Don\u2019t let the bluff angles fool you\u2014the shape still achieves a drag coefficient of 0.23. Coupled with a 118 kWh (usable) battery pack, that should allow for about 400 miles (644 km) on a single charge, although a formal EPA estimate will show up closer to the car\u2019s arrival in US dealerships in mid-2027. The pack\u2014many examples of which I saw being manufactured on a recent visit<\/a> to one of Jaguar Land Rover\u2019s<\/a> factories in the English Midlands\u2014operates at 850 V, and Jaguar says that a 350 kW DC fast charger will take the battery from 10\u201380 percent in 22 minutes.<\/p>\n

Even though Jaguar hasn\u2019t had any new cars to sell, it hasn\u2019t been entirely dormant; there\u2019s a rather effective Formula E program, after all. A few weeks ago, that powertrain scored its third team championship in four years, adding a second title for the Jaguar TCS Racing squad (the third being the customer Envision Racing team). And over the years, Jaguar\u2019s boffins have actually learned a lot about how to design, build, and operate electric powertrains that are both powerful and efficient, and that work has direct benefits<\/a> to road-going EVs.<\/p>\n

Here, we can see that in the Type 01\u2019s silicon carbide inverters and the car\u2019s traction control system, to name but two. Add in a 50:50 weight distribution, all-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, and 1,015 hp (757 kW) and 1,007 lb-ft (1,365 Nm) and the Type 01 should have driving dynamics to justify the expected $120,000\u2013$130,000 MSRP.<\/p>\n

But no one cares about any of that, because it seems mostly they\u2019re all just mad about the way it looks. \u201cYou made some classic cars along the way, too bad your final one sucks,\u201d said one colleague this morning. \u201cI\u2019m not sure who that Jaguar is meant to appeal to. Zero personality executives maybe?\u201d asked another. \u201cStill better than the Cybertruck,\u201d said a third, all of whom will remain nameless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Don\u2019t let the bluff angles fool you\u2014the shape still achieves a drag coefficient of 0.23.
