The Supercar: Where Next?

Formula Student Team

Free to attend: hear an exclusive panel discussion on 17 January 2019 at the IMechE's London HQ.

We've already had 1000bhp supercars, 250mph supercars and £10m supercars. Over the next decade the genre — vital to the British car industry — faces its biggest challenge: to make itself relevant in the new age of electrification and connectivity.

Join the discussion next week as our panel of representatives address the question: how can the supercars of the future grab the attention of a confirmed and very conservative body of petrolhead owners and potential owners? How will manufacturers cope and what will their future cars be like?

Panelists include:

  • Andy Palmer: Vehicle Line Director - Ultimate Series, McLaren
  • Julian Thomson: Creative Design Director, Jaguar Land Rover
  • Nick Carpenter: Engineering Director, Delta Motorsport Limited
  • Steve Gooding: Director, RAC Foundation
  • Steve Cropley: Editor in Chief, Autocar

This event is free and open to all to attend: simply book your place via the event website and we look forward to welcoming you to our London HQ.
