# Electric Grand Tourer Coupes Jaguar Turns the Type 01 Into a 1,015 hp Tri-Motor Production GT By Adam Harrie | Written with AI assistance | Published 2026-10-06 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-grand-tourer-coupes References: [insideevs](https://insideevs.com/news/810839/jaguar-type-01-launch-ev)  Jaguar is turning the 'Type 01' into a production [electric four-door GT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-sportback-vehicles), giving buyers a long-hood coupe look with real rear doors. It pairs that format with a [tri-motor setup and 1,015 horsepower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-polestar-5), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eq-technology-suv), 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.
