Growler E Concept: the birthday of a legend

I wonder what he would think Diabolik, one of the most famous owners of Jaguar and, seeing the Growler and Concept, coupe whose lines were inspired by those sporting the legendary '60s, designed by Bo Zolland and Robert Palm at the request of an anonymous collector. Exactly what happened with the new Lancia Stratos.

The coupe and then resumed the style of the Jaguar E, which this year is taking its first 50 years, and uses the mechanics of the XKR, allowing them to rely on a powerful 5-liter supercharged V8 to over 600 hp (90 more of 'original). The body is made of composite materials, while the chassis has a central part in carbon fiber, a solution that reduces the weight of 200 kg compared to the original, coming to 1,550 kg.

The acceleration is so very worthy of note: from 0 to 100 km / h in under 4 seconds, while top speed is unknown.
