You might know ECD Automotive Design for its restoration-modification projects involving Land Rovers, specifically classic Defenders. The American company has gained notoriety by offering an option to give these British off-roaders a heart transplant using Tesla powertrains, among others.
This time, ECD announces a new project that doesn’t involve Land Rovers but is still within the family). The Florida-based company has given us a preview of restored and modified Jaguar E-Type units. And just like the Defender, ECD also offers Tesla powertrain update for the E-Type, bringing modern technology into the classic, gorgeously designed coupe from the ’60s.
