The house

A modern analogue car built around low mass and the central driving position.

Gordon Murray designed Brabham’s fan car and McLaren’s F1 — then spent twenty-five years thinking about what he would do differently.

The T.50 of 2023 is that answer: a 986 kg three-seater with a central driving position, a 12,100 rpm Cosworth V12 and a 400 mm fan pulling air from under the floor. No hybrid weight, no turbos, a manual gearbox.

One hundred were built, every one allocated before the first delivery. Like the F1 before it, the T.50 skipped depreciation entirely — the market treats it as the F1’s heir, because that is precisely what it was engineered to be.

Founded: 2017; Gordon Murray established the Surrey manufacturer a decade after forming his separate design consultancy.

T.50 output: 100 road cars; Customer production began in 2023 and the factory scheduled the complete series for completion by the end of July 2025.

Defining layout: Central seat, manual V12; The T.50 combines three-seat packaging, a six-speed manual, a naturally aspirated 3.9-litre Cosworth V12 and a 400 mm aerodynamic fan.

Documented sale: US$8.035m; Broad Arrow sold T.50 chassis 009 at the California Mille in April 2026, the model's second public auction result.

What defines Gordon Murray

Mass before headline power

GMA reduces weight to sharpen steering, braking and response rather than using output alone as the measure of performance.

Mechanical control

The T.50 keeps a manual gearbox, three pedals and prominent analogue controls between the driver and the car.

Aerodynamics beneath the body

The fan, diffusers and active systems manage airflow while the upper body remains free of large fixed wings.

The mark

The badge off his first car.

The mark GMA revealed in 2017 is a redraw of the badge on Gordon Murray’s very first car — the T.1, the IGM Ford Special he built and raced in South Africa in 1967, half a century before the company existed.

Inside it: a mermaid with a wheel for a tail, a device Murray says his family has carried for a thousand years. One mark, never changed — the marque is younger than its customers’ other cars.
