- Jaguar TCS Racing, the reigning ABB FIA Teams’ World Champions, reveal Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 prototype
- The Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 prototype – with all‑new GEN3 Evo specification – will run in celebratory testing livery at the official 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E pre‑season test
- Testing livery design represents Jaguar TCS Racing’s 16‑wins at 11 iconic circuits in Formula E to date
- The pre‑season testing period will be critical to assess new GEN3 Evo technology, including all‑wheel‑drive capability, new bodywork, tyres and all‑new Jaguar powertrain
- The Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 will be capable of accelerating from 0‑60mph in 1.82‑seconds (0‑100kmh in 1.86‑seconds), as GEN3 Evo spec Formula E cars become the world’s fastest accelerating FIA single‑seaters
- Jaguar TCS Drivers Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans will be testing at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia from 4 – 7 November 2024
The 2024/2025 season of Formula E – the pinnacle of electric racing – represents another significant forward step in EV technology with the introduction of GEN3 Evo regulations. With new bodywork, all‑wheel‑drive capability for Qualifying Duels, the launch and Attack Mode phases of races, plus new Hankook iON tyres with 5‑10% more grip, Formula E racing will be faster and closer than ever before.
The livery for the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 prototype symbolises all 16 of Jaguar TCS Racing’s victories in Formula E to date, depicting key corners from the 11circuits on which those race wins have happened. These include their first time topping the podium at the 2019 Rome E‑Prix, to the momentous one‑two result at the 2024 Monaco E‑Prix. The official season‑long livery for the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 will be unveiled in due course.

The 2024 season was not only our best year to date in Formula E but also a landmark year with Jaguar TCS Racing winning both the Teams’ World Championship and the inaugural Manufacturers’ Trophy with the Jaguar I‑TYPE 6. As reigning World Champions, we can’t wait to get going with the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 prototype and the exciting technical developments and challenges that the GEN3 Evo era brings with it.
“When we go testing in Valencia – a venue we and all the teams know well of course – we’ll get a good first indication of the performance of all Teams and Manufacturers but most importantly the test will be the first steps for the I‑TYPE 7 in a competitive environment. A newly homologated Jaguar powertrain along with all the other enhancements the GEN3 Evo era brings – most notably new bodywork and all‑wheel drive capability for specific phases of qualifying and racing – means it will be an intense test, but the team and our drivers Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans will all be ready.

I’m really looking forward to getting back on‑track. The GEN3 Evo specifications and new Hankook tyres will bring fresh challenges, so I’m looking forward to driving the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7 prototype in its testing livery in Valencia. The livery really resonates with me as I’ve won on nine of the eleven tracks that are featured and I hope to add to that list next season.

Heading into Valencia testing, I’m incredibly motivated to get to grips with the Jaguar I‑TYPE 7, understand its characteristics and try to get the most out of it ahead of the start of the season. The new all‑wheel drive feature will certainly bring a new element of excitement to the fans and a new challenge for us as drivers. I’m looking forward to racing again.

The four days of testing in Valencia will additionally include a Women’s Test session. The Jaguar TCS Racing drivers for that session will be announced soon.
