Jaguar is trying to relaunch itself by targeting a young American audience with the Type 01, an electric sports car designed to reshape the brand’s image. The debut marks a new phase for the British maker, which wants to come across as bolder and more distinctive.
There is, however, an unusual detail: its dimensions are so generous that drivers in the UK may not welcome it, since many parking spaces are tight. A paradox that highlights the gap between global ambition and everyday European use.
