Listen To The GMA T.33 Prototype V12 Symphony

Forget choirs, gearheads have their own aural masterpiece – the internal combustion symphony. Every engine has its own melody, from the supercharger’s battle cry to the satisfying octave drop of a perfectly timed downshift. But for many, the pinnacle of automotive music is the legendary V12.

Gordon Murray Automotive isn’t just building cars, they’re crafting rolling orchestras. Their latest creation, the T.33, recently took centre stage with racing legend Dario Franchitti at the wheel.

While most manufacturers keep their development process shrouded in secrecy, Gordon Murray Automotive embraces transparency. We saw this with “George,” the mule car for the phenomenal T.50 hypercar. Built during lockdowns, George sported the T.50’s heart – a glorious 3.9L V12 – disguised within an Ultima kit car body. Now, meet “James,” the mule for the upcoming T.33.

Franchitti’s YouTube test drive offers a thrilling glimpse of the T.33. Compared to its sibling, the T.33 carries a few extra pounds and dials back the horsepower from 675 to 615. However, it boasts more low-end torque, translating into a beautifully responsive driving experience.

The T.33 isn’t just about raw power; it’s about a harmonious blend of performance and driver engagement. It’s a testament to Gordon Murray’s philosophy of creating lightweight, driver-focused machines that deliver an unforgettable sensory experience.

Listen To The GMA T.50S V12 Sing At Goodwood

Forget about choosing the right radio station – the GMA T.50S Niki Lauda is a track weapon designed to turn your next race into a personal concert. This limited-edition track-only weapon pays homage to F1 legend Niki Lauda and boasts a screaming Cosworth-built 12,100 rpm 3.9-liter V12 engine.

Ditching road car mufflers and restrictions, the T.50S Niki Lauda promises a soundtrack that will redefine what a supercar can and should sound like.

Designed purely for the track, the T.50S Niki Lauda sheds some weight compared to its road-going cousin. It also gets a motorsport-inspired upgrade in the gearbox department, swapping the standard T.50’s manual for a lightning-fast X-Trac paddle shift.

Taking inspiration from Gordon Murray’s championship-winning Brabham BT46B “fan car” of the 1970s, the T.50S Niki Lauda retains the central driving position for a pure, driver-focused experience. Unlike the road car, however, this version ditches the passenger seats altogether – shedding unnecessary weight for ultimate performance.

Forget about street legality – the T.50S Niki Lauda prioritizes raw power and exhilarating track sessions. But worry not, noise ordinance warriors – GMA will provide custom exhaust mufflers to ensure your sonic symphony complies with local track regulations.
