Jaguar has officially confirmed the name of its upcoming all-electric four-door grand tourer, the Jaguar Type 01. The luxury British automaker says the new naming strategy signals the beginning of a completely new generation of Jaguar EVs, combining heritage-inspired branding with next-generation electric performance.

The “Type” badge pays tribute to Jaguar’s iconic historic models, while “0” represents zero tailpipe emissions and “1” marks the first model of Jaguar’s upcoming electric transformation. The production-spec Type 01 is expected to become the brand’s flagship performance EV and one of the most powerful road-going Jaguars ever produced.

Jaguar Type 01: Performance And Powertrain

Jaguar has confirmed that the upcoming Type 01 electric GT will feature a triple-motor setup producing more than 1,000bhp and over 1,300Nm of torque. While complete technical specifications are yet to be revealed, the model is expected to deliver hypercar-like acceleration and long-distance grand touring capabilities.

The new EV is being developed as a luxury four-door GT with a strong focus on performance, aerodynamics, and premium technology. Jaguar prototypes will make a public appearance at the upcoming Monaco E-Prix, where the camouflaged development cars will be showcased ahead of the global reveal.

New Design Language And Luxury Focus

The Jaguar Type 01 previews a completely fresh design philosophy for the brand. Early teaser images reveal a low-slung stance, muscular bodywork, sharp LED lighting elements, and a futuristic silhouette aimed at rivaling premium electric sedans like the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and Tesla Model S Plaid.

Jaguar is also expected to heavily focus on advanced software integration, connected technologies, and high-end luxury appointments inside the cabin. The Type 01 will likely serve as the foundation for Jaguar’s future electric lineup as the company transitions into a fully EV-focused luxury manufacturer.

Jaguar’s EV Reinvention Begins

The Type 01 is more than just a new electric car for Jaguar — it represents the beginning of the company’s bold reinvention strategy. With ultra-high performance figures, futuristic styling, and next-generation EV technology, Jaguar aims to reposition itself as a leader in the premium electric performance segment.

More details regarding launch timelines, battery specifications, driving range, and global availability are expected to be revealed in the coming months.
