Jaguar TCS Racing has unveiled the Jaguar I-Type 08, its first car for Formula E’s GEN4 regulations, and added Elysia by Fortescue Zero as the team’s official battery intelligence partner.
Jaguar says the I-Type 08 uses a competition-developed powertrain delivering up to 600kW through permanent active all-wheel drive, split between a 350kW rear unit and a 250kW front unit. Regenerative braking capacity rises to 700kW. These are manufacturer specifications ahead of the car’s first public running and have not been independently validated by MRI.
The expanded GEN4 manufacturer perimeter gives Jaguar responsibility for the motor, inverter, gearbox, rear suspension, active rear differential, cooling system, drive shafts, electrical harnesses, brake-by-wire systems and DC/DC converter, as well as the software and controls that integrate them. Common components include the Bridgestone tyres and two aerodynamic bodywork configurations.
Jaguar plans to run the car at Formula E’s Madrid pre-season test from 16 to 20 November. The team will field António Félix da Costa and Stoffel Vandoorne for the 2026/27 season.
The Elysia agreement is a multi-year partnership. Fortescue Zero says its battery intelligence business will use the programme to accelerate development of next-generation products, but neither party disclosed the contract value, term length, software scope or the data rights attached to the relationship.
Jaguar also says Formula E development has informed its Type 01 road-car programme and that the wider GEN4 development freedom will create further road-technology opportunities. That transfer claim is Jaguar’s own account; the announcement does not identify a production component or release a measured road-car benefit.
MRI compared the Jaguar and Fortescue canonical URLs, the I-Type 08 and Elysia names, Jaguar TCS Racing, Fortescue Zero and the 10 November event date against published MRI news. Existing coverage reports Vandoorne’s driver appointment and Fortescue’s Formula E operation, but not this car specification or battery-intelligence agreement.
