Let’s take a moment to appreciate something gloriously over-the-top — a car so wild, so futuristic, and so absolutely detached from the mundane world of parking spaces and potholes, that it might just qualify for interstellar travel.
Meet the Jaguar Type 00 Concept — a design study that asks, “What if James Bond needed a spaceship?” No, it wasn’t built. No, it didn’t drive. But yes, it did blow minds.
Born for the Stars, Not the Streets
The Type 00 came from the mind of Junho Lee, a designer who clearly spent more time staring at the stars than at traffic reports. His vision? A car that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi film — and not just any sci-fi film, but the epic space-opera kind, where spaceships don’t just fly, they strut.
Lee developed the concept as a design project while at the Royal College of Art, which is basically Hogwarts for car designers. And he wasn't messing around. The Type 00 is long, low, and razor-sharp. It looks like it could outrun a black hole or at least win the valet’s attention at any galactic gala.
Stealth Bomber Meets Jaguar
Imagine if a Jaguar F-Type merged with a stealth bomber and had a rebellious teenage phase — that’s the Type 00. Its aggressive wedge shape, the hovering cockpit, and a rear so sharp it could slice time itself, all scream “the future is now” (or at least, “the future was a cool design class in 2019”).
It doesn’t have doors. It doesn’t have mirrors. It probably doesn’t even have turn signals. Why would it? Turning is for Earthlings.
Form Over Function — And We’re Not Even Mad
Let’s be real: the Type 00 was never meant to cruise through a Starbucks drive-thru. It was meant to explore pure design philosophy, untethered from boring things like “windshield wipers” or “realistic budgets.” This is the kind of concept car that reminds us why we love concept cars. They’re not about practicality. They’re about pushing boundaries, flexing creative muscles, and making you whisper, “Why don’t all cars look like this?”
Jaguar Might Never Build It — But We’re Glad It Exists
Will you ever see a Type 00 on the road? Probably not — unless the road is on Mars and Jaguar suddenly decides to open a dealership there. But that’s not the point. The point is, the Type 00 dares to imagine a future where style is limitless, curves are aerodynamic poetry, and your daily commute includes dodging asteroids. So here’s to the Jaguar Type 00 — the spaceship we didn’t know we needed, designed for a galaxy that hasn’t been mapped yet.
