Out now: motoring iPad App 60
In this FREE issue 60 of the motoring.com.au iPad App we bridge the gap between Jaguar's 50 year history of sports cars from E-Type to F-TYPEThe Jaguar E-Type is undoubtedly a motoring classic. So when Jaguar told us that it's new F-TYPE was the spiritual successor to this icon of the motoring world we just had to see if they were right.
A lot has changed in the fifty years since the E-Type was designed, but in stripping the car to its essence, it was evident that at the heart of its character beats a passion crying out to be reborn.
Sure it's big shoes to fill, and labelling a car as a 'successor' is asking for it to fail. But what impresses most is that Jaguar hasn't disappointed. We take both for a quick spin, plus there's fact, figure and some sensational photos of both these beasts in this edition of the motoring.com.au iPad App.

In a one on one interview we discover a side of Seb (as his friends call him) that you might not have been aware of.
Part artist, part engineer, Jonathan Ward’s business has more hardcore amusements than Disneyland – with the elegant brutality of a Quentin Tarantino dialogue. His workshop in the northern suburbs of LA is near enough to Hollywood to feel its influence and be visited by celebrity clients. Ward designs and builds unique vehicles, usually starting with a mid-1960s to mid-1970s FJ Series LandCruiser or Ford Bronco and then systematically transforms them.
There's a Tokyo motor show gallery, cool gadgets and reviews of cars that the motoring crew have been driving lately.
Starting with the Mercedes-Benz C 63 507 Edition, it's not quite up to the speed of the 'Black series' but it comes close. It's bright blood red so that must help in the fast department. Holden have just released a RS version of the popular Barina hatch, read whether its got game and a mid-life makeover for Australia’s top-selling large SUV brings a new look, more kit and higher prices to the Toyota Landcruiser Prado.
