The Jaguar E-type revolutionized the sports car industry. It was the first time that a top performing car could be acquired for a reasonable amount of money. Just consider that between 1961 and 1975 it sold more than 70,000 units.
Design: The car originally featured only two seats, flat floors and external hood latches. It also included several innovations, including the placement of the lights and the style of the frontal opening.
Performance: The Series 1 came with two engines, one with 3.8 liters and one with 4.2 liters. The latter could accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in 7.1 seconds, and its top speed was 137 mph (215 km/h).
Chick Factor: Medium. A Jaguar is always a Jaguar, and even if not all ladies like classic cars, they sure should respect them at least.
