This is the 2024 Gordon Murray Automotive T.50, finished in a wonderful shade of orange with blue accents over a blue interior. If you haven’t yet heard of this fantastic automobile, the Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) T.50 was created and designed by South African-born British designer of the McLaren F1, Formula One race cars, and numerous other projects, Gordon Murray. As the founder and CEO of Gordon Murray Automotive, Gordon Murray set out to develop a modern day interpretation of the iconic McLaren F1, the car most motorcar aficionados claim to be the greatest automobile of all time. The T.50 will be built in just 100 production units for the entire world, with 13 prototypes which were constructed before August 2020 to comply with regulations. At just 2,174lbs, the T.50 weighs in around 66lbs lighter than a McLaren F1, and interestingly, as you can see, there is a 8.5 kW 40 cm aerodynamic fan integrated into the rear side of the bodywork, which is powered by a 48 volt electrical motor. The purpose-built fan takes inspiration from the Brabham BT46B Formula One car, and its sole purpose is to improve the car’s ground effect. Many noticeable elements are directly shared with the famous McLaren F1, such as the central seating position, the V12 engine, a six-speed manual gearbox, dihedral wing doors and fan assisted aerodynamics. GMA will produce an additional 25 performance-oriented racing variants of the T.50 known as the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50S Niki Lauda which will include improved aerodynamics and power.
