The Future of Jaguar: Introducing the Type 00
With a name that pays homage to the iconic ‘Type’ lineage of Jaguars, the Type 00 is a glimpse into the future of the luxury car manufacturer. This two-door concept car, built on a shortened wheelbase, hints at what we can expect from upcoming Jaguar saloons.
Designed with the classic Jaguar aesthetics in mind, the Type 00 features a sleek, low-slung body with a long wheelbase and an elongated bonnet. The forward-hinged dihedral doors add a touch of elegance to the overall design, while the absence of a rear window in favor of twin side cameras and a digital rear-view mirror modernizes the vehicle.
According to Jaguar, the Type 00 boasts bold, confident lines that emphasize its opulent proportions. The minimalist surfaces, with subtle compound curves, exude sophistication and restraint, reflecting the high price point of the car at £120,000.
The glasshouse of the Type 00 emphasizes its low profile, with a high waist and a flat roof that gives it a unique silhouette reminiscent of the classic XJS model. The overall design aims to blend boldness with refinement, a balance that Jaguar has mastered over the years.
As Jaguar continues to push boundaries and redefine luxury in the automotive industry, the Type 00 serves as a testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and timeless design.
