With influence from the designer behind the Aston Martin Vanquish and Jaguar I-Pace, the Callum Skye is a fierce-looking off-road EV sports car. The latest Ian Callum creation is now available to order.
Meet the $100,000 Callum Skye off-road EV sports car
The Callum Skye is the first EV from Ian Callum, an iconic British car designer’s own design and engineering firm.
Introduced last November, the Callum Skye is an all-electric 2+2 off-roader. As the “world’s most beautiful multi-terrain vehicle,” according to its engineers, the Skye is unique and versatile.
With a Callum design, you can see the influence from the Jaguar F-Type and Aston Martin vehicles with its sleek, rugged exterior design.
The electric sports car is designed for those seeking “extraordinary on and off-road adventures,” crafted with “the utmost capability, refinement, and beauty.”
Powered by a 42 kWh battery, the Callum Skye is expected to get up to 170 miles range. It also includes ultra-fast charging for a full charge in under 10 minutes.
At 4,047 mm long and 1,900 mm wide, the Skye is smaller than other off-road EVs like the Rivian R1T, but like the Rivian, it boasts sports car performance, with a 0 to 60 mph sprint in under 4 seconds.
At just 1,150 kg (about 2,500 lbs), the off-roader is also one of the lightest EVs on the market.
The inside features a central touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Callum designed the dashboard with a focus on functionality with easy touchscreen dials.
Up front are two cossetting sports seats. Meanwhile, the rear features a versatile bench that can removed for extra storage.
Callum says the hinged tailgate has enough storage for luggage for a long weekend getaway, sports, and lifestyle gear.
The Callum Skye has been testing in Europe and is now available to order. According to Autocar, the production version is priced from £80,000 to £110,000 ($101,700 to $140,000). The company plans to release several variants, but more details and specs will be revealed closer to launch.
