Thanks to the extensive use of composites and carbon fiber, including carbon fiber elements in the space frame, the Skye is expected to weigh less than 2,600 pounds and be able to accelerate from 0 to 60mph in less than 4.0 seconds. The fully independent suspension will be able to be ordered in two specifications, one aimed purely at delivering ultimate off-road performance, and the other tuned for optimal ride and handling on paved and unpaved roads. To make the Skye fully street legal partial cycle guards will be fitted over the front and rear tires. The guards will be black and mounted to the suspension, so they move with the wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe interior will be simple, but we are not going to hold back on ensuring it has a sense of quality,\u201d Callum said when the first renders of the Skye<\/a> were revealed last year. Indeed, the Skye \u2018dynamic\u2019 might be a compact city car on the outside, but on the inside, it looks more like a luxury sports car. The driver and passenger ride in extravagantly contoured sports seats, behind which is a removable bench seat suitable for carrying the kids on an inner-city school run. The blade-like console running between the front seats has integrated switchgear and expands into a geometric shape with touchscreen rotary dials for HVAC controls and other key functions. The footwell features a rubberized graphite finish.<\/p>\n\n\n
