Jaguar's Controversial Type 00 Drives Way Better Than You Think

"The secret to its remarkable comfort is its extremely stiff chassis combined with an adaptive three-chamber air suspension that individually controls the stiffness and damper rates on each corner. He also experienced the tri-motor powertrain, which is expected to produce over 1,000 horsepower, of which 900 horsepower will be going to the rear wheels, which, according to Top Gear, make this an unexpectedly good drift machine."

"Members of the media go for a passenger ride in the Jaguar Type 00 prototype and share their impressions. The Type 00 impressed journalists with its blend of surprising comfort, refinement and performance. The production version will have a tri-motor setup with over 1,000 horsepower and two motors on the back powering each wheel individually. Critics seem to be warming up to the upcoming Jaguar electric vehicle previewed by the controversial Type 00 concept."

"The car looks unusually long and low in person, with a very short front overhang, a greenhouse that's set way back, and a lot more hanging over the rear wheels. This layout gives it the proportions of a luxury car from as far back as the 1930s, and there certainly won't be anything quite like it on the road, bar some Rolls-Royce and Bentley models."

The Jaguar Type 00 prototype combined surprising comfort, refinement and strong performance during passenger rides. The production version will use a tri-motor layout exceeding 1,000 horsepower, with two rear motors powering each wheel individually and roughly 900 horsepower directed to the rear axle. An extremely stiff chassis paired with adaptive three-chamber air suspension individually controls stiffness and damper rates at each corner to deliver exceptional ride quality. Precise torque vectoring from the dual-motor rear axle enables controllable drifting. The body is unusually long and low with a short front overhang and a set-back greenhouse, evoking 1930s luxury proportions. Interior seating sits surprisingly low for an EV.
