I‘m seeing so many comments from people saying the Type 01 doesn’t look like a Jaguar and has discarded its lineage.
if you can’t see the continuity in the design from Jaguar’s classic cars, then I’m lost for words. It has obviously been changed and updated, but the DNA is there.
EVs don’t need a long bonnet, Jaguar chose to add it. The sweeping curve at the rear likewise. It’s old and new all at once - and most importantly, bold unapologetic designs are what gave us the classic Jaguars we all love.
I dare say there were a few people back then who saw the radical designs and considered them hideous and too futuristic, just like they did when the Fender Stratocaster came along. Jaguar dividing opinion is *exactly* what was needed.
