glasshouse architecture that results in perfect proportions.
The Exterior A modern-day classic dressed with a timeless shape and an unspeakable elegance. The evolutionary design of the Rømer focuses on perpetual beauty and ageless proportions of the 60’s Le Mans prototype vehicles for today’s modern era.
The Interior
The architecture of the interior takes a minimalist design approach with minimal tech intervention and complexity. Highly focused on analogue theme and tactility, the classically designed switchgear and circular analogue dials takes inspiration from the timeless design themes in the 60s and 70s. The interior design language signifies a story and relationship between modern and classic design.

The Chassis When all the beautifully dramatic design is lifted, what remains is equally awe-inspiring: the carbon-fibre monocoque and the powertrain it holds. Designed and engineered in collaboration with Rimac, an industry-leading electric vehicle manufacture, the Rømer’s full carbon fibre monocoque is the biggest single carbon-piece in the industry – with the full battery and powertrain integrated within the monocoque.
The Drivetrain Thanks to our collaboration with Rimac every component is perfectly matched to the entire system which results in the most power-dense solution in the 150+ kW range. With four electric motors powering each individual wheel giving both four-wheel drive and unprecedented levels of dynamic control, the Rømer is not only a wonder to look at but also a dream to drive.
