"They don't make them like they used to" - this might be a cliche, but, in the case of a machine like the Jaguar E-Type, it's pretty safe to use it. Sure, the Leaping Cap is on top of its styling game, integrating its classic design into its new vehicles, but there's only so much you can do without coming up with a fully retro toy. And this is exactly what brought us here, since we'll discuss a 1964 Jaguar E-Type that has been given the modern-day treatment.
Marouane, the digital artist behind the stunt (you might know him as The Sketch Monkey) has decided to modernize the Jag, which, as he jokingly admitted, was no easy feat.
After all, the E-Type is one of those vehicles that qualify as rolling pieces of art, with this being the topic of countless design books.
However, it's not like the pixel master hasn't pulled off similar stunts in the past, with this Lamborghini Countach being an example as good as any.
Now, if you happen to be in a rush, you should know the screenshots above have your covered. Nevertheless, the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, which takes one through the transformation of the Jaguar E-Type in Photoshop, is certainly worth the attention.
While we're talking about heroes of the past, let's take some time to remember that Jaguar (we're talking about a whole range of models like the D-Type, the E-Type and the XKSS), together with Aston Martin and Porsche have all come up with continuation series.
So, if you bank account allows it and you manage to get your name on the list (these are uber-limited machines), you can basically get behind the wheel of a time machine that has nothing to do with a DeLorean. Nevertheless, with these icons selling like hot cakes, you might have to deal with those who resell them in order to grab one.
