Jaguar TCS Racing revealed the Jaguar I-Type 08, its GEN4 Formula E car, in a predominantly blue livery on 10 November 2026. The reveal took place at Jaguar at Knightsbridge, London. The car has up to 600kW of power from Jaguar’s own powertrain, driving all four wheels.
The main blue is French Ultramarine Blue, a colour that customers can order on the Type 01, Jaguar’s new all-electric four-door GT. The GT launched in October 2026. The link goes beyond paint. Jaguar says technology proven on track directly enhanced the Type 01’s development, and it says GEN4 creates room for continuous technology updates to the road car. According to Dive Bomb, the livery moves into jet black at the rear and across the sidepods.
The 600kW is a peak figure. According to WhichEV, Formula E specifies 450kW in standard race mode, with the higher output reserved for qualifying and Attack Mode. Compared with the preceding generation, the I-Type 08 gets 43% more battery capacity, up to 71% more power, and permanent all-wheel drive from 350kW rear and 250kW front powertrains. Its regenerative braking capacity is 700kW.
Jaguar says the car will accelerate faster than a Formula 1 car, and it expects lap times to fall by up to ten seconds compared with GEN3. Jaguar now designs more of the car itself, including the motor, inverter, gearbox, rear suspension, active rear differential, front and rear brake-by-wire, and DC/DC converter. It will also supply its GEN4 powertrain to Paysafe Envision Formula E Team and Fortescue Zero Racing.
The Jaguar I-Type 08 is the most performant electric race car created by Jaguar TCS Racing and, alongside a hugely significant moment for the wider brand following the unveiling of the Type 01, really underlines what a pivotal moment this is for Jaguar and its all-electric future.

The reigning Teams’ World Champions, who also took the title in 2024, will field two former Drivers’ World Champions. António Félix da Costa (#13) won the title in Season 6, and Stoffel Vandoorne (#5) won it in Season 8. Vandoorne replaces Mitch Evans, who joined Opel. As test and reserve driver last season, he did a lot of mileage developing the I-Type 08.
Every team gets new Bridgestone dry and wet weather tyres and two aerodynamic bodywork configurations. Every event keeps a 40-minute E-Prix with PIT BOOST and ATTACK MODE. Double-headers add Formula E Unleashed, a 25-minute sprint in high-downforce trim, with ATTACK MODE but no PIT BOOST. The calendar includes São Paulo, Jeddah, Tokyo, and Monaco, with Austin’s Circuit of the Americas, Brands Hatch, and Zandvoort new to it.
Jaguar hasn’t given an opening race date, but the I-Type 08 will run at the official pre-season test in Madrid on 16-20 November.
