Lynx D-type and
XKSS
For sports and
racing car enthusiasts, there is nothing more evocative than the Jaguar D-type roaring to
victory at Le Mans. Today, the Lynx D-type offers discerning owners the unique opportunity
to experience a part of Jaguar's rich sporting pedigree.
Each Lynx D-type features enhanced Jaguar E-type mechanical components blended with a lightweight, yet tough all-aluminium monocoque structure resulting in an excellent power-to-weight ratio. The result is a driving experience without equal. Each car is hand-tailored to the owner's individual requirements. The styling options for example, encompass the long nose or short nose style, single or full width screen, with or without a tail fin.
Perhaps the ultimate expression of the D-type's on-road
abilities is the XKSS. This classic soft-top still retains the essence of the D-type
character but with enhanced touring capabilities. It offers complete protection from the
weather with its larger windscreen and hood, while the division between the seats is
omitted for more passenger space and comfort. The Lynx XKSS is available
in either left or right hand drive form.
D-type or XKSS, these exclusive Lynx models offer spectacular performance and looks with the opportunity to re-discover Jaguar's glorious past...today.
