The electric car is the future. While sales of EVs are still dwarfed by traditional gas-powered vehicles, automakers are moving forward with plans to inject electric drivetrain elements into their product lines. The latest is Jaguar which announced today that starting in 2020, all of its new cars will either be some type of hybrid or EV. To mark the occasion, the company unveiled two concept vehicles. One that looks to the past and another that’s pegged on the future.
For fans of Jaguar’s design heritage will be happy to see the Jaguar E-type Zero based on the 1968 Series 1.5 Roadster. Actually the car being showed off by Jaguar in London is a restored 1.5 Roadster. Built by Jaguar Classic the car will do zero to 60 in 5.5 seconds. It’s 40kWh battery has a range of approximately 170 miles. So it’s fast, beautiful, and has enough range so that you can drive around town and make all your friends jealous.
