Jaguar's Type 00 Premieres in Live-Action Video | Carscoops

      The controversial two-door concept will be succeeded by a production-ready, all-electric four-door GT set to launch in late 2025.

      Jaguar unveiled the Type 00 Concept during Paris Fashion Week.

      The electric vehicle cruised on public roads, flaunting a new blue shade.

      In the meantime, Jaguar’s chief executive provided new information regarding the forthcoming GT.

      Jaguar's divisive Type 00 Concept made an unexpected appearance on the streets of Paris, capturing attention with its new color and operating independently for the first time. Simultaneously, Jaguar’s Managing Director, Rawdon Glover, shared fresh insights on the brand's upcoming fully electric four-door GT, scheduled for release in late 2025.

      The two-door concept showcased a new hue called French Ultramarine, contrasting sharply with the vibrant Miami Pink and softer London Blue observed earlier. The prototype maintained its silver-accented lower body and the same alloy wheels, retaining the striking aesthetic that has sparked discussions since its debut.

      In the footage, the Jaguar Type 00 was gently driven through public streets before halting outside a venue for Paris Fashion Week. The butterfly doors opened gracefully, and Irish actor Barry Keoghan exited from the passenger seat, retrieving his jacket from the futuristic trunk.

      Keoghan's presence ensured significant media coverage for Jaguar, as he later posed for more photos while seated in the driver's position, showcasing the light-colored interior of the two-seater. This event was held on Sunday, March 9.

      What’s Next? Jaguar’s Electric GT

      Just days ahead of the Type 00’s appearance in Paris, Jaguar’s Managing Director, Rawdon Glover, provided new insights to Autocar about the company’s inaugural production model of its electric transformation, which will evolve the Type 00’s design into a super-luxurious four-door sedan.

      Glover affirmed that the forthcoming four-door GT will preserve the concept’s bold styling. He noted that Jaguar's designers and engineers collaborated to ensure that the EV’s design does not compromise safety, performance, or aerodynamics. Recent spy images indicate that the production version will feature a long hood, narrow LED lights, a sporty roofline, and a wide stance.

      Regarding the interior, Glover mentioned that Jaguar prioritized "design, craftsmanship, and engineering, along with driving experience, rather than pure technology," leaving the tech aspect to competitors from China. The aim is to create “an amazing environment,” where the technology is “available when necessary.”

      All future models from Jaguar will be built on the new Jaguar Electric Architecture, specifically developed for electric vehicles. Electric motors and battery packs will be shared among JLR products, but they will be paired with unique designs and chassis configurations. For the production GT, the company is aiming for a range of up to 430 miles (692 km) and a power output of 956 hp (735 kW / 1,000 PS) in its most powerful variant.

      According to Glover, the team spent days driving the “greatest Jaguars of all time” for inspiration while refining the new EV's setup. Their intention was to create a car “you can drive confidently at speed for long periods and still feel great afterward.” Glover assures that the vehicle will embody “the very best of what a Jaguar should represent as a driving car.”

      Jaguar’s chief himself has pushed a prototype of the GT to 160 mph (258 km/h) at the brand’s Gaydon facility, describing it as the most enjoyable experience he's had since leading the company. “It was incredible in terms of speed, acceleration, and performance, but also how it delivered power with a genuine sense of character. The chassis team is really enthusiastic about the vehicle’s potential,” he said.

      After the introduction of the four-door GT in late 2025, Jaguar plans to broaden its lineup with two additional models, anticipated to be a luxury sedan and an SUV.

      Regarding the future lineup, Glover stated: “The GT’s purpose is to communicate: Jaguar is here and commands a price point above £100,000 ($130,000), reflecting the product concept and brand's capability. The other models serve different purposes to appeal to a slightly wider audience, greater volume, or other factors. Each will have distinct roles.”

      Differing from other manufacturers that have stepped back from their zero-emission targets, Glover emphasized that Jaguar will remain an all-electric brand: “We decided back in 2021 to develop an electric architecture solely for us. There's no room for a V8 or anything else. We are committed to being electric.”
