Jaguar unveil I-Type 08 for Formula E Gen4 era

Jaguar has revealed the I-Type 08, the car with which the reigning Formula E teams' world champions will contest the new Gen4 era of the championship. The car was shown publicly at Knightsbridge in London and is described by the squad as the most advanced competition car it has produced.

Jaguar will also start 2027 with a new driver line-up, pairing António Félix da Costa with Stoffel Vandoorne, who replaces Mitch Evans after he joined Opel. Both are former drivers' world champions, with da Costa taking the Season 6 title in 2020 and Vandoorne the Season 8 crown in 2022. Between them they have 18 wins, 31 further podiums and 16 pole positions.

The car carries a predominantly blue colour scheme, based on the French Ultramarine Blue used on the Type 01, with the Jaguar leaper set on the strikethrough graphic. Team principal Ian James acknowledged there are many unknowns with the all-new ruleset, but said the driver pairing gives the team optimism for the season ahead.
