Official Technical Drawing - Jaguar - D-Type del 1955

Description of the work
The image presents itself as a historical archive document, a celebratory blueprint that portrays the legendary Jaguar D-Type of 1955. The background, which imitates a yellowed and worn parchment, immediately evokes the golden era of motor racing in the 1950s.

The key elements of the composition are:

Technical Perspectives: The car is illustrated through four orthogonal views (side, top, front, and rear), highlighting its revolutionary monocoque body and the distinctive rear fin designed for high-speed stability.

Racing Iconography: The blue livery is enriched by the race number 17 and the plate "AL 857 VZ", recalling the British marque’s Triumphs on the Le Mans circuit.

Detailed Technical Data: An analytical table at the base of the document lists the specifications of the XK Straight-6 engine with a displacement of 3442 cc, capable of delivering 250 HP and reaching a maximum speed of 279 km/h.
