Jaguar Names Type 01 as First All‑Electric Ultra‑Luxury GT

The model marks Jaguar's reset toward pricier, low‑volume EVs for top‑tier buyers.

Overview

  • Jaguar, which on Monday announced the Type 01 name, confirmed the four‑door GT will be fully electric with no combustion or range‑extender option.
  • New photos from Monaco show a near‑production prototype with no rear window, flush door handles, 23‑inch wheels, and charging doors in both front fenders.
  • The company targets a tri‑motor all‑wheel setup, roughly 120 kWh of battery capacity, more than 1,000 PS and over 1,300 Nm of torque, plus range estimates of about 644 km (EPA) and up to 692 km (WLTP).
  • Jaguar plans a world premiere later in 2026 with first customer deliveries in the first half of 2027.
  • Pricing will sit well above €100,000 as Jaguar pivots to a new clientele and expects only a small share of past owners to return.
