The Rover 75 was developed during BMW’s ownership of the Rover brand. The 2004 75 Coupe was designed by Peter Stevens, Rover’s design director at the time, to celebrate Rover’s 100th anniversary. BMW had sold Rover to Phoenix Holdings in 2000; the new owners lacked the resources to put the Coupe into production. In 2005, the MG Rover Group went into administration.

Dendrobium D-1
You may have never heard the name Peter Stevens, but you're undoubtedly familiar with some of the cars he's designed: exotics like the McLaren F1, Jaguar XJR-15, and Lotus Esprit and Elan. And now he's lent his talents to another British supercar. Only this time it's all electric. The Dendrobium D-1, for the uninitiated, is about as light as a super-EV can be. Offsetting the inherent heft of the battery pack, it's built around a carbon monocoque construction similar to what he (and Gordon Murray) pioneered on the McLaren F1.
So while it may be heftier than an internal-combustion (or even hybrid) McLaren, at 1,750 kg (3,858 lbs), it's a fair bit lighter than a Tesla Model S or Rimac's Concept_One or C_Two. It's not the first time Stevens has worked on an electric vehicle, having laid the aesthetic groundwork for the Rivian R1T. But this project is an altogether more performance-focused proposition, closer in spirit to the aforementioned supercars he's worked on before – to say nothing of the Le Mans-winning BMW V12 LMR, a handful of Subaru rally cars, and various MGs and Rovers.
