Captures from the trailer.
The scenes feel CGI.

S2 2+2 in non-original colour. RHD so not made for US.

It thought these were US-specs headlights
E-Type rather than XK-E then

Not US lights - open lights first appeared on late S1 (mid-67) for everywhere, then for S2 (and later S3) were moved forward within the sockets gaining a thicker chrome band.

Cross-slat front grille indicates an E-Type Series 3 2+2 (1971-1974).

Lack of front fender side indicators = non-US spec.

Interesting note:
The rear badge shows “EV” instead of “V12”. (close-up as Joe first drives off)
Plus there are no visible exhaust components underneath the car. (close-ups as Nicky is being dragged alongside the Jaguar and when it crashes)
Perhaps this is a custom model with a converted powertrain, and the sound editors added exhaust notes post-production?

No - that one is an S1 non-2+2 FHC. There may be an element of CGI witchcraft for the film car, but as seen so far it's an S2 2+2.

Electrogenic do like to put "EV" badges on their conversions -- see this Citroen "DS EV":

Perhaps they have also converted a claret S2 E-Type.
