LEGO Icons 11381 Jaguar E-Type Celebrates a Motoring Legend
LEGO has officially unveiled LEGO Icons 11381 Jaguar E-Type, a stunning tribute to what many consider to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Featuring elegant curves, authentic details, and a highly detailed interior, the set captures the timeless design of the iconic British sports car in brick-built form. The model is scheduled to launch on 1 August 2026 and is already shaping up to be a must-have for both LEGO and automotive enthusiasts.
Originally introduced in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type stunned the automotive world with its combination of breathtaking styling, impressive performance, and relatively affordable price. The car was capable of speeds approaching 150 mph, making it one of the fastest production cars of its era. Its impact was so significant that legendary designer Enzo Ferrari reportedly described it as “the most beautiful car ever made.” The E-Type would go on to become a symbol of 1960s motoring and remains one of the most recognizable classic cars in history.
LEGO’s recreation pays homage to this automotive icon with carefully reproduced bodywork, a detailed cockpit, and authentic design touches that capture the spirit of the original vehicle. Whether displayed on a shelf, desk, or alongside other LEGO Icons vehicles, the model is sure to turn heads just like the real car did more than six decades ago.
For older fans, the Jaguar E-Type represents the golden age of British sports cars and a period when automotive design was as much art as engineering. For younger builders, it’s an opportunity to discover one of the most influential vehicles ever created. Sets like 11381 remind us that great design never goes out of style—and the Jaguar E-Type remains every bit as captivating today as it was in 1961.
