With a GM LT1 V8 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the E-Type restomod brings a new level of performance and handling to the classic E-Type silhouette, ensuring powerful acceleration and smooth transitions, officials note. The vehicle’s Fosseway braking system, complete with 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers on vented rotors, ensures improved stopping power, while the GAZ adjustable sport suspension and custom fast steering rack deliver a responsive drive.

“The Farmington Hills Commission” is finished in Narvik Black gloss, paired with chrome accents to enhance its classic aesthetic. Custom 16-inch wire wheels with Pirelli Cinturato performance tires and an OEM-style quad-pipe fantail exhaust complete the exterior look, while LED lighting and a custom headlight conversion kit offer modern functionality within the car’s vintage appeal. 

Inside, the E-Type restomod showcases ECD’s craftsmanship with luxurious touches at every turn. The OEM Series 3-style seats, wrapped in Amalfi Black leather with vertical stitching, deliver timeless style and comfort, and heated seating offers added luxury. The brushed aluminum finishes on the center dash and A/C panels complement the black leather accents, while the mahogany wood-rimmed MOMO Super Grand Prix steering wheel provides an elevated driving experience. 

Custom metal toggle switches and Speedhut gauges, featuring black faces with crisp white numbers, preserve the car’s charm while adding a refined touch. A classic-style Bluetooth-enabled radio with Pioneer speakers incorporates modern audio capabilities.
