The future electric Jaguar will be called GT!

The future all-electric four-door sedan, officially named the Jaguar GT, is entering its final testing phase.
As part of an unprecedented development program, the first prototypes of the Jaguar GT are currently subjected to extreme thermal conditions reaching -40 °C. These tests on frozen lakes complement a rigorous validation cycle that includes trials in desert environments and intensive virtual simulations.
More than 1,000 hp for the Jaguar GT
Technically, this GT positions itself as the most powerful production Jaguar in history. It features a tri-motor powertrain developing over 1,000 hp, coupled with an all-wheel-drive system with active torque distribution. The chassis architecture is based on cutting-edge technologies:
- Dynamic air suspension and active dual-valve dampers.
- All-wheel steering for optimal agility and precision.
- Winter-specific 23-inch tires developed for winter conditions.
One of the major challenges of these arctic tests lies in the validation of the ThermAssist system. This proprietary thermal management technology aims to reduce energy consumption related to cabin heating by up to 40%. The system allows for the recovery of heat from the powertrain to maintain both range and comfort, even at temperatures below -10 °C.
A positioning of “Exuberant Modernism”
Inspired by the brand’s new design philosophy, the all-electric Jaguar GT marks a significant stylistic break. According to Matt Becker, vehicle engineering director at JLR, the goal is to combine the performance of a luxurious grand touring car with the responsiveness inherent to high-performance electric vehicles.
