Jaguar TCS Racing has officially unveiled its new GEN4 challenger, the Jaguar I-Type 08 ahead of the Madrid ePrix. The current Formula E Teams’ World Champions revealed the car at a special launch event in London, showcasing a rather visually-pleasing French Ultramarine Blue livery drawn from the Jaguar Type 01 GT.
That being said, Formula E’s GEN4 era introduces big performance leaps including permanent all-wheel drive and a top speed which goes past 335 kph. The car can go from 0 to 100 kph in approximately 1.8 seconds and 0 to 200 kph in 4.4 seconds. making it 1.5 seconds faster than its predecessor. In race mode, it delivers 50 percent more power than the current GEN3 Evo, reaches up to 600kW in ATTACK MODE, and averages 10 seconds faster per lap in qualifying.
Jaguar now enters the 2027 season with a driver line-up consisting of former Formula E champions António Félix da Costa and Stoffel Vandoorne. speaking on the car’s launch, da Costa comments:
It is an honour to launch Jaguar TCS Racing’s first car of the GEN4 era – the Jaguar I-Type 08. The look and feel of the race car is amazing and I cannot wait to push it to the limit on track. Developing a new car is always very exciting; you have to be creative and brave when seeking performance and it is up to us to bring it all together this season.
It is such an exciting time for Formula E as a championship, and I am grateful to be a part of it with Jaguar TCS Racing. Winning the Teams’ world title in my first season with the team was something I am extremely proud of in such a competitive championship, and all of us cannot wait to go again with the Jaguar I-Type 08.
