• Jaguar Land Rover Classic electrifies the past with an inventive Jaguar E-type sports car featuring fully electric powertrain
• Acclaimed by Enzo Ferrari as “the most beautiful car in the world”, the Jaguar E-type now combines breathtaking beauty with zero emissions for the first time
• E-type Zero is based on 1968 Series 1.5 Jaguar E-type Roadster, and features a cutting-edge electric powertrain enabling 0-62mph in just 5.5 seconds
• Engineered by Jaguar Land Rover Classic at company’s new ‘Classic Works’ in Warwickshire, UK
• E-type Zero makes world debut during Jaguar Land Rover Tech Fest at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. The event begins with a media preview on 7 September and is open to public visitors from 8-10 September
• E-Type Zero will sit alongside the all-electric Jaguar I-PACE at Tech Fest, which goes on sale in 2018

Now if they can do this to some of the old defenders it will do a lot for JLR making very practical cars that people can drive every day without worry. You can do that with this E-Type but we all know that won't happen.

With its classic looks, you wouldn't even know the E-Type was an electric vehicle if it weren't for the telltale missing exhaust pipes. Also has a usable 170 miles of range per full charge, though I doubt many will see that number when the vehicle is just asking you to be heavy footed.

Unless you're next to it once moving because the fact you won't hear anything aside from an electric motor whine, is what will being the questioning process. These days people pick up on that stuff more than they have in the past. EV's are the new reality after all.
