1961 Jaguar E-Type

A classic automobile with a 150 mph top speed and a 0–60 mph acceleration time of fewer than seven seconds. Remarkably, Jaguar was able to produce a car this fast in 1961. But if there’s anyone who knows speed, that’s Jaguar. The E-Type was produced for roughly 15 years, up until 1975, and was based on the Jaguar D-Type.

A three-time champion of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the D-Type was a hard car to follow. But the E-Type made for more than a decent successor. When it was first presented in 1961, Enzo Ferrari called it “the most beautiful car ever made.”
