  "account": "Jaguar has revealed the Type 01, an all-electric four-door grand tourer, as the first production model under the company's radical reinvention. Unveiled in New York, the car retains much of the provocative design of the Type 00 concept, which was shown in Miami in December 2024. The Type 01 features a long bonnet, low roofline, and a cab-rearward silhouette, with no conventional rear window. Instead, a camera feeds the view to a digital rear-view display inside. The car is 5.2 meters long and 1.4 meters high, making it a very large vehicle. Despite its imposing size, Jaguar claims the Type 01 is the most aerodynamic road car it has made, with a drag coefficient of 0.23. The production car is powered by Jaguar's new electric platform, the Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), which houses a tri-motor powertrain producing up to 1,030ps (1,015hp) and 1,365Nm of torque. This makes the Type 01 the most powerful Jaguar road car yet. It can accelerate from 0 to 100kph in 3.2 seconds and from 100kph to 180kph in another 4 seconds. Jaguar emphasizes that the Type 01 is first and foremost a grand tourer, designed to provide long-distance comfort while offering large reserves of power. The car boasts a range of up to 720km under the WLTP testing cycle, with an 850-volt architecture that allows for an additional 200 miles of range in 13 minutes when connected to a 350kW charger. Jaguar's decision to reveal the Type 01 in New York, coupled with the choice of British actress Florence Pugh as its new brand ambassador, signals the company's ambition to transcend the automotive world and tap into broader spheres of fashion, architecture, art, and contemporary culture. The Type 01 is priced at £130,000, placing Jaguar in a different market segment compared to its previous models. Orders for the car are set to open in early 2027, with deliveries expected to begin in the second half of the year.",
  "summary": "After almost two years of teasers, controversy and considerable debate about what a Jaguar should be, the car intended to answer that question has finally arrived. Jaguar has unveiled the Type 01, an all-electric four-door grand tourer and the first production model created under the British marque ’s radical reinvention. Revealed in New York, it is the road-going evolution of the Type 00 concept…",
