Jaguar E-type Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1961–1968) — First Generation
The first-generation Jaguar E-type is the long-hood sports car offered as a Cabrio and a Coupe. This generation is where the model built its reputation for looks and open-road pace.
You get a gasoline Jaguar E-type engine in 3.8 or 4.2 form among these examples. A 3.8 MT or 4.2 MT Cabrio lets you shift a manual transmission yourself; the 4.2 AT Coupe uses an automatic instead. Every selected powertrain uses a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain.
