At a CC is Scottsdale 2022 recreated

 

TV made them look good on the outside and when it counted, but the real interior was a hot mess:

 

Monterey Car Week

Monterey Car Week


Just saw it in person at Monterey car week! Beautiful women, music, and food. They even had a XJ 220 and a E type on hand to show that they shall never forget ! Rumor has it that it might be a hybrid due to changes in POLITICS. Estimated at $100,000 and targeted for the young, cool and hip demographic. Only available in blue or pink so far.

 

Don't get the design of the 00 - to me it looks like a Sub-Zero refrigerator that got knocked on its side.

 

One designer's thoughts on the Type 00 concept.

I mostly agree, but don't think it's fair to call it a prototype, unless some of that does make to production. A "concept car" can be anything from outrageous and never intended for production to mostly-operational prototype. I'd call this the former and not the latter. It'd make a pretty wild donk though. Can't deny that.

 

If they make it in the coupe version for the production model I will get one for sure this car is a head turner its something different Im a big fan of this design.

I agree that the design has potential. I don’t think the price point is realistic. How many will pay $100K for it?
I wonder why Jaguar couldn’t have made a hybrid, starting with the F-Type. If they can stuff a V8 and an all wheel drivetrain into that beautiful bodywork, why not use the current 4-pot engine and add motors and batteries?
Call it the FE-Type. There would be something to put in the showrooms until the 00 is ready. My local JLR dealer is all Land Rovers and one or two used Jags out back. Sad.

 

The Type 00 is a concept car. It will never reach production. Some elements of it may but put in the production model. Time will tell.

 

Even the F-Type couldn't save Jaguar, so a hybrid version would just be throwing away more money. Here we are in the F-Type sub-forum, but it's SUV sales that are making the profit. It's not Jaguar's fault. I love my F-Type and am glad I ordered it just as soon as the 6MT was announced. It was the 6MT F-Type that got me into my first Jaguar, but how many sold? We're not keeping the Jaguar brand alive.

 

Apparently the first of the "new" Jaguars will be a 4-door car.
I think going all-electric is what might kill it in terms of sales success, apart from being way up-market compared to previous Jaguars. The EV and Net-Zero mania seems to have run it's course. Here in the UK, EVs mainly sell to company car drivers who save shedloads of income tax because EVs are favoured by the income tax regime for company cars.

 

I am just imagining an all-electric self-driving Jag.
no I don't feel like going there today, we will stop at the pub and golf course before your meeting not after.
