Gordon Murray T50

Just love the no BS.
Perfection.

I’m hoping to have a look round the factory in the not too far distant future. I think it’s going to be an awesome machine.

 

[D Walker]

Great, I’ll watch that tomorrow on big screen9

 

[Devonboy]

Thought Harry did an excellent job, proper old school interview that didnt pander to the lowest common denominator or worry about our attention spans! The car looks epic...

Thank you

No silly 20"+ wheels, thick rimmed steering wheels etc.

Watched this last night - It looks like it's going to be one heck of a car!

 

[JonW]

Really enjoyed watching that... thanks for sharing.

 

[ChrisQP09]

A car with thrust! What’s not to like?

No Spoilers or front splitters.

It looks stunning, although for the price tag you'd hope so. Having said that I'm not keen on the fan at the rear but maybe it'll grow on me.

If I won the lottery I'd have one in a heartbeat. As it is, I'll just have to look longingly at it and wish I'd tried harder at school/made better life choices!

 

[BennyD]

I don’t like the fan either, but it will become the car’s iconic feature.

 

[Motorsport3]

It's an incredibly expensive toy, but Murray does make a valid point about the central driving seat. Why should anyone have to pay £MM for that benefit?

 

[JSP214]

Yes, agreed.

However, I guess there’s always the risk that as time passes it could look dated?

With only a 100 being built, it doesn’t matter. Like the 250GTO and Mac F1, because of the history and the very limited numbers they will always be worth a massive premium. Also, the fact that the F1 and T50 are so closely linked the T50 will become the car of choice for those that can’t afford an F1. If I had the money, I’d have 2.

Its a shame about the fan as other then that its stunning and what an achievement. Shame they couldn't have put the fan lower so to not spoil the flowing lines.

Oh yes, it'll be a prime example of "money makes money"

For those who've got a couple of million to spare and a temperature/humidity controlled garage will be able to just park it up and wait while it increases in value ten fold.

Having said that of course GM says in the interview that F1's were largely well used, (comparatively), by their owners. Which is nice to hear, as what's the point of all those R+D and engineering man hours if it's just going to sit in a garage? In fact with seats in the back for the kids, I'd have it as my daily driver!

 

[JonW]

It's a bit of a pity that a car designed to be the best driving car ever will probably largely end up in car collections and driven very sparingly...

I wonder if I could persuade someone to lend me £2.5m on the hope that in 5 years time it might be worth £10m
