- Jaguar showcased the Type 00 Concept at Paris Fashion Week.
- The EV was driven on public roads, sporting a new blue color.
- Meanwhile, Jaguar’s chief shared fresh details on the upcoming GT.
Jaguar’s polarizing Type 00 Concept made an unexpected appearance on the streets of Paris, drawing attention with a fresh new color and driving under its own power for the first time. Meanwhile, Jaguar’s Managing Director, Rawdon Glover, has revealed new details about the brand’s upcoming fully electric four-door GT, set to launch in late 2025.
The two-door concept appeared in a new color called French Ultramarine, offering a stark contrast to the flashy Miami Pink and softer London Blue hues seen previously. The prototype retained its silver-accented lower bodywork and the same alloy wheels, preserving the dramatic aesthetic that has fueled debate since its reveal.

As seen in the videos, the Jaguar Type 00 was carefully driven through public streets before coming to a stop outside a Paris Fashion Week venue. The butterfly doors lifted slowly, and Irish actor Barry Keoghan stepped out of the passenger seat, grabbing his jacket from the futuristic trunk.
Keoghan’s presence all but guaranteed extra media attention for Jaguar, as he later posed for additional photos in the driver’s seat, highlighting the light-colored two-seater interior. The event took place on Sunday, March 9.
What’s Next? Jaguar’s Electric GT
Just days before the Type 00’s Paris appearance, Jaguar’s Managing Director, Rawdon Glover, shared new insights with Autocar about the company’s first production model of its electric reinvention, which will translate the Type 00’s design into a super-luxurious four-door sedan.
Glover confirmed that the upcoming four-door GT will retain the concept’s radical styling. He said that Jaguar designers and engineers worked together to ensure that the EV’s shape does not compromise safety, performance, or aerodynamics. Recent spy shots suggest that the production EV will have a long hood, slim LEDs, a sporty roofline, and a wide stance.

For the interior, Glover said that Jaguar focused more on the “design, craftsmanship and engineering, and how things drive, rather than pure tech”, leaving the latter for Chinese rivals. The goal is to create “an amazing place to be in”, with the technology being “there when you need it”.
All future Jaguar models will ride on the new Jaguar Electric Architecture, which is exclusively designed for EVs. Electric motors and battery packs will be shared with other JLR products, but they will be combined with unique design and chassis setup. For the production GT, the company is targeting a range of up to 430 miles (692 km) and an output of 956 hp (735 kW / 1,000 PS) in its most powerful form.
According to Glover, the team spent days behind the wheel of the “greatest Jaguars of all time”, looking for inspiration in fine-tuning the new EV’s setup. Their goal was to create a car “you can drive confidently at pace for extended periods and still come out feeling great”. The big boss promises that the resulting vehicle “brings all of the very best of what a Jaguar should be as a driving car.”
Jaguar’s boss himself has taken a prototype of the GT up to 160 mph (258 km/h) at the brand’s Gaydon facility, calling it the most fun he’s had since taking the helm of the company. “It was stunning in terms of its speed, its acceleration, its performance, but also how it delivered the power with a real sense of character. The chassis team are really excited about the possibilities of the vehicle.”
Following the debut of the four-door GT in late 2025, Jaguar will expand its range with two more models, which are expected to be a luxury sedan and an SUV.
Speaking about the future lineup, Glover said: “The GT’s job is to say: Jaguar is here and can command a price point in excess of £100,000 (130,000), because the product concept and the brand is capable of doing that. The other vehicles do different things in terms of accessing a slightly broader audience, slightly greater volume, or whatever else. They have different roles.”
Unlike other automakers that have backtracked from their zero-emission goals, Glover made it clear that Jaguar will remain an EV-only brand: “We made the decision back in 2021 to have an electric architecture dedicated to us. There isn’t the opportunity to put a V8 into it or something else. We’re committed to being electric.”
