Dyson to create ten-mile test track for new EV

Dyson has unveiled plans to turn a disused air field into a 10-mile test track for its new electric car, which is due to debut in 2021.

The company bought the former airfield at Hullavington two years ago and has already renovated two hangars at the 517-acre site.

That redevelopment has cost £84m and the next phase of the airfield's development would take the total cost to £200m.

No details about the Dyson electric car have been revealed and no prototype has been built, but Sir James Dyson told GQ magazine that it is to be “quite radical”.
