“#Former F1 designer plans to make world\u2019s lightest EV<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The Gordon Murray Group (GMG), founded by the former Formula One designer, announced<\/a> yesterday a detailed\u00a0\u00a3300 million ($424 million), five-year expansion plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most notably, part of this investment will fund the creation of a new business unit, Gordon Murray Electronic (GME), that will develop advanced electrified powertrains for global carmakers and tech companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe automotive future will be increasingly electrified and it\u2019s essential that we design the world\u2019s lightest, most efficient, and advanced EVs,\u201d Murray said. And that\u2019s exactly GME\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n

Lightweight architecture has been Murray\u2019s philosophy throughout his career and, as he told Autocar<\/a>, he sees many lightweight opportunities in the electric vehicles he\u2019s envisioning. Specifically, he commented that the B-segment design they\u2019re creating can reduce about a third of the current total EV weight.<\/p>\n

Why is that important? Well, less weight simply means you need less energy to power your car, which in turn will increase its range.<\/span><\/p>\n

Murray also said that the firm\u2019s first electric vehicle will take the form of \u201ca little SUV with a compact delivery van derivative,\u201d aimed to be a practical small car.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the meantime, GMG is still set on launching the bold T.50 supercar \u2014 featuring a gas-guzzling V-12 petrol engine \u2014 which will enter production in 2022.<\/span> Despite the turn to electricity, the company has explicitly remarked it won\u2019t abandon internal combustion power as long as regulations allow it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
