Eagle Low Drag GT
Why a classic with all his burdens away, while the beautiful looks with modern technology can combine?

The Jaguar E-Type is one of the most beautiful cars in the world, found that even Enzo Ferrari. To drive in this classic something more accessible, there are replicas / homages, but the E-Type Speedster by Eagle was very special. Even Jeremy Clarkson felt a tingling sensation at the base of his male genitals in the ride of the reinvented sports car.

That was two years ago. Now comes Eagle with the dense variant, where coupéfanaten definitely damp between the legs. The Eagle Low Drag GT, as the car his full name is, combines the looks of the ’60s with modern technology and performance. Under the hood is a divine 4,7-litre six-in-line, entirely in aluminium, with 346 hp. That drags the 1.038 pounds, powered by an aluminum vijfbak, in five seconds to 100 km/h in the direction of a top of 270 km/h. Of course, it is also the sleek body of aluminium, just like the limited slip differential.

That brings us to the modern technologies, such as sequential fuel injection with individual gasklephuizen, electric power steering, thick AP Racing brakes, Ohlins dampers, and a custom Eagle Supersport suspension and very nice – a hidden navigation system. There is also a thought for more comfort thanks to air conditioning, extra insulation, more luggage space and a larger fuel tank.

At the moment there is still only one Eagle Low Drag GT, but for a small 8 tons and some patience (it takes 18 months for a copy to build), you have something wonderful on the driveway.
