JAGUAR TCS RACING CONFIRMS GEN4 RACE CAR NAME: Jaguar I-Type 08

2 November 2026

Jaguar TCS Racing today confirm the name of their ABB FIA Formula E World Championship GEN4 race car: the Jaguar I‑Type 08, which will compete from Season 2027 onwards.

The new name marks a subtle evolution of Jaguar TCS Racing's established racing nomenclature. From their 2016 debut challenger, the Jaguar I‑TYPE 1, through to their most successful competitor, the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7, the team's Formula E race cars have built strong equity in the I‑TYPE name. 
 
For the GEN4 era, the naming convention evolves to I‑Type 08, introducing a sentence‑case "Type" and an added leading zero – the change to reflect the reveal of the recently revealed Jaguar Type 01. 

The Jaguar I-Type 08 will compete in the GEN4 era

The Jaguar I‑Type 08 will compete from Season 2027 onwards

The Jaguar I‑Type 08 will be revealed on Tuesday 10 November and will debut publicly at Formula E's official pre‑season testing in Madrid at Circuito de Madrid Jarama from Monday 16‑Friday 20 November 2026.
