Does that make any sense? It doesn't to me. Why segregate the XKE from all of the rest? The bones of the XKE are derivatives of previous models. I think the basic motor was designed in 1936 or thereabouts.
If I'm not mistaken, the big achievements of the XKE were the independent rear suspension with inboard brakes and the monocoque body/cabin. It is all space frame from the cowl forward which seems like half the car.
