The £695,000 Hand Crafted Eagle Spyder GT Is Officially Launched

The Spyder GT Is the latest addition to the world-renowned stable of ’Special Edition’ Jaguar E-Types that comprises the Eagle E-Type, Eagle Speedster and the Eagle Low Drag GT

With only a very few being built, the Spyder GT is one of the most exclusive hand built cars in the world and builds upon the groundbreaking Eagle Speedster adding a folding roof to offer the best of both worlds – whatever the weather.

The 4.7-litre XK engine offers 330bhp and an impressive 340 ft-lbs of torque, all in a car weighing just 1,029 kg. Extensive weight-saving measures include a bespoke aluminium monocoque, aluminium gearbox, aluminium engine block and magnesium components.

With the poise and performance of the Low Drag GT and the exquisite styling of the Speedster, the Spyder GT’s taller raked windscreen and folding roof offer the best of both worlds – whatever the weather.

Completely bespoke with extensive customer options, the few produced will be the most exclusive hand built cars in the world.

As with all Eagle Special Editions, the Spyder GT begins life as an original E-Type ready to be restored. The aluminium monocoque features deeper sills, a lower floor pan and wider wheel arches featuring custom 16” wheels and tyres. The bespoke, handcrafted interior features sumptuous leather and a gorgeous sweeping centre console – very much part of the Eagle Special Edition design DNA – complete with hidden handbrake lever. The attention to detail and level of finish throughout is truly exquisite.

The engineering perfectly blends original and new technology and the Eagle Spyder GT offers blistering performance. With 330bhp and 340 ft-lbs of torque, it powers from 0 to 60 mph in under 5 seconds and pulls hard all the way to its top speed of over 170mph.
