Jaguar Type 01 EV production model revealed, retaining the controversial design of its 2024 Type 00 concept. Length 17.1 feet, low roofline and stretched hood, the fastback evokes 1940s gangster cars. It lacks a rear window, using cameras feeding to a windshield-base screen, and exceeds UK parking space limits. Despite its size, a 37.7-foot turning circle is achieved via rear-wheel steering.
The 850-volt architecture and 118 kWh battery deliver 450 miles WLTP range (approx. 385 EPA). Three motors produce 1,016 horsepower and 1,007 lb-ft torque, enabling 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds. Active aerodynamics include a three-stage rear spoiler generating 165.3 pounds of downforce. Five drive modes and Dynamic Air Suspension are standard.
Inside, a minimalist cabin features a central divider, seven-inch console, and 24-inch touchscreen replacing physical controls. Space is limited despite exterior dimensions. Pricing targets the low- to mid-$100,000 range; no sale date announced. Managing director Rawdon Glover stated the radical design targets affluent younger buyers, moving beyond the current "men in their '50s" demographic.
