The breathtaking Jaguar E-Type is widely considered one of the sexiest cars of all time. Long, low, and with stunning curves that accentuated its speedy silhouette, the E-Type also had a potent V12 under the hood in some iterations. Furthermore, we North Americans got the E-Type, albeit slightly renamed XK-E or XKE. That's what this 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe is: an example of a jaw-dropping sports car. Up for sale right now, this car may not have the iconic V12 under the hood, but it's still got the power to surprise.
Exterior and Interior
The E-Type looks amazing no matter what color it wears. That's why few will focus much on the reportedly original red paint worn by this 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe. Instead, they'll be blown away by its design, including its faired-in headlamps, front-hinged hood, and wire wheels. The designer of this beauty is Malcolm Sayer, and we feel it's worth giving the man his due credit. After all, the E-Type is considered by many a hard act to follow, and Jaguar only recently managed to come close with the aptly named F-Type. The cabin of this 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe is comfortably able to accommodate two adults on black leather seats, with a spacious luggage area directly beneath the rear glass hatch. Yes, it's a grand tourer in true European style. Highlights include a lovely set of analog dials, a three-spoke sporty steering wheel, three pedals, and a manual gearbox. You'll also find a radio in the center console, plus plenty of switches for lights, wipers, and heating. That's all. You won't find any digital distractions, as the pure act of driving this car is an all-enveloping one.
Engine
The powerplant that motivates this 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe is a still-impressive 4.2-liter in-line six-cylinder engine. The engine should make around 170 horsepower, and drives the rear wheels via a manual transmission. With communicative steering, powerful brakes, and excellent handling characteristics, this 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe is a treat to drive down your favorite road, as that soulful six sings its song.
