Modern interpretation of the E-Type.

[Payman]

Ditch the retarded oversized wheels, and we have a pretty sweet looking E-Type. That is one sexy ass. 

[Onslaught]

The rims do not work at all. And I don't like the headlamps for some reason. Other then that It's damn nice.

Why is it next to a Saab Viggen?

[Payman]

Yeah, I'd prefer single lamps, but it's still done pretty good. As for the Viggen, I dunno. Maybe the concept is Svedish?

[MX793]

Don't like the quad headlamps, but the rest looks great.

[SVT666]

Fuck me that's sexy as all hell.

[2o6]

I find it too literal and very cliche.

Want, other than the double headlamps.

It doesn't fit in with Jag's new design language, and it doesn't look as upscale as new Jags are.


It's literal.

It's a design exercise meant to interpret what a modern E-Type might look like. It's supposed to be literal... Einstein.

[Vinsanity]

I like it all, especially the 22" wire wheels

[thewizard16]

I like it a lot. I do agree with several of you that the headlights would look better as singles instead of doubles, and I'd want different wheels if I were a buyer, but those wire wheels don't look half bad on it.

[Tave]

I find it ... very cliche.

Because too many design houses do one-off E-Type interpretations?

No, because the lines look generic and overdone, and like any fanboi who wants to see a new E-type.


To me, it looks like a kit car. Like it's a C6 Vette underneath.

[The Pirate]

BEAUTIFUL!!!  Need to change my pants.

They have that laser eye surgery in your area? You should look into that. Oh wait...... You can't see

Yep. I think if the XK were a little more lithe, it would be an adequate modern interpretation. It's got a little too much chub to be a modern E-Type

The purpose of designing a modern take on the classic E-Type, is to make it look like an E-Type, but modernized (du-rr). Have you ever seen a picture of the original E-Type? It's an overdone car, and it's beautiful.

[Payman]

Yep. I think if the XK were a little more lithe, it would be an adequate modern interpretation. It's got a little too much chub to be a modern E-Type

But then it would be too literal and cliche.

[2o6]

They look like they just took the old one and removed all the class, dignity, and grace.


This looks generic and cliche, and far too literal. There is so much you can do with car design, and they just relegated themselves to a small little box.

The XK is where it's at.

Are you purposely being thick? Go back and read the posts.

[FoMoJo]

Not bad but the series 2 coupe was just so gorgeous that any modern interpretation would be bound to seem lacking.  I can't imagine why they put four headlights on it.

Modern interpretation doesn't mean the thing has to be so literal. There is so much to do with those shapes, with that form.....but he chose to just make an old one look new.

Cmon bro don't be an idiot. This thing is an E Type on 20" wire wheels. Not very imaginative or modern IMO, it's way uglier than the original and the XK. Something combining the profile of the E Type with the modern details of the XK would be much better.

Thank god someone else gets it.


I think the new Camaro is a good example of good retro. Glances to the past, but it's a whole new affair. It's also the reason why I hate the Challenger so much.

[hounddog]

I think we already did this car;

Yes, that is the point.

(Almost) Everyone in here is gushing over it. I don't think you're going to sway many opinions by calling it "ugly."

Completely different situations. This thing isn't intended for mass production d00d, it's a one-off.

[2o6]

It's not even a one off, just a 3D model by some fan boi.

Yes, that is the point.

And there is no imagination and not much creativity. It's too literal, and doesn't have much imagination aside from an ugly front fascia.
