'The Low Drag': Rarest of all Jaguar E Types

Sdílet
Vložit
  • čas přidán 18. 02. 2018
  • Known the world over simply by its number plate, '49 FXN' is the most rare of all Jaguar E-Types. Out of the production run of 72,000 cars, just 12 were made by the factory as thoroughbred, lightweight racing cars. But of those 12, just 2 were enhanced further still, with low-drag aerodynamic bodywork and sophisticated engineering enhancement beneath it. Shot for Fiskens dealership of London, this is the story of plucky, British, fighting spirit and ingenious minds conspiring to take on the might of Ferrari , Shelby and Aston Martin at Le Mans.

    I am partial to GTO Ferrari's, because I am Italian yes. But the Shelby's and the Jaguar E types? Special in for different reasons. The E type is in a very British way just so refined, and as a gentleman's race car I have to agree with Enzo Ferrari. It is absolutely stunning to look at. Great video.

    After checking the pictures I realized I saw this exact car 49FXN at last year's Spa Six Hours. Just took a quick pic of it and went by thinking it was just some balls to the walls variant of the Lightweight E-Type... I didn't know it was that rare... I regret my decisions...

    But lets be honest here, running 3rd in class before the transmission went is not like it was running away with the race. Either the drivers sucked or the car was not as good in the corners since obviously it had the top speed.

      Let’s be honest here - you don’t know much about driving in the Le Mans 24-hour race.
      It is not a sprint, it is an endurance race.
      With a car charging ahead into the lead it is highly likely that even if it doesn’t crash first it is not going to last the full 24 hours.
      Back then mechanical failures on cars were very frequent indeed.
      The more professional race teams placed greater emphasis on staying in the race by nursing their cars and being consistent in their driving.
      To eventually come through as the winners.
