With a top speed of 80 mph, Gordon Murray’s latest design isn’t likely to trouble too many speed cameras, but it shouldn’t worry environmentalists either.
The former Formula One engineer who created the iconic McLaren F1 supercar has officially unveiled the T.25—his idea for a new class of city car.
At less than eight feet long and a little over four feet wide, the T.25 is smaller than Daimler AG’s popular Smart car, and a petrol engine model will retail for around $9,000.
The price tag isn’t exactly Formula One, but the technology and thinking employed to create the T.25 certainly is.
The centralized driving position—also a feature of Murray’s McLaren F1—and central instrumentation and controls are perhaps its most obvious traits borrowed from Formula One.
The T.25 is light, weighing in at just 550 kilograms, helping it achieve a fuel efficiency of around 74 miles per gallon.
Inside, the modular interior allowing for six different configurations, which can be easily adjusted to accommodate passengers or used as storage space.
You’ll find it hard to lose a wing mirror as they both sit within the overall width of the car and fuel caps are situated on either side of the car.
