The Le Mans GTR is based on the T.50 with the same 4.0-liter N/A V12. Gordon Murray Automotive will build just 24 examples of the Le Mans GTR. After premiering at Le Mans, the car will also be displayed at the Goodwood FOS. First previewed in August last year, Gordon Murray’s Le Mans GTR was overshadowed by the limited-run S1 LM, created as a direct tribute to the legendary McLaren F1. Now, it’s the Le Mans GTR that has stepped out into the limelight, celebrating its dynamic debut at Le Mans Classic this past weekend. This is the first time the Le Mans GTR has hit a public track, and it did so in a stunning spec dominated by a deep shade of green. The car was driven by GMA test driver Dario Franchitti and hit the track alongside a T.50s Niki Lauda and a prototype of the T.33 finished in Sentinel Red.

The Le Mans GTR from Gordon Murray Automotive shares many of its components with the T.50 and T.50s. As such, it sports a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated Cosworth V12 producing 654 hp, mated to a six-speed manual transmission that drives the rear wheels. A Unique Design GMA While the Le Mans GTR shares many parts with other GMA models, it looks very different. Not only does it lack the rear-mounted fan of the T.50, but it also doesn’t look like a McLaren F1, unlike the S1 LM. The front end is dominated by stacked headlights, large air intakes, and a carbon-fiber front splitter. It’s also quite a bit longer than a T.50, sporting a distinctive rear end with a large fixed wing, a sleek engine cover, and a huge diffuser. Total production of the Le Mans GTR will be capped at just 24 units. Pricing details haven’t been disclosed. GMA
