Jaguar E-Type voted magazine’s best ever
Wednesday 2nd March 2011, 4:46PM GMT.
Autocar magazine today voted the iconic Jaguar E-type the best car it has ever road-tested.
The magazine tested the E-type in March 1961.
Now, 50 years on, the legendary vehicle received the Autocar accolade for “its beauty, power, driving pleasure and design”.
Second place in the best road test table was the McLaren F1. Third was the Mini, fourth the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and fifth the Volkswagen Golf GTi.
Autocar editor Chas Hallett said today: “No car in history except the Jaguar E-type has been so successful in putting together such an amazing package so totally convincingly.”
Jaguar’s design chief Ian Callum said: “The Jaguar E-type was a leader in design and handling in the 1960s and 1970s and this accolade from Autocar shows that it is a car that maintains a sense of magic.”
