Why it matters

The Design-1 is a small-series roadster built in Dubai by Jannarelly Automotive, aimed at drivers who want unfiltered, unassisted driving feel. Its approach follows the lightweight philosophy that Colin Chapman set out for Lotus, combining a tubular chassis, a fibre body and a 1960s-inspired look. The figures come from the company as reported in a French magazine feature.

02Production & history

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

No production figures recorded yet.

History

The car was conceived by Anthony Jannarelly, an engineer who had been a designer at W Motors in the Emirates, and Frédéric Juillot, a maker of marine-industry parts. The two met in the UAE and started their own car project.

Most components are designed and made in-house in Dubai. The article gives a price of around 80,000 euros and a lead time of four to six months, excluding homologation.

Three configurations are offered: Trackday (a bare sports body with a small screen), Lifestyle (a roadster with a small plexiglass windscreen) and Touring (with a hardtop). Homologation follows the British IVA individual approval scheme, with a French approval process under way.
