Jaguar Names Type 01 Electric Flagship Ahead of Monaco Prototype Run

The four-door GT anchors a push to reposition Jaguar as an ultra-premium, electric-only brand.

Overview

  • Jaguar confirmed its next halo model as the Type 01 and said camouflaged cars will run in public around the Monaco Formula E weekend as an early preview.
  • The company says the name signals a reset, with the zero for zero tailpipe emissions and the one for the first model of its new era.
  • Jaguar describes the Type 01 as a dramatic four-door grand tourer that sets a new design direction and stakes out a higher luxury position.
  • Outlets report unconfirmed specs that include a tri-motor setup with more than 735 kW (over 1,000 hp), about 1,300 Nm of torque, and a battery near 120 kWh.
  • Prototype images point to a clean face without a traditional grille, slim lights, a long hood, and a tech-heavy cabin, building on the minimalist Type 00 concept.
