Gordon Murray, the man behind the design of the legendary McLaren F1 supercar recently announced Gordon Murray design is half way through their 24 month programme on the T.25 city car.  The work completed on the new manufacturing process is promising to revolutionise the future of automotive production and the impact that personal transportation has on the environment.

The T.25 programme is at mid-point with 12 months work completed in the 24 month programme. Work carried out to date is meeting schedule and budget targets and the progress on design is showing that the weight and cost targets are also on track. 

The most exciting aspect of this milestone in the programme is that ‘real world’
quotations for the new manufacturing process have shown that all the ambitious
targets for a massive reduction in manufacturing, running and lifecycle CO2 damage reductions will be met or bettered.  The T.25 programme is not just about innovative vehicle packaging and lightweight design, it also offers solutions to reduce congestion and parking problems whilst addressing the problem of full lifecycle CO2 damage.

Component design is almost complete with the first prototype build scheduled to
begin in early 2009.
