Jaguar will build 25 reproductions of the D-type race car in Coventry, 62 years after the last example was built in 1956. The first ‘new’ Jaguar D-type assembled by Jaguar Classic, an engineering prototype, made its world debut at the 2018 Salon Retromobile show in Paris.<\/p>\n

Just 25 new examples of the D-type will be hand-built at Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works in Warwickshire. In 1955 Jaguar planned to build 100 D-type models. With only 75 completed, Jaguar Classic is now fulfilling the company\u2019s original ambition by creating 25 all-new, period-correct sports cars.<\/p>\n

The Jaguar D-type, which won the Le Mans 24 Hours race three times between 1955 and 1957, was powered by the six-cylinder XK engine. Every aspect of the D-type models built for clients from 2018 will be created to authentic, original specification.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jaguar D-type is one of the most iconic and beautiful competition cars of all time, with an outstanding record in the world\u2019s toughest motor races. And it\u2019s just as spectacular today,\u201d said Tim Hannig, Jaguar Land Rover Classic Director. \u201cThe opportunity to continue the D-type model\u2019s success story, by completing its planned production run in Coventry, is one of those once-in-a-lifetime projects that our world-class experts at Jaguar Land Rover Classic are proud to fulfil.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The D-type is the third continuation vehicle from Jaguar Classic, complementing the six missing Lightweight E-type<\/a> models completed in 2014-15 and nine XKSS models<\/a> built in 2017-18.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jaguar Classic experts’ research, with access to original Jaguar engineering drawings and records, ensures each new D-type will be built to the specifications laid down by competitions manager Lofty England and his engineers in the 1950s. D-type clients can choose either 1955-specification Shortnose or 1956-spec Longnose bodywork.<\/p>\n

The engineering prototype is the 1956 Longnose specification, identifiable by its extended hood, characteristic tail fin behind the driver\u2019s head, wide-angle cylinder head and quick-change brake calipers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kev Riches, Jaguar Classic Engineering Manager, said, \u201cRecreating the nine D-type-derived XKSS models was hugely satisfying, and an even bigger technical challenge than the six missing Lightweight E-type models, but lessons learned from the XKSS project have given us a head start on the final 25 D-type models. Each one will be absolutely correct, down to the very last detail, just as Jaguar\u2019s Competitions Department intended.\u201d<\/p>\n
