Jaguar Type 01 specs, leaked design and New York debut

© thesupercarblog.com

Jaguar Type 01 appeared without camouflage just hours before its official debut in New York. Judging by the leaked image, the move from the provocative Type 00 concept to the production car has not brought the usual design softening: the very long hood, high shoulder line, narrow glasshouse and almost monolithic front end remain, while the two-door layout has given way to four conventional doors.

There is another clue supporting the image's origin. The Supercar Blog, one of the first outlets to publish the shot, later said it had removed it at Jaguar's request. The image is not an official press photo, however, so small body details should still be treated as provisional until the presentation.

Jaguar has already confirmed the most important technical figures. Type 01 uses three electric motors with combined output of more than 1000 hp and torque above 1300 Nm. Intelligent torque distribution, air suspension and active twin-valve dampers have also been announced. Unlike many battery specifications circulating online, these figures have been published by the manufacturer itself.

Earlier preliminary reports put the battery at roughly 120 kWh, the electrical architecture at 800 volts, charging at around 350 kW and WLTP range at up to 770 km. Jaguar has not yet published that full set of figures for the production car. The brand itself previously stated a target of more than 700 km WLTP and said rapid charging could add up to 321 km of range in about 15 minutes. The final battery capacity, peak charging power and range therefore remain to be confirmed at the world premiere.

The price is similarly unsettled. Earlier estimates around €100,000 circulated around the model, but recent reporting by The Times points to a figure above £130,000. Jaguar has not published a public price list, so the price could be one of the biggest surprises of the presentation.

The interior is no longer a secret. Jaguar has already shown a four-seat cabin with a long central structure dividing the space into four individual zones, a low driver seating position, a slim dashboard and digital interfaces. The production exterior was the last major unknown, and the current leak, if it really shows the final car, has effectively revealed it early.

The official checkpoint is already set: Jaguar will begin the Type 01 world presentation in New York at 20:00 EDT on October 6. After that, the final battery, range and pricing specifications can be separated from the preliminary figures.
