Here we address the near mythical position and shape of that headlight. 
For example, the position of that head light, its height in the fender relative to the distance illuminated at speed, had been tested by Jaguar at LeMans since 1951. The 24 hours of LeMans had been established in 1923 to further the development of headlight performance.

So here we have the road going evolution of Malcolm Sayer’s D Type, which won LeMans in 1955, ‘56 and ‘57, applying this empirical data to a design that upon its debut in 1961 Enzo Ferrari referred to as ’The most beautiful car ever made.’
