Jaguar Unveils Type 01 Electric GT
Jaguar has revealed the production version of its highly anticipated electric GT, the Type 01. The car, which was first shown as a concept in 2020, will go on sale in early 2027 with prices starting from around £120,000. The Type 01 is powered by a tri-motor layout, producing over 1000bhp and capable of accelerating from 0-62mph in just 3.2 seconds.

While AI spending is projected to reach $1tn globally, representing a substantial share of worldwide economic output, there's little evidence so far to support these expectations. The US alone is expected to spend around $9tn on AI from 2025 to 2032, but generating a 10% return on investment by 2032 would require annual revenues of approximately $3.55tn.6 sourcesSee all sources
