Four years in development, the V-12-powered T.50 supercar is now ready for deliveries.
is now ready for deliveries, roughly four years after the V-12 supercar was first announced.
The final stage of the development was a sign-off drive by company founder Gordon Murray. GMA has released a video showing Murray during his sign-off drive, and it's clear from his emotions that the T.50 will hold its own against other supercars on the market, and possibly also Murray's last V-12 supercar, the McLaren F1.
Murray calls the T.50 the true successor to the F1. Similarities include a central driving position, a lightweight carbon-fiber tub, a high-revving V-12 , and a 6-speed manual transmission. There's also similar styling across both cars. “This really is the next F1, and that was my intention,” Murray said after the drive. “The T.50 had to deliver all that car did, but better—and that's what it does.”
Where the T.50 is unique is at the rear, where you'll find a large fan. The fan is used to change the aerodynamic properties of the car, with its addition enabling Murray to avoid attaching huge wings and spoilers. Murray famously applied a similar but much simpler design on the Brabham BT46B “fan car” that Niki Lauda drove to victory in the 1978 Formula 1 Swedish Grand Prix.
