Everything to know about Jaguar's Type 00 concept car

Jaguar first unveiled its Type 00 concept car in December 2024, following the company's rebranding announcement. Unlike the ultramarine blue body of the car seen during Paris Fashion Week, the initial shade in which the car was revealed was hot pink, and embodied the brand's new philosophy of "exuberant modernism."

The Type 00 is a two-door car concept, and its prototype featured a lower bodywork in silver shade, and alloy wheels— which remain the same in the car spotted in Paris. The concept car's exterior features an angular and boxy front end with a fastback rear.

Talking about the Type 00, Gerry McGovern, the chief creative officer of the sports and luxury car brand said:

"Type 00 is a pure expression of Jaguar's new creative philosophy. It has an unmistakeable presence. This is the result of brave, unconstrained creative thinking, and unwavering determination."

McGovern added:

"It is our first physical manifestation and the foundation stone for a new family of Jaguars that will look unlike anything you've ever seen. A vision which strives for the highest level of artistic endeavour."

As for the interior, the concept car features three materials: wool-blend woven textiles from Kvadrat, travertine stone, and brass. Moreover, the brand's iconic logo featuring a leaping jaguar has been shifted from the front of the vehicle to the side, and comprises a new wordmark.


Jaguar's Instagram post featuring the Type 00 concept car mentioned that it is a non-production vehicle. Additionally, the sports and luxury car brand is set to launch a four-door GT, which will feature some of Type 00's aspects.
