Yep, the E is a damn sexy street car, but the C, D, and SS are amazing cars.

D-type


XKSS

Quote:
The D-Type was the most scientifically engineered racing car of the '50s, a three-time Le Mans winner. In 1957, Jaguar put a windshield on it and created the street-legal XKSS (pictured, top left). It was a streamlined, 150-mph bullet, a WWII Spitfire fighter plane for your garage. Only sixteen were made. Actor Steve McQueen learned to race by driving his Von Dutch-pinstriped XKSS on Mulholland Drive, and that's about as cool as it gets.
