The “Type 00,” Jaguar’s revolutionary all-electric car, is a daring move for the venerable British company and more reminiscent of the Pink Panther’s flamboyance than its conventional image as the green Jaguar.
The car was unveiled in a high-profile ceremony in Miami, Florida, and was officially designated the ‘Type 00’ (pronounced ‘Zero Zero’). It is a two-seat fastback coupe with a striking design and a length of more than four meters.
The complete specs of the concept car, which showcases Jaguar’s bold new design approach, are now accessible, despite the fact that data were leaked hours before its formal introduction.
The automobile has smooth bodywork, a slatted panoramic roof, butterfly-wing doors that open upward, a tall, streamlined bonnet, a flowing roofline, and no rear window.
The car has a lavish ‘Miami Pink’ satin finish and is mounted on massive 23-inch wheels.
After a century of existence, Jaguar has made a bold move for exclusivity in the electric vehicle (EV) industry by replacing its traditional identity with new emblems.
In order to compete with rivals like Audi, Tesla, Bentley, and Aston Martin, Jaguar is now aiming for a more affluent and premium clientele.
The automaker maintains that the Type 00 is “a copy of nothing” and calls it “a fearless new face for Jaguar.”
Jaguar wants to depart from its typical clientele, which was formerly made up of middle-aged, well-off people represented by figures like Inspector Morse, who owned a vintage red Mk II Jaguar.
Only 15% of potential clients will be repeat customers, according to corporate leaders, while 85% would be fresh new.
The Miami Pink Type 00’s formal designation as a “design vision concept” vehicle makes it evident the way the next three production versions will be styled.
The four-door Grand Tourer, which has previously been seen in camouflage during testing, is expected to usher in Jaguar’s new era.
The vehicle will be unveiled in late 2025, and sales are anticipated to begin in 2026.
The GT will have a remarkable 478-mile electric range on a single charge, and with quick charging, it can reach 200 miles in 15 minutes.
