Jaguar Previews Type 01 EV Flagship on Monaco Circuit

The camouflaged four-door GT signals Jaguar’s reset to a low‑volume, all‑electric lineup informed by Formula E tech.

Overview

  • Jaguar ran camouflaged prototypes of its new Type 01 around the Monaco street circuit as a public teaser for the brand’s next flagship.
  • The company says the name uses a revived “Type” badge, with the 0 meaning zero tailpipe emissions and the 1 marking the first model of Jaguar’s new era.
  • Jaguar cites learnings from its championship Formula E program, including all‑wheel‑drive control software, silicon‑carbide inverters and strong regenerative braking, and it will use a new Jaguar Electric Architecture platform.
  • Media reports point to a tri‑motor setup with about 1,000 bhp and over 1,300 Nm, an 850‑volt system and a battery near 120 kWh, but Jaguar has not released final specifications.
  • Outlets also report WLTP range targets between roughly 644 km and up to 700 km and early overseas pricing near US$160,000, with a full reveal and a global launch planned for late 2026.
