For me it's Gordon Murray's T.50.

Cosworth derived NA 11,000+ RPM V12.
McLaren F1 successor - Mid engine. Central seating and air intake over the roof.
Ground effect - Murray going back to his signature Brabham fan car innovative routes for something genuinely new on a road car.

I'm ambivalent about the T.50... it basically seems to be little more than a mild warming-over of the F1 concept (with added vacuum cleaner technology). It even looks very similar.

I'm more interested in the Aston Martin Valkyrie and the Lotus Evija.

Valkyrie by far then the project one

the chiron super sport is up there but mildly disapointing despite the 300mph+, I expected more power and weight loss.

everything from ferrari and lambo I find boring atm

if I could afford the T50, then that would certainly be right up there

As I unfortunately can't, not sure if it even counts as a supercar, but I am probably most interested in - if - Ferrari produces a V12 hybrid successor to the GTC4 Lusso based on the SF90 tech - that would hopefully take care of being able to drive a V12 for the next 10 years or so even in city centers

Valkyrie, then Valhalla. Adrian Newey game-changers.

AMG ONE is hobbled by its adherence to F1 limitations.

Didn't think of that but good observation. It's actually Greenwich Median Time.

Rimac C2, GFG Style Kangaroo, Pininfarina Battista, L Evija, Nextev NioEP9

All out my price range but can you see a trend?! The Kangaroo would sort me to a tee with UK roads. Losing the buzz with ice getmecoat

No cap on production.

In terms of journalists, probably mid 2021 would be my guess.

I really hope it gets glowing reviews and they can expand, it's one of the most intresting cars around and Jim's story is very cool. I think Enzo himself would be proud

I have talked to a coupe of people who have driven the race version prototypes and they were very positive

Really excited about this car and reading your thoughts on it once delivered. I hope to be in a position to order one before they stop making them - I think this could be my perfect forever car and could be a one-stop solution for most of my driving needs/wants (track, manual, mid-Engined, “specialness”) therefore replace other cars (fund some of the pp that way)

Edit: of course for that to be the case, it will need to be EU road legal as well - not sure if that’s the case/if a US road legal car will get TÜV, MOT or similar without issues

I love Gordons new F1 definitely most interesting supercar of the moment. I feel her proportions not as nice as F1 though. Maybe need to see one in flesh but around rear three quarter and mid sections where the F1 looks hard as nails like a lithe toned athlete this unfortunately looks slighty effeminate on the video at least. The big fan only adds to the awkwardness. Looks under tyred aesthetically although I'm positive its not mechanically but easy enough to fix I'd be sticking some BBS F1 with 305s on the rear and 245 at the front personally or insisting Gordon makes my wheel and tyre package in that size not weedy 295 and 235 I think. I'm sure these doubts would all disappear when I see one! When do customers start getting them?


Whats the other competition saw the Lambo Sian Supercars soon to be released polar opposite in philosophy. Costing $2-3m all 63 are sold out.

I asked Jim about making them EU road legal. Its a bit of chicken and egg, if there's enough demand, they are happy to do it, just not sure if you get the demand without having done it already. Suggest you reach out to them and express interest.
