The Type 00 features a long hood and a fastback roofline, showcasing a sharp, "strikethrough" design motif. Drawing from Jaguar icons like the E-type, its hard-edged form stands in stark contrast to past curves. The car's front has a blunt, upright stance with a rectangular "strikethrough" grille flanked by sleek, singular line LED headlights, giving it an assertive, robotic appearance.
Of note are the small brass "ingot" trims that reveal rear-facing cameras, replacing traditional side mirrors. The Type 00 also sports massive 23-inch ornate wheels, enhancing its commanding presence. Its stark rear has no window, and the taillights are hidden behind a strikethrough panel. The roof's panoramic glass features a glazed strikethrough finish.
Jaguar prefers subtle badging; a new font graces the front grille, with small logos appearing discreetly. This minimalist approach complements the vehicle's bold design language, ensuring it's easily recognizable as a Jaguar.
Inside, dramatic butterfly doors reveal a cabin that blends architectural influences. Brass bars extend the length of the interior, and the untreated brass components develop a natural patina over time. The dashboard continues the line motif, with technology subtly integrated. Screens can be stowed for a "digital detox," leaving a narrow display for essential information.
Travertine stone supports the seats, echoing Renaissance inspirations, while wool-textured seats redefine luxury beyond leather. A unique steering wheel design emphasizes the bespoke elements within.
Exclusive to the Type 00 are "totems"—brass, travertine, and alabaster artifacts that personalize the driving experience with ambient lighting, scents, and soundscapes. Jaguar hints at offering personalized totems for consumers, although production plans remain unconfirmed.
Two Type 00 models commemorate the dual E-type reveal of 1961. "Miami Pink" and "London Blue" finishes capture local aesthetics, underscoring Jaguar's global vision.
While the Type 00 is a design concept without a specified powertrain, it's based on the upcoming JEA platform for a 2026 model. Promising an electrifying driving experience with a 430-mile range for its future vehicle, Jaguar signals a new era.
Through the Type 00 concept, Jaguar unveils its bold design trajectory, blending past inspirations with modern aesthetics. Though purely conceptual, it sets the stage for Jaguar's electric future, highlighting sleek design and opulent details.
