Gordon Murray's T.25 City Car Design

Legendary McLaren F1 super car designer Gordon Murray will today unveil his T.25 City Car Design at the Smith School’s World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment.

While it might seat three, the T.25 City Car is crazy small and it is just 1.6m tall, 2.4m long and 1.3m wide. Two of these things could travel side-by-side in one UK motorway lane. Seemingly light years away from the F1, the T.25 happens to share the same three people seating architecture.

If the parallel parking is an issue for you, it has a solution what likely the world’s smallest turning circle at just 6 meters. You might be able to simply drive into the kerb and park between two cars, as various local government bodies in the United Kingdom have discussed this issue.
T.25 City Car is powered by a tiny 660cc three-cylinder engine producing 38kW, 57Nm of torque and top speed is limited to 145km/h with the benchmark 0-100km/h sprint and will take at 16.2 seconds.

It has no land speed record contender, but the T.25s city car running costs could shatter a record or two with the fuel consumption listed at a staggering 3.83L/100kms and the emissions at an ultra green 86g per kilometer.

T.25 City Car is made by the extraordinary manufacturing process build by the T.25, which is called iStream.
