κοστίζει είναι κάτι που πρέπει να περιμένουμε έως τον Ιούνιο για να μάθουμε.

Jaguar E-Type Speedster
Eagle, makers of the exclusive Eagle E-Type, showcases the world’s most exclusive hand built car – the E-Type Speedster Lightweight – an authentic Jaguar E-Type from the 1960s reworked with more muscular styling, fresh classic detailing, and the performance of a contemporary supercar.
This outstanding car makes its public debut at 2011 Salon Privé, the luxury supercar and Concours d’Elegance, taking place at Syon House in west London on 22nd-24th June, 2011.
Henry Pearman, the founder of Eagle, says of the new Speedster Lightweight: “The elements in this remarkable alchemy are an original Jaguar E-Type, thirty years of dedicated experience, and the absolute cream of our widely acclaimed engineering developments and upgrades.”
Eagle has a global reputation as an E-Type specialist, and offers an unparalleled collection of magnificent E-Types for sale, ranging from the earliest original specification dealer launch examples through to fully developed cars.
Beneath the Speedster Lightweight’s jaw-droppingly beautiful body, every component has been thoughtfully and skilfully reworked, improved and often lightened resulting in a handmade automotive masterpiece with a weight of just 1000kg. The technical tour de force is the original Lightweight E-Type based aluminium 4.7 litre fuel injected engine and aluminium drive train. While retaining an external appearance identical to the original, they enable the car to offer a power- to- weight ratio matching that of the very latest Porsche 911 Turbo.
