Eagle adds Spyder GT to stable of special edition Jaguar E-Types

The Eagle Spyder GT is the latest addition to the world-renowned stable of special edition Jaguar E-Types, which comprises the Eagle E-Type, Eagle Speedster and the Eagle Low Drag GT. First announced during the 2016 London Classic Car Show to great acclaim, construction is now complete on the very first of these handcrafted lightweight roadsters.

More than 30 years of singular focus on the Jaguar E-Type comes into play with the fourth special edition E-Type in the series. With the poise and performance of the Low Drag GT and the exquisite styling of the Speedster, the Spyder GT's taller raked windscreen and folding roof offer the best of both worlds, whatever the weather.

The 4.7-litre XK engine offers 330bhp and an impressive 461Nm of torque, all in a car weighing just 1,029kg. It powers from 0-100km/h in under five seconds and pulls hard all the way to its top speed of over 274km/h. Extensive weight-saving measures include a bespoke aluminium monocoque, aluminium gearbox, aluminium engine block and magnesium components.
