McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray launches car manufacturing company

McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray has announced a new vehicle manufacturing company – Gordon Murray Automotive.

The company’s first car will be a flagship model launched under a new Gordon Murray brand.

Cars built by the new business will be based on a new version of Gordon Murray Design’s automotive production system, iStream. The new Gordon Murray Automotive business will also be able to manufacture vehicles on a low-volume basis for external customers.

Explains Professor Murray: “The new manufacturing business significantly expands the capabilities of our group of companies. With our first new car, we will demonstrate a return to the design and engineering principles that have made the McLaren F1 such an icon.”

Gordon Murray Automotive forms part of a new corporate organisation for the engineering group, and is positioned as a sister company to Gordon Murray Design.
