Jaguar unveiled its new Type 00 concept car for the first time on Friday morning at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The car will never go on sale in its existing form.
Instead, it is a concept car exhibited to showcase Jaguar's new "exuberant modernism."
The car stunned Goodwood's guests with its spotless, striking blue exterior which drew large crowds from across the festival.
The colour was a significant departure from the pink colour dressing the 00 when it was first announced late last year.
This was preceded by Jaguar's glossy ad campaign with bright colours and catwalk models last November which sparked outrage.
When the 30-second ad was first unveiled, flashing up a number of slogans, including "live vivid", "delete ordinary" and "copy nothing", fans on social media were not happy.
The likes of Nigel Farage and even Elon Musk led the critics, with the Reform leader describing it as "woke" and warned the automaker risked "going bust" due to its new design choice.
Musk simply asked Jaguar on X: ''Do you sell cars?'
This weekend, fans had the chance to comment on the car's new design after physically seeing it.
Jaguar boss doubles down & DEFENDS new 'woke Tesla' pink EV in controversial rebrand
Speaking to The Times, many fans were left unimpressed by Jaguar's new concept car and new brand direction.
"The back's horrendous," said one fan.
Another assessed: 'They've wrecked the brand.
"The logo is awful, it looks like it was designed by a child.
One fan even said the new ad campaign had led him to sell his F-Pace.
Others did enjoy some of the features of the new car, saying they thought it was cool and futuristic.
In November, the controversial ad excluded any images of its sleek sports cars as it touted its transition to a fully electric, ultra-luxury company.
The scrapping of the well-known big cat badge in favour of a geometric 'J' design also drew fierce criticism.
At the time of release, one Facebook user commented: "If I wasn't sure before, now I'm convinced Jaguar have completely lost the plot. This woke nonsense won't gain anything."
Another said: "As someone who worked for this iconic brand up until production cessation in June it really does sadden me to see the direction the company has decided to take."

Dua Lipa changes outfits for charity supercar auction at motorsport event
Dua Lipa impressed onlookers with an outfit change quicker than a F1 pitstop as she headed to Goodwood Festival Of Speed in West Sussex, England on Saturday. The singer looked casually cool as she arrived at the motoring event in a black leather jacket and black, ripped denim shorts for the charity auction of a customized Porsche 911 GT3 RS, which she designed herself. In record-breaking time, Dua switched up her look to a white T-shirt a striped yellow shirt, and blue jeans while leaving her hair long and loose. Featured her name and the German word Rennstall, which means racing team, on the hood of the car, the colourful vehicle was designed by the singer, with all proceeds from the auction going to the Sunny Hill Foundation. The star set up the charity in Kosovo to support vulnerable people in the country, with a focus on arts and culture. The sale was organized with Sotheby's, which says the car has a value 'in excess of $400,000'.
