The narrow greenhouse is deliberate. The purpose is to make it feel like a driver car rather than a luxury barge.

REVEALED: Jaguar's new 1000bhp electric GT has finally been named, and it's... | Autocar

The 1000bhp EV has been named in tribute to brand's legendary sports cars and its era-defining status

The press release sums it up very well.

It’s called the Type 01, what a name.The 'Type' prefix emphasises the new car's place in a succession of "legendary predecessors" stretching back to the C-Type racer that won at Le Mans in 1951 and continuing through the D-Type, E-Type and F-Type.

Each of these cars, said Jaguar, was celebrated for blending "an engaging drive with deep reserves of power, plus refinement and composure" - attributes it aims for the new EV to share.
Meanwhile, the '0' represents its zero-emissions powertrain and the '1' "denotes its status as the first Jaguar of a new era".

But doesn’t make the name less stupid.

IMHO it fits perfectly If you consider the first YouTube video.

I can’t wait for this car to be a total flop... Lotus has woken up of this stupide "All EV" thing, so I’m still hopeful for Jaguar.

Volvo too.

I guess it’ll be a complete flop.

Not so much in Europe, Volvo is nearly all EV.

The EX60 will be crucial.

The EX60 will be crucial.

I think it's going to be a smash hit, just like the iX3 is for BMW.
