All-Wheel-Drive, Multi-Terrain Electric Vehicle Unveiled by the UK's CALLUM

CALLUM, a British design and engineering business  has revealed CALLUM SKYE, a high-performance multi-terrain electric vehicle. It is the company’s first own brand vehicle fully conceived, designed and engineered in-house.

Measuring 4,047mm in length and 1,900mm in width, SKYE uses a rugged space frame chassis with trail-capable suspension that delivers appropriate ground clearance as well as comfort across diverse terrains.

Its 42kWh lithium-ion battery endows it with an anticipated range of 170 miles, with customers able to specify an advanced, ultra-fast charging battery capable of empty-to-full charge in under ten minutes.

It is expected to accelerate 0-60mph in under four seconds.

CALLUM SKYE is undergoing engineering refinement and rigorous testing in the UK and Europe ahead of releasing details of definitive specifications and curated variants in spring 2024.

Ian Callum, head of design at CALLUM, says: “At four metres long, the CALLUM SKYE is dramatically proportioned with a concise exterior aesthetic driven by its capabilities. It has been designed to exceed expectations: minimal mass, maximum capability – exceptionally usable and an absolute joy to drive.”

David Fairbairn, managing director at CALLUM, adds: “The CALLUM SKYE addresses a void in the market, endowing discerning owners with a bold, beautifully-engineered off-road vehicle that beckons to be enjoyed, giving a sense of fun, freedom and escapism. It’s an exceptionally capable vehicle with the refinement of boutique craftsmanship. And with its battery options, our ambition is for the CALLUM SKYE to make a big impression on the industry, while ensuring it doesn’t have a negative environmental impact.”

Established in July 2019, CALLUM’s founding members include British designer Ian Callum CBE, known for his automotive work that includes the Aston Martin Vanquish.
