JAGUAR ICONIC C-TYPE MODEL...161 Per Km speed
Jaguar has just announced a new continuation series for one of its legendary classic models, the C-Type. A race car originally built from 1951 to 1953, the C-Type joins the D-Type, Lightweight E-Type, and XKSS on Jaguar’s list of classic cars revived through the company’s Continuation project. Just like the cars before it, the C-Type Continuation will be built to original specs using data from the brand’s archive and by scanning on original model. Only eight will be built, adding to the 53 examples that Jaguar assembled in the 1950s The C-Type Continuation series will be based on the last development of the original car, which included the adoption of disc brakes. While these are common nowadays, they weren’t a thing back in the 1950s. The C-Type was the first race car to employ disc brakes thanks to a then-revolutionary system developed in cooperation with Dunlop. The first C-Type with disc brakes was introduced in 1952. All eight continuation cars will feature specifications of the works team model that won’t the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1953, including the 3.4-liter straight-six engine with triple Weber carburetors. The C-Type Continuation series will be built by accessing the company’s archives and by cross-referencing scan data taken from an original car. Jaguar will also use CAD technology to make the continuation cars as authentic as possible. Unlike previous continuation cars, the C-Type comes with an online configurator. The tool enables you to visualize the car in one of the 12 available colors, including the iconic British Racing Green, Pastel Green, Metallic Blue, and Bronze.
