The car won’t actually be produced since concept vehicles are used to gauge customer interest in a design.

Jaguar’s Chief Creative Officer Gerry McGovern said Type 00 is what the company means with its newly branded “Copy Nothing” mantra.

“Type 00 is the first manifestation of the new Jaguar brand,” McGovern said. “This is a taste of things to come.”

The concept car is getting a lot of reaction online with one person on X posting, “Copy nothing, I.E. Upsize a 2008 Chrysler Crossfire and make it a Mary Kay cosmetics sales prize.”

Not everyone dislikes it though. One person on Reddit said, “Haters gonna hate, but it’s truly a work of art.”

The concept car comes after the British manufacturer launched a new look last month with some critics calling the company “woke.” Others questioned why the promotional video didn’t feature any cars.

The rebrand includes a redesign of its pouncing cat logo and a new monogram.

Jaguar is preparing to relaunch as an electric-only automaker in 2026.
