JAGUAR E-TYPE ZERO: “THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ELECTRIC CAR IN THE WORLD”
The Jaguar E‑type Zero not only drives and looks like an E‑type, it also offers outstanding performance. It’s quicker than an original E‑type: 0‑100km/h (62mph) takes only 5.5sec, about one second quicker than a Series 1 E‑type.
In order to seamlessly combine the new electric powertrain of E‑type Zero with the dynamic set‑up of the original E‑type specification, we have limited the vehicle’s power output. We believe this provides the optimum driving experience.
