The Jaguar Type 00 is a recently-unveiled concept car from the manufacturer and its production version is expected to cost upwards of 100,000 pounds when it is made available to the public. The Saltburn actor proved the vehicle's tagline 'Command Attention' right as he showed off the car's extravagant blue chrome wrap.

The iconic car manufacturer recently underwent a full rebrand including a new logo, color palette, and brand strategy. Jaguar has now positioned itself as a luxury electric vehicle maker, planning to debut its first new production car later this year.

Jaguar's Type 00 criticised

When it was unveiled in December 2024, the Type 00 faced a wave of social media backlash with many mocking its unconventional look. The car's boxy and chunky design was compared to science fiction movie cars and its styling was also questioned. While the sleek look set it apart from its predecessors, the minimalistic looking vehicle offered a futuristic and unreal look with large wheels and slender lights.

Many also criticised the car company, which is a part of Tata Motors-owned group Jaguar Land Rover, for dropping the iconic Jaguar animal logo. However, the Jaguar car's stunning reveal at the Paris Fashion Week has proved that the conversation around it is far from over.
