Gordon Murray Design T50

Ummm, as technologically magnificent as they are, they do nothing for me. In fact they’re rather ugly. Sorry Gordon.

Only the T50 has the fan.
T33 hardtop and Spider have no fan.

Nope, they all have fans and active diffusers/under body aero. The T33 has an internal fan instead of the external fan on the T50. One of the reasons I prefer the T33, just think it looks better without that fan at the back.

Pointless cars all of them, engineering project yes, cars that will be driven, no.

They'll all be bought for collections and barely see the light of day.

Gordon Murray would be better off building cars and only selling every 10th one, but keeping the others in storage for 10-15 years in which time they’ll be worth £30M each

His personal museum will be worth an absolute fortune when he dies. Lots of absolute one off specials from throughout his career.

Watched a few T50 videos last night, amazing sound.

Amazingly he sold his personal F1 not long ago. I guess he got an offer he couldn't refuse, lol. That, and he says the T50 is the F1 he always wanted to build.

I wouldn't mind one of each myself, lol

Class machines, the engineering and finish is peerless but like all modern supercars, virtually useless as a performance road car really unless you are happy to use 1/100th of the performance. In which case, why bother?
More use as an investment than a car.

With F1's changing hands at £20m with an original purchase price of £650k, I'm sure the T50's will be up there in a few years too.

Murray is the ultimate car designer, no real doubt about that and if he can make money from the T50's and other models, fair play to him.

I think I’m the only one that doesn’t like the sound

I agree. I could stick it for 5 or 10 minutes perhaps, but it would be just annoying after that.

11 T.50’s plus the Ultima with the Cosworth V12 in the back and the T.33 Spider are at the Goodwood 80th Members meeting this weekend. My first time seeing one in the flesh. The back is much better in person and the fan isn’t as in your face as it seems in photos. All the T.50’s here are prototypes of some degree and was good to see the progression of the car while walking along them.

Got a signature from Gordon on possibly the best photo in the programme.

 

[svensktoppen]

Excellent, you'll have a great time there. Best show of the year

The engine looks very impressive, the rest is a little underwhelming.

 

[RallyCiaran]

They must have spent a serious amount of money developing those cars, that is fantastic.

A couple of video clips I got of them over the weekend.
