The Jaguar Type 00 is a concept electric 2-door coupe officially revealed by British luxury automotive marque Jaguar at Miami Art Week in December 2024.[3][4][5]
Design
The vehicle's design was influenced by Renaissance-era architecture. It has been compared to that of the Jaguar E-Type and Rolls-Royce Spectre.[1][6][7] The car was made in two colours: Miami Pink, which was inspired by Miami's artwork and renowned 80s neon aesthetic, and London Blue, which reflects the UK.[6]
The car is a two-door coupe with a long bonnet and a fastback roof. It has butterfly doors. There is a grille-like "strikethrough" design on the front and rear.[6] The seats have stone supports and are separated by a brass spine.[2]
The design was not intended for production and instead meant to promote an upcoming line of electric cars.[8]
Launch
In 2024, Jaguar relaunched its brand with a new logo, motto and concept car. The revealed "Jaguar Type 00" at the Miami Art Show was controversial on both online reactions and wider media coverage.[9] The Jaguar Type 00 name (spoken as "zero-zero") draws inspiration from the iconic Jaguar Type series of the past, particularly the renowned E-Type. The first "zero" represents the car's zero-emissions electric powertrain, while the second "zero" is supposedly in reference to the beginning of a "whole new lineage of Jaguars".[10] While only a concept car, it is the first Jaguar car to display the new logo and badge, and the company has stated that it is a representation the direction the company will go with its future design style.[11]
The production electric grand tourer previewed by the Type 00 concept will be named the Type 01.[12][13] The company said the model would use a tri-motor electric powertrain producing more than 986 hp and 958 lb-ft of torque.[12] Jaguar showcased a prototype of the car at the Formula E race event in Monaco in late May, along with a number of existing production models.[14] It was reported that the company will reveal the final car at some point in 2026.[12]
