Creation of Galatea

• Galatea was born out of an idea of creating an
  affordable all electric roadster completely out
  of off-the shelf parts to improve reliability and
  cut cost of ownership.
• To improve driver experience Galatea uses all
  electric propulsion together with aesthetic body
  of the historic XJ13 Jaguar.

Design of Galatea

• The body for the Galatea was selected to be a
  replica of the famous Jaguar XJ13
• In 1967 XJ13 was Jaguars first V-12 platform and
  answer to the challenge to remain competitive in
  the LeMans racing circuit.
• Aesthetic appeal of XJ13 was so strong that
  Jaguar discontinued its production for fear that
  it will cannibalize sales of then successful
  model E-type
• Only one XJ13 was ever build.
• The famous Jaguar now resides at Jaguar Daimler
  Heritage Trust Museum, attracting attention and
  visitors from all over the world.

XJ13 Reborn

• Although XJ13 is not available for private
  ownership, replica version of the body is now
  available in a kit form from a number of
  suppliers.
• Galatea combines the body of XJ13 with all
  electric propulsion system.
• All of the Galatea components and subassemblies
  are available in catalogs.

Construction of Galatea

• Unlike the original XJ13 that was build as a
  prototype to race once, the body of Galatea was
  redesigned using modern materials and
  manufacturing techniques for an extended use,
  safety and durability.
• Addition of an all electric propulsion drive
  further enhances performance and energy
  efficiency.
