The T.50, Gordon Murray's supercar, is revealed for the first time

Gordon Murray himself, the creator of the iconic McLaren F1, announced some time ago that he was working on a stoic project with which he would replace the English hypercar. Now we have been witnesses to and learned about some of the characteristics and the colossal styling the T.50 will present, the name Murray has given to his latest offspring. With this premise, the acclaimed designer arrives ready to once again mark a before and after in the automotive industry, where the T.50 aims to become a true marvel of exclusivity and sportiness.

And indeed, one only needs to look at its outrageous design to realise that Mr. Murray did not cut corners when engendering his offspring. The arduous aerodynamic work is reflected in its structural styling, but it has gone much further than that. There will be as many as six different modes that will allow the driver to modify the aerodynamics at will and depending on the circumstances.

The most striking element of the T.50 is, without a doubt, the 400 mm fan that guards the rear. Besides forming part of the car’s own aerodynamic system, it also has the task of taking part in cooling the engine which, given the mechanical layout that brings Gordon Murray’s supercar to life, is more than necessary.

It will come into action above all with the most radical aerodynamic mode activated, which hides behind the name Vmax. This not only improves the T.50’s behaviour, but also causes the total output to rise to 700 CV thanks to the intervention of a small 48 V electric motor.

But we must not underestimate the figures the T.50 delivers under normal conditions, which come from a 3.9-litre naturally aspirated V12 built in collaboration with Cosworth and that is in danger of extinction. This engine produces 650 CV with a rev limit of up to 12,100 rpm, a speed that, until not long ago, was reserved for Formula 1 cars.

Production will be limited to 100 units, all of which will have a starting price of two million pounds before taxes. With this premise, Gordon Murray wants to shake up the supercar sector with the T.50, a model that not only arrives backed by significant engineering work complemented by unprecedented exclusivity, but also to carry on the legacy of the iconic McLaren F1.
