I'm looking forward to this one.

Monday 22nd Feb @ 5pm

https://gordonmurrayautomotive.com/

A 3 seat V12 Cosworth Engined car with 650 bhp. Naturally aspirated with a 12,000 rpm redline. With a weight of under 1000kg, I really can't see what's not to like. God only knows what the special track versions will be like later.

Will this be the last ever V12 road car?

The price is a bit of an issue at £2-£3M+ each but should be worth watching the launch.

It was "unveiled" before rofl should be a load more details hopefully with the official launch.

All 100 have sold anyway so it's a bit pointless but I'm still looking forward to it.

Made of an unobtanium and irrelevantium alloy. Destined to be garage queen investments. Have lost total interest. The new Maser and the hybrid McLaren and the 992 GT3 are more interesting in real life terms in my view.

No.

Manual V12? Possibly.

Made a rod for their own back with their artsy typography, everyone’s missing the lowercase s at the end - must be the S model which is the track variant I think.
Is it wise to unveil a better version before you’re even delivered any of the entry level model? I suppose they know better than me!

Early 2023 for the T50.s

The specs I quoted were for the T50. This thing is £3 Million, 25 to be made and it's lighter, more power etc....

Fancy one?

Unfortunately I agree. Won't be seeing many on the road.

We'll I enjoyed watching the Harry's Garage youtube video of this car, it's an amazing car as expected. I'm not sure it sits in the Supercar category really as it's something more than that.

Interesting the hear that some customers who bought the T.50 have also bought a T.50s. Must be nice to find yourself in a position to be able to do that.

This thing is lighter than the outgoing Lotus Elise too!

Akin to the P1 and P1 GTR (invite only to the Owners)

The PH article about it reads just like a Sniffpetrol one.

AFAIK the T.50 is manual, the T.50s is paddle shift.

Yes, I, like a few others didn't initially realise the OP was talking about the track version.
