A &#8220;2+2&#8221; four-seater version of the coup\u00e9, with a lengthened wheelbase, was released several years later.<\/p>\n<p>On its release Enzo Ferrari called it &#8220;The most beautiful car ever made&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Later model updates of the E-Type were officially designated &#8220;Series 2&#8221; and &#8220;Series 3&#8221;, and over time the earlier cars have come to be referred to as &#8220;Series 1&#8221; and &#8220;Series 1\u00bd&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Of the &#8220;Series 1&#8221; cars, Jaguar manufactured some limited-edition variants, inspired by motor racing :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The &#8220;&#8216;Lightweight&#8217; E-Type&#8221; which was apparently intended as a sort of follow-up to the D-Type. Jaguar planned to produce 18 units but ultimately only a dozen were reportedly built. Of those, two have been converted to Low-Drag form and two others are known to have been wrecked and deemed to be beyond repair, although one has now been rebuilt. These are exceedingly rare and sought after by collectors.<\/li>\n<li>The &#8220;Low Drag Coup\u00e9&#8221; was a one-off technical exercise which was ultimately sold to a Jaguar racing driver. It is presently believed to be part of the private collection of the current Viscount Cowdray.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The New York City Museum of Modern Art recognised the significance of the E-Type&#8217;s design in 1996 by adding a blue roadster to its permanent design collection, one of only six automobiles to receive the distinction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luc<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year: 2015 (June 5, 2015) 11&#8243; x 8.5&#8243; Media: Canon\u00ae Pro Platinum High Gloss Photo Paper Printers: Canon\u00ae PIXMA Color Art: Drawing Art: CorelDRAW X4, Corel Photo-Paint X4 Artist: Luc Paquin Jaguar E-Type Overview The E-Type was initially designed and shown to the public as a rear-wheel drive grand tourer in two-seater coup\u00e9 form (FHC &#8230; <a title=\"Jaguar E-Type, June 5, 2015\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/?p=534\" aria-label=\"Read more about Jaguar E-Type, June 5, 2015\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-drawing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=534"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":537,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/534\/revisions\/537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lucpaquin.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
