Jaguar finally unveils the most talked-about car of the decade – and its eye-watering price
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Jaguar unveiled its new all‑electric Type 01 GT in New York, a four‑door grand tourer delivering up to 1,016 bhp and a projected 450‑mile range from a 118 kWh battery. The model, priced around £125,000, transforms the two‑door Type 00 concept into a production car, retaining key design cues such as the long bonnet and distinctive rear graphics. Jaguar’s managing director Rawdon Glover positioned the GT to shift brand perception rather than dominate sales, with orders opening in early 2027 and deliveries slated for late 2027. The vehicle’s launch follows a controversial advertising campaign and a high‑profile concept reveal at Miami Art Week.
