Eagle New Spyder GT
Famous E-Type builder Eagle
announced their third and last recreation model, the Spyder GT. The new Eagle
Spyder GT completes the trilogy of the bespoke Jaguar E-Type models the British
builder started with the Speedster.
The
Spyder GT offers a folding fabric roof in order to allow the owner to continue
driving his car whatever the weather. Eagle says that their new model combines
the “poise and performance of the Low Drag GT and the exquisite styling of the
Speedster”, offering the best of both worlds.
Eagle has been praised many
times by the press for their stunning recreations. The company has been
specializing in restoring back to perfection E-Types for the past three
decades, with the Speedster, Low Drag GT and Spyder GT to also include
aesthetic and performance gains.
All the bodywork is now made
out of aluminium for lightness while customers can opt for Eagle’s very vocal
straight-six 4.7-litre engine which makes 345 hp and 360 lb.-ft of torque. Each
car is completely tailored to the customer’s needs but that is expected from an
automobile that costs around £ 700k (US$ 1 million).
The first Eagle Spyder GT
will be delivered to its owner during this summer, with the company perhaps
building another five units in total, making this not only incredibly beautiful
but also rare as rubies.
