HERITAGE.
We don’t build cars yet.
This is the twenty-five years that says we will — from a hybrid sketch in a high-school notebook to axial-flux motors drawn in 2009, a trade learned the hard way, and a prototype coming next.
ONE MECHANIC.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
No dynasty. No inherited factory. No borrowed platform. Schubert Motors started with one person, a stack of drawings, and a refusal to accept that America had stopped building great cars.
Evan Schubert spent twenty-plus years as a working mechanic — hands in other people’s engine bays, fixing what the big manufacturers got wrong and logging every failure. The designs came the whole time: hybrid systems in high school, axial-flux motors in 2009, a full concept fleet since. The company is new. The work behind it is not.
This page won’t claim a history that isn’t there. It claims the one that is: decades of drawings, a trade earned the hard way, and the first running metal coming next.
THE ROAD HERE.
The First Hybrid Sketches
It started in a high-school notebook — hybrid drivetrain concepts drawn years before a single hybrid ever reached a dealer lot. No lab, no funding. Just a kid who couldn't stop redrawing how the power should get to the wheels.
Axial Flux, Before It Was Cool
First CAD designs for axial-flux motors — the flat disc-geometry layout the industry wouldn't take seriously for another decade. Drawn on conviction, not hype.
Twenty Years Under the Hood
Two-plus decades as a working mechanic on everyone else's cars. Every make, every failure, every cheap shortcut caught and cursed at. That's the real engineering degree — paid for in knuckle skin, not tuition.
Schubert Motors USA, Incorporated
The drawings became a company. Filed as Schubert Motors USA Inc. — a legal entity, a name, and a hard line drawn between a hobby and an intent.
The Concept Fleet Goes Public
Fourteen designed nameplates led by the Cyclotis flagship, the axial-flux motor engineering, and the MWVCS diagnostic and control software — all built, all shown. Designs and software you can actually look at. No running prototype yet, and we don't pretend otherwise.
First Running Prototype — Target
The goal for next year: real hardware. A running drivetrain on the bench — the first physical proof that twenty-five years of drawings hold up in metal.
First Cars, Built to Order
Low volume. Made by hand. Delivered to the people who backed it early. No mass-production promises we can't keep — just cars, finally real.
WHAT EXISTS
TODAY.
Here’s the honest inventory — everything on this list is real and checkable, and nothing that isn’t made the cut.
- A Delaware corporation. Schubert Motors USA Inc. — formed, filed, real.
- Fourteen designed nameplates. A full concept fleet, led by the Cyclotis flagship.
- Axial-flux motor engineering. Design work that traces back to 2009 CAD.
- A 51,000-line control & diagnostics software suite (MWVCS) — written, compiled, running.
What is not here yet: a running prototype, a powertrain on a dyno, a car you can drive. That’s the 2027 target — and we’ll show it when it’s real, not before.
Every performance figure on this site is a design target from the concept spec sheets — not a homologated number off a real car, because the real car isn’t built yet. When the prototype runs, the numbers get locked to what it actually does. Until then, they’re the goal, stated plainly.
THE CONCEPT FLEET.
Fourteen nameplates designed so far — digital concepts, not historical cars. This is the drawing board the company gets built from. A few of them:
Cyclotis
The founding vehicle. 2,000 hp — hybrid V8 plus four axial-flux motors.
GT-1
A clean-sheet grand touring design study.
Foundry 427
American muscle proportions, drawn again from scratch.
Ember
The lineup goes daily — a crisp, compact performance SUV.
Velma
Three rows, family-hauling proportions, Schubert stance.
Ironside
Blacked-out and built to work — the truck end of the fleet.
THE NEXT CHAPTER
IS METAL.
No fake pedigree. No prototype photos that don’t exist. Just the truth: the designs are done, the company is real, and the first running hardware is the 2027 target.
Back it early, or watch it happen. Either way, you’ll see the metal when it’s real — not a day before.
