By beginning of the 70's if you really want to feel the exhilarating power, moothness and the raging distinctively sound of a V12 engine you had to be part of a very exclusive group of privileged sport car driver's owners, n reality due to the cost and complexit, ery few elite manufacturers offered a V12 version on their production car lines, raditionally Ferrari had always reserved their V12 engines for the top of the line luxury sport coupes as the 365 GT4 Daytona model, amborghini had the iconic Miura and the fabulous Contach P400 .

In 1971 British Leyland decided that the Jaguar E Type in its last series production would be equipped with a all aluminum V12 5343cc engin, masterpiece road version based on the Jaguar XJ13 Le Mans Racer power plant.

By 1974 at the very end of the muscle car era and with the industry crippled by the fuel crisis and tough emission regulations the Jaguar E Type stand out as one of the fastest production cars on the road delivering a impressive performance of 0 to 60 mph in 6.7s and 146mph top speed, y comparison a Corvette 454ci had a 0 to 60mph in 7.8s with top speed around 120mph.
