Jaguar has released another two preview images of its upcoming Design Vision Concept, showcasing how the reimagined Leaper logo will be used in its new cars.
It appears to conceal a rear-facing camera, which could hint at the use of rear-view cameras rather than traditional mirrors – an element of the brand's future models exclusively reported by Autocar last year.
It follows yesterday's (20 November) unexpected release of a teaser image for the concept, confirming Autocar's report that it will also omit a traditional rear window.
It also showcased the concept's dramatic proportions, with a remarkably wide rear wheel arch and track, as well as a repeated contrast between smooth curves and hard-edged straight lines.
Conventional rear lights can't be seen: they are either out of view of the preview shot or are concealed by the prominent slats running across the tail.
These slats mirror those featured in the new Leaper logo, suggesting the concept could showcase Jaguar's new branding in large scale.
The image was posted to social media accompanied by the text “copy nothing”, reiterating the mantra of JLR creative chief Gerry McGovern – and a phrase that is derived from that of Jaguar founder William Lyons.

The unexpected post comes in the wake of the strong reaction to Jaguar’s rebranding, which was detailed in full on 19 November.
“We are creating Jaguar for the future, restoring its status as a brand that enriches the lives of our clients and the Jaguar community,” said McGovern.
JLR CEO Adrian Mardell has described Jaguar’s rebirth as “a complete reset”, calling its new effort “something spectacular”.
The concept will be shown in full on 2 December at Miami Art Week in Florida, the US.
It's set to preview a four-door electric GT, which will be the first in a three-car line-up due from 2026.
The production car, which recently began road testing, will pack north of 575bhp and have a range of more than 430 miles. It will be priced in excess of £100,000, positioning it as a rival for the Porsche Taycan.

Is the second new picture a door handle or a hidden back up camera?
JaGUar management: " F**K! We screwed up. Hull breach on all decks. Brace for impact. Launch teaser pictures. Rapid fire!! By December 2nd they may have forgiven us".
I have seen some shite logos in my time, but must put the new Jaguar logo, in my top three shite logos list. Pietrosanti, (who doesn't like women) the designer of the pathetic logo, describes his role as 'delivering and optimising the Jaguar product vision and brand roadmap'. I have no idea what he is smoking. Can anyone translate this into English, as he talks boll*/=s, like Gus from Drop the Dead Donkey. The logo is not the problem with Jaguar. It's simple, shite, overpriced, unreliable, ugly cars, pathetic customer support through dealers worldwide. I would rather buy Hyundai, Kia or Dacia even, than a Jag. The e-type is still one of the best designs of a car ever. Even Enzo loved it, over anything Ferrari produced. I wonder where these complete morons will be in 12 months time. Jaguar sales will be about 500 in 2025. Bankruptcy in 2026. Sad to see, a once great, proud, desired brand go. A lot of companies are simply employing the wrong people, instead of workers, tradesmen, engineering designers, visionaries. Could this be their Bud Light moment?
