The Growler E 2011 is a reborn Jaguar E-Type



"Everyone doesn't like the direction taken lately by Jaguar design, initiated by the Jaguar XF and confirmed by the new XJ," said Vizualtech's Bo Zolland in an email this morning. "There are still many friends of the noble English brand who are nostalgic of the sensual shapes of the XK 120, Mark II, XJ6 and, last but not least, the fantastic Jaguar E-Type."


. . . I have mixed feelings on the front, but love the side and rear!!

yeah for one he's made something I actually kinda like. The rear is spot on but yeah the front doesn't seem to live up to the cool factor the rear set.

Wow what a stuning car.

I have to agree with both of you tho, there is something off with the front of the car. It looks a lot like something else I have seen before, I just can't place it, maybe an SLR.

He should have stuck with 2 headlights up front and gotten more inventive with the packaging, rather than just stretching and E-type front end over his car and then adding 2 more lights. But otherwise, HOT.

Don't care for the headlights. Other than that, very nice.
Alter the front and rear fascias, and it could also become a Datsun 240Z or Toyota 2000GT. Mess with it some more, and a Ferrari 250 GTO would result. Overall shape is beautiful.

Aside from it's short comings, this is just classy and I would be proud to drive a Jaaaaaaaaaaaag like this. It's about time cars got their sexy back.

Dayton could probably hook you up with wheels that are very close to those.
