While retro\u00a0British cars are notorious for leaky gas problems, Jaguar has put its best foot forward for the royal wedding. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle drove off with regal in the Jaguar E-Type Zero \u2014 a 1968 roadster retrofitted by the luxury manufacturer with an electric motor last year.<\/p>\n

The stylish silver-blue Jaguar E-Type Concept Zero, a modern take on the\u00a0classic 1968 convertible, is complete with a bespoke licence plate bearing the date of the wedding\u00a0\u2014 E190518.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

An\u00a0environmentally-friendly move, the original combustion engine on the 1.5 E-Type convertible\u00a0has been exchanged for something a 200kW electric drivetrain that boosts much better speed and barely a noise.\u00a0With a 0-60 mph rating of 5.5 seconds, this Jaguar\u00a0Concept Zero outperforms its predecessors. Though these numbers barely matter for the graceful drive at the royal wedding.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cConcept Zero combines the renowned E-type dynamic experience with enhanced performance through electrification,\u201d said Tim Hannig, Director of Jaguar Land Rover Classic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The modifications were made at a the Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works facility in Warwickshire, England, specially\u00a0dedicated to modification\u00a0projects. Vintage models from both brands receive \u201coutstanding Reborn restorations,\u201d at the location, including exclusive productions of the E-Type.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the royal\u00a0car was a left-hand drive model, a feature which some attributed to\u00a0Markle\u2019s American heritage. After\u00a0more than half a century of\u00a0its release, the revival of this classic model is indeed an apt choice for the grand royal wedding.<\/p>\n

\n

The royal couple graced down the roads in the coupe after the lunch reception, ceded by Enzo Ferrari as\u00a0\u201cthe most beautiful car ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With the current zero emission status, Jaguar is looking\u00a0to\u00a0spread\u00a0this love to more of its classic models beyond the\u00a0Jaguar E-Type Zero for the royal wedding.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIn an increasingly environment-conscious age, we aim to make sure our classic vehicles have the future they deserve,\u201d Jaguar said in a release. \u201cWe\u2019re doing that by developing electric powertrain conversions that preserve the looks, handling and performance characteristics of the original vehicles \u2014 yet deliver zero emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tim Hanning, director of the classic works facility, calls it \u201cfuture-proofing\u201d classic car ownership. To assuage the purists,\u00a0Jaguar has added that these modifications are \u201ccompletely reversible\u201d, and can be\u00a0applied to any XK engine powered classic Jaguar built between 1948 and 1992.<\/p>\n
