Gordon Murray is reportedly developing an electric SUV.

Gordon Murray Automotive, the new automotive company of McLaren F1 designer Gordon Murray, is currently putting the final touches on two V-12 supercars.

While the company promises to offer V-12 vehicles as long as emission regulations allow, it will also soon offer electric vehicles in preparation for the post-internal combustion engine era, and some of these electric vehicles will be SUVs.

In an interview with Autocar published Monday, Murray said two electric SUVs are in the works. [One will be a four-seater and front-wheel drive, the other a five-seater and four-wheel drive. Prices will be more affordable than the seven-figure price tags of GMA's supercars, and the SUVs "will change range anxiety and the way we think about vehicle dynamics," Murray said.

The SUV is being developed by a separate company, Gordon Murray Design, and will use a platform developed by another company within the Gordon Murray Group, the recently formed Gordon Murray Electronics.

According to Autocar, the SUV will utilize Murray's iStream design and production process. iStream uses a tubular frame combined with pre-assembled composite panels featuring a honeycomb structure instead of traditional unibody and pressed metal production to The car is then assembled using a preassembled composite panel that features a honeycomb structure.

No release date for the SUV was mentioned.

As for GMA's existing models, the T.50 Supercar is scheduled to go into production later this year. The T.33 supercar will then go into production in 2024; GMA plans to offer electrified supercars after that, and the T.33 is confirmed to be GMA's last V-12 model without electrification.
