  • The Jaguar boss has given away a few details about 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 vivid contrast to the flashy Miami Pink and much lighter 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 highlighted in videos, the Jaguar Type 00 was carefully driven on public roads, before parking in front of a venue at the Paris Fashion Week. The butterfly doors opened slowly, and Irish actor Barry Keoghan stepped out of the passenger seat, grabbing his jacked from the futuristic boot.

The presence of a celebrity ensured that the concept would get even more exposure at the event, which was held on Sunday, March 9. Later on, the actor posed for a few more photos on the driver’s seat, highlighting the light-colored two-seater cabin.

A few days before the European debut of the concept, Jaguar’s Managing Director, Rawdon Glover, spoke with Autocar about the first production model of the brand’s new era.

} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751”);
}
});

Glover has confirmed that the upcoming four-door GT will retain the radical styling of the concept. Jaguar designers and engineers worked in harmony to ensure that the EV’s shape doesn’t compromise safety, performance, and aerodynamics. For the production model, the company targets 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 the Jaguar boss, the team spent days driving the “greatest Jaguars of all time”, in order to be inspired about the setup of the new EV. The ultimate goal is to make cars “you can drive confidently at pace for extended periods and still come out feeling great”.

Glover claims he has driven a prototype of the GT at speeds of up to 160 mph (258 km/h) at the Gaydon facilities, describing his experience as the most fun he had in his time as the head of Jaguar: “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.”
