Jaguar unveils its new electric vehicle, the Type 01

Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled its new Jaguar Type 01 electric car, with an ultra-long bonnet, no rear window and a wealth of technology, in New York as it targets the potential for growth in the US market.

The ‌UK-based luxury carmaker, which is owned by India's Tata Motors said the Type 01, an electric four-door GT car, in subtle, muted shades, with a starting price of $130,500, marks the "beginning of a new generation of Jaguar vehicles and a transformative new era". The high price tag represents a gamble in the US, where enthusiasm for EVs has been lower than in Europe.
