Moment Motor Company Electrifies the Iconic 1966 Series I Jaguar E-Type

Moment Motor Company is proud to unveil its latest masterpiece: an electrified version of the legendary 1966 Series I Jaguar E-Type. Known for its breathtaking design and outstanding performance, the Series I E-Type has captivated car enthusiasts since its debut. Now, Moment Motor Company is bringing this classic British sports car into the modern era with cutting-edge EV technology, offering a blend of timeless style and eco-friendly driving.
 


Originally manufactured between 1961 - 1974, the Jaguar E-Type has earned its place as an automotive icon, celebrated for its beauty and performance. Moment Motor Company's electrified version retains the E-Type's classic design while integrating a powerful and reliable electric drivetrain. This transformation allows owners to enjoy the stunning looks of the Series I E-Type with the added benefits of EV power.

“Car collectors flock to the 60’s-era E-Type, but the hard truth is that while these vintage Jaguars offer legendary styling and impressive performance, their drivetrains require extensive work on a regular basis. For many enthusiasts, owning one means endless hours tuning carburetors, adjusting timing, and fixing leaks. That’s where Moment Motor Company comes in. We electrify popular vintage vehicles such as the E-Type and update them to be more powerful, reliable, and enjoyable to drive,” comments Moment Motor Company Founder Marc Davis.

The electrified 1966 Series I Jaguar E-Type from Moment Motor Company offers an exhilarating driving experience. With 375 lb-ft of instant torque, this EV-powered classic delivers thrilling performance both in city driving and on the open road. The electric powertrain provides a seamless and nearly maintenance-free driving experience, allowing owners to enjoy their vintage Jaguar with ease.

Moment Motor Company's engineering process starts with a full-scale analysis of the 1966 Jaguar Series I E-Type to determine how to ideally integrate the new EV powertrain and properly distribute the batteries on board. Implementing state-of-the-art CAD imaging to create 3D models of the vehicle allows the company to expertly install key powertrain components into the ideal locations. Prioritizing weight balance and handling allows Moment Motor Company clients to enjoy their new Series I E-Type in a completely new and exciting way. And for the purists, Moment makes sure to keep all engine and original transmission parts for clients. The company can coordinate having an electrified conversion swapped back to the car’s original form, but they are very confident you’ll never want to go back.

“It was a remarkable honor to work on a legendary sports car like this,” continues Davis. “A discouraging reality that Moment Motor Company too often finds working on many of these classic cars is that they are rarely driven. With the exception of special occasions, the time commitment is often too much for collectors. For many collectible automobiles that don’t share unique provenance or premier valuations, Moment Motor Company can deliver a very special vehicle that is every bit the head-turning curves and gleaming chrome they adore, but has a modern electric drivetrain that delivers a seamless reliable daily driving experience. The possibilities are endless.”

Moment Motor Company sets themselves apart by taking an engineering-focused approach to each vehicle focusing on drivability, reliability, and sustainability in mind. Capable of electrifying a client’s existing vehicle or building an entirely new custom from scratch, Moment Motor Company has gained global recognition for their incredible work.
