First fully bespoke commission from GMSV's Bespoke pillar — tribute to the 1995 Le Mans-winning McLaren F1 GTR.
Unveiled at The Quail in August 2025, the Gordon Murray Automotive S1 LM is the first fully bespoke commission from GMSV's Bespoke pillar — a tribute to the McLaren F1 GTR's 1995 Le Mans win, on heavily reworked T.50 architecture with a central driving position.
The debut of GMSV's Bespoke pillar and the most personal Gordon Murray Automotive commission yet. Programme provenance, chassis identity and continuous factory service documentation are the defining factors.
| Variant | Years | Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| S1 LM | 2025–present | — | 5 units. 4.3L Cosworth V12 (enlarged from the T.50's 4.0L), ~700+ bhp, 12,100 rpm, six-speed manual. Chassis #1 sold as a build slot for $20,630,000 at RM Sotheby's Las Vegas, 21 November 2025 — a record for a new car at auction excluding charity sales. Per GMSV/Hagerty/Magneto. |
Any purchase should begin with Gordon Murray Automotive at Dunsfold. Confirm the car's GMSV pillar (SV Design or Bespoke), programme status and delivery documentation against factory records. For the S1 LM specifically, confirm the car is one of the 5 units, verify the Bespoke pillar programme documentation, the heavily reworked T.50 architecture and the central driving position against factory records.
The Cosworth-developed V12 revs to 12,100 rpm and is paired with a six-speed manual. Confirm engine and gearbox service records, and any factory-managed rebuild work, against Gordon Murray Automotive and Cosworth documentation.
Verify body materials, aero configuration and any bespoke coachwork detailing against factory build documentation.
Continuous factory service records and GMSV programme documentation are the defining provenance items. Confirm all service, upgrade and repair work traces back to Gordon Murray Automotive.
