Gordon Murray unveils the T.50 and partners with Racing Point F1

Gordon Murray and his eponymous brand presented the first images of the T.50, a supercar which will be developed with the help of Racing Point F1, Lawrence's team Stroll providing Gordon Murray Automotive with its wind tunnel.

Enough to allow according to the designer responsible for the Brabham F1 single-seaters in the 70s and 80s and having worked on the famous McLaren MP4/3 and 4 from the late 80s, to obtain the car with the best aerodynamic efficiency ever seen.

Major feature of this T.50, a 400 mm fan placed at the rear of the car, obviously reminiscent of the famous and short-lived car Brabham BT46, and major player in the ground effect from which the supercar benefits.

“Coupled with active underbody aerodynamics and dynamic rear wings, the revolutionary aerodynamic system allows the T.50 to achieve significantly higher aerodynamic performance and control than a conventional ground effect supercar contributing to an experience unrivaled driving experience. » specifies the brand.

Several aerodynamic “modes” will be available including “Auto mode” (the car automatically optimizing its aero possibilities according to the speed and reactions of the driver), “Braking mode” (where the rear flaps automatically deploy in conjunction with the use of the fan).

The other four modes will be deployed at the pilot's request, ranging from "High Downforce" to "Streamline" (10% drag reduction) and "Vmax mode".

Mechanically speaking, this T.50 features a 12° 65-liter Cosworth V4 that can reach peaks in terms of engine speed (12 rpm expected), and offering 000 hp to lucky owners. The hundred examples, which will exceed €700, have already found buyers, with the official reveal of the car scheduled for May 2.

The first deliveries are hoped for January 2022.
