New Jaguar E-Type Restomod “Unleashed” With 400-HP 6.1-Liter V12

A British company by the name of E-Type UK has just unveiled a bold Jaguar E-Type Series restomod that features a V12 engine.

Launched under E-Type UK’s ‘Unleashed’ brand, the V12 of this E-Type is based on a 5.3-liter unit that has been rebored to 6.1-liters. It features unique fuel injection, a ceramic-coated sports exhaust, a five-speed manual transmission, and a lightened flywheel. It produces 400 hp and also has a high-flow radiator, oil cooler, and fans.

When you give a classic car a powerful new engine, you also need to ensure it brakes as well as it accelerates. As such, the Unleashed E-Type has four-piston brake calipers with braided lines. In addition, it features adjustable dampers, PU suspension bushings, and uprated anti-roll bars.

E-Type UK has also made a number of visual alterations to the iconic British car, including the fitment of new front and rear chrome bumpers and a distinctive front grille. However, the most obvious change is the fitment of modern LED headlights that have a dramatic impact on the overall look of the car.

Extensive work has also been done to the interior of the car. For example, it has been re-trimmed in brown leather across the seats, door panels, and center console. Meanwhile, the new dashboard is finished in luxurious black leather with yellow contrast stitching. Also found within are heated seats, LED lighting, push-button start, and an audio system with Bluetooth connectivity. Those that order an E-Type restomod from the company can spec out the interior however they like.

E-Type UK says each build takes 4,000 hours and with that in mind, each example costs £325,000 ($447,590), excluding the cost of a donor car.
