Gordon Murray Design - Type 25

Here's some on Gordon Murray Design's Type 25 Revolutionary City Car.

A few quotes from their press release:

  • Cheaper to produce than most cars
  • High standards of safety
  • Lesser assembly parts to ease manufacturing - cutting down costs
  • Lowest CAFE Footprint ever
  • Environmentally friendly - Calculations include the entire product manufacturing life cycle
Check out the two pictures below on how small the car is

Wonderful, but will the city councils acknowledge such 'rampant' parking?

By the way, we're wondering if Gordon Murray had been so revolutionary environmental conscious, would he have created the Mclaren F1 like this?
