Jaguar has unveiled Type 01, the most technologically advanced and powerful Jaguar in the brand’s history. A luxury four-door GT that never arrives unnoticed.

Type 01 inspired a celebration of contemporary culture across New York. This was a one-of-a-kind premiere, from large-scale digital displays in Times Square, DUMBO and the Lower East Side, to its dynamic arrival for an exclusive gathering at STORIED in West Chelsea, zip code 10001.

Type 01 is defined by exuberant proportions, with its low roofline, long bonnet, sleek silhouette and dramatic presence. Starting from a single line and a blank sheet of paper, it is the most aerodynamic and powerful Jaguar road car. A bold, one-of-a-kind that breaks convention, with a clear lineage to the great Jaguars of the past including the E-type and XJS.  

Beneath Type 01’s clean surfaces is a bespoke Jaguar Electric Architecture which offers more than 1,000PS, always with power in reserve, for a drive that is unmistakably Jaguar. Powered by an 850-volt electrical architecture, it delivers a 400-mile range (EPA) and adds 200 miles in 13 minutes using 350kW charging. Type 01 represents a new standard of power, aerodynamics and technological advancement for Jaguar.

00:00My name is Andrew Ellis, Propulsion Manager for Jaguar.
00:02So we've chosen to go with three permanent magnet motors on board Type-01,
00:07two in the rear in our rear EDU and one in the front.
00:10Those have been specifically chosen for their class-leading efficiency.
00:13We're able to hit a peak efficiency of 95%.
00:16What we're also able to do is, in certain scenarios, switch off our rear EDU, our rear motor,
00:23in order that we can save on the drivetrain losses through the car
00:27and hit even higher efficiencies for the high-speed cruise,
00:31where we don't need to deploy all of the power.
00:33This is our twin rear EDU. It's been developed bespoke for Jaguar.
00:37It's a high-power twin rear EDU with class-leading torque density of 51 Nm per kilo.
00:43It's got two motors, one in the right and one in the left,
00:46independently able to drive each of the rear wheels on the car
00:48for true torque vectoring across the car to provide improved high-speed stability.
00:53Type-01 has three motors, outputting 1,015 brake horsepower
00:58and 10,650 Nm of torque at the wheels, giving us that real feeling of power in reserve.
01:04So when we first looked at the design for Type-01, we knew it needed to be a Jaguar.
01:10It needed to feel and drive like a Jaguar.
01:13That meant power in reserve, effortless performance,
01:16and delivering incredible pace, but with the utmost grace.
01:19To enable the true feeling of a Jaguar, we wanted the car to have a real rear bias
01:24in its power delivery.
01:26The car has a 70-30 rear-to-front split on its power delivery,
01:31enabled by the rear motor.
01:33Type-01's been engineered to have global charging interoperability.
01:37That means the customer can go wherever they want, whenever they want,
01:41and be able to plug in seamlessly.
01:43Our headline figures at 850 volts, supported by our battery,
01:48is able to put 200 miles of range into the car in as little as 13 minutes.
01:53We're able to switch our battery into a 400-volt native setup.
01:57That allows us to still charge at 250 kilowatts.
02:02At 800 volts, we're able to charge at 350 kilowatts.
02:05We know destination charging is really important for our customers.
02:10We've enabled dual-sided charge ports with our high-voltage junction box in the car,
02:15and that means that you can charge on either side of the car whenever you arrive.
02:20It doesn't matter where the wall box is, how long the cable is,
02:23we've got that seamless charging capability.
02:26So I joined Jaguar four and a half years ago with a blank piece of paper
02:30to design a propulsion system for Type-01.
02:33It had to be special, it had to be Jaguar,
02:37and it is my privilege to have worked on the most powerful Jaguar ever.
02:42The ability to have a power and reserve feeling,
02:46to add character into a BEV platform with a truly unique architecture,
02:50has been incredibly special.
02:52Our high-power twin Rude EU giving you that rear-wheel drive feeling,
02:56to support our power and reserve,
02:59and that confidence of go anywhere,
03:01power whenever you need it,
03:03but in a refined and controlled manner,
03:05giving you true capability wherever you might want to deploy it.
