help Gordon Murray Automotive FAQ
When was Gordon Murray Automotive founded?
Gordon Murray Automotive was established in 2017 by Gordon Murray, the legendary designer behind the Brabham BT46B Fan Car and the McLaren F1. The company was created to build ultra-lightweight, driver-focused sports cars independent of large corporate manufacturers.
What makes the Gordon Murray T.50 unique compared to modern supercars?
The T.50 features a massive, 400mm ground-effect fan at the rear, inspired by Murray's 1978 Brabham F1 car, to generate incredible aerodynamic downforce. Furthermore, it utilizes a central driving position—just like the McLaren F1—to provide the ultimate driver's visibility.
What kind of engine powers the Gordon Murray T.50?
The T.50 is powered by a custom-built, naturally aspirated 3.9-liter V12 engine developed in collaboration with Cosworth. This incredible motor redlines at a staggering 12,100 rpm, making it the highest-revving engine ever fitted to a production road car.
What is the name of Gordon Murray Automotive's track-only car?
The track-only sibling to the T.50 is called the T.50s Niki Lauda, named after the late Formula 1 champion. It strips out road-legal equipment and adds a massive fixed wing to create up to 1,500 kg of downforce.
