Exclusive photos reveal Jaguar Type 00 concept car at Miami art week

Photos taken by Dezeen show the Jaguar electric concept car Type 00, unveiled during the Copy Nothing Reveal event at Miami art week.

Unveiled yesterday to mixed review, the car is on show in two colours – Miami Pink and London Blue.

Captured by Dezeen co-CEO Wai Shin Li, the photos show the car as it was presented to an audience in Miami.

The car, which Jaguar says will embody its new creative philosophy of "exuberant modernism", has a boxy and angular front and a sweeping fastback rear.

At the Miami art week event, the car's butterfly doors were opened to showcase the interior of the Type 00, which features brass, travertine stone and wool-blend woven textiles from Danish brand Kvadrat.

It also features hidden technologies including a live display replacing the rearview mirror, screens that glide across the dashboard and powered stowage areas that slide open on demand.

The car has faced mixed reception, with British journalist Alexander Larman calling the concept cars "ugly, clunky behemoths".

However, many of those who saw the Type 00 in person in Miami were more positive, with Forbs's James Morris calling it "stunning".

"The car actually unveiled in Miami has slightly smoother lines, and the side profile is gobsmacking," he said.

Dezeen readers were divided on the car's design, with commenter Clean D saying: "There will be buyers lining up purely because of the Instagram appeal to passers-by on the street".

Eric Schneider, meanwhile, said: "This is just awful. The design looks like someone asked AI to illustrate the Chrysler 300 of the future. No surface development, horrible proportions and all of the current EV design cliches. As bad as the Cybertruck."

The concept car follows the reveal of Jaguar's updated logo in November, which forms part of the company's rebrand to mark its move into electric-only cars.

German car brand Audi also recently unveiled an updated logo, switching its four-ring logo for an all-caps AUDI wordmark for its new Chinese EV brand.

Miami art week takes place from 2 to 8 December in Miami, US. See Dezeen Events Guide for an up-to-date list of architecture and design events taking place around the world.
