Speedster and the Featherweight Electric Platform

Lighter than the sum
of its parts.

The Featherweight Electric Platform.

The lightweight aluminium and composite chassis places the driver low and close to the centre of gravity, concentrating mass within the wheelbase for exceptional balance, safety and agility.

Flexible architecture supports multiple vehicle configurations while remaining true to pure sports car dynamics.

Two materials. One philosophy.
Centre Axis Architecture, viewed from above

Centre Axis Architecture.

Longbow's Centre Axis Architecture concentrates mass along the vehicle's centre axis, reducing inertia and delivering exceptional balance, control and steering feel.

Combined with high torsional stiffness, it creates a chassis that responds with precision through every corner.

Double wishbone suspension and Pirelli P Zero tyre

Engineered for the drive.

Race-derived double wishbone suspension all round with custom-tuned coilover dampers delivers ultra-responsive steering and exceptional chassis control.

Combined with Pirelli P Zero tyres and an optimised 45:55 weight distribution, it maintains consistent tyre contact and grip through cornering loads, perfectly matched to its lightweight, dynamic character.

Mass extinction.

In a truly featherweight car there is a symbiosis of driver and vehicle.

Our dedication to the reduction of mass is evident from every angle, unlocking sharper response, immediate pedal feel and greater confidence in every corner.

Battery and electric architecture.

The ultra-lightweight battery system is built on a modular, high-performance 800V architecture, achieving industry-leading energy density of over 220 Wh/kg at pack level. Engineered specifically for lightweight, high-demand applications, it delivers long range, rapid charging capability and consistent peak performance.

A focused electrical layout reduces weight while enhancing safety, security and durability, exceeding ISO 26262 and UNECE R100 standards.
