I like it–a lot, actually. I'm eager to see how much of the concept makes it to production.
And, really, Jaguar needs to do something drastic. That 89-year history was doing little to help it sell cars.

Jaguar revealed its latest “physical manifestation” of its new design philosophy, Type 00. They titled the press release, “Unmistakable. Unexpected. Dramatic.” Well, perhaps that’s a good description.
You certainly cannot mistake it for a E-type. It’s nothing like its most recent F-type. And, it is a dramatic departure from anything Jaguar has produced in its 89-year history.
The looks of the Type 00 seems targeted against another storied British marque putting out luxury EVs, Rolls-Royce.
Jaguar plans to reveal its first new-generation production car, a four-door GT, in late 2025. It remains to be seen how much of Type 00 you will see in the roadgoing model, but it seems like Jaguar is starting with a clean sheet of paper for its latest line of vehicles.
What are your thoughts on Type 00? Would you add something like it to your collection?

Shouldn't the radiator grille be in the front?
In reply to ninostr6 :
On an EV, you really don't need a grille for any cooling, unless you're doing some heavy-duty performance. So, I guess you can put it anywhere ... or nowhere.
Here's more info on the rear design from Jaguar:
"The rear continues the bold statement. A glassless tailgate and panoramic body‑harmonized glazed roof create a sense of sculpture. The rear elevation is defined by distinctive horizontal Strikethrough graphics, which hide dramatic full‑width taillights and emphasise the power and scale of Type 00."
