The Jaguar E-Type is one of the most gorgeous automobiles ever to grace the face of this planet. When the production version rolled out in 1961, Enzo Ferrari referred to it as "the most beautiful car ever made". It's a symbol of the glory days of British motoring, and every example deserves love, attention, and care. Unfortunately, not every example is treated in a proper manner. A recent 1968 XK-E was found stateside in Maryland, complete with neglect and abuse. That car was listed on eBay, where bidding ended at $15,100. That's for a truly trashed example, mind you. Now another E-Type has...

Classic 1963 Jaguar E-Type Driven In Jay Leno's Garage: VideoGearheads rarely agree on which car is the most beautiful ever designed, but a select few appear on more lists than most. The Lamborghini Miura, for instance. The '63 Corvette Stingray. The Ferrari 246 GT Dino. And the car you see here, a Series 1 Jaguar XKE, otherwise known as the E-Type. It's...

2014 Jaguar F-Type Differentials, Electronic Aids: 30 Days Of F-TypeWhile perhaps not as nimble or engaging as some lighter, less potent sports cars, the 2014 Jaguar F-Type makes fantastic use of its heady 340, 380, or 495 horsepower. How does it do it? Through smart differentials and electronic aids, mostly. Huge rear tires, especially on F-Type V8 S models, also...

2014 Jaguar F-Type Suspension: 30 Days Of F-TypeThere's a lot more to building a fast road car than just dropping a powerful engine in a relatively light body. In fact, there's some very complex math that goes into making a car handle well. The engineers of the 2014 F-Type have done their math well. Stable, predictable, and hugely fun to drive...

2014 Jaguar F-Type Chassis: 30 Days Of F-TypeThough you wouldn't know it to look at it, the last generation of the Jaguar XJ was largely made of aluminum and surprisingly light for its size and power. In fact, the XJ with a supercharged V-8 only weighed about 500 pounds more than the 2014 F-Type. In other words, Jaguar knows a thing or two...

Next-Gen Jaguar XJ To Feature Two Distinct Body Styles: ReportWhile the Jaguar XJ is one of the best looking offerings in its class, its avant-garde styling has come at a cost. The sloping roof may give the XJ a sleek look but it has come at the cost of space for rear-seat passengers. Jaguar remains divided on whether to stick with this dramatic look for the...

What defines a sports car? Is it an arbitrary set of numbers--weight limits, 0-60 mph times, lateral g forces? Or is it something more emotional, something that can't easily be quantified? I tend to think it's the latter, and the 2014 Jaguar F-Type presents a convincing case in support of that tendency. Running strictly by the numbers, the F-Type falls a lot closer to the Grand Tourer class than it does to any classical (or even fairly modern) definition of a "sports car." But behind the wheel, the F-Type's spirit, the feeling it evokes in the driver, rails against classification with two-ton...

Jaguar F-Type Deliveries Begin This Week--In The U.K.While we understand a carmaker offering a new product, especially one as anticipated as the F-Type, in their home market for a while before releasing it to the world, we wish that weren't the case with the F-Type. Americans won't get the new F-Type until next month, but lucky buyers in the U.K...
