"We want to build a British car company that brings together traditional skills and high technology for today's rapidly growing low carbon car market," said David Alcraft in his official statement.

“We combined great design, outstanding dynamics and sharp electric pedals to create a product that not only has the high performance of a supercar, but is also useful in everyday life. We hope this will position Alcraft Motor in the UK's low volume car industry."
