THE future of Jaguar has been revealed as the British auto maker took the wraps off its GT concept car in Miami.

With an enormous bonnet, bright paint jobs and no rear window among its features, the concept comes in the wake of Jaguar rebranding and the suspension of sales in Britain as it relaunches as an all-electric luxury car brand in 2026.

The concept - which Jaguar says is purely a design study and not for production - also has a minimalist interior with almost no switches.

It was revealed at the beginning of the Miami Art Week following a teaser campaign to show its new direction.

Codenamed the Type 00, the concept was shown in vibrant pink and blue paint finishes - the former reflecting the iconic Art Deco surroundings of its reveal, the latter its British heritage.

Jaguar says the glassless rear tailgate and panoramic roof with bodyâharmonised glazing create a sense of sculpture.

The brand added that the presence of Jaguar at Miami Art Week emphasises its purpose as an advocate for art, in a celebration of British artists and creativity

Jaguar's first reimagined production car will be an electric fourâdoor GT - to be revealed in late 2025 and built in the UK. It is likely the car will have a price north of £100,000.

The new model will use dedicated Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA) and target a range of up to 478 miles and adding 200 miles of charge in as little as 15 minutes.

"The magic of Jaguar is close to my heart - an original British luxury brand unmatched in its heritage, artistry and emotional magnetism. That's the Jaguar we are recapturing and we will create the same sense of awe that surrounded iconic models like the Eâtype. Our journey is already underway, guided by our original ethos to Copy Nothing - and the results will be spectacular," said Jaguar's chief executive Adrian Mardell.

The cabin features three handâfinished brass lines which run the length of the interior, with a central 3.2mâlong brass spine that splits a pair of floating instrument panels.

The ‘Type' prefix is a link to the brand's provenance, to models like the pioneering EâtypeThe first zero references zero tailpipe emissions. The second represents its status as car zero in our new lineage.

The concept's visionary design defies electric vehicle convention with a long bonnet, sweeping roofline, 23âinch alloy wheels, fastback profile and boatâtail to create a dramatic silhouette with sophisticated, modernist surfaces.
