Few brands evoke the same sense of style and innovation as Jaguar. From its roots in the 1960s with the groundbreaking E-Type—hailed by Enzo Ferrari as the most beautiful car in the world, to its ongoing evolution, Jaguar has always pushed the boundaries of automotive design. Now, as part of JLR’s ambitious rebranding, Jaguar is looking to the future with a bold new concept car that sets the tone for a fully electric lineup by 2026.
The E-type was the game changer when it debuted in 1961, it didn’t just turn heads, it redefined what a sports car could be. With its long bonnet, sleek curves, and powerful inline-six engine, the E-Type became a global icon almost overnight. It wasn’t just a car; it was a statement of beauty, performance, and British engineering at its best.
At RNG Classics, we honour that legacy with our very own 1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe, available for self-drive hire. It’s an opportunity to relive the golden age of motoring, feeling the thrill of a car that captures the soul of Jaguar’s heritage.
The XJ-S was the next chapter when the E-Type’s production ended in 1975, Jaguar didn’t just retire gracefully, they launched a luxury grand tourer that embodied the refinement and performance of the era. While the XJ-S didn’t have the same immediate impact as its predecessor, it built a loyal following thanks to its variations of engines from a 3.6 straight six and 3.8 to a bonkers powerful V12 engine, innovative design, and exceptional ride quality.
Our 1988 Jaguar XJ-S V12 Convertible, part of the RNG Classics fleet, is a celebration of this era of grand touring excellence. With its cream leather interior, smooth automatic gearbox, and powerful and bullet proof 3.6 straight 6 engine, it’s the perfect way to experience the elegance and performance Jaguar continued to offer.
Jaguar has a new viol for the future and is embarking on its most radical transformation yet. The recently unveiled concept car signals a bold departure, blending futuristic design with cutting-edge technology. This is Jaguar’s first major step toward becoming an all-electric luxury brand by 2026, and it’s clear they are aiming to lead, not follow.
The concept nods to Jaguar’s roots with sweeping lines reminiscent of the E-Type while embracing a minimalist, aerodynamic aesthetic that feels entirely new. Inside, sustainable materials and advanced tech hint at the brand’s commitment to luxury and innovation in equal measure.
Jaguar’s journey from the E-Type to the XJ-S and now to this all-electric future is a testament to its ability to evolve while staying true to its DNA. At RNG Classics we celebrate that heritage by offering you the chance to experience Jaguar’s most iconic moments. Whether it’s the timeless beauty of the E-Type or the luxurious power of the XJ-S, we connect you with the history that inspires Jaguar’s bold future.
