The Jaguar E-Type Series III V.12, produced from 1971 to 1974, was the final iteration of the iconic British sports car. Distinguished by its larger, more powerful 5.3-liter V12 engine, the Series III aimed to keep the E-Type competitive in a rapidly evolving automotive landscape. The new engine, derived from the larger XJ saloon, delivered 271 hp, a significant leap over the previous 4.2-liter six-cylinder. This power increase was met with enhanced brakes, a revised suspension, and an optional limited-slip differential. The Series III also featured a more contemporary interior design, with a wood-rimmed steering wheel and a revised dashboard incorporating a full instrument panel. Despite its modernizations, the Series III retained the classic E-Type's timeless lines and captivating handling, offering a unique blend of classic elegance and modern performance. The Jaguar E-Type Series III V.12 was a testament to British engineering ingenuity and a fitting farewell to a legend. While some purists lamented the loss of the iconic six-cylinder engine, the V12 provided a refined and powerful driving experience with a distinctive roar. The Series III represented a compromise between classic appeal and modern requirements, offering a powerful and refined driving experience that still captured the spirit of its predecessors. However, the E-Type was facing increasing competition from the likes of Porsche and Ferrari, and the Series III failed to recapture the original's sales success. Nevertheless, the E-Type Series III remains a highly desirable and sought-after classic, embodying the spirit of the iconic Jaguar sports car in its final and most powerful form.
