Swedish designer Bo Zolland, a fan of the E-Type, decided to take a shot at what a modern day E-Type will look like. We can definitely see some influence of the C-X75 Concept in the lines he envisioned, but there is enough of the original left in for the diehard fans of the old Jag’.
This Swedish designer has recently opened his own design studio that specializes in hyper-realistic 3D renderings of projects of all kinds.
So what do we think of the concept? Well, the colors are spot-on, as is that rakish bonnet with air vents. We find it very interesting that the original oval ‘mouth’ that is 50 years old now looks good in combination with the more modern lines that remind us of a TVR.
“It is impossible to overstate the impact the E-Type had,” said Ian Callum, current Jaguar Design Director, describing the original model. “Here was a car that encapsulated the spirit of the revolutionary era it came to symbolize. We’re looking forward to celebrating achievement and looking forward with our all-new sports cars in Geneva.”
Back in March 1961, one of the most famous and desirable cars in automotive history came to the world at the Geneva Motor Show. The Jaguar E-Type was reportedly capable of achieving 150 mph (241 km/h), but it came with a price that was much smaller than rivals with similar performance. That’s why the car became an instant hit, and therefore managed to remain on sale for 14 years.
