RBW Opening U.S. Factory to Make Handmade Sports Cars Based on Iconic British Designs
•
Eric Sorensen
RBW EV is a UK-based manufacturer of hand-crafted electric sports cars. It's a nearly eight-year-old family business, and family is important to founder Peter Swain. For example, the company's name, RBW, actually represents the first letter of each name of Swain's children, Rose, Becky and Wesley. The EV, well, you know what that means.
For years, RBW has hand built its GT and Roadster models overseas, including a little more than a year in its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Lichfield, England, which opened in late 2023.
