Eagle, British sports car-maker that restores and modifies Jaguar E-Types, has launched its latest model called Spyder GT. The Spyder GT is based on the original Jaguar E-Type but with extreme modification as it comes with a folding roof-top and aluminium body panel.
The newest Spyder GT gets an aluminium monocoque, an aluminium gearbox and aluminium block engines. The model features a twin-cam 4.7-liter Jaguar XK inline-six producing 330 hp and 340 lb-ft of torque.
Eagle claimed that the newest Spyder GT gets a 0-60 mph time of less than five seconds and a top speed of at least 170 mph.

The aluminium body features 16 inch wheels with a weight of 2,269 pounds. Eagle’s new model is made out of lightweight aluminium in order to reduce its body weight. All the car parts that can be restored and reused are crafted out of aluminium.
In the UK, the Spyder GT is available at a price of £695,000.
