Jaguar appears to have lost its mind. Conflicting stories about whether this is a concept or their next release.

This actually has style (whether or not you like that style is a different conversation). It doesn’t look like a stainless steel dumpster. The body panels have subtle curves. Not cybertruck enough to warrant the comparison - and that’s a good thing.

The body panels have subtle curves.

So does the Cybertruck, actually, they're just... even more subtle. Curved surfaces are stronger and less prone to deforming than flat surfaces.

Kind of dig the batmobile-like profile. Doesn't seem like it's too out of the ordinary if it's a concept car. Also nowhere near as hideous as a cybertruck either (seriously, have you seen those irl?)

Maybe some slight modifications to a few corners and make it satin black and I definitely see where you're coming from

Are those giant usb ports under the front bumper used for charging the car?

[–] Dkarma 3 points 1 month ago

Imagine having to plug that mf in 3x the wrong way every night when you want to charge it...

How very 80's New Wave Synth-Pop.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Guys, I like it. I like the one in Cyberpunk 2077 that looked like this too, it reminded me of 80's futurism design in tape decks and such.

I'm pretty sure it's legal to burn anything this horrible if you see it in public

This is a nonsense burger of an article.

These are just concept car images, and the articel pretty much says that Jaguar are not going to make it.

These images are allegedly of the Jaguar Design Vision Concept – which means this car will never make it into production. It’s just a concept automobile designed to demonstrate what Jaguar’s ‘vision’ for its future cars are.

As I said, conflicting reports

Jaguar's boss says 'we want to be bold and disruptive' as its new electric car, which is expected to cost more than £100,000 when the production version hits the market, was unveiled at an event in Miami.

That car in the thumbnail will never pass EU regulations on front crumple zones. The wheels are too far in the front.

US might allow it tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Hilarious since Jaguar was originally a British company

Ok hear me out. The most iconic part of a car is the grille.

The single biggest mistake ev makers make is ignoring this fact and trying to delete the grille.

Teslas look like they are mere toys because of this fact. If you want to have a sick car, start with the grille.

The one thing they did right here is the grille and the headlights they're not great but at least they're something. I don't think it looks bad, but it doesn't scream jag in the least.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

But if a car doesn't need a grille, why add it?

BTW, thanks for teaching me I should be adding an e when referring to car grilles

Also the rear. Lamborghini Countach w/spoiler fin.

[–] ericjmorey 5 points 1 month ago

Good luck with that, Jaguar.

That's Lady Penelope's FAB-1! Is there a new remake of Thunderbirds coming out?

[–] jordanlund 4 points 4 weeks ago

Looks like the 1992 Animated Batmobile, but not as cool.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

I gotta say it really just looks like an uglier version of Renaults Trezor concept car.

That is the most hideous thing I have seen and I include the cyber truck!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

To make something somehow uglier than the Cybertruck is… I don't have the words. Help me?
