      Technik: Neu für die konservative britische Autoindustrie war die hintere Trapezlenkerachse an einem eigenen Hilfsrahmen mit einem Längslenker und zwei Feder-Dämpfer-Einheiten, mit den Antriebswellen als oberen Querlenkern. Die Konstruktion erwies sich hinsichtlich des Fahrverhaltens, des Fahrkomforts und des Aussehens als gelungen und wurde bis 1996 verwendet. 1971 erhielt der E-Type einen neu entwickelten 5,3-Liter-(5343 cm³)-V12-Motor mit einer Leistung von 276 PS (203 kW) bei 5850/min und einem maximalen Drehmoment von 412 Nm bei 3600/min. Mit diesem V12-Motor, dessen Vorgänger bis ins Jahr 1935 zurückreichten, präsentierte Jaguar den ersten Großserienzwölfzylinder mit Leichtmetallblock und ebenen Heron-Zylinderköpfen mit Brennräumen im Kolbenboden. Die Brennräume wurden jedoch 1981, also nach Produktionsende des E-Type, entsprechend dem patentierten. Fireball-Wirbelkammer-Design des Schweizer Konstrukteurs und ex-Rennfahrers Michael May geändert, dem sogenannten May head, was den Verbrauch um ca. drei Liter/100 km senkte. Diese Version mit der Zusatzbezeichnung HE/High Efficiency wurde in die letzten 12-Zylinder-Limousinen und Coupés von Jaguar, XJ und XJ-S, und in den Daimler Double Six eingebaut. Die vorher wegen der amerikanischen Gesetzesanforderungen geringer gewordenen Fahrleistungen des E-Type wurden durch den V12-Motor wieder ausgeglichen, aber das Auto war insgesamt nicht mehr so aggressiv und agil wie zu Anfang – der Roadster hatte nun den langen Radstand des 2+2, das kurze Coupé war nicht mehr erhältlich. Vielen Liebhabern der Urversion galt das jetzige Modell als „zu weich“, und der vergitterte Kühlergrill nahm dem Wagen einiges von seiner ursprünglichen Aggressivität. Die Serie III hatte wegen der größeren Spurweite und der etwas breiteren Reifen verbreiterte Kotflügel, aber ansonsten den gleichen Aufbau. Die Scheibenbremsen waren nun vorne von innen belüftet. Am Markt hatte es der durstige E-Type V12 schwer, weil während seiner kurzen Ära die Ölkrise die Benzinpreise in die Höhe trieb.
