The first jaguar Since the brand stopped making cars as part of its reinvention, a 5.2m long electric sedan will arrive in showrooms, featuring four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering and producing over 735kW of power.
Jaguar has confirmed previously rumored power output of more than 1000 hp (735 kW) for its new GT, which is due to be unveiled later this year ahead of its expected arrival in Australian showrooms sometime in 2027.
Currently, the new electric vehicle (EV) announced in 2024 by the controversial Type 00 concept car is only called the GT and therefore does not appear to have an official production name yet.

The electric sedan’s power – which is significantly higher than the 461 kW of the Tesla Model 3 Performance and potentially eclipses the 1019 hp (760 kW) of the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach package – will come from three permanent magnet electric motors, one on the front axle and two on the rear axle.
While the exact performance figure has not yet been determined, Autocar Jaguar has reportedly confirmed 1300Nm of torque for its new-generation flagship, beating the Taycan Turbo S Weissach’s figure of 1240Nm.
The vehicle is presented as a sedan with similar proportions to the previous Jaguar
According to Jaguar, the Type 00 – based on the new Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA) – is 5.2m long, has a 3200mm wheelbase and is 1.4m high. However, the brand is yet to confirm the width.
A test car passed by Autocar It was equipped with 23-inch alloy wheels with Pirelli tires and 255 mm wide front and 295 mm wide rear tires. In markets with poorer road conditions, a smaller 21-inch alloy wheel is offered as an option free of charge.
The long bonnet is paired with a short overhang of 877mm at the front and a 1,158mm overhang at the rear, while inside there is a notable 903mm of clearance between the front axle and the driver’s footwell.
Packaging benefits include a low center of gravity with a 120kWh battery delivering around 692km of WLTP range, supported by what Jaguar says is its most aerodynamic body to date with a drag coefficient (Cd) of less than 0.25.
Jaguar had previously targeted a WLTP range of up to 770 km for the production GT.
This figure is lower than the Jaguar XJ220 supercar built between 1992 and 1994 – which was not officially sold in Australia – and had a drag coefficient of 0.36.
Rather than being housed in a single block, the battery cells are distributed throughout the vehicle, helping to enable a claimed “close F-Type driving position” – a nod to Jaguar’s former sports coupe – as well as a 50:50 weight distribution.
The battery packs are also Type 00 stressed structural elements and can absorb up to 70 percent of the impact energy.
The adaptive Bilstein dampers with two-chamber air springs and stabilizers as well as three driving modes for adjusting the suspension, steering and torque delivery ensure further ride comfort and handling.
Tuned to give the feel of rear-wheel drive, the all-wheel-drive Jaguar also features rear-wheel steering to improve stability and driver confidence, contributing to a relatively tight turning circle of 11.5m.
Jaguar recently dismissed proposals to introduce hybrid models as “rubbish” and reiterated its commitment to an all-electric future.
The British brand built its last combustion engine vehicle, a V8 petrol-powered Jaguar F-Pace SVR, in December 2025.
