Jaguar is turning the 'Type 01' into a production electric four-door GT, giving buyers a long-hood coupe look with real rear doors. It pairs that format with a tri-motor setup and 1,015 horsepower, so the car is built for drama as much as for distance.
A 118 kWh battery is said to deliver about 400 miles of range. An 850-volt electrical system should also help it charge quickly at a 350 kW DC fast charger, which is useful on longer trips.
Inside, Jaguar leans on a minimalist cabin with three screens, while the rear seat fits only two passengers and the trunk is small. The low driving position and 50/50 balance are meant to keep it feeling like a Jaguar from behind the wheel. Orders open in early 2027, deliveries begin in the second half of that year, and pricing starts at $130,500.
