E Type Jaguar with 1JZ engine

in #car7 years ago

This car is a 480hp drift car made from an original Jaguar E Type. It was completely rebuilt after sitting in a barn rotting for many years.

The rear axle is a BMW E60 M5 and is 4.5” wider than the E type hence the wider hand built rear wheel arches.

The engine is a Toyota 1JZ running a GReddy T67 turbo connected to a TiAL 60mm wastegate. The car also uses a methanol single jet injection system.

It produces 480hp with plenty in hand if required. The lightweight car is well suited for showing off drifting with 417bhp per tonne.

Looking outstanding
Thank's for sharing

Wow! That's a beautiful car - it's nice to see cars like this rebuilt to their former glory ... and in some cases, surpassing it.

Looks like it was crossed with an A/C Cobra. Sweet.

Never seen a Jag running a crazy JDM engine like that, bet it can dance 💃
