The Legendary Gordon Murray teases the GMD T.50.

The purest, lightest and the most driver-focused supercar ever!

June 7 ,2019

To start with the man behind the Design curtain, the legendary Gordon Murray who has earlier designed to the same engineering standards as the driver-focused McLaren F1.

The advanced body of the GMD (Gordon Murray Design) has a Mid-engine and rear-wheel-drive layout, famed central driving position and H-pattern gearbox all key to a matchless experience behind the wheel.All-new V12 will be the highest-revving engine ever used in a production car that will produce unrivalled power-to-weight; all over weight will be just 980kg.

The development of T.50 is at an advanced stage, with full production and customer deliveries set to commence in early 2022. Just 100 owners of the T.50 will experience Murray’s vision – a supercar inspired by his 50 years at the pinnacle of Formula One and automotive industry engineering and design.

Professor Gordon Murray CBE, Chairman of Gordon Murray Group, said: “An unflinching dedication to light weighting, highly-advanced active aerodynamics and world-leading standards of advanced engineering will ensure the T.50 rewrites the supercar rulebook. Our experienced team is applying the same uncompromising approach to design and engineering that shaped every facet of the F1, and they are able to deliver substantial improvements over that car in every meaningful way.”

50 years of Murray’s career in motorsport and automotive design and engineering will make the best of the limited supercar to unleash the idea and power of mechanism through his newest T.50. This creation will weigh significantly less than any current supercar ever made, more power to this will be added by its advanced aerodynamics, calculative design and the purest of what an enthusiast might get for his money.

Taking Murray’s ground-effect to an all-new level with intelligent management of underbody airflow coupled with a 400mm fan at the rear. The fan actively controls underbody airflow – a feature Murray famously premiered on the Brabham BT46B Formula One ‘Fan Car’.

It will be powered by a compact and light, naturally-aspirated, all-new V12 engine. The unit will be capable of an extraordinary 12,100rpm – unparalleled in a V12 road car – and 650hp to deliver unmatched power-to-weight. However, Murray says: “I have absolutely no interest in chasing records for top speed or acceleration. Our focus is instead on delivering the purest, most rewarding driving experience of any supercar ever built – but, rest assured, it will be quick.”

With the increasing traffic rate will the supercars be Quick or fast? GMD has chosen to be Quick with its newest creation T.50 with only 100 exclusive models to be produced. Finally, the new generation owners might get their hands on the purest and lightest machines hereafter. Will this change the definition of supercars to be built in future or speed would still be a thrill?
