Three-seat, central-driver V12 supercar from the designer of the F1 — naturally aspirated, manual, and built to a kerb weight under 1,000 kg.
Revealed in 2020 and entering customer deliveries from 2022, the T.50 is the spiritual successor to the McLaren F1, designed by Professor Gordon Murray under his own marque. It uses a bespoke Cosworth-developed 3.9-litre naturally-aspirated V12 producing 663 bhp at a 12,100 rpm redline, paired exclusively with a 6-speed Xtrac manual transmission. The car uses a three-seat carbon-fibre tub with the driver centrally positioned, and a 400 mm rear fan inspired by Murray's Brabham BT46B Formula 1 design that actively manages underbody airflow.
Production is capped at 100 road cars plus 25 track-focused T.50s Niki Lauda derivatives. Every build slot was allocated before unveiling.
The defining naturally-aspirated, three-pedal, three-seat supercar of the modern era and the explicit modern reinterpretation of the F1.
| Variant | Years | Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| T.50 (road) | 2022– | 100 | Manual; central driving position; rear fan aero. |
| T.50s Niki Lauda | 2023– | 25 | Track-focused; lower weight; uprated aero. |
Start with identity, paperwork and originality. For the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50, the strongest cars have continuous ownership history, matching numbers where applicable, original books and tools, factory build documentation and evidence of work by manufacturer-approved specialists. Original paint, GMA-recommended specification, low mileage, complete delivery file.
Bespoke Cosworth V12 with an extreme rev limit; service intervals are short and factory-only. A proper pre-purchase inspection includes cold-start behaviour, ECU diagnostics and fault-code history (where applicable), leak-down or compression testing, underbody photography, suspension and chassis inspection, brake condition and a long enough road test to expose heat-related faults. Deferred maintenance on a car of this class is almost always more expensive than buying a better-sorted example.
Use a paint-depth gauge, lift access and a specialist familiar with the model's factory panel gaps and finish standards. Collector value is dramatically affected by structural repairs, refinished panels, poor paintwork and missing factory trim or option content. Documented cosmetic refresh is acceptable; concealed accident or fire damage must be priced severely.
Configuration, allocation pedigree and continuous GMA service. Originality is the entire investment thesis. Specification, colour, options and limited-build variants move values significantly. Buy the best-documented example in the most desirable specification you can justify, rather than a tired example of a rarer derivative that will need years of corrective work.
Regional ranges authored independently — each reflects its local market, not an FX conversion
Budget annually even if the car is used sparingly. Fluids age, tyres and date-coded rubber components must be replaced regardless of mileage, and stored cars need exercise. A documented maintenance rhythm protects both reliability and resale value.
GMA-only; the engine, gearbox and fan-aero hardware are not serviceable elsewhere. Before purchase, confirm parts availability for model-specific bodywork, electronics, gearbox and engine components. A discounted car waiting on unobtainable parts or a factory service slot is rarely a saving in collector ownership.
Each region quoted in its local currency — independent market readings, not FX conversions
Secondary trades are very thin and effectively private. The combination of Gordon Murray's authorship, the central driving position, manual gearbox and capped production gives a structurally strong long-term position; short-term values track the broader hypercar segment.

Capped, Gordon Murray-authored, manual, naturally-aspirated V12 with explicit F1 lineage. Among the most defensible long-term hypercar positions.
