Longbow's principles

Three things we won't compromise.

i.

Simplicity

Nothing that does not need to be there. Every part, every surface, every step of ownership distilled to its purpose.

ii.

Beauty

Beauty beats stats. A car you must look back at. Timeless beauty.

iii.

Lightness

Less mass, less inertia, more control.

Built by people who've built cars before.

Longbow's founding team has launched, scaled and shipped electric car programmes at Tesla, Lucid, Polestar, BYD, Uber and X-Shore. The advisory board has run Lotus, McLaren and Alpine.
