“Grace, Space and Pace” – the brand values of British automaker Jaguar are meant to sum up a combination of elegance, comfort, and sporty handling in a single line. That last quality in particular really shows in the sports car featured in the LEGO Icons display set LEGO Jaguar Type-E Roadster (11381), arriving in August.
To be precise, the release date for the LEGO Jaguar Type-E Roadster (11381) is August 1, 2026. That’s when it will be available at an expected RRP of $139.99 / €139.99 at LEGO.com. Thanks to Polish online retailer mediaexpert, where the set has recently been listed and is available for pre-order, we can take a look at some of the official product images.
LEGO Jaguar E-Type (11381)
Following the LEGO 11376 Ford Model T, the LEGO Jaguar Type-E Roadster (11381) is the 27th vehicle in the LEGO Icons lineup, recreating an absolute Jaguar sports car classic out of 1,673 pieces.
Judging by the low-resolution images available so far, the dark green car model appears to be completely sticker-free. For example, a printed round tile is used for the brand logo on the front, and another tile features a printed license plate. The brand name on the trunk lid also seems to be handled with a print.
The model once again comes with a number of built-in functions. The opening doors, hood, and trunk add plenty of authentic details, and even the fabric-covered roof of the convertible can be retracted backward. According to the back of the box, the car model is 37 cm long (14.6 in) and 9 cm tall (3.5 in).

Comparison with the real thing
While the LEGO Jaguar Type-E Roadster (11381) definitely comes across as more angular, the essential features for that instant recognition are all there. The curved fenders and the signature wire wheels are very close to the original – even if they’re light gray instead of chrome.

A highlight here is likely the sports car’s retractable roof, and the headlights, which are done with transparent shields, give the model a more organic appearance too.
Comparison with another LEGO Icons sports car
The LEGO Jaguar Type-E Roadster (11381) isn’t the first iconic British sports car model to be honored in a LEGO set. Just back in July 2025, the LEGO Shelby Cobra 427 S/C (10357) went on sale at LEGO. Since both cars share certain similarities in terms of their heritage and design, we’d like to put them side by side here.
