Jaguar appears to have lost its mind. Conflicting stories about whether this is a concept or their next release.

    This actually has style (whether or not you like that style is a different conversation). It doesn’t look like a stainless steel dumpster. The body panels have subtle curves. Not cybertruck enough to warrant the comparison - and that’s a good thing.

      The body panels have subtle curves.

      So does the Cybertruck, actually, they’re just… even more subtle. Curved surfaces are stronger and less prone to deforming than flat surfaces.

    That’s Lady Penelope’s FAB-1! Is there a new remake of Thunderbirds coming out?

    Kind of dig the batmobile-like profile. Doesn’t seem like it’s too out of the ordinary if it’s a concept car. Also nowhere near as hideous as a cybertruck either (seriously, have you seen those irl?)

      Maybe some slight modifications to a few corners and make it satin black and I definitely see where you’re coming from

    This is a nonsense burger of an article.

    These are just concept car images, and the articel pretty much says that Jaguar are not going to make it.

    These images are allegedly of the Jaguar Design Vision Concept – which means this car will never make it into production. It’s just a concept automobile designed to demonstrate what Jaguar’s ‘vision’ for its future cars are.

    Guys, I like it. I like the one in Cyberpunk 2077 that looked like this too, it reminded me of 80’s futurism design in tape decks and such.

      Imagine having to plug that mf in 3x the wrong way every night when you want to charge it…

    Ok hear me out. The most iconic part of a car is the grille.

    The single biggest mistake ev makers make is ignoring this fact and trying to delete the grille.

    Teslas look like they are mere toys because of this fact. If you want to have a sick car, start with the grille.

    The one thing they did right here is the grille and the headlights they’re not great but at least they’re something. I don’t think it looks bad, but it doesn’t scream jag in the least.

      But if a car doesn’t need a grille, why add it?

      BTW, thanks for teaching me I should be adding an e when referring to car grilles

      To make something somehow uglier than the Cybertruck is… I don’t have the words. Help me?
