Questions and Comments
Gibt es für das FZ ein Hardtop oder Faltdach?
Technik: Speziell für den Rennsport konstruierte Jaguar im Winter 1962/63 eine leichtere Version des E-Type, die die Bezeichnung Lightweight erhielt. Sie wich sowohl äußerlich als auch in der Technik erheblich von der Serienversion des E-Type ab. Anders als bei den Serienfahrzeugen war das Monocoque des Lightweight aus Aluminiumblechen gefertigt und Teile des Rahmens und der Aufhängung waren verstärkt. Der hintere Hilfsrahmen wurde im Hinblick auf eine bessere Verwindungssteifigkeit vom Jaguar Mark X übernommen, die vorderen Bremssättel kamen vom Jaguar Mark IX. Auch der Motor des Wagens wurde überarbeitet. Während der Motorblock des 3,8 Liter großen Sechszylindermotors der Serienversion aus Grauguss hergestellt war, bestand der Block bei den Lightweight-Modellen aus Aluminium. Der Zylinderkopf ging konzeptionell auf eine im Jaguar D-Type verwendete Konstruktion aus dem Jahr 1955 zurück; für den Lightweight war er aber im Bereich der Auslassventile überarbeitet worden. Die Verdichtung wurde auf 9,5 : 1 angehoben. Diese Modifikationen erhöhten die Motorleistung auf etwa 320 PS (235 kW). Auch die Karosserie des Lightweight bestand weitgehend aus Aluminium. Stilistisch entsprach sie annähernd der des E-Type Roadster und war mit einem knappen Hardtopdach ausgestattet. Der Lightweight wog leer 920 kg. Der Lindner-Lightweight erreichte 1964 eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 259 km/h. Auch hier gilt wieder die Devise: kickdown "RARES für BARES" LG Tom
