Engineering Development Platform

The machine that
builds the Eden GT.

Éire Forge Mk I — our all-electric rolling laboratory.
Open-frame, stripped to its skeleton, built to learn.

Not a product · a platform

Forge exists to test ideas.

Forge Mk I is not a production vehicle, and it is not built to be sold. It is Éire's engineering development platform — the machine on which we prove the technology destined for the Eden GT.

We would rather make our mistakes on an open steel frame than on a finished grand tourer. Everything learned here — how a battery behaves, how a chassis goes together, how the software feels — feeds directly into the Eden GT.

The Mission

What Forge validates.

Every system is proven on the platform before it ever reaches the Eden GT — EV architecture, battery technology, thermal management, telemetry, chassis design and vehicle software.

Each is hard, and each is far cheaper to get wrong here, on a bare frame in a garage, than on a six-figure grand tourer.

The Platform

Design intent.

Figures are design targets, not final specifications.

Eden is the destination.
Forge is how we get there.

Why Forge

Experience can't be rendered.

The best way to build a great grand tourer is to first build a machine that teaches you how. Most new car companies leap straight to production promises. Éire is doing the opposite — learning through real engineering first.

Forge Mk I is a development platform, not a customer vehicle. Future Forge variants may one day evolve into limited-production cars — but the vehicle Éire is building toward is the Eden GT.

The Build

It starts with cardboard.

No deposits, no vapourware — just a car taking shape in a garage. We're documenting it from the first piece of tape. Real build imagery follows as the platform comes together; for now, follow the Journal.

Stage 01
Tape & cardboard
A full-scale packaging buck — occupant, wheelbase, width — for almost nothing.
Stage 02
PVC & zip ties
A 1:1 skeleton to lock the geometry before any metal is cut.
Stage 03
Welded steel
The real tubular chassis — measured straight off the buck.

Watch a car take shape
from nothing.

Follow the Forge build and the road to the Eden GT — first looks, behind-the-scenes progress, and first access when reservations open. A few emails, only when it matters.
