 "Jaguar unveils its much-hyped concept EV named 'Type 00', expected to cost more than £100,000")
Jaguar has revealed its highly anticipated electric concept car, the Type 00, at Miami Art Week, marking a bold step in its transition to an all-electric future. Showcased in eye-catching Miami pink and London blue, the concept aims to redefine Jaguar’s image with daring designs and cutting-edge technology.
However, the flashy reveal, coupled with leaked images that hit the internet hours before the event, has left some fans questioning whether this futuristic direction aligns with the brand’s storied heritage.
A bold new look, a bold new statement from Jaguar
The Type 00 is more than just a concept; it’s Jaguar’s statement of intent. With no rear windscreen, cameras replacing traditional mirrors, and a wraparound windscreen that melds into tapering windows, the car exudes a futuristic vibe.
Built on a dedicated electric platform, it boasts an impressive range of up to 478 miles and fast-charging capabilities that add 200 miles in just 15 minutes. Despite its innovative appeal, some wonder whether the model’s unconventional aesthetics will resonate with Jaguar’s traditional customer base.
The design of the Type 00 has sparked plenty of conversation. Jaguar’s decision to replace the rear windscreen with cameras and integrate gold accents with concealed tech reflects its commitment to futuristic innovation.
The colours, Miami pink and London blue, add flair. The wraparound windscreen and dramatic curves evoke a racing helmet’s sleek aesthetic, cementing its appeal to a younger, trendier audience.
Shifting gears in a competitive EV market
Jaguar’s unveiling of the Type 00 comes at a critical time as the company rebrands itself to focus solely on electric vehicles. This shift includes a new logo and the tagline “copy nothing,” a campaign designed to attract fresh eyes while shedding traditional advertising norms.
The transformation follows criticism of Jaguar’s slow adoption of EVs, with its ageing I-Pace, which was launched in 2018 being its only electric offering to date. The 18 billion electrification effort will also deliver an electric Range Rover by late 2024 and three new electric models by 2026.
Balancing innovation and tradition
While Jaguar’s move into the EV market is ambitious, it has not been without controversy. Critics have accused the brand of losing touch with its traditional roots, particularly with the bold styling of the Type 00. However, Jaguar executives maintain that targeting a younger generation is essential for staying competitive.
Expected to be priced at over £100,000 and likely to be officially launched in 2025, the Type 00 may just be the impetus that Jaguar needs as it embarks on a search for a place of its place in the new, EV-centric automotive world.
