We're not talking just about the F-Type, known as the official E-Type successor, but about Lyonheart's latest K Coupe and Convertible models, that draw inspiration from the famous British car. It's not hard to see why the Lyonheart K is an E-Type tribute car. The classic sportscar is alive and kicking in that modern piece of machinery thanks to a whole bunch of design cues, such as the front oval grille, rear end shape and exhaust system or the stainless steel wire wheels.

It looks fabulous! And besides its classic heritage, the Lyonheart K is an all aluminum vehicle and comes packed with top notch technology and a 5.0-liter V8 good for 575 HP and 510 lb-ft (700 Nm). This means a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h) and a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) time of just 3.9 seconds).

As you might expect, the Lyonheart comes with a high price tag and in limited numbers. Only 250 units will be built, with pricing from €360,000 ($464,470) for the Coupe and €375,000 ($483,820) for the Roadster.
