Jaguar E-Type - celebrating 50 years of a legend in a very special App
CAR Middle East magazine and Jaguar MENA bring you a unique supplement in the form of a digital App to be viewed on Apple devices.
- (1888PressRelease) June 14, 2011 - Faster and yet half the price of more exotic cars of the day, that's not the reason the Jaguar E-Type is as famous as it is. One of the best selling British two-door premium cars ever (70,000 sold during its lifespan), it redefined the concept of the British sports car; but that alone didn't make it an icon.
The E-Type in all its guises consistently features high up in any list compiling the 'world's most beautiful cars', and yet whilst it remains aesthetically compelling 50 years after its launch, the movie-star looks and thoroughbred breeding did not alone contribute to its enduring appeal.
Jaguar founder sir William Lyon once said that 'the car is the closest thing we will ever create to something that is alive,' and within that simple statement you will find the key to what makes the evergreen E-Type captivating both to aficionados and the casual bystander alike. It inspires, it delights, it oozes style and drips charisma, and it does all this without even trying.
The legend lives on and with this special supplement now available as a unique App for Apple devices from the App Store, we stand up and salute one of the true automotive greats.
