We decided to build a car from scratch -
a practical solution to driving
in modern cities.
It's a holistic approach -
the materials, the manufacturing process,
the lubricants,
the design and engine.
Every single element within the engine
has been considered and optimised.
We get a great thrill when we can share
this exciting car in the real world,
from concepts developed on sketch pads
and computers.
It has been a lot of hard work,
but it has all paid off.
This is a car for today,
intended to inspire thinking about
maximising personal mobility
while minimising energy use.
The car is now here, it works
and its performance is incredible.
We used our expertise with leading-edge
products like Shell Helix
to create an efficient lubricant
which works perfectly in harmony
with the engine,
thanks to our co-engineering approach.
We've shown that we have built
a very energy efficient car.
Collaboration has been the key.
We couldn't have designed this
on our own.
I hope we inspire people to think
differently about car design -
especially city cars.
We want to demonstrate
what's possible today.
It's a small vehicle full of big ideas.
