Event scope and exclusions+
Proposed included scope
- -Track access on agreed dates
- -Programme coordination
- -Qualifying event energy
- -Agreed technical support
- -Coaching / debrief
- -Ordinary scheduled tyre and brake wear on the specified setup, where released terms retain that proposal
Excluded unless expressly agreed
- -Damage
- -Misuse or unscheduled running
- -Transport
- -Personal insurance
- -Travel
- -Accommodation
- -Bespoke services
TARGET Eight events across five suitable circuits remain targets until confirmed.
Upgrade paths
Move up. Pay the difference.
| From | To | Additional contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Founder Owner | +£4,000 |
| Discovery | Gentleman Founder | +£29,000 |
| Founder Owner | Gentleman Founder | +£25,000 |
Prior eligible contribution is credited once. The same remaining Discovery balance is retained, not reissued. Founder identity, Founder number and any valid priority are not duplicated on upgrade.
Pure driving.
Lower energy cost.
Same feeling. A brighter tomorrow.
Compare the modelled energy cost over 100 runs of about ten minutes for a conventional lightweight Seven-style track car with the proposed Sprint 25E and Sprint 66E electric roadsters.
This is a separate supplementary comparison supplied by Damien Biro / VDK, not an R03 or R04 figure set. The Seven assumes 4 L of petrol per run at £1.45/L by default, with 3 to 6 L sensitivities; this is an assumption, not measured universal Seven consumption. The comparison excludes depreciation, battery lifecycle, tyres, insurance and other ownership costs, so it is a modelled energy cost, not a whole-vehicle running-cost saving. The figures are not measured MK production data and are not guaranteed savings. Vehicle pricing and commercial terms remain subject to MK/VDK approval.

How sensitive is the comparison to fuel use?
Conventional default is 4 litres per 10-minute run at an illustrative £1.45/L, over 100 runs.
4L × 100 runs = £580

Illustrative energy-cost comparison. A cost ratio is not a measure of physical energy efficiency.
Proposed commercial terms
Founder Owner
£5,000 programme contribution
Own the car. Join the programme.
Proposed vehicle price with 20% concession
Combined illustrative customer cost
Qualifying energy/service
Vehicle purchase remains separate from the programme contribution. Pricing, concession, tax basis, eligibility and energy terms remain subject to release.
Proposed commercial terms
Gentleman Founder
£30,000 programme
Drive more. Be part of something bigger.
Proposed vehicle price with 25% concession
Combined illustrative commitment
Track events are targets, not confirmed dates. These figures are modelled programme costs, not a cash allowance or guaranteed saving.
Lower energy cost
Modelled energy cost is materially lower than the conventional petrol reference.
Simpler powertrain
No engine oil, spark plugs or exhaust system. Fewer conventional drivetrain service items.
Swap, don't wait
Removable energy modules are intended to let depleted energy recharge away from the car. ~3-minute exchange target.
Same circuit
Designed for the same road-and-track environment, with a different energy system.
Lower-impact track driving
No local exhaust emissions during electric driving and lower propulsion noise.
What is common to both?
Some costs don't disappear just because the car is electric.
- Tyres
- Brake wear
- Track-day fees
- Insurance
- Suspension / chassis maintenance
- Transport / travel
- Accident / damage costs
See the assumptions+
Conventional reference: ~£38,400 purchase reference; 100 × approximately 10-minute runs; 4 litres petrol/run default; £1.45/litre illustrative fuel price.
Sprint 25E: 2.5 kWh/run study screen STUDY; approximately £0.99 energy/service/run economic-model result.
Sprint 66E: 5.5 kWh/run study screen STUDY; approximately £1.83 energy/service/run economic-model result.
MK energy figures are study/economic-model inputs and have not yet been established as measured production-vehicle consumption.
Battery lifecycle cost, depreciation, final insurance cost and final production servicing requirements are not yet established and are therefore not included as claimed savings.
Indicative economics · Sprint 25E Discovery+
Vehicle figures use the MK price hypothesis of £30,000 for Sprint 25E Discovery PRICE HYPOTHESIS. This is not a confirmed sale price.
Founder Owner: £5,000 programme contribution + vehicle with proposed 20% discount → illustrative vehicle figure £24,000.
Gentleman Founder: £30,000 participation + vehicle with proposed 25% discount → illustrative vehicle figure £22,500.
All arithmetic is illustrative, before tax treatment, and subject to approved and released terms.
What is not included+
No payment is taken on this site. Vehicle purchase is always separate from Founder Owner and Gentleman Founder. Damage, transport, personal insurance, travel and accommodation are excluded from Founder events unless specifically agreed.
Founder numbers, priority and eligible use+
A proposed Founder number is a reserved position in the Founder series, not a legal vehicle identification number. An enquiry allocates no number, build slot or event place; delivery priority is not a confirmed delivery date.
Benefits begin with eligible service availability, not while vehicles remain under validation. The Gentleman season depends on suitable partner circuits, agreed dates, an organiser and released vehicle capacity. Qualifying private energy applies at participating sites, not an assumed nationwide network.
