The ultimate incarnation – the Evolution Low Drag E-type. The design inspiration behind the Evolution Low Drag was Chassis No. EC1001, the unique Low Drag Coupe produced by Jaguar and designed by Malcolm Sayer would be lighter and more aerodynamically efficient than its contemporary racing rivals. The name was derived from it’s bodywork being aerodynamically sculpted to reduce friction as it cut through the air, allowing for higher top speeds and greater acceleration hence the name – Low Drag.
Attention to detail is the benchmark of the Evolution E-Type Low Drag’s coach-built exterior, where all works are completed by hand in our state-of-the-art production facility. In total, an Evolution Low Drag commission requires over 8,000 hours of labour in order to produce a perfect example for each client. Once you have commissioned your vehicle, you will be safe in the knowledge that there will never be another like yours.
Unlike an Evolution E-Type Steel Body, which can be characterised as a restoration and upgrade of an original E-Type chassis, the Evolution E-Type Low Drag is a bespoke & coach-built masterpiece, with every stage of body forming completed by hand in our state-of-the-art production facility using aerospace-grade aluminium to reduce weight and increase tensile strength. Each panel is formed from aluminium, with every exterior panel being fabricated by hand using traditional English wheel techniques. In total, the body forming process alone for an Evolution E-Type Low Drag requires 1,500 hours of labour over a 3-month period.
The Jaguar Low Drag E-Type holds immense significance as an iconic and rare automotive masterpiece. Originally designed as a racing variant of the renowned Jaguar E-Type, the Low Drag model stands out for its sleek aerodynamic modifications, lightweight construction, and improved performance. Its elongated, streamlined body and reduced weight resulted in enhanced speed and agility, making it a fierce competitor on the racetrack during the 1960s. With only a handful of these exceptional vehicles ever produced, the Jaguar Low Drag E-Type represents the pinnacle of automotive engineering and craftsmanship, capturing the essence of British automotive excellence and leaving an indelible mark on the history of sports cars. Today, it stands as a symbol of automotive artistry and a coveted collector’s item for enthusiasts who appreciate its unique blend of beauty and performance.
