GMA T.50: Gordon Murray's new three-seater supercar unveiled
…
The covers have finally come off Gordon Murray’s latest and possibly last supercar, the GMA T.50.
The legendary former Formula One designer, now aged 74 – attributed with creating the iconic McLaren F1 road car in the 1990s – has released images of his new three-seater supercar in the UK overnight.
Murray says the GMA T.50 will likely be his "last analogue supercar", a hint to the possibility of switching to electric power if he were to come up with another creation.
Gordon Murray is readying a successor to the legendary McLaren F1, combining some old-fashioned Formula 1 technology with modern materials and a high-revving 3.9-litre V12.
The GMA T.50 is being billed as the 'purest, lightest, most driver-focused supercar ever' by Murray, who's renowned as one of the most innovative engineers ever to grace the Formula 1 paddock. Just 100 will be built, and they'll be priced from £2 million ($3.64 million) when they're delivered in 2022.
Monterey Car Week is home to some of the rarest, most expensive metal on earth. A lot of that metal sits still, shining under the Californian sun as judges go over it with a fine-tooth comb, searching for anything that might make them less than perfect.
Along with the stationary display, though, some (crazy or wonderful, depending on your perspective) owners let their cars loose on Laguna Seca, treating spectators to a rare look at their priceless vehicles.
