    Technik: 1971 erhielt der E-Type einen neu entwickelten 5,3-Liter-(5343 cm³)-V12-Motor mit einer Leistung von 276 PS (203 kW) bei 5850/min und einem maximalen Drehmoment von 412 Nm bei 3600/min. Mit diesem V12-Motor, dessen Vorgänger bis ins Jahr 1935 zurückreichten, präsentierte Jaguar den ersten Großserienzwölfzylinder mit Leichtmetallblock und ebenen Heron-Zylinderköpfen mit Brennräumen im Kolbenboden. Die Brennräume wurden jedoch 1981, also nach Produktionsende des E-Type, entsprechend dem patentierten Fireball-Wirbelkammer-Design des Schweizer Konstrukteurs und ex-Rennfahrers Michael May geändert, dem sogenannten May head, was den Verbrauch um ca. drei Liter/100 km senkte. Diese Version mit der Zusatzbezeichnung HE/High Efficiency wurde in die letzten 12-Zylinder-Limousinen und Coupés von Jaguar, XJ und XJ-S, und in den Daimler Double Six eingebaut. LG Tom
