Overview
- Jaguar unveiled the production Type 01 on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, showing a sober silver four‑door GT that keeps the concept’s long bonnet, low roofline and dramatic proportions.
- The company says the car uses an 850‑volt electrical architecture, a tri‑motor layout that produces about 1,000bhp, an EPA range near 400 miles, 350kW charging that adds roughly 200 miles in 13 minutes, and a 0–62mph time of about 3.2 seconds.
- Jaguar has priced the Type 01 at about £130,000 and describes it as a low‑volume halo model with order openings planned for early 2027 and customer deliveries later in 2027.
- Early reaction is sharply split, with some journalists and designers praising the ambition and styling while some luxury car consultants have called the production car inconsistent or an “unmitigated catastrophe,” and the company has downplayed its earlier provocative 'Copy Nothing' marketing.
- The Type 01 faces commercial risk because high‑end electric car sales and used values have softened, so independent verification of range and charging performance plus initial sales figures will be the key tests of whether the model can help revive Jaguar.
