Gordon Murray T.50’s V12 Sounds Better Than A Squad Of V10 F1 Cars

The nearly six-minute-long video showcases the 654-hp V12 in various states, under heavy throttle load, holding steady, and at various points in the rev range. It’s an amazing soundtrack with a tone of musicality and a high-pitch scream that is utterly remarkable. At the end, we even get to hear a flyby at full-tilt from trackside, which sounds even better than the onboard footage.

The T.50 isn’t the most powerful modern supercar, but it combines its outputs with a low curb weight and a masterfully tuned chassis to deliver exhilarating performance. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an Xtrac six-speed manual transmission which makes this one of the most engaging cars around. As the T.50 laps the Goodwood circuit, one can almost feel the 5.7-inch rear-mounted ground-effect fan and active underbody aerodynamics working, while the old-school F1 cars struggled for grip in the back. The T.50 is possibly the ultimate ICE vehicle, and we’re massive fans.
