Jun 16, 2017: Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, transported Design-1 sports car from UAE to France. The sports car is entirely designed and built in the UAE and will be exhibited during the prestigious ‘24 hours of Le Mans’ endurance race.
The design-1 sports car is designed by Jannarelly Automotive with Equation Composites– the first company to have acquired a car manufacturing license in the country. Inspired by the classic sports cars of the 1960s, the Jannarelly Design-1 is a lightweight retro-futuristic car built using hi-tech composite materials. Equation Composites uses a small team of specialists to build each car, valued anywhere between $70,000 and $90,000, allowing for a high degree of customisation according to the specific requirements of customers.
Emirates SkyCargo regularly transports high-value premium and luxury automobiles on both its passenger aircraft and freighters across its global network of over 155 destinations.
