FIRST REACTION: Jaguar Type 00 concept – bold or barmy? | Electrifying

#jaguartype 00 # #electriccars

has never avoided making headlines, but in its 90-year history, it's feasible that nothing it has done has sparked as much global discussion as its questionable rebrand. After unveiling a brand-new brand image that redefines what represents in the 21st century– rapidly acquiring millions of social media hits and driving a rise of over 1300% in online searches for "Jaguar"– the business has actually once again broken the internet by finally revealing the first automobile in its transformation into a high-end electrical car producer. An all-electric GT priced at more than ₤ 100k, shown in two bold colours: Miami Pink and London Blue– the former showing the Art Deco environments of its unveiling at Miami Style Week, and the latter drawing on Jaguar's British heritage.

The Type 00 idea, which we initially experienced during a special rundown at Jaguar Land Rover's Midlands headquarters a few weeks back, offers a vibrant glance into the direction Jaguar is taking for this reinvention. It's clear that this is not a car for the shy or retiring. The first images of the Type 00– pronounced "zero-zero" and symbolising zero emissions and the new dawn of Jaguar's next chapter– reveal a daring pink vehicle.

The design language Jaguar is utilizing for the first of its trio of and trucks, set to debut over the coming years, was described by Chief Design Officer Gerry McGovern as: "abundant modernism." And taking a look at the vehicle, it's hard to argue that they haven't nailed the brief. With its front hinged butterfly doors, elongated bonnet, sweeping roofline, and fastback profile, the Type 00 radiates drama.

Flush surfaces provide it a somewhat brutalist visual, and the rear functions a Polestar 4-style glassless tailgate, with electronic cameras inconspicuously tucked under brass plaques on the sides. These plaques are embellished with a two-dimensional Jaguar Leaper, marking the launching of Jaguar's new branding components on a car.

The Type 00 is a significant milestone for Jaguar, in more ways than one. Join Ginny as she exposes whatever we know about it up until now.

      That’s exactly what I thought as well – looked like the original Batmobile from the 1980s Michael Keaton Batman movie.
      What on earth is the long bonnet for? It’s not like they have a frigging huge engine to put under it. Are they putting the battery there to make the whole car lower to the ground?
      Otherwise it had better have a huge frunk to use that space.
      Plus they got rid of the most recognisable and beautiful icon – the leaping jaguar that adorned every previous jaguar like a figurehead.

    I don’t hate it honestly. In a world where we keep complaining about everyone creating the homogenised SUVs and rounded cars (Mercedes), this gives us something different to look at. Will it be successful? Who knows. But I agree it’ll have a similar impact the cybertruck.

    It looks like the first concept car that a car design student would make with the long front end, tiny windows and small back end. If this comes to market, it’d look nothing like this due to safety standards. This feels like some fashion show where people are wearing safety cones, large plastic bags and other crazy things that you’ll never see in public.

    McGovern knows what he’s doing. He took Land Rover completely upmarket, moving away from the agricultural, military and overlanding roots that made Land Rover famous. At the time people predicted the demise of Land Rover, but it has never been more successful. This is that same moment for Jaguar. It is about 10 years overdue.

    1. @SetoPerrier Avatar
      @SetoPerrier

      When Gerry McGovern redefined Land Rover’s design philosophy, critics feared that prioritizing luxury and modern aesthetics over rugged, utilitarian designs—hallmarks of models like the original Defender—would alienate traditional customers and jeopardize the brand’s identity. McGovern, however, implemented a strategy centered on creating vehicles with universal desirability while retaining Land Rover’s DNA through refined sub-brands: Range Rover for luxury, Discovery for versatility, and Defender for ruggedness. This approach, emphasizing emotional connection and long-term appeal, proved transformative, with models like the reimagined Defender and Range Rover achieving global success and propelling the brand to new heights, contrary to the initial skepticism  .

    I’m not its target audience (65, cash poor and time rich!), but I like it! Sadly I can see the production model being a four-door “coupé” rather than a proper two door coupé. So long as it doesn’t go down the Tesla/Volvo minimalism road in the cockpit, it should be OK. I imagine Nigel Farage absolutely hates it!!!
