By showcasing itself on the streets of Monaco, Jaguar continues to position its future Type 01 where luxury, image, and premium electric intersect.
With just a few months until its official presentation, Jaguar continues to stage its upcoming high-end electric GT sedan. The British brand has unveiled new images of Type 01 prototypes testing on the urban circuit of Monaco, alongside the Monaco E-Prix of Formula E.
This is no trivial territory for Jaguar, which seeks to establish its new electric identity among an international premium clientele. Between the iconic turns of Sainte-Dévote, the Casino Square, and La Rascasse, the Principality offers a particularly exposed backdrop for this communication operation around the future luxury four-door sedan.
The prototypes feature a unique camouflage blending geometric patterns and bright colors, aimed at highlighting the model’s proportions and silhouette without yet revealing its final design. Jaguar specifies that this livery is directly inspired by its new stylistic language.
To be unique…
Beyond the image exercise, the manufacturer also emphasizes the technical links between the Type 01 and its commitment to Formula E with the Jaguar TCS Racing team. The future electric GT would notably benefit from developments made in competition regarding all-wheel drive management, silicon carbide inverters, and energy recovery systems.
According to Rawdon Glover, managing director of Jaguar, the experience gained in the electric world championship has helped to develop “an electric car with unique behavior”, with particular work focused on dynamic responses and driving comfort.
The name “Type 01,” officially announced before the Monaco weekend, also inaugurates a new nomenclature for Jaguar. Besides the in-house “Type,” the brand explains that the “0” refers to the 100% electric propulsion and zero emissions at the exhaust, while the “1” symbolizes the first model of a new Jaguar generation. Does this mean that all future Jaguars will not be exclusively “0”?
