LONDON: Gordon Murray Automotive, sister-business of visionary vehicle design and engineering company Gordon Murray Design, will launch a T.50 supercar.
The spiritual successor to the Murray-devised McLaren F1, the T.50 will be the purest, lightest, most driver-focused supercar ever built.
It will be a two doors, three seater mid-engined, rear-wheel drive powered by a naturally-aspirated 4.0-litre V12 engine.
The unit will be capable of an extraordinary 12,100rpm – unparalleled in a V12 road car – and 650hp to deliver unmatched power-to-weight, with maximum torque at 450Nm.
Professor Gordon Murray CBE, Chairman of Gordon Murray Group, said: “An unflinching dedication to lightweighting, highly-advanced active aerodynamics and world-leading standards of advanced engineering will ensure the T.50 rewrites the supercar rulebook.
Just 100 owners of the T.50 will experience Murray’s vision – a supercar inspired by his 50 years at the pinnacle of Formula One and automotive industry engineering and design.
The T.50 adopts the same, iconic three-seat format that Murray pioneered for the F1, with the driver benefitting from a central ‘jet-fighter-style’ driving position.
The new car builds on the F1’s highly-advanced aerodynamics, with intelligent management of underbody airflow coupled with a 400mm fan at the rear.
The fan actively controls underbody airflow – a feature Murray famously premiered on the Brabham BT46B Formula One ‘Fan Car’.
The T.50, by Gordon Murray Automotive will be priced in excess of £2 million (RM10.57 million) before taxes.
