Jaguar E-type Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1968–1971) — Second Generation
The Second Generation Jaguar E-type arrived as a Cabrio or Coupe, still a long-hood sports car with rear-wheel drive. You pick open-air motoring or a closed roof, then match that body to the powertrain you prefer.
If you are choosing a Jaguar E-type engine, the 4.2 gasoline unit with rear-wheel drive is a useful starting point. The 4.2 MT Cabrio puts a manual transmission in your hands, while the 4.2 AT Coupe uses an automatic so the same drivetrain is easier in traffic.
