Jaguar D-Type
Designed specifically to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the iconic D-Type was produced between 1954 and 1957. Sharing many mechanical components with the C-Type, it used a radically different structure and aerodynamic technologies, most notably the vertical fin behind the driver. Engine displacement began at 3.4 litres and was enlarged to 3.8 litres in 1957.
