Posted by Hootan Mahallati | July 29, 2009 | In classic cars jaguar

It seems like rebuilding classic cars with modern engineering standards is all the rage these days. We loved this Germany-built AC Cobra, and now this: UK-based Jaguar specialists Eagle have rebuilt a 1966 Jaguar E-Type with an aluminum bodyshell and powered it with a Jaguar-based, 4.7L inline six. The beefy-looking Eagle E-Type sits lower than the original classic and features a chopped windscreen.

Performance? 175 mph top speed, 0-60 mph in under five seconds thanks to 300 hpm 340 lb-ft of torque a curb weight of just over a ton.
