01

Artifact Overview

Great Britain's Jaguar turned heads in the 1960s with its E-Type sports car, sold as the XK-E in North America. Disc brakes, an independent front and rear suspension, and a racing-inspired monocoque body gave the car technical credentials to match its beautiful appearance. For 1966, a longer 2+2 coupe joined the convertible and coupe body styles already in Jaguar's lineup.
