Eagle Unveils Contemporary Masterpiece: The New Lightweight GTR, A Recreated Ode to Jaguar E-Type's History

Published: 02 May 2026
Eagle emerges from its artistry shadows, unveiling the new Lightweight GTR as a commendable reincarnation of the iconic Jaguar E-Type.

Reviving the classic allure of Jaguar E-Type, Eagle has emerged, once again, from its East Sussex workshop with a masterpiece - the new Lightweight GTR echoing an imposing racing lineage, comfortably licensed to take to public roads. The E-Type, in its time, stirred up a storm in the automobile industry, with its incredible beauty being appreciated by none other than Enzo Ferrari. Not just a pretty face, the E-Type also delivered an enviable performance on the racing tracks and was lauded for its practicality and affordability. Its striking aesthetics, unique construction, and performance-driven mechanics birthed a legacy that made it stand alongside icons like Ferrari 250 GT California Spider, Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, and Lamborghini Miura. Affectionately regarded as the ‘Singer of Jaguar Cars’, Eagle continues its tradition of delivering absolute artworks. Known for their exceedingly high standards, Eagle is behind many ‘zero miles’ fully-restored original E-Types and restomodded variants. The Lightweight GTR stands tribute to the formidable racing history of the E-Type that stole hearts from its public debut back in 1961. Its racing career began swiftly upon hitting the roads, and ultimately, Jaguar became a potent force on the race track, securing the 24 Hours of Le Mans several times. The Lightweight GTR is not just another artifact in Eagles’ collection; it’s more of a time machine, capable of teleporting its beholder back to the golden era of automobile elegance and grandeur. Each intricacy of this vehicle whispers tales of a commendable legacy that, thanks to Eagle, can now relive its glory in modern times.
