British classic sports car restorer E-Type UK has introduced the Unleashed sub-brand, which is dedicated to reimagining the iconic Jaguar E-Type with modern amenities. Their first project is a Jaguar E-Type Series 3, with tweaked looks, several modern features inside, and a tuned V12 engine under that long and beautiful hood.
In the power department, all cylinders of the V12 engine have been re-bored, increasing the capacity from 5.3 to 6.1 liters. There is a new high-flow aluminum radiator on deck, and an oil cooler coupled with cooling fans controlled by the ECU.
The result is a far more reliable engine that kicks out 400 HP, directing the thrust to the rear wheels via a new five-speed gearbox. The stainless steel sports exhaust system contributes to the improved performance of the lump, while remaining subtle enough to ensure a comfortable cruise.
Stopping power is provided by the four-piston calipers, vented discs, and braided brake lines, Moreover, this E-Type restomod is equipped with fully adjustable shock absorbers.
Visually, E-Type UK has created custom designed grille and badge up front for this E-Type that has chrome bumpers at both ends, and bigger 16-inch alloy wheels, with the famous wire pattern, to house the uprated brakes. Extended louvers improve the engine cooling, and the LED headlights provide better illumination at night.
The attention to detail is further visible inside, where the company has given it hand-stitched, fine leather upholstery, exclusive seats with heating function, piano black and aluminum accents, and LED backlit gauges.
Things such as electric windows, remote central locking, Bluetooth connectivity, surround sound audio system, air conditioning, heated windscreen, and push-start button will make driving more pleasant.
Pricing for such a conversion, excluding the cost of the donor car, starts at £325,000 (~$450,000) in the UK. The whole work takes around 4,000 hours to complete.
