  • Murray's T25 outspaces Smart

    Sep 02, 2009 9:42 AM

    Gordon Murray’s new city car, the T25, will have more interior space than rivals such as the Smart Fortwo and the Toyota iQ, according to the car’s designer.

    The three-seater, which uses a central driving position, places the driver at the front and in the middle of the car. The two passengers are set back on either side.

    I'm waiting to see some proper pictures. All these claims he's making seem to be very bold indeed, I hope they translate into reality! Looking forward to this car.

    Yes, proper pictures without the word AUTOCAR obscuring what they contain. I mean, come on, when watermarking you just need to put your logo within the potential crop area, not skewed over the whole bloody image.

    In addition, not one of the photos hints at what the production car might look like - for that you have to Google and visit other sites.

    Time to put the readers in charge ;)

    2.4-metre long, 1.25-metre-wide

     This is going to be an absolute winner in crowded cities like Rome. How clever. Good luck.

    Good to hear more news on this project - very exciting!  Think it will really shake things up if/when it makes production...

    Have my doubts about the T25 project. Here's one that makes more sense, as far as I'm concerned... Small is not the issue... Sleek may well be... For reasons of passenger safety, comfort, handling characteristics and energy-efficiency. Use a clever seating layout and you'll be able to accommodate three grown-ups easily.

    Almost everything that I have ever seen that has the Murray signature is a status symbol of superb automotive art.

    Gordon Murray long ago became fed up with the 'bling' kind of car and mega buck motors almost as if he had swallowed a massive sensibility pill of sustainable and utterly practical motoring life. 

    The man is brilliant, quite brilliant and he should be supported the World over.

     Go on Gordon, there are countless zillions of sensible motorists out there who are simply longing for the automotive results of your creative pen.

    My life is now all about driving very slowly along the deserted tracks surrounding my farm here in France in my 300TDi Defender, but having said that I can always recall my fast sideways days of times gone by.

    Go Gordon go, if this is priced realistic and can be made at a profit on the numbers to be produced then the UK could have a new mini car to take on the big boys.You only have to look at Dyson and Balylis, they took on the giants in there field and a few years later they are at the top.

    City cars are the future no mater what we may feel,ok we will still have to have family cars and there will be still be a few sports models around but in general in the big towns and cities in Europe small Micro/Mini cars will be the norm.
