Jaguar Type 01 Interior Revealed in Radical Design Reset
Jaguar is a famous British car company.
It just showed pictures of the inside of its brand-new electric car, the Type 01.
The cabin looks very different from most cars.
There is no rear window and no normal rear-view mirror.
A screen in the base of the windscreen helps the driver see what's behind the car instead.
A long "central spine" runs through the middle of the car, and there are four separate seats.
Many controls stay hidden until the driver needs them.
The car is very fast and powerful, with around 1,000 horsepower.
It is expected to cost around $130,000.
The full car will be revealed on 6 October in New York, and Jaguar hopes it will relaunch the brand as an all-electric luxury car maker.
Jaguar has revealed official interior images of the production Type 01 ahead of its full unveiling on 6 October in New York.
The cabin features a full-length "central spine," four individual seats, and functions hidden behind "technology on demand."
Type 01 has no rear window and no conventional rear-view mirror, using a "ClearSight Rear View Display" screen in the windscreen base instead.
The range-topping version is reported to deliver around 1,000 horsepower and 0-62 mph in roughly 3.3 seconds.
Pricing is expected to start near $130,000, and the car is central to Tata Motors' plan to relaunch Jaguar as an all-electric, ultra-premium brand.

Stripped-back cabin
Design Reset Backers
Removing the rear window, conventional mirror, and large screens creates an unmistakable interior that Jaguar boss Rawdon Glover says is "no different" from the bold exterior.
Design Critics
The Type 01 removes almost everything a driver expects, and the earlier Type 00 concept split opinion so sharply online that Jaguar's "Copy Nothing" tagline briefly became a punchline.
All-electric relaunch strategy
Design Reset Backers
Rebuilding Jaguar from nothing as an electric-only, ultra-premium marque frees the brand from its legacy lineup and positions it for the future.
Design Critics
Pausing Jaguar's entire legacy lineup, sales included, leaves no fallback range if Type 01 fails when it arrives in October.
