Jaguar apna new model unveil karne ke or close aa rahi hai. But is brand ne ek kaafi bold decision liya hai, inhone temporarily car sales close kar di or complete focus next gen, fully electric cars develop karne pe laga diya. British brand ke liye ye kaafi risky move hai, jo backfire bhi kar sakta hai. Reason simple hai: world ke most richest buyers ne already ultra exclusive supercars ko ek strong 'no' bol diya hai. Spectre build karne wali company ne bhi ye situation face ki hai.
Bentley bhi apni first electric car par work kar rahi hai, or because Jaguar khud ko bhi ek prestigious brand believe karta hai, usne apne is desi rival par nazar set kar li hai, Rolls Royce at present thoda away target hai. Jaguar ko lagta hai ki wo ye bet win kar sakta hai. But the difference is uske rivals pulg-in hybrids ya normal combustion engines ke saath bhi survive kar sakte hai. Ab dekhte hai kya hota hai, or zyada wait bhi nahi karna padega, because Jaguar apni car ko tough winter testing ke start kar di hai, bas us main epicenter se door, jahan usually mass market brands or spy photographers located hote hai.

Jaguar shifts from spy photos to comprehensive testing of its new electric car
Somewhere in Arctic Circle, feline team phir se extreme cold mein testing kar rahi hai. Itni zyada cold conditions hai ki 150 prototypes mein se ek car ko direct -40°C wali freezing chamber ke inside bhi rakha gaya. Honestly, lagta hai is luxury model ke liye test cars thodi zyada hi ho gayi hai, because humein toh hamesha almost same version, ya uske bilkul nearby wali, car hi seen hoti hai.
Jaguar ne apne is new model ke kuch details reveal kiye hai. Ye ek four door GT hai, jiska design abhi thick vinyl ke below hide hai, or company ise official unveiling tak remove karne ka koi plan nahi rakhti. Isse kaafi alluring or captivating bataya ja raha hai, but size ke aspect mein ye kaafi massive hai, more than 5 meter long. Iska hood kaafi long hai or cabin thoda rear ki taraf set hai. Overall shape ek proper GT wali hai, steeply sloping roofline ke saath or rear mein tailgate diya gaya hai jisme solid rear window hai.

British company ke engineers abhi dynamic chassis controls ko final touch de rahe hai. Saath hi ye bhi confirm ho gaya hai ki high end features jaise four wheel steering, active dampers, or active sir suspendion offer honge, jo flagship model ke liye pretty much standard hote hai.
Isme 3 electric motors hai (2 rear mein, 1 front mein), jo 1,000 hp se bhi zyada power generate karti hai, isliye performance proper sports car wali hai.
But yes, jitna bhi beast ho, passenger comfort is Jaguar ke liye bilkul compromise wali cheez nahi hai.

Company ne ek bilkul new all wheel drive system develop kiya hai, jisme torque vectoring feature hai. Ye system every wheel ko exact right amount of power distribute karta hai, so that kahin bhi traction loss na ho or grip always strong rahe, whether in any situation. Technology kaafi impressive hai, ab bas humein iska bold, cutting edge design or performance real life mein dekhne ka wait hai.
Isme 120 kWh ki lithium-ion battery hogi, jo around 3 meter long hai, or max range around 600 km ke approx offer karegi. But nearly double power or somewhere € 150,000 ki price ke according ye range kaafi low lagti hai. Abhi tak launch date confirm nahi hai, par itna pata hai ki ye luxury electric car, jise at present Type 00 kaha ja raha hai, iss coming summer mein debut kar sakti hai.
