Should Jaguar Make This Awesome E-Type Speedster Eagle

Jaguar has been perceived as a style icon ever since its debut on the market. The cars look great and the idea of modifying them might seem like an act of horror.

Nevertheless, there is someone out there who managed to modify a Jaguar and make it even better than it was. This company is Vultur, from the south of England, and their Jaguar related project is called Eagle Speedster and is based on a genuine E-Type.

This concept was ordered by an American customer who had the money to invest in such an upgrade. The Eagle Speedster was completely dissembled and each component has been modified, restored, or even replaced.

The engine, for example, was improved with a fuel injection system, which increased its capacity to 4.7 liters, reaching the torque of 461 Nm. The five-phase gearbox has also been improved, along with Eagle engineering sport suspensions. These improvements helped the car reach 100 km/h in only 5 seconds, with a maximum speed of 160 mph.

The exterior hasn't been left alone, also.

The windshield's position has been slightly modified, along with the side windows. The original chassis has been replaced with an aluminum one, allowing the profile of the car to become lower and the seats to be installed at a lower level, respectively. The wheels are made from aluminum, while the brakes and the tires are provided by AP Racing.

Inside the car, the creators decided not to install too many hi-tech gadgets, which we highly appreciate. The modifications are very subtle and this way, Eagle managed to reach perfection.
