Jaguar conducted a complete brand overhaul to transform from a more traditional car maker to one that aims to offer all-electric luxury vehicles. After it launched its logo redesign last month, we got a quick look at its first concept car under the brand's new "Copy nothing" tagline.

Jaguar debuted the Type 00 concept at Miami Art Week. The automaker describes it as "an example of Jaguar at its best. A fearless statement. An object of desire," and it's designed to encapsulate a new "creative philosophy [of] Exuberant Modernism."

Review: 2017 Jaguar F-Pace

The 2017 Jaguar F-Pace is highly anticipated release – bringing Jaguar to the SUV market. At first glance, the design is quite sleek with the front end distinctly Jaguar. Performance-wise, it had no problem accelerating to our desired speed. Nothing’s more irritating than an underpowered vehicle for me. Let’s take a closer look at the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace.

Introducing Jaguar’s fastest production car yet

The Jaguar F-Type isn’t a new sports car but it now has a special version that’s touted as the fastest production car the company has introduced—the Jaguar F-Type SVR. It’s also the first Jaguar car to carry the SVR badge, which is named after the Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations group (the team behind the project). It’s powered by a 5-liter V8 engine that produces 575 horsepower. It has improved aerodynamics, an even more badass-sounding exhaust system, new suspension, and other options like a carbon fiber roof panel and carbon ceramic brakes to make it run just a bit faster.

How fast is it at the moment? It reaches a top speed of 200mph for the coupe and 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds. It’s priced around US$126,000 (around $174,000) and it’s up for order in the U.S. already with deliveries expected at the beginning of the summer.

FIA Formula E now also has Jaguar in its roster

Jaguar is the latest carmaker to join FIA Formula E Championship starting the fall of next year. For the uninitiated, Formula E is the first global single-seater championship for electric-powered cars. The Jaguar Formula E team partnered with Williams Advanced Engineering to develop the two cars they’ll enter into the third season of the series. Jaguar hasn’t announced yet who will be driving their two cars.

Originally, Formula E series started out with 10 teams driving the same car called the Spark-Renault SRT. In the second season and those coming after it, the series changed to open class to let the teams field their own cars. The only similarity they will have is the chassis and battery. The season starts in October 2016 and will end in July 2017 with 11 races that will happen in 10 cities starting in Beijing and ending with two rounds in London.
