Gordon Murray Automotive, the new car company of McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray, is currently putting the final touches on a pair of V-12 supercars.<\/p>\n

While the company is committed to offering V-12 cars as long as emission rules allow, it will also soon offer electric vehicles<\/a> in preparation for a post internal-combustion engine era\u2014and some of these EVs will be SUVs.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Autocar<\/em><\/a> published on Monday, Murray said he has two electric SUVs in the works, one thought to be for GMA and the other for another automaker.<\/p>\n

One SUV will feature four seats and front-wheel drive and the other five seats and four-wheel drive. Pricing will be more accessible than the seven-figure price tags of GMA’s supercars, and the SUVs will \u201cchange the way we think about range anxiety and vehicle dynamics,\u201d Murray said.<\/p>\n

The SUVs are being developed by the separate company Gordon Murray Design, and will use a platform developed by yet another company within the Gordon Murray Group, the recently established Gordon Murray Electronics.<\/p>\n

According to Autocar, the SUVs will take advantage of Murray’s iStream design and production process<\/a>, where instead of traditional unibody and stamped metal production, cars are assembled using tubular frames in combination with pre-assembled composite panels featuring a honeycomb structure. iStream is claimed to not only save weight but also make production easier and more flexible.<\/p>\n

Release dates for the SUVs weren’t mentioned.<\/p>\n

As for GMA’s existing models, the T.50 supercar<\/a> is due to start production later this year. The T.33 supercar<\/a> will then follow into production in 2024. GMA then plans to offer electrified supercars, with the T.33 confirmed as GMA’s last V-12 model devoid of electrification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
