Jaguar Type 01, the first verdict on the electric GT that divides opinions
The new battery-powered coupé arrives with radical styling, strong road presence and questions about price, range and brand identity.
The Jaguar Type 01 marks the start of a completely new phase for the British brand: an electric GT designed to relaunch the company’s image with very bold lines and a luxury grand-touring approach. Seen in the metal, it stands out for its proportions and details, but not everyone will welcome a design so far removed from Jaguars of the past.
The first judgement therefore remains balanced between appeal and doubts. The car promises high performance and advanced technology, but key issues still need confirming for the Italian market: real-world range, charging times and, above all, its pricing. It is a car meant to spark debate even before it reaches the road.
