British Jaguar’s Jaguar E-TYPE was launched in 1961 and established itself as a representative European sports car of the era. It has always been mentioned when talking about the most beautiful vehicle in history. The Jaguar E-TYPE is a near-perfect sports car that is flawless in everything from design to performance, and it is loved by many people even now that it has become a classic vehicle.
It has been more than 60 years since its launch, and it has become a car that is easier to see in museums than on the road, but the car was recently converted into an electric vehicle, attracting a lot of attention.
Who would think of tuning a classic vehicle into an electric one?

A 60-year-old Classic Car Equipped with a 300 Horsepower Electric Motor
Moment Motor Company, an American vehicle tuning company, transformed the Jaguar E-Type into an electric vehicle. They stated that tuning the existing model to an electric vehicle was necessary because internal combustion engine engines are cumbersome and difficult to repair, maintain, and ride.
For tuning work, they used CAD imaging and 3D modeling to analyze the installation of an electric powertrain. This allowed them to find the most efficient and perfect location for the motor: the existing transmission tunnel. The motor was created to produce 300 horsepower through a carbon fiber drive shaft.

Surprisingly, Long Driving Distance
The entire emotion disappeared
The battery capacity is 60 kWh, enabling a driving range of approximately 280 km ( 174 miles) on a single full charge. The 0-100 km/h ( 62 mph) time of the existing internal combustion engine model was measured to be less than 7 seconds, but it is noteworthy that the time was shortened to the mid-5 seconds by switching to an electric motor. However, the most disappointing thing is that the engine sound and vibration that can be felt from an internal combustion engine are lost due to the installation of an electric motor.
Unlike the complete powertrain change, there are almost no changes to the exterior or interior. However, it is said that a gauge has been added inside to check the vehicle’s condition, such as power consumption and charging status. Many people were shocked to see a classic car, one of the most important vehicles in automotive history, transformed into an electric vehicle with an electric motor.

Moment Motor Company is well-known in this field and has already attempted to electrify other classic vehicles and the Jaguar E-Type. However, the cost of electrifying a classic vehicle, which is already difficult to obtain, is beyond imagination.
