The ‘Type’ in the name pays homage to some of Jaguar’s iconic models from the past, including models such as the E-Type. The 0 in the name represents zero tailpipe emissions, while the 1 represents the first model in the all-new EV family that will be part of the Jaguar brand after its EV-only rebirth.

Previewed by the polarising Type 00 concept, the Type 01 will make its global debut later this year. Images of the test mule shared by Jaguar have revealed that the electric GT shares a lot of design elements with the Type 00 concept, including its squared-out design elements, though the cabin looks to be lengthened to accommodate a pair of rear doors. The test mule also appears to be lacking a rear windscreen.
