The upcoming Jaguar Type 01 electric GT has been spotted testing in the UAE, possibly marking the first sighting of the much-anticipated EV in the region.
A video shared on social media shows the heavily camouflaged prototype first exiting a gas station – rather amusing for a fully electric vehicle. It is later seen driving on public roads, where its sheer length and low-slung proportions give it plenty of presence.
The camouflage continues to hide most exterior details, but Jaguar has already given us a look inside. The cabin takes inspiration from the 1980s, featuring “four individual spaces”, two-tone seats and a retro-looking two-spoke steering wheel.
Jaguar is expected to officially unveil the Type 01 in October, when we should finally get a proper look at its exterior.
Performance is expected to be suitably serious. Reports suggest a tri-motor electric powertrain producing more than 1,000 hp and 959 lb-ft of torque.

Much anticipated my ass. I wouldn’t drive it if you PAID me.
Too LATE… It may well drive and handle well… but this is a ugly outer body… plus a truly undermining interior… steering wheel reminds me of a SD1 series rover…
This is not going to be better recieved than the Bentley or new Rolls Royce offerings… IMO
Why don’t you wait until you see the car before you decide you cant afford it.
