Re-created classics
Although the project is still in the planning stages, Jaguar is already preparing a business case to build a limited batch of re-created classics like C- and D-types and perhaps even certain E-types. The cars, to be developed and built under the direction of the company's R performance division, combine vintage looks with modern drivetrain and chassis elements. Priced between 150,000 and 350,000 apiece (approximately $250,000 and $600,000), these copied classics would be reliable daily drivers dressed up like the original all-time greats. Although many carmakers have pondered such a scheme before, Jaguar is remarkably driven to pull it off. If the concept turns out to be financially viable, more affordable retro models like the Mark II or the XJ coupe might be added at a later stage. The first of the re-creation cars, the D-type, could appear as soon as 2012.
Pretty cool...
