Jaguar E-type by Motikon – 1966

The first MOTIKON Jaguar E-type. Our own product. 

The E-type, First unveiled at the 1961 Geneva Salon swiftly made headlines thanks to its remarkable design. The E-Type was Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons’ magnum opus and cemented its place in the books of automotive history early on. Enzo Ferrari even called it the most beautiful car he had ever laid eyes on.

Not only did the E-Type establish itself as a piece of automotive art, but the engineering on offer – especially at the time – was remarkably advanced. The straight-six engine was a masterpiece, while the disc brakes ensured that the E-Type stopped as well as it went.
