"Novo" Jaguar deve ser o carro (novo) mais caro

[Jag]

Pois é.

A Jaguar vai retomar a fabricação da série de 18 E-Type Lightweight prevista 50 anos atrás. Foram fabricados 12 dos 18 previstos, pelo que apesar de já terem passado cerca de 50 anos, foi decidido concluir a série.

O valor avançado é de £ 4 milhões por unidade, que tem em conta o elevadíssimo custo de produção e a ainda mais elevada procura.

Não deixa de ser uma notícia surpreendente ( e já agora espero que não vire moda).

Jaguar revela E-Type Lightweight para Pebble Beach| Autocar

Jaguar has unveiled the first of six reborn Lightweight E-types, which will go on sale for an estimated £1 million apiece following their debut at the Pebble Beach concours event in California this weekend.

The new examples complete the ‘Special GT E-type’ project that was started in 1963. Just 12 of the planned 18-car original run were built. The remaining six chassis numbers are set to appear on the newly created examples.

Designed for racing, the Lightweight E-types will be built to the exact specification of the original cars, allowing them to be used in historic racing events.
Power comes from an aluminium-block 3.8-litre straight six engine, which turns out 335bhp and 280lb ft of torque. It drives through a four-speed manual gearbox and is based on the engine that powered the D-type to Le Mans victory in 1957.

Crucial to the E-type’s design is its lightweight aluminium bodyshell, which saves 114kg over the standard E-type. Jaguar engineers have decided to eschew modern construction methods, as used on the aluminium-bodiedF-type and XJ, in favour of the original techniques.

Inner and outer surfaces of the car were digitally scanned, with most body panels then being reproduced at Jaguar’s Whitley engineering centre. With the bodywork complete, the cars will be mated to the engine’s subframe before being transferred to the company’s Browns Lane site to be completed.
The Lightweight E-type features twin-wishbone suspension at the front and an independent wide-based wishbone set-up at the rear, tuned to perform best under racing conditions. The E-type’s rack and pinion steering is fitted and the car sits on 15-inch wheels. An aluminium hard-top is also included.
Inside, aluminium bucket seats feature in a functional-looking cabin, which has a wood-trimmed steering wheel and push-button starter.

The project is being overseen by Jaguar Heritage, part of Jaguar Land Rover’s new Special Operations division. The first of the new Lightweight E-types, dubbed Car Zero, will be shown at Pebble Beach before six other examples are built.

Jaguar design boss Ian Callum said: “With the Lightweight E-type, our focus as a design team has been to ensure justice was done to the original work of Sir William Lyons and Malcolm Sayer.

“I believe the result is a new Lightweight E-type that is as stunning now as the originals would have been when they were new.”

[Zell]

E então? Só tenho pena de não conseguir comprar um!
Um carro clássico sem podres, sem borrachas ressequidas, sem vidros riscados, pinturas feias ou repinturas, reparações feitas sabe-se lá como... Novo é novo, maravilha! Eu percebo que fica a faltar algo, a história de vida mas...
Para fazer pequenas séries de carros só para dar uma volta de vez em quando, não acho nada mal.
