Jaguar Confirms Type 00 Electric GT for Series Production With 1,000‑Plus PS and €150,000 Starting Price

The company has retooled Solihull for a low‑volume luxury reboot with first customer cars targeted for 2026–27.

Overview

  • Jaguar opened its Gaydon test program to media, reaffirmed series production, and said the four‑door GT will be built in Solihull after halting legacy output in 2025 to convert the plant.
  • Powertrain details include three motors (one front, two rear) with more than 1,000 PS, a battery around 120 kWh, WLTP range above roughly 700 km, and a top speed near 260 km/h, plus air suspension and rear‑wheel steering.
  • Executives say roughly 150 prototypes have been completed and the final exterior design is locked.
  • Pricing marks a move upmarket, with guidance of about €150,000 to start and a targeted UK average near £120,000.
  • Timing remains uncertain, with guidance pointing to sales from late 2026 and multiple reports indicating customer deliveries likely beginning in 2027.
