How we verify Jaguar E-Type performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Jaguar E-Type trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Jaguar E-Type performance FAQs

6 questions
The quickest Jaguar E-Type on record is the 1967 Jaguar E-Type Hurst Performance/Pontiac Mk. II Coupe, which runs 0–60 mph in 5.8 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 14.60 seconds at 95.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Jaguar E-Type is the 1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 Series III Roadster, which takes 8.0 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 16.10 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 7 verified runs, a Jaguar E-Type reaches 60 mph in 7.14 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 15.53 seconds at roughly 91.3 mph.
We have verified test data for 5 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Jaguar E-Type can do, not a single marketing claim.
