The Jaguar C-type, D-type, and Lightweight E-type models built between 1951 and 1964 rank among the most thrilling sports racing cars ever made. With stunning designs, five Le Mans victories, and sensational performance, they became true icons of motorsport.

heir influence was profound - not only shaping the work of other manufacturers but also serving as test beds for innovations that revolutionized racing and later transformed road cars. Disc brakes, advanced aerodynamics, alloy wheels, bag fuel tanks, dry-sump engine lubrication, and two-seater monocoque construction all trace their origins to these legendary Jaguars.
