Jaguar Unveils Type 00 Concept: A Visionary Leap into Electric Luxury

Jaguar has revealed its long-anticipated Type 00 Concept, a striking preview of the brand’s upcoming all-electric transformation. Making its debut at Miami Art Week, the Type 00—pronounced “zero-zero”—is as much a sculpture as it is a car, showcasing Jaguar’s commitment to blending high art with advanced automotive innovation.


Art Meets Engineering in Exuberant Modernism

Jaguar Managing Director Rawdon Glover positioned the Type 00 as an artistic statement:

“Our presence at Miami Art Week emphasizes Jaguar’s purpose as an advocate for art and creativity in all its forms. We know that art is a passion point for our future clients, so what better way than to go and talk to them directly, at one of the world’s premier art festivals.”

Dubbed Exuberant Modernism, the design language reimagines Jaguar’s legacy with minimalist yet bold aesthetics. The long hood seamlessly transitions into a sleek fastback roofline, while the front end features razor-thin lights and a subtle rectangular grille embossed into the body.

Adding to its avant-garde appeal, the Type 00 sports:

  • Vertical panels behind the front fenders reminiscent of the Range Rover’s elegance.
  • Rear-facing cameras mounted in brass ingots that deploy as needed, replacing traditional side mirrors.
  • A pantograph tailgate instead of a rear window, offering access to a rear cargo shelf.

Access to the interior is granted by butterfly doors, while the rear is finished with a rectangular grille housing full-width taillights.


A Minimalist Interior with a Bold Twist

Inside, Jaguar continues its fusion of futuristic and artisanal design. The cabin is divided by a brass spine, which supports two rotating screens that rise from the dash. No traditional instruments or controls are visible, emphasizing the concept’s minimalist ethos.

The material choices are even more daring:

  • Seats and the central spine are supported by travertine stone, blending natural elements with cutting-edge design.
  • Upholstery is crafted from a wool blend inspired by handwoven yarns, adding warmth and texture to the high-tech environment.

Electric Performance: What We Know So Far

While Jaguar has remained tight-lipped on the Type 00’s mechanical details, it has confirmed that the concept rides on its new JEA architecture, purpose-built for its next generation of EVs. Key targets include:

  • 430-mile EPA-estimated range.
  • Charging capabilities to reclaim 200 miles in just 15 minutes with a high-speed charger.

A Glimpse at the Future

The Type 00 Concept may heavily influence Jaguar’s first production EV, a four-door GT set to debut in late 2025. Spy photos suggest the production car will retain the concept’s proportions, including a long, low silhouette and fastback roofline.

Jaguar CEO Adrian Mardell hinted at the emotional and historical significance of this new era:

“The magic of Jaguar is close to my heart—an original British luxury brand unmatched in its heritage, artistry, and emotional magnetism. That’s the Jaguar we are recapturing, and we will create the same sense of awe that surrounded iconic models like the E-Type.”


Final Thoughts: The Dawn of a New Jaguar

With the Type 00 Concept, Jaguar signals its ambitious future in the EV market, intertwining artistry and engineering in a way that pays homage to its storied past while embracing a bold, electrified tomorrow. Whether its daring design and materials make it to production remains to be seen, but the Type 00 is already capturing imaginations as a glimpse of what’s to come.
