Gordon Murray T50 Supercar

One of the most exciting supercars of the year is the Formula One/McLaren F1 design genius Gordon Murray says he's truly 100 percent happy with it.

The T.50 has three seats instead of two and more luggage space than you'd expect. Those three seats are configured jet-fighter style with the driver front and center, offering total unimpeded visibility as you sling the car through corners. 

Murray says it'll be the most responsive production engine ever built, as well, revving from idle to its sky-high redline in three-tenths of a second in neutral. We believe Murray when he says it's the greatest sounding V12 streetcar of all time.

The chassis is a carbon-fiber monocoque tuned for extreme stiffness and torsional rigidity. The doors are a dihedral event to open, and indeed the engine bay and luggage areas can also be accessed through their own set of extravagant gull wings. 




V-Max Boost mode does the same as Streamline mode but uses the car's 48V starter/generator to drive the fan so the fan motor can send its power to the wheels instead. There's a gauge on the dash that shows the level of downforce the fans and diffusers are adding at any given moment.

The interior achieves a McLaren-Esque sparsity and focus, with sporty seats and plenty of legroom all around. There are screens, but no touch screens, the mirrors are digital, and there's Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to handle navigation and control the 10-speaker, 700-Watt Arcam stereo if the sound of a shrieking V12 isn't enough aural stimulation for you.
