Jaguar may look quiet right now, but make no mistake — the brand is playing a long, calculated game. With only the aging F-Pace still on sale, Jaguar isn’t rushing to refill showrooms. Instead, under Tata Motors’ ownership, it’s preparing what could be the most daring move in its history: a fully electric luxury GT, known internally as the X900, and inspired by the striking Type 00 concept.
It’s been more than a year since the concept was revealed, yet Jaguar is deliberately keeping the production version out of sight. The camouflage won’t come off before 2026, and customer deliveries aren’t expected until the second half of 2027. This is not a comeback built on urgency — it’s one built on intent.
Can Sheer Power Redefine Jaguar?
Jaguar has now confirmed some key details, and they leave little room for subtlety. The car will use three electric motors — one up front and two at the rear — producing more than 1,000 horsepower. Power is sent predominantly to the rear, with a 30:70 torque split that can adapt to driving conditions, underlining Jaguar’s desire to keep a strong performance identity, even in an all-electric future.
This isn’t just about luxury or silence. Jaguar wants drivers to feel something again.
Big, Heavy, but Carefully Thought Out
An electric luxury GT of this size is never going to be light, but Jaguar is aiming to keep weight below 2,750 kg, paired with a carefully managed front-to-rear balance.
At over five meters long and sitting on massive 23-inch wheels, the car has serious road presence. It’s designed to look expensive, confident, and unapologetically bold — exactly what Jaguar needs right now.
Familiar Proportions, A Clean Break from the Past
That long hood may trick your eyes into expecting a big combustion engine underneath, but Jaguar is done with that chapter. This car marks a full and final shift to electric power. No hybrids, no transitional engines — just electricity.
At the rear, the hatchback-style tailgate adds a practical touch, although the loading opening appears relatively narrow. It’s a reminder that design still takes priority over everyday usability in this GT.
Range to Match the Ambition
Power alone isn’t enough, and Jaguar knows it. The new flagship is expected to feature a large 120 kWh battery, delivering up to 644 km of range under the WLTP cycle. That puts it firmly among the long-distance leaders in the luxury EV segment.
The car rides on a dedicated electric platform and comes loaded with serious hardware, including air suspension, dual-valve dampers borrowed from Range Rover technology, and rear-wheel steering with up to six degrees of movement to make this large GT feel more agile than its size suggests.
Effortless Speed, Near Silence
One of the test prototypes has already hit 257 km/h — and did so with almost eerie calm. Thanks to advanced sound insulation and active noise cancellation, speed comes without drama, reinforcing the idea that this Jaguar is built for fast, refined long-distance travel rather than raw theatrics.
Expensive, Exclusive, and a Major Gamble
Jaguar has already built 150 test cars and confirmed that the final design is locked in. Pricing is expected to start at around $120,000, with pre-orders opening next summer.
What’s more telling is Jaguar’s honesty about who this car is for. Only 15% of buyers are expected to be existing Jaguar customers. The remaining 85% will be completely new to the brand. This isn’t about pleasing loyalists — it’s about reinventing Jaguar’s image from the ground up.

Profit Over Volume, by Design
Jaguar’s transformation didn’t come out of nowhere. Sales have collapsed from 181,000 cars in 2018 to just 33,000 last year, with European registrations falling more than 86% in 2025 alone. Faced with those numbers, Jaguar chose not to chase volume anymore.
Instead, the brand is betting on exclusivity, higher margins, and fewer cars that carry more meaning — even if that means fading from the mainstream spotlight.
This new electric GT isn’t just a model launch. It’s a statement of intent, a high-stakes gamble, and perhaps Jaguar’s clearest answer yet to a simple question: in an electric world, can a brand survive by standing for something again — or will power alone have to do the talking?
