Callum, a new automotive start-up spearheaded by former Jaguar designer Ian Callum, will debut its first bespoke vehicle, the Skye, at a flashy event in London this week.
Debuted as a prototype in November, the vehicle shown this week is the production-ready car that has been designed and developed - and shortly produced - at the company's 20,000sq ft facility in Warwickshire. It will be available in a choice of two variants: one tailored more towards off-road driving and the other a sportier on-road performance version.
