Jaguar Reveals the Stunning Type 00 Concept, a Bold Step Into the Future 2:53 PM Friday, December 6, 2024 Jaguar is returning to its roots with a fresh take on its original philosophy, “Copy Nothing.” Following the launch of its striking new visual identity last month, the brand has unveiled the Type 00 Design Vision Concept, a car that embodies the spirit of Jaguar like never before. The Type 00 is more than just a concept—it’s a statement. With its bold lines, dramatic proportions, and undeniable presence, it points to the exciting future of Jaguar’s design. Every detail reflects the brand’s dynamic new identity, while nods to its proud heritage remind us where it all began. This journey took centre stage at Miami Art Week, where Jaguar made a global splash, reaffirming its commitment to creativity and celebrating British artistry on an international platform. Built on Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA), the Type 00 combines performance with innovation. With a range of up to 770 km (478 miles) WLTP and 692 km (430 miles) EPA, it’s built for adventure. Plus, a quick 15-minute charge gives you an extra 321 km (200 miles) of range, making it as practical as it is inspiring. www.jaguar.com
