The Jaguar Type 01 is a revolutionary, all-electric four-door grand tourer that marks the complete rebirth of the British luxury brand. As Jaguar’s most powerful road car ever built, it combines radical, avant-garde styling with a custom electric architecture engineered for high performance.
The long-awaited Jaguar Type 01 has officially made its world debut at an event in New York City, marking a radical, ultra-luxury reboot for the legendary British automaker. Representing a massive £15 billion gamble by parent company JLR, the Type 01 is an imposing, all-electric four-door “Grand Tourer” that serves as the flagship for Jaguar’s new era. [1, 2, 3]
The production model transitions the brand heavily upscale, targeting a price tag around £120,000 / $130,000 and aiming to sit in a niche above BMW but just below Bentley. [1, 2]
⚡ Performance & Battery Specifications
The Type 01 is the most powerful and aerodynamic road car Jaguar has ever produced: [1, 2]
- Powertrain: A three-motor setup (one front, two rear) delivering a massive 1,015 horsepower and 1,007 lb-ft of torque.
- Acceleration: Rocket-like acceleration hitting 0–60 mph in 3.1 seconds (0–62 mph in 3.2 seconds).
- Battery Capacity: Features a heavy-duty 118-kWh battery pack.
- Range: An estimated total range of 400 miles, which translates to roughly 320 miles of sustained 75-mph highway cruising.
- Charging: Built on an 850-volt platform called the Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA). It supports 350-kW DC fast charging, shooting from 10% to 80% in about 22 minutes (or adding 200 miles in 13 minutes). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
📐 Design & Proportions
The vehicle has a highly polarizing aesthetic that intentionally prioritizes jaw-dropping design over everyday practicality: [1, 2]
- Massive Footprint: Measuring over 5.2 meters (17 feet) long and 2 meters (6.5 feet) wide, British reviewers have pointed out that it is actually too long to fit in a standard UK parking space. However, all-wheel steering gives it the turning circle of a tiny compact car. [1]
- Aero-Efficiency: Features an exceptionally low roofline and a dramatic cab-rear profile. Active cooling vanes, flush glass-to-body lines, hidden door handles, and a deployable 3-stage spoiler help achieve a remarkably slick drag coefficient of 0.23 Cd. [1, 2]
- Retro Inspiration: The incredibly long front hood deliberately echoes the iconic proportions of the 1960s Jaguar E-Type. [1]
