Delta Motorsport

Delta Motorsport brings together innovative design, creative production solutions and skilled project management with a track record of delivering challenging projects on time and within budget. This commitment to take a project from a concept, through design, prototype and development to a finished product was put to the ultimate test when, their ultra-efficient E-4 Coupe electric prototype was destroyed in a fire at the workshop, just one month before it was due to be entered in the $10m Automotive X Prize competition in America.

"It's hard to explain how we felt. Gutted, would be the best description. We had been working on the car for around three-and-a-half years and to have that taken away, to have lost all that effort and focus, was obviously a huge, huge disappointment...

But we weren't building the car just to enter the competition. Taking part was as much about building ourselves up as a company and brand and showing people what we can do."

- Technical director Nick Carpenter

True to form, the E-4 Coupe has been rebuilt and will drive from Oxford to London in the Bridgestone Eco-Rally on Sunday 31 July
