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. Selected milestones ### A bloodline, not a list. 1. 2017 Gordon Murray Automotive is formed Gordon Murray establishes a manufacturer to develop and build low-volume road cars under his own name. 2. 2019 The T.50 programme is announced GMA sets out its first production car around a central driving position, low mass and a naturally aspirated V12. 3. 2020 The T.50 is revealed The complete car is shown in August; all 100 road-car allocations are spoken for within 48 hours of the presentation. 4. 2023 Customer production begins The first production T.50 is completed and shown publicly at The Quail, beginning the 100-car customer run. 5. 2024 Production moves to Highams Park GMA transfers T.50 assembly to its new Surrey headquarters and purpose-built Vehicle Production Centre. 6. 2025 The road-car run closes Production of the 100 customer T.50s concludes before the line changes over to the track-only T.50s. 7. 2026 A second public sale sets the benchmark Broad Arrow sells chassis 009 for US$8.035 million at a single-car California Mille auction. 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 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. ![Gordon Murray crest, 2017–](https://hiconium.com/images/marques/gma.svg) 2017– The flag lockup: navy and green fields, a racing stripe, the family mermaid.
