Gordon Murray Design T.25

Engine Aluminium; 3 cyl; 0.66 L

The T.25 or Type 25 is a city car designed by Gordon Murray, who created the iconic McLaren F1 supercar. Murray and his team based in Shalford, south east England have been working on the design for the past three years and, until now, have kept the exact details of the car firmly under wraps. The car made its first public appearance on June 28, 2010 at the UK's Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment in Oxford.
At 2.4 m (7' 10½") long, 1.3 m (4' 3") wide and 1.6 m (5' 3") high; the T.25 is smaller than Daimler AG's popular Smart. The centralized driving position is also a feature of Murray's iconic McLaren F1; central instrumentation and controls are perhaps its most obvious traits borrowed from Formula One. It is a Three Seater Car with a rear mounted three-cylinder petrol engine. From the details released by its designer Murray, three T.25s can be parked in one standard UK parallel parking space, thereby potentially trebling much needed urban parking capacity; in addition, its compact size will allow two T.25s to travel side-by-side (theoretically) in one UK motorway lane. An electric version, called the T.27, was unveiled in June 2011. Both cars are expected to have a top speed of 65 miles per hour (105 km/h)
