Ah, the Jaguar E-Type. Arguably one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Enzo Ferrari himself called it the most beautiful car in the world. And now, Shmee is here at ECD Auto Design in Florida to build his dream E-Type. This is the place where dreams become reality, where customization knows no bounds.
ECD Auto Design is known for their incredible work on Defenders and Range Rovers, but now they've added the E-Type to their lineup. And let me tell you, these cars are a sight to behold. Shmee takes a look at some of the early 1970s Series 3 E-Types, and you won't believe it, but one of them is actually an electric car. That's right, an electric E-Type. But if that's not your cup of tea, they also offer the classic 6.2L V8 engine.
But it's not just about the engine. ECD Auto Design is all about customization. From convertibles to coupes, they can tailor the E-Type to your exact specifications. And the attention to detail is second to none. They even offer different seats, like the rare Recaro seats that Shmee gets to experience. And let's not forget about the interior modifications, like the custom console and the Bluetooth radio.
But it's not just about the looks. These cars are meant to be driven. And boy, do they deliver. Shmee gets behind the wheel of the V8-powered E-Type and is blown away by the performance. The Chevy LT1 engine churns out an impressive 450 horsepower, giving the E-Type the power it deserves. And if that's not enough, they also offer a supercharged version with a mind-boggling 650 horsepower.
But it's not just about the power. ECD Auto Design has also made sure that these cars are reliable and easy to drive. The electric E-Type comes with all the modern conveniences you would expect, like AC, power steering, and vacuum assist brakes. And the integration of the electric system is seamless, with a home screen control that allows you to monitor and adjust various settings.
Overall, ECD Auto Design has taken the iconic Jaguar E-Type and elevated it to new heights. With their attention to detail, customization options, and powerful engines, they have created a truly remarkable car. And Shmee is lucky enough to witness the entire process, from tear-down to assembly. It's a dream come true for any car enthusiast.
