Jaguar Unveils Type 01 Electric GT After Brand Overhaul
Jaguar has shown a new electric car called the Type 01.
It is a large, four-door car designed for luxury and performance.
Jaguar says it can travel up to 450 miles on a charge, though highway range is rated at up to 320 miles.
The company says the car has about 1,000 horsepower and can reach 62 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds.
It will cost $130,500 in the United States and £130,000 in the United Kingdom.
The car is part of Jaguar’s plan to become an all-electric luxury brand.
That plan follows a rebrand in 2024 that drew criticism because its campaign did not show a car.
Jaguar may introduce two more new electric models after the Type 01.
Jaguar unveiled the four-door, all-electric Type 01 in New York on Tuesday, 6 October.
The model starts at $130,500 in the United States and £130,000 in the United Kingdom.
Jaguar says it produces approximately 1,000 horsepower and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 3.2 seconds.
The company claims a range of up to 450 miles, or up to 320 miles at highway speeds.
The Type 01 follows Jaguar’s controversial 2024 rebrand and is expected to be the first of three new electric models.
