The all-new model is being developed by 400 staff at its HQ in Malmesbury, Wiltshire.
Further work will take place at a nearby former RAF base with staff moving in next February.
A factory has yet to be chosen but the battery-powered car will be on sale after 2020.
Company founder Sir James Dyson told staff in an e-mail: "Competition for new technology in the automotive industry is fierce and we must do everything we can to keep the specifics of our vehicle confidential."
Dyson has had an ambition to develop an electric car since 1998 but was rejected by the industry.
Sir James also pursued car makers to fit cyclone exhausts to cut emissions in the 90s but was met with resistance.

Electric cars would have made escape from Florida and Houston ten times more difficult. They are great when you really have no place to go as in Eurostan.
Dyson should drop that uninspired and dead-end idea and start working on the SPHERE! /s (}:-)
The important fact here is a 25,000 rpm motor that is small and lightweight.
Battery technology is nearly universally distributed in the industry.
The car will have air vents in front and a oval shape vent on top of the roof shooting air behind it to boost mpg.... :)
Will it have a built in vacuum cleaner, like the Honda minivan?
It comes with a ‘street sweeper’ option. Cleans your streets while you’re driving...
I know what you’re doing there. ;-)
We bought a Kirby. Better auction that the Dyson we used to have, and Made In America.
Auction= suction
Damned autocorrect.
I’m hardly an expert on vacuums, but the model we bought, which was designed specifically to pick up pet hair and fur etc, does an excellent job.
“where ya gonna dump that battery bud?”
Really. Also, where does the other end of that battery charge cable go? Oh, a fossil fuel powered electricity generating plant? Oh, ok. IMO hydrogen is the way.
Yes except they make hydrogen by electrolysis.
