In 2017, Murray based Gordon Murray Automotive and a design consultancy agency known as Gordon Murray Design. The Design facet of issues was concerned with the rebirth of TVR, but in addition a Sensible-esque metropolis automobile known as the T.25 with an electrical model known as the T.27. However Gordon Murray Automotive was chargeable for the T.50 – the true non secular successor to the McLaren F1 (sorry, Speedtail.)
It is an insane piece of engineering and fairly possible the thunderous finale for the fanatic automobile as we all know it now. The T.50 is powered by a naturally-aspirated Cosworth-built 3.9-liter V12 that revs out to 12,100 rpm, making 650 hp on the best way. And, it is solely fitted with a handbook from the manufacturing facility. In true Murray custom, it is not simply quick and loud. The engine weighs simply 392 kilos, and the automobile 2,174 kilos in whole. The mathematics delivers a automobile with a power-to-weight ratio of 672 hp per ton and a particular output of 163.7 hp per liter.
That places the T.50 in the identical class as hypercars just like the Aston Martin Valkyrie and the Mercedes-AMG One. Besides it has a handbook transmission. Following the T.50 would be the US highway authorized T.33 super-GT. If that wasn’t sufficient insane vehicles for Murray to be concerned with proper now, he additionally has a hand within the subsequent TVR Griffith due as a 2024 mannequin.
