2027 Jaguar EV Type 00 Spied Near Nurburgring
The latest car news, reviews, and features.
The next era of Jaguar is currently being developed before our eyes.
The first of three EVs expected to debut later in 2025 has been spied prowling the public streets surrounding the Nurburgring in Germany. The EV is a large grand tourer and will be the production variant of the Type 00 concept car shown in 2024.
Despite the heavy camouflage, the electric prototype for the production car clearly resembles the Type 00 concept's design. Unrealistic elements from the concept such as the slit-like lighting appears to be replaced by functional production-intent units.
The mile-long hood will make it to production despite the lack of a gas-powered engine. Jaguar's toned down the rear end a bit while making the leap from concept to reality with a more tapered, practical, set of lines. It's unclear at this point whether the production car will have a glass rear window or forego that practical piece of visibility in the name of design like the concept car. A large charging port door can be seen on the driver-side front fender.
Despite the concept having two doors, the production car will be a four-door with frameless windows. Expect seating for four adults, though the back seat may skimp on legroom compared to a Bentley Flying Spur.
Yes, Bentley Flying Spur, and Rolls-Royce Ghost. Those will be the competition when the production iteration of the Type 00 arrives. Jaguar's rebrand is intended to move the iconic automaker upmarket into a low-volume, high margin status symbol brand. The previous business plan of volume with the XE and E-Pace sedan and crossovers, which were meant to chase after BMW 3-Series and X3 sales, will be a distant memory.
The rebranding has not gone without missteps. The outsourced situation led to reported infighting within the automaker.
The Type 00 will ride on a new platform dubbed Jaguar Electric Architecture (JEA). Little is known about the platform outside of the ability to have up to 1,000 horsepower and up to 430 miles of driving range with up to 23-inch wheels. Jaguar has claimed the electrical architecture will be capable of adding up to 200 miles of range in 15 minutes when hooked to a DC fast charger.
Expect the production version of the Type 00 to go on sale in 2026 and cost more than $150,000. An SUV and sedan variant are expected to arrive shortly after.

Start buying shares for £500? Here's how – and some reasons why!
One myth about the stock market is that it takes a lot of money for someone to start buying shares. In fact, it is possible to do so with just a few hundred pounds. I actually think there are good reasons to consider doing so. One is that it means someone can be in the market sooner, rather than waiting years or perhaps even decades before they have saved up a large tum to get going. From the perspective of a long-term investor, a longer timeframe can offer a potentially sizeable advantage. Most people make some beginner's mistakes in the market, realistically – and starting on a small scale can also mean that they are less costly. The 'why' may now be clearer – but what about the 'how'? To start buying shares requires a practical means of doing so. So a new investor should consider how to put the £500 into the market. There are lots of options when it comes to share-dealing accounts, Stocks and Shares ISAs, and trading apps. Each investor has their own circumstances and so it pays to make a considered choice. Learning how the stock market works in detail can take years. But upfront an investor ought at least to come to grips with important concepts, from valuing shares to managing risks. For example, even with £500 it is possible to diversify across different shares. There is a difference between a good business and a good investment, so just putting money into successful businesses is not necessarily a smart way to invest. That helps explain why I do not own shares like Apple or Nvidia at the moment. I regard both as solid businesses, but do not think their current share prices offer me a compelling investment opportunity. What sorts of shares do I think someone should consider when they want to start investing, then? One mistake many people make is being too greedy. I understand – people start buying shares because they want to build wealth. But, in the stock market as elsewhere in life, opportunities that look too good to be true usually are. Starting with a well-known, proven business at a decent price could be attractive. That is why I think new investors should consider baker Greggs (LSE: GRG). The business is easy to understand – indeed, many of us are quite familiar with it from shopping there. Greggs has a proven business model and it already benefits from economies of scale that I think could grow if it expands its footprint. There are lots of opportunities to do that, as the company itself has recognized. Customer demand is high and resilient. While the industry is not glamorous, Greggs makes money thanks to its strong brand, huge shop network, and unique twists on well-known products. But investors have been worrying about profitability, with risks like a weak economy hurting sales and higher employment costs eating into profits. The result is that it is 31% cheaper to buy a Greggs share today than it was a year ago. I see that as an opportunity. Indeed, I started buying Greggs shares for my portfolio in recent months. A 3.6% dividend yield is the icing on the cake. The post Start buying shares for £500? Here's how – and some reasons why! appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

Tesla fires longtime insider as Europe slump deepens
Tesla fires longtime insider as Europe slump deepens originally appeared on TheStreet. It's safe to say all the chatter about robots, AI, and Musk's President Trump drama has masked Tesla's () core: an electric vehicle company that's now stumbling big time. Over the past few years, most earnings calls have hyped AI, robotaxis, and what Tesla could be. 💵💰💰💵 What it actually is, though, is a lagging AI player that continues to see a steep drop in vehicle sales. Mr. Market hasn't taken those declining sales reports kindly, either, with Tesla stock down more than 20% year to date. Moreover, the drama's now spilled over, with recent C-suite shakeups hinting that things are blowing up behind the scenes. Tesla and its unpredictable CEO, Elon Musk, have always landed in hot water, but the past few months have been uniquely messy. Early in 2025, Musk found himself in an unlikely alliance with the Trump administration as a special advisor. The move prompted backlash from progressive shoppers and lawmakers in no time, with massive 'Tesla Takedown' protests hitting showrooms in major U.S. cities and media chatter had buyers holding off vehicle purchases, and some states even started looking into unfair labor claims. With Tesla taking the hits, Musk told Reuters in April that he'd cut his Trump gig to just a day or two a week. Then in late May, after an ugly fallout with President Trump, he ditched the role entirely, promising to get back to Tesla's core business. The PR mess bruised Tesla's equity and precipitated some of its worst sales drops ever. Particularly in Europe, Tesla's foothold has been visibly slipping. Registrations have tanked by more than 40% early in the year and then by nearly 30% in the spring. In contrast, the broader European EV market expanded at an encouraging pace. By mid-2025, Tesla's share there had fallen to under 1% — a steep drop from the 1.6% it held a year earlier. More Tech Stock News: Circle's stock price surges after stunning CEO comment Robotaxi rivalry heats up as new cities come online Analyst reboots AMD stock price target on chip update Amid this decline, Chinese EV brands like BYD and SAIC's MG charged ahead with aggressive pricing and wider model options. In North America, Tesla's deliveries held up better, but Musk's public profile cooled off a lot of that enthusiasm. Meanwhile, the Tesla robotaxi trials started last week in Austin, attracting mixed reviews so far. Early influencer videos showed jerky braking and lane slip-ups, catching the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's eye. On the flip side, longtime Tesla bull Dan Ives still isn't rattled and remains bullish. Tesla has reportedly fired Omead Afshar, its head of North American and European operations, following a massive drop in European EV deliveries, according to Forbes. Afshar is a veteran Tesla engineer and has climbed the ranks since joining in 2011. Putting things in perspective, in May, Tesla sold just 8,729 EVs in Europe, down 40.5% from the prior-year period, with its market share shrinking to 0.9% from 1.6% year-over-year. Similarly, YTD registrations were at 46,312 units, a sharp 45% drop from 84,215 a year ago, while European EV demand climbed 12% in the first five months of 2025. In contrast, from January through May 2025, BYD's European registrations jumped fivefold from about 8,500 in Q1 2024 to over 37,000 in Q1 went up a notch in April, when BYD beat Tesla for the first time with 7,231 BEVs sold versus Tesla's 7,165. European BYD customers seem to be enjoying the company's aggressive pricing strategy, fresh hybrid models, and bigger dealer network. Meanwhile, Tesla's North American performance looks a lot better, but not bulletproof. In Q1 2025, Tesla delivered 128,100 EVs in the U.S, an 8.6% drop from a year ago, but it maintained the lion's share at 44%. The contrast reflects its home turf advantage, backed by a massive Supercharger network and loyal Model Y and Model 3 buyers. Nevertheless, automotive titans like GM, Ford, and Volkswagen are all gaining ground fast. All eyes are on Q2 as Tesla reports earnings on July 16, 2025. Wall Street's looking for GAAP EPS of 35 cents, down from 40 cents a year ago. In the last four quarters, Tesla's only topped EPS once in Q3 2024 and beat sales estimates just once, too. Analysts have also slashed EPS estimates 20 times in the past 90 days. On the deliveries front, the street's betting Tesla moved about 393,000 vehicles globally in Q2, down 11% year-over-year but up 17% from fires longtime insider as Europe slump deepens first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 27, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 27, 2025, where it first appeared.
