We realized you cannot create a car by simply gathering needed components.

I think there could be more experimentation if car companies didn't have to make such huge volumes. If you're making 300,000 vehicles, you have to play it safe. Ultimately, the companies want to make customized cars, and they are all working on ways to do that. Experiments with structural systems are usually about that.

I'm really inspired to build a billion-dollar company. The hardest part is building the vehicle to get you there.

When I was at BMW and Aston Martin, I realized how difficult and how many resources it takes to create a car - let alone a car company.

Unfortunately we don't have all the bits and pieces on the car that we had hoped to have by this stage so we've got to make as good a job as we can with what we have and we feel we are doing well with that at the moment.

When General Motors builds a car, they want to meet the specific needs of many customers. But if they custom-make each car, then it will not be economical.

A racing car is an animal with a thousand adjustments.

Manufacturing is more than just putting parts together. It's coming up with ideas, testing principles and perfecting the engineering, as well as final assembly.

I'd love to be part of the process of building cars.
