The E-Type made its debut at the Geneva motor show of 1961 and was the fastest production car of its time - its 3.8-litre straight-six engine allowing a 0-60mph acceleration time of a whisker over seven seconds and a top speed of 150mph. It initially sported the same 3.8-litre version of the ubiquitous XK engine that powered the last of the XK150Ss; this was mated to a manual four-speed Moss box, with synchromesh on the top three gears. The suspension was independent all round and the newcomer featured power-assisted disc brakes - inboard at the rear.
