Open the hood on his Jaguar E-Type Series 3 and you will not find a 5.3 L V12. ECD Automotive Design<\/a> installed a LS3 V8 and 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission. The modern V8 gifts the car with 450 hp (330 kW) and 440 lb-ft (596 Nm) of torque. The classic sports car also benefits from a performance suspension with adjustable shocks, six-piston front brakes, and four-piston rear brakes. The car rides on 16-inch wire wheels with Pirelli Cinturato CN12 tires. ECD Automotive Design overhauled the interior with Spinneybeck tan leather covering heated Series 3-style seats. Under the black leather wrapped dash are Moal Bomber gauges behind a factory 15-inch wood steering wheel. <\/p>\n
