2011 Gordon Murray T.27
Now Gordon Murray T.27 electric vehicle is unveiled as London ultra compact city car. The design and development of the project cost £ 9 million, half of which were invested by the UK government-backed Technology Strategy Board.
2011 Gordon Murray T.27 is one that would address the problems of CO2 emissions, city congestion, parking and low cost. He therefore patented a new manufacturing process, called iStream, which enabled him to produce new levels of lightweight structure and safety in city cars.
The car is the most economical amongst electric city cars: per km, it consumes 29% less energy than the Smart EV, 36% less energy than the Mitsubishi iMiEV, and a staggering 86% less energy than the Mini-E, making the T.27 easily the world’s most efficient electric car.
Gordon Murray T.27 is a project that was completed in just 17 months from conception to a running prototype, including the design of a new electric powertain by Zytek Automotive Ltd. The T.27 achieved recently first class results in the EuroNCAP 50 km/h impact crash test, confirming the integrity of the chassis.
