RE: Meet the Lyonheart K, a 21st-century E-Type
Discussion
Totally bemusing. If you've got a rusty e type, an angle grinder and some filler I guess this could be considered a reasonable reworking of an old favourite (not one of mine though, as a kid I always thought the e looked obscene).
There are normally 10 or so XJ220's at the back of our factory. Now they are still one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. If the design studio that dreamt this up ever see a real one, they'll have a heart attack.
This looks like an e-type crossed with a latter-day Aston Martin, with finishing touches by Nissan. I think the design will date very quickly. Bet handles like a pig too.

Now that's what Jaguar should be building!!! Truly dream-car worthy. Price is a bit high, but then this is a bespoke car, and quite a bit more exclusive than an XK-RS.
I think this is the best "retro" car design since Ford's GT.
You're getting the XC-16 & XC-75 soon. There's no pleasing some people!!I think this is the best "retro" car design since Ford's GT.

As far as the second comment, I'm very pleased with the current Jag line up. The XF and XJ are fantastic. To me, the current XK is a bit fussy, but I wouldn't turn one away. Sorry if it came off otherwise.

Looks lovely, except for the "Lyonheart' across the dash and, from what I can make out, the bottom of the rear hatch. That name does absolutely nothing for me!
I agree. I'm assuming it's an homage to Sir William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar.Remember seeing this on Top Gear. I think they got the Hint that 'Growler' may not be a very good name Looks stunning, but I prefer it with double headlamps, I think it looks much more classy. Interior looks nice except for the centre console, too shiny imo. Biggest problem is pricetag, too expensive, not that i'll be able to afford one anyway Engine sounds exciting, 550 bhp and 500lb ft torque
