London, UK, 10 November 2026: A new era of electric racing begins for Jaguar as reigning Formula E Teams’ World Champions Jaguar TCS Racing unveil the I-Type 08 in Knightsbridge, London – the most advanced competition car the brand has ever created, built for the all-new GEN4 era of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
GEN4 represents the biggest performance leap in Formula E’s history. With up to 71% more power, 43% more battery capacity and permanent all-wheel drive, the Jaguar I-Type 08 is capable of accelerating from 0-100kph in 1.8 seconds – faster than a Formula 1 car – placing new physical and mental demands on drivers, where braking points separated by centimetres, not metres, will make the difference.
Through ten years in Formula E, Jaguar TCS Racing has already proven technology on-track that has directly enhanced development of the Type 01 – Jaguar’s all-new luxury four-door GT. Now the GEN4 era of Formula E unlocks manufacturer freedom to innovate more than ever before, creating opportunities for Jaguar’s development of continuous technology updates for Type 01 and innovations for its future road cars.
The reveal also marks a new chapter for the team, with Stoffel Vandoorne confirmed as its latest signing, bringing fresh momentum to Jaguar TCS Racing’s preparations for the GEN4 era.
