Jaguar Unveils $173,000 Type 01 Electric GT With 1,015 HP and No Rear Window

Jaguar officially unveiled the production Type 01 in New York, an all-electric grand tourer that follows the brand's highly controversial marketing reboot. The vehicle utilizes a custom 850V electric architecture and three motors to generate 1,015 horsepower. Engineers bypassed standard standing-start sprint metrics to focus on mid-range acceleration, calibrating the powertrain to hit 62-112mph in roughly four seconds. The 5.2-meter car relies on a 120kWh battery targeting a 400-mile EPA range and can reportedly add 200 miles in 13 minutes on a 350kW charger. Jaguar abandoned the traditional rear window entirely, opting for an internal camera display inside a cabin that features a 24-inch OLED instrument cluster. "We didn’t start off with, ‘Let’s make an electric Jaguar’. We started off by saying, ‘How can we make the most incredibly dramatic car to look at, and a really, really dynamic car?’" — Rawdon Glover
