Summary: # Summary

Jaguar has named its new luxury electric GT car the Type 01, replacing the previously announced Type 00 concept. Camouflaged prototypes will debut at the Monaco E-Prix on May 16-17, with a full reveal later in 2025. The tri-motor all-wheel drive vehicle produces over 735kW and includes a 120kWh battery offering 690km range. The naming convention—where ‘0’ represents electric propulsion and ‘1’ signals the first model of a new era—follows Jaguar’s brand reset strategy announced in 2021.
