Click above for a gallery of pint-sized T.25 toys According to Gordon Murray, the upcoming city car that his design firm has been working on will be half the size of an average car while maintaining at least a 4-star safety rating in Euro NCAP testing. How small is that? Two T.25′s will fit in a single lane while driving and 3 will fit in a standard-sized parallel parking spot. Really small. Murray also promises that there will be 6 different layouts for his little multi-purpose vehicle, all of which will share the same basic underpinnings. That small size has plenty of desirable effects, such as cutting carbon emissions and fuel consumption in half and cutting the amount of raw materials necessary for its construction in half. Further, much less energy will be required to assemble the vehicle or ship it to its final destination. Where possible, recycled components will be used. It may be hard to imagine the impact that the vehicle’s size and construction will have, so the hopeful automaker has released a bunch of images demonstrating the superiority of the T.25′s design… using little toys. The T.25 will also be adept at avoiding giant snakes , apparently. See our gallery below.
