Jaguar unveiled its new Type 00 concept car for the first time on Friday morning at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The car will never go on sale in its existing form.
Instead, it is a concept car exhibited to showcase Jaguar’s new “exuberant modernism.”
The car stunned Goodwood’s guests with its spotless, striking blue exterior which drew large crowds from across the festival.
The colour was a significant departure from the pink colour dressing the 00 when it was first announced late last year.
When the 30-second ad was first unveiled, flashing up a number of slogans, including “live vivid”, “delete ordinary” and “copy nothing”, fans onsocial mediawere not happy.
One fan even said the new ad campaign had led him to sell his F-Pace.
Others did enjoy some of the features of the new car, saying they thought it was cool and futuristic.
In November, the controversial ad excluded any images of its sleek sports cars as it touted its transition to a fully electric, ultra-luxury company.
The scrapping of the well-known big cat badge in favour of a geometric ‘J’ design also drew fierce criticism.
At the time of release, one Facebook user commented: “If I wasn’t sure before, now I’m convinced Jaguar have completely lost the plot. This woke nonsense won’t gain anything.”
Another said: “As someone who worked for this iconic brand up until production cessation in June it really does sadden me to see the direction the company has decided to take.”

PHONE shops in high risk areas have been forced to lock their doors to customers after a spate of armed robberies by organised crime gangs.

Instead of just walking into the shops, customers now have to knock on the door and be let in by a security guard.
The Sun found staff at the shop in St Albans on Friday were operating a one in one out system, only allowing up to three members of the public in at a time.
According to a source, they were forced to bring in these measures after two terrifying robberies which left staff members fearing for their lives.
They said: “At the end of February we had an attempted robbery. Three guys came in and tried to force their way into the store room.
“I saw them, all with their faces covered, out of the corner of my eye and I thought I was done for.
“We suspected they had a weapon and they were trying to force staff back there to open the door – the police came that time and they didn’t manage to take anything.
“A few months before in October the shop was actually robbed, they took thousands of pounds worth of phones.
“There were two customers in the shop at the time, and because of the threats and the suspected weapon it was decided that the door would be locked.
“No one should come into work and be scared they’re going to be stabbed over a phone – no one wants to lose their life over just a phone.
“It has affected trade a little, but you know now all the people coming in have the intention to buy and it makes staff feel safer while helping them so I think it’s worth it.”
In May, the O2 shop in Richmond was targeted by two armed men, with one swiftly arrested by police.
Just a few months before in February, the same shop was raided by armed thieves who forced staff into the store room and made off with a number of mobiles.
An O2 spokesperson said: “In response to a growing number of thefts at stores in certain areas, we have introduced a ‘locked door’ policy at a small proportion of our stores, including in St Albans.
“These stores remain fully open for our customers, and the only difference they will experience is that instead of opening the door themselves, it will be opened for them by a security guard.
“This decision has been taken to prioritise the safety of both our employees and our customers, as well as the security of our stock.
“We are working closely with law enforcement, and with other providers who are facing similar issues, to tackle this problem.”

POLICE are to get anti-drone tech to combat airborne crime — including devices that look like rifles.
The £15million kit will be deployed against terrorists and organised gangsters.
It will also be used to stop drugs being flown into jails.
Home Office chiefs have approved three separate £5million deals to buy gun-like radio jammers which disable drones and also help identify their criminal controllers.
The devices can be either hand-held, like a pistol or rifle, mounted on a vehicle or used in a fixed position.
Details are revealed in contracts which show the Home Office wants “the next generation of hand-held radio frequency effector technology” for police to counter drones.
The firms awarded contracts — each lasting until June 2027 — are Steelrock Technologies, CPM Ellettronica and Kirintec.
Steelrock said “every hostile drone incursion puts people and critical assets at risk” while Kirintec said it supplies “counter uncrewed aerial systems for air defence and denial”.
Images from the companies show the technology being used in urban centres and dense woodland.
The devices will be run by the National Police Chiefs’ Council, which co-ordinates action of counter-terrorism, fighting organised crime, public order and frontline policing.
Experts are increasingly concerned about the threat of drones from terrorists and spies.
