- The Gordon Murray T.50 drives development laps on the Top Gear test track.
- The T.50 is equipped with a 3.9-liter V12 built by Cosworth, which can turn up to 12,100 rpm. In this video, the engine speed is limited to 5,000 rpm.
- The T.50 is full of Murray-inspired Easter eggs celebrating some of his past projects.
The Gordon Murray T.50 is approaching its entry onto the public roads. That means there is likely a lot of testing going on at Murray’s company. In view of the hype about the upcoming, spiritual McLaren F1 successor, it obviously only makes sense to bring a highlight role of the T.50 to the track. And here is exactly that.
For those who are not up to date, Gordon Murrays T.50 is a Cosworth V12-powered supercar inspired by some of Murray’s most notable accomplishments. The most obvious nod to his legacy is the seat layout: this three-seat supercar is an obvious recall to Murray’s work on the McLaren F1. The T.50 also has a rear-mounted fan, a nod to Murray’s work on the legendary Brabham BT46 “Fan Car”. For its value, this fan is electrically powered and functional.
Murray’s résumé speaks for itself, and we have little doubt about his car prep skills, so it’s great to see this behind-the-scenes look at the development process of the T.50. While this video doesn’t delve too deeply into the details of how to develop such a supercar, it is an entertaining watch. Oh yeah, and we hear Cosworth V12 sing at 5,000 rpm before all 100 cars hit private collections.
Will the Gordon Murray T.50 be as special as the McLaren F1? Or will it be a mark on the radar of automotive history? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
