Jaguar stopped building cars at the end of 2025 and spent the quiet months turning a polarizing concept into something a customer can order. On Tuesday in New York the covers came off the Type 01, a four-door grand tourer and the first production car on a platform Jaguar built only for itself. The name is a small piece of branding arithmetic. Type points back at older Jaguars, the zero stands for zero tailpipe emissions, and the one marks the first car of the new run.
Jaguar currently competes in Formula E, and last October, they revealed the development version of the I-Type 5 car. So, it wouldn’t be shocking to see the automaker reveal an all-electric hypercar in the near future. Designer Hyunsik Moon believes that to be the case as well, and came up with the Jaguar Unity-One Vision Concept to preview what such a vehicle would look like. The goal was to integrate the feel of a motorcycle into a four-wheeled vehicle.
The Jaguar Vision Gran Tursimo electric hypercar has a standout circuit board livery that pays tribute to milestones such as the Le Mans debuts of the C-type and D-type in 1951 and 1954 respectively. In addition to its streamlined, lightweight composite body structure, it now comes equipped with four in-wheel Jaguar Racing and SV-designed electric motors generating a combined output 1877 hp and 2478 lb-ft of instant torque with intelligent all-wheel drive and torque vectoring to keep the traction.
