British EV startup Alcraft Motor unveils first design

The GT’s three-motor, four-wheel drive powertrain will reportedly provide 840lb ft torque and 600hp, resulting in an estimated 0-62mph in 3.5 seconds. A T-shaped battery pack between and behind the car’s two seats promises a range of 300 miles. The cabin will feature a roof composed primarily of glass and a wraparound front screen, while the rear will contain a 500 litre luggage compartment. According to Alcraft Motor, production is scheduled to get underway in 2019.

“We want to build a British car company which brings together traditional skills and high technology for the emerging low carbon car market”, said company founder and managing director David Alcraft.

“We’re about combining great design, outstanding dynamics and the visceral thrill of electric powertrains to create products that are high in performance and desirability but very usable. We hope this will establish a niche for Alcraft Motor in Britain’s renowned specialist low-volume car industry.”
