Jaguar has revealed the first official photos of the Type 01's cabin ahead of its full October debut: a four-seat layout split by a 3.2-meter brass spine, almost no physical buttons, and a rear-view mirror replaced by a digital screen. The exterior is still camouflaged — including at today's Pebble Beach appearance.
Jaguar released the first official interior photos of the Type 01 on August 12, 2026, from its Gaydon, UK engineering headquarters, timed to land during Monterey Car Week. The exterior is still under wraps — literally, including at today's Pebble Beach Concours appearance, where a camouflaged prototype showed up wearing a new red-and-tan geometric wrap. The full, uncovered car won't be revealed until October 6 in New York.
The Type 01's cabin skips the wide, screen-dominated dashboard that's become standard across Mercedes, BMW, and Tesla alike. Instead, a large digital instrument cluster sits directly in front of the driver, handling speed, navigation, and everything else a center screen would normally show — there's no separate display for the front passenger at all. A small smartphone-style touchscreen pokes out of the center console for climate and media controls, and where a rearview mirror would normally sit, Jaguar has installed a "ClearSight Rear View Display," a digital screen at the base of the windshield. There's no actual rear window to look through — the production Type 01 follows the Avatr 12 and Polestar 4 in going without one entirely.
Jaguar describes the color and material scheme as drawing from "travertine stone and the rich textures of artisan textiles" — cream and brown upholstery paired with brass accents running along the spine, door cards, and part of the steering wheel. Linear graphics visually connect the dashboard to the exterior hood line, a design cue Jaguar is carrying over almost directly from the Type 00 concept that first previewed this design language back in December 2024.
"In contrast to the horizontal interior design norm, we emphasise its dramatic longitudinal nature through the central spine — an architectural statement that creates four individual spaces."
— Thomas Holden, Jaguar Chief Interior DesignerJaguar hasn't finalized every performance figure, but the numbers released so far point to a serious GT rather than a design showpiece. The Type 01 rides on a dedicated Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), paired with a 120 kWh battery pack. Jaguar is targeting more than 400 miles of EPA range (700 km WLTP), with a tri-motor all-wheel-drive setup producing north of 986 hp (735 kW) and 959 lb-ft of torque.
The Type 01 traces directly back to the Type 00 concept Jaguar revealed in late 2024 — a reveal that immediately drew public jabs from figures including Tesla's Elon Musk and executives at Lucid, mocking the design as an overreach for a brand trying to reinvent itself. Jaguar hasn't softened course since: the production interior keeps the concept's central spine, the four-seat pod layout, and the minimalist, hidden-tech philosophy largely intact, rather than smoothing it out for a broader audience the way many automakers do between concept and production.
The bottom line: Jaguar is betting its entire relaunch on a cabin — and a brand — that looks nothing like what came before it, and the production interior proves the company isn't backing away from that bet now that the car is close to real. Whether buyers respond to a four-seat GT with no rear window and almost no buttons the way Jaguar hopes gets tested for real on October 6.
The Gravity GT-S adds a blue-accented performance trim to Lucid's three-row SUV: 1,070 horsepower, a 3.1-second 0-60 mph time, and a 926-volt platform that charges at up to 400 kW. Orders are open now starting at $125,900.
Tesla is reportedly planning to demo the SpaceX-thruster-equipped Roadster this month at SpaceX's McGregor, Texas test site — remotely operated, with nobody inside. After nearly nine years and at least eight missed deadlines, here's what's actually confirmed and what still isn't.
Porsche's new E-Shift option gives the all-electric Taycan simulated gear changes, shift jerks, a 7,500 rpm virtual redline, and paddle shifters — built entirely in software, and cleverly timed around the one real mechanical gear the Taycan already has.
