Jaguar revealed the dramatic interior of the Type 01 yesterday, as well as dates for its debut.
The Jaguar Type 01 prototype will debut in North America with a distinctive new wrap for Monterey Car Week, culminating at Pebble Beach Concours on 16 August. The Jaguar Type 01 will officially be revealed in New York on 6 October 2026.
Rawdon Glover, managing director at Jaguar, said: “Jaguar Type 01 is the first production car to follow our new creative philosophy. Unmistakable from every angle, the interior is no different.
“With Type 01, we wanted every journey to be an occasion, from how it drives to how it looks and how it makes you feel.
“With a confidence‑inspiring GT driving position, clean and sophisticated technology and dramatic styling, Type 01 has an interior like no other.”
A central spine runs the full length of the cabin, accentuating the longitudinal nature of the design and creating four individual spaces.
The Type 01 is influenced by the enduring beauty of travertine stone and the rich textures of artisan textiles.
The brass‑inspired finish on the central spine is repeated along the tops of the doors. Running the entire length of the cabin, these signature art pieces bear the Jaguar leaper.
Thomas Holden, chief interior designer at Jaguar, said: “Our holistic design philosophy translates the vehicle’s exterior presence into a distinctive interior architecture.
“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.
“With authentic materials, technology on demand and reductive flowing surfaces, Type 01 presents unmistakable drama and theatre that will define the modern luxury automotive interior of the future.”
Strikethrough elements visually merge the bonnet and the slim dashboard.
Infotainment technology is part of the interior architecture. A digital ClearSight Rear View Display is positioned centrally at the base of the windscreen, at the same height as the door mirrors, to help the driver focus.
