UK-based domestic appliance company Dyson is building a 10-mile £200m ($259m) test track and electric vehicle (EV) research centre for an electric car being developed by the group for launch in 2021. Dyson CEO Jim Rowan said the track, on a former airfield in Wiltshire, south-west England, would become a world-class vehicle testing campus. The facility will be home to up to 100 staff from across Dyson’s global engineering team as well as engineers working with other automakers.

Details of the "radical" vehicle have not been released and no prototype has yet been built, but the company's founder Sir James Dyson has said the car will have some driverless features and may not even look like a conventional vehicle.
