Jaguar Type 01 Redefines Luxury
Jaguar has revealed the bold interior of the new Type 01 electric GT ahead of the car’s full unveiling in October. The new four-seater will kick-start the British brand’s reinvention as an all-electric luxury marque. The interior takes clear inspiration from that of the controversial Type 00 concept and the firm calls it “a concept car vision brought to production”. The most notable feature of the design is a large ‘central spine’ – termed a “signature art piece” by Jaguar – that runs the entire length of the cabin between both the front and rear seats.
