After the Second World War, SS Cars Ltd became Jaguar.
\nThe Jaguar car company manufactured elegant and sinuous sports cars, influenced and improved by the expert Malcolm Sayer, one of the first to study aerodynamics in the car industry. His degree in engineering and his sack of experience \u2013 teacher at the University of Baghdad and, specifically, the acquisition of notions acquired at the Bristol Aeroplane Company \u2013 made him focus on aerodynamic efficiency. He described himself as an aerodynamicist rather than a stylist.<\/p>\n
His unique method combined logarithms and complex mathematical formulae to plot the precise intricacies of 3D shape and volume to develop the optimum aerodynamic curve. Sayer then designed the revolutionary D-Type Jaguar which was one of the most successful racing cars of all time \u2013 winning Le Mans in 1955, 1956 and 1957.
\nThe Jaguar E-Type became an icon, and in the words of the New York Museum of Modern Art, where an E-type is on permanent display: \u201cSayer uniquely blended science and art to produce timeless shapes of exceptional and enduring beauty. He brought science to the art of car design; and scientifically produced works of art.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
