I was honoured to work there & so sad my health went wrong & I can no longer work at all now. The engineering on the T50 is just unbelievable, it's another GM work of art. I have been fortunate to work on quite a few car projects, including the XJ220 & the SLR. The T50 is design & engineering perfection. So pleased to see it's success. Best wishes to all my friends at GMA.
Get well soon mate. Thanks for making the cars we all dream about.
Hope things get better for you. Best Wishes!
Sorry to hear, Best wishes!
What was the work you did on these vehicles? What's your forte?
Congrats on the cars, wish you all the best mate.
In the words of Dr Ferdinand Porsche "I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself." Well done GMA.
Same as my thought
Hahaha... so true ❣️👌🏼😅
Ferdi put the engine of a sports car in the boot and spent resources trying to fix it
@@jesuschrist2284
Porsche used to claim the 911 had 'unique driving characteristics'.
Going into a sharp corner at anything above 50mph in the old style 911 would definitely be described as unique.
Well, the man that made the McLaren F1 just mad another F1 but better
I love how Gordon tries not to smile, but he cant help it. The sound of the engine just makes you smile of joy.
Wdym he was just smiling
His smile was fantastic!!
@@Tetrathegod that smile at 8:49, i am sure thats what he means.
the same smile every petrolhead has when driving or riding something amazing
Yeah, that sound.... Thats why no EV ever will be an enthusiast vehicle... EV:s lacks "soul"... The engine sound is def a big part of the experience... 😍😍😍
He’s referring to when GMs smiling and trying to not crack a big grin, but then he does.
That was great
The fact that he chose to display the Elan and Mk1 Cortina in his driveway says a lot about his philosophy of what makes a car fun to drive. Legend.
Yes. You're so right, I never thought I'd meet you here. How have you been doing?😊
Gordon is an utter star 🙂
Seeing Gordon’s reaction at 8:54 tells me everything I need to know about this car.
Congratulations everyone involved.
100%
i want to comment like this... but somebody must have done it....
Yep. 8:49 to 8:55 is all you need to see. Job done.
Personally I feel Gordon has a practical idea for a car designer
So in tune with the car... Gordons eyebrows were in sync the tach. 😂 A stunning sounding car.
Thanks to the engineers and minds who made this come true and to the owners who are willing to comit the money to keep these projects alive.
Judging by the high quality of your extended reviews and commentary it would be awesome if you guys could go out to their factory to do a run down on the car, I don't think Jack will be sliding this one on B roads though! Probably one of the last great ICE hyper cars, and it's manual stick shift to boot.
@@e2rqey We have a big one on NSX (gen1) coming which should be special if we can get it finished.
@@anydaynow01 I wonder if anyone will sneak T50s in the USA?
@@savagegeese Looking forward to it! Glad I found your channel, I definitely have plenty of content from you to work my way through until then. Good luck and hopefully you're able to get it done!
@savagegeese looking forward to your 'shope' segment on this thing.
08:54 brought a tear to my eye. A master at work, gaining true joy from his wonderful creation. As a teenager I loved Gordon's cars, without knowing who was behind them. I have belatedly come to know him via this channel and Late Brake Show, and it has been a pleasure to see these recent cars coming to fruition.
I was waiting for that moment.
Experiencing his own product, approving it with a smile.
Glad to be alive to see a 2022-2023 version of the F1.
If it makes this man smile you know it's an engineering masterpiece
I remember this project when it was nothing more than a drawing on some paper, and to see it come to life is just amazing. I am utterly speechless. Amazing job guys. This is one for the history books. 👍
It will almost unquestionably be the best road car of all time.
Under a tonne and over 12,000 revs.
Compare that with what other manufacturers are doing: pointless, unusable power and huge amounts of weight.
I think it was joke or speculate when see that drow for a first time, and when rear was publshed a think its fake render)
These wonderful responses are making me cry happy tears! Thank you all. I was just a buyer, but an utter car nut 🙂 & have been so fortunate to spend my working life with such lovely vehicles. And I was able to work with amazing people. And as history shows .. shit happens. Whatever. My heartfelt thanks for the kind comments. Take care everyone
@@julianevans9548 And the sound of the engine ... just WOW
@@jezzter4293 and you sir...?
Gordon’s smile while giving it a blip, fantastic.
Well done Sir
Most small car companies go bust before they can really shine, I’m glad that Gordon Murray Automotive isn’t one of those companies, it’s a testament to the efforts of Gordon Murray himself and everyone involved in the T.50’s development, I’m excited for what’s next in the world of Gordon Murray
When the F1 came out I was almost a teenager. It's always been the ultimate car for me. Today, watching Gordon smile as he drives the next generation brought tears to my eyes. beautiful car, congratulations on another monumental moment Gordon and team.
Same...
Ditto, F1 is the epitome among the holy grails
I was born within the development of the F1, I fell in love with the car because of Need For Speed High Stakes McLaren F1 GTR, there is no other car that looks so good even to this day to my eyes
With every new hyper car seemingly increasing in size to make the car handle due to the power and weight this is sooooo refreshing. And the sound??? My lord. The F1 was a benchmark that is almost impossible to replicate but if anyone can do it it’s Gordon. What a genius! I don’t think it’s the most beautiful car in the world but it must be top on almost everything else. I sincerely hope Gordon becomes a ‘Sir’ for his services to the automotive industry. Absolutely mind boggling.
At 56 I am now fabricating a lot of my own car and motorcycle projects. Gordon Inspires me to do more and more before my time here is up. I imagine I will build cool stuff until I'm really really old. It keeps me young.
Gordon is 77 something and has plans for 2033 and beyond. He works like crazy even now.
RUclips?
56, you still have a long way.
Do you have your own Company?
Now we are talking!!!!
A real sportscar: manual V12, super low weight, beautiful mechanical details and much much more. Congratulations to Gordon Murray and the entire GMA Team!!!
Yeah true and affordable too..
@@Ex-Pear-Rocker when compared to a Maclaren F1 it certainly is at 1/10th of the cost!
@@reginaldbowls7180 Yes that's the point I was making.
@@Ex-Pear-Rocker glad I could elaborate 🙏
Never Bored Listening The Sound of The Engine.... Gordon Murray 💜
Congrats to the entire GMA team! In a world of 1000+HP showy hypercars, for me, this tops them all. T50 is THE car. I'm very happy for anyone that gets to drive this masterpiece.
The word genius is one of the most overused words in language. However Gordon Murray is a literal genius and a visionary. He's literally created the greatest road car in the world TWICE! You and your team deserve all the success and praise in the world. It's been a pleasure watching the T50 unfold.
I think you should be looking up olin Chapman for that.
He did the same many times over on a shoe lace. Didn't live in a stately mansion either. Just wonder what Colin Chapman could have done if all the drug lords and billionaires these hyper cars are sold to were around in his days.
Wow....I'm speechless...The sounds, the styling, the center seating position. No buttons on the wheel, 100% driver focused. Dario, Gordon, beautiful cinematography, this is just beautiful art all around. Congrats to all involved, now off to work harder, and buy more lotto tickets so I can afford a second hand one some day.
You never will! It will appreciate really badly, last great Gas car!
the second hand will be way way more expensive than its retail. Your best bet would probably be buying a salvage title one
Your best bet would be to stop buying lotto tickets...
@@garycastronova7939 whats the odds like you could do it for a million weeks and still never get close
The rear is one of the ugliest I've ever seen because of that fan
well done guys, what a great achievement. Seeing Gordon smiling while hammering the throttle tells you how amazing this car and engine are.
Chills man. When It was Gordon’s time to drive the car I got MAD chills ..
The engine note is the best. To say it’s an Amazing car I bet doesn’t do it justice.
8:54 if you see Gordon smile like that when he’s driving.. you know the car is something beyond special
This is a beautiful, inspiring project. Thank you so much for documenting it for us. As an engineer, it it highly motivating.
From an engineering point this car is amazing. But from a regular car guy view it sadly doesn't look special enough from the front.
This machine is not meant for a regular car guy.
@@MV76 👌😂
@@TermlessHGW I appreciate the mellowness of the front end. It looks elegant rather than too aggressive, and I imagine it will age well.
I love the way Gordon just absolutely DOESN'T want to get out of it... a proud dad, indeed.
Dario Franchitti was really the perfect man to tell the story of the T.50. You can just see how deeply passionate he is about cars/performance driving with every word and facial expression. With his immense success driving touring cars, champ car and of course the 4 IndyCar championships, to see a man of his caliber and experience with the absolute best machinery on the planet really fall in love with the car, it sends home the message of how good the T.50 really is.
Love how he immediately took it through a tunnel to hear that glorious, glorious engine. What a project, what an achievement, what a car!
I has been an absolute privilege to have been with you all on this epic journey. Thank you so much, Gordon, Dario and all at GMA. Congratulations.
Amazing to see the culmination of Gordon's entire, fabulous life distilled down into this brand and this car. We are truly watching automotive history as it is being written. Thank you for the glimpse, Gordon!
That smile from 8:50 ❤
A masterpiece from a mastermind.
I love the compact body style, not oversized like many other sports cars nowadays
In an era of hybrid/electric/IA/bla bla, this is the most exciting supercar now. Simplicity, analog controls and of course that engine... and, also the way Gordon describes every detail in other videos! Fantastic! Congratulations to all involved!
What an inspiration Gordon Murray is. And what a creation the T.50 is.
When he drove it through the tunnel and you hear the induction roar and you see him smile, you know what this means to him..Fantastic to see his dream come true
Oh man the sound that NA V12 makes is just sublime.
I'm so glad this was documented with lots of high resolution videos and pictures. History in the making.
The engine noise is savage under acceleration, as it should, what a legend already.
When all other brands have failed us Gordon Murray saves us again. Analog super car is not dead :)
I never really dove into Gordon until recently, despite growing up loving the F1. However, over the last year I have devoured every second of content with him that I could find. I truly believe he deserves to be on the Mount Rushmore of automotive giants. He and Koenigsegg and Pagani, though they don’t revolutionize the automotive industry in whole, represent the pinnacle of what it means to be a car enthusiast. Though money is made, it isn’t the goal. The goal is that almost unattainable perfect drive. That feeling when it all comes together. Congrats on a job well done to everyone involved. It’s been a privilege to follow along.
The beginning of the end of an era.
Thank you Gordon. Thank you GMA. Thank you McLaren.
What a ride.
A true masterpiece that I hope to see in person one day ❤
As somebody that lives near Shelford I can tell you if you get to see this car drive on the road it’s mesmerising you feel the sound in your chest and it brings a smile to your face
I don't know why, but I am almost crying after watching this video. Seriously. Over the past many decades, an unbelievable amount of very special petrol machines has been created and beloved, and this is the end of this era. This masterpiece of a car is a pinnacle of petrol-motor powered machines and...... thats it. It's over. Gordon Murray created something so special, that I believe nobody can overcome before it is trully over and we will all be driving exclusively electric cars.
Just amazing ! Seeing Gordon smiling behind the wheel..respect!
I sometimes wish I was rich.
In my T.50-owning dream, I'd honour the love and integrity this project has throughout.
Well done, team
And thanks for showing us Gordon's test drive. A special moment for him.
Oh that satisfied smile at 8:53
It's never too late to try and make it happen
@@maxivy Thank you
Same, not many things make me wish had one but this and T.50s by God I wish! Lol ;)
Mine too if I had the money, a sports cars that is meant to be a daily drive
@@maxivy It is actually, as the T.50 is already sold out.
The true successor of the F1. This car is a masterpiece. A combination of power and elegance without looking fancy or extravagant.
8:50 after this reaction you can recognize A person who truly loves cars, appreciates every second of using them, their sound, their behavior on the road, has respect for them and has an indescribable feeling for them that cannot be compared.
4:07 Dario looks like he's about to cry, but I can't blame him! A guy documenting the process of a beautiful, powerful, practical, and fun car, like the T.50!
Outstanding - British engineering at its finest, incredible achievement and so many new innovations. Well done all.
That v12 may be the best ever made, it's unbelievable
Till he made the T.33
@@Kronos0999 the t.33 has the same motor
@@jjchockey Yeah, and the T.50 owners were not happy about it
That smile..said it all to me. Every time I watch one of these movies about Gordons creations I fall in love with a beautiful car, the thrill of acceleration, narrow windy roads all over again..I'll sadly never get to drive one of these, I do hope to catch a glimpse of one though, here in Australia. I did ogle an F1 in a London showroom, many years ago and I had a large diecast model (the only one I ever bought), I loved that car so much. This Car though...gosh..so much I could say and yet it's really all about a feeling and Gordon, you've captured that perfectly imo.
Watching this, Dario's commentary, talking about the passion behind Murray's work, looking at that cabin, that music playing in the background...almost brings tears to my eyes. I was a child when the F1 came out, it is and always has been my favorite supercar, and I thought nothing would ever top it. Until I saw this video, with this T50 model I just discovered tonight while watching F1 videos.
How time flies.
You are one person on my bucket list of people to meet, it would be such an honor to see and talk with you. Everything you have created is amazing. The T50's design is simple, but beautiful and elegant. And that cosworth v12... just incredible.
8:47 There's the sign of approval.
Making something that is much greater than the some of its parts.
Automotive artistry
This has been a great series on YT. Dario has done a wonderful job of bringing us all along. Thank you to the team who brought us this video series, and of course even bigger thanks to the team who have brought the T.50 to fruition.
I'm sure there are a ton of perks to being a champion level professional racer. For me, Dario's current job of testing the T.50 would be at the top of the list :) Please Gordon, PLEASE make an Elise-like car for normal people!!!!
Unbelievable. I had goosebumps every time they hit the gas. Can only imagine how well it drives. Greeting from Amsterdam and a very happy Lotus Elise S2 driver.
What a machine. What a machine. A proper car, for drivers, with a gear stick, and a handbrake, and what has to be one of the most amazing sounding engines ever installed into a road car. It's an evolution of the F1, and, you can be sure Gordon has designed it to be a useable car. Sadly only the super rich with deep pockets will get to own one!
I love the aura of everything about the T50, the Tech, The past, the present, the garage and artisans feeling, the human driver side, i love the aston martin valkyrie like a car in a Play Station, but this car is different this car is pure art on wheels.
That is the end. This is the best, ever, and the last real car ever. The ultimate achievement. The epitome. It’s important, crucial, that people like Sir Murray are existing. Thank you Sir.
yeah that t33 is a fake mf
as a 21 years old I feel so lucky to witness the creation of one of the best supercars ever, it has everything a driver wants. I've seen countless videos, read multiple articles of Mr. Murray talking about his "old" and latest creation and his philosophy should be seen by anyone that has this passion as the Bible. I'll stick to my Fiat Panda but no one can stop me from dreaming about driving it...one day!
Gordon Murray will always be remembered and regarded as one of the greatest automotive designers!
This is Gordan's Magnum Opus.
Why do I have tears in my eyes? Why am I so emotional? Why do I choke up whenever the V12 "wakes up" to give power?
Is it because this may be the pinnacle of internal combustion personal transport? The final crescendo of a soprano's farewell performance before stepping off the stage for ever? The last passionate battle cry of a class of machine that motivates itself to motion through the careful application of highly tuned controlled explosions, in the face of the passionless indifferent silence of electric propulsion.
Every true car lover knows the Mclaren is the ultimate car to have, thank you Mr.Murray for this amazing journey
The T.50 is a timeless design. The attention to detail, The Engineering, design, concept and all the thought and testing gone into produce this masterpiece! Its definitely going too age well along the path of the Mclaren F1.
Well done Gordon Murray and Team.
dude - just that little smile @8:55 - like a proud dad. Makes me happy just to see him so happy. This is a hell of a project from concept to engineering. Bravo sir.
Gordon’s reaction and that sound brought tears of joy and excitement at the fact I have never heard such a unreal sound and that was only the Audio through a video, this car will shake the automotive world ❤
One of the best looking, best sounding, and since it’s made by Gordon Murray; best driving car ever made. Mated with a manual and that screaming Cosworth V12 that revs to 12 000, able to be daily driven and beating most other Hypercars around a racetrack because it’s so light and has tons of downforce, it really is the perfect car. If there is one car I can take out of every car made in history, this will be it, sadly it is incredibly expensive so I probably will never be able to afford one but you never know.
I'm happy to touch and see T50 every day! Perfect Machine!
Lucky!
Makes me happy that the whole project was so thoroughly and tastefully documented for future generations. Also, I'm glad I got the first video on my recommended as soon as it came out. Probably due to my F1 obsession.
Mclaren F1 and now T50... Need we say more. Gordon Murray is an Engineering genius bar none. Congratulations 🎊
A work of art... Amazing. World needs more Murrays.
Huge thanks to all the people involved in this project 🙏
What is success ? To follow your heart and mind with conviction- to put your name to something your proud of -
It looks and sounds fantastic- hats off to GM and the team
The original F1 road car was my poster car. Still is. When Gordan compares the 'flaws' in that design which were limitations of manufacturing of the era, but then he eliminated them in this T50 series. Blimey I thought I had attention to detail in life. The first F1 was and still is a Brunel level piece of engineering. The T50 is another incredible achievement. Sir Murray thank you for putting your energies into creating a second masterpiece (of the road world). Colin Chapman would have tipped his hat to you for sure.
Actually felt like crying watching this. I don't think we'll ever get such s detailed build of a car like this again.
Having an Indy car winner and the creator of this masterpiece both giggling at road speeds tells you pretty much everything you need to know about this car.
Thank you to the all GMA team and THANK YOU Mr Murray for keep dreaming and persevering.
I have watched from the very beginning and it has been an absolute joy to come along for the ride to see driving perfection come to life. Congratulations and thank you Gordon , Dario and the team at GMA for this brilliant series. Can't wait for T.33 .
For T.50s :)
Peak ICE. Thank you Mr.Gordon Murray for creating such a machine !
Words cannot describe how much I appreciate this car and Gordon Murray. I would dedicate my life to working at this place if given the opportunity. The passion and dedication from the team is immense. Thankyou guys for producing a magnificent car and so efficiently. Gordon was clearly concentrating while driving to start, but after he was satisfied and his concentration turned to enjoyment, his smiles brought tears to my eyes. It's so nice to see achievements like this happen for people who dedicate their life to automotive engineering. Thank-you GMA
I like the real vibe of these gma vids. Not rough and ready and not unpolished. Just real. Feels honest. You can tell Gordon’s emotions to that moment.
It is kinda sad, but thank you to the whole team for documenting this interesting process! The good thing is that now a lot of T.50s will, hopefully, hit the road in different parts of the world and hopefully I get to see and HEAR one 😀
Agreed
Thank you Gordon for giving the Auto world another Mona Lisa. Congratulations from Pretoria South Africa.
the sound is unbelievable and Gordons face when he puts his foot down, Pure joy.
The cheeky smile on Gordon’s face after the tunnel just said if all. That was brilliant.
I honestly thought Dario was wandering up to an F1 around the 0.5 min mark... fantastic!
The true successor to the mighty McLaren F1. I've been excited for the T.50 since Gordon Murray announced it. My heart still lusts for the F1, but this is truly a worthy successor that the McLaren P1 only dreamed of being.
The eyes and the smile at 8:50 say it all… congratulations. Inspiring 🥂
Amazing how incredibly fast this car went from a napkin sketch to full production ready in this short amount of time. The fact it’s one of the most engineering finest makes it that more impressive. Just goes to show you how quickly things can get done if you’re not ruled by committee and accountants and just have this one focused, singular attention to make the world’s best driver’s car
That smile to himself during the drive said it all. I can't help but wonder if this is his swan song, both because of the market shift to electric, and also his age. Does he have another such epic car in him?
He has plans till 2033 already. People like that will go on for a long long time, maybe well into their 90s. Their passion keeps them alive and younger than they should be.
@@srinitaaigaura Very well said sir! Makes me smile and hope. Passion is the essence.
@@florinvid Well the T33 Spider is out now. Whatever Gordon said about that earlier, I am sure demand was strong enough for one and they want to push out those NA V12s as much as they can. Maybe the next car after that will be hybrid.
Gordon Murray reminded me why I fell in love with cars. Thanks to all the people behind the T.50. You did the F1 successor justice.
The entire team at Gordon Murray are incredible. Seeing them work every day, genuinely love coming to work. Even though I'm not directly involved with the cars, you see the hard graft the techs go through to deliver. From innovation, design through to development, they're an inspiration. Every single one of them.
A really special feeling to this video… the start of an era but weirdly the closing of one, I’ve loved these progress videos from start-to-finish, to the point where I myself feel like I’ve been involved in it, what a special car.
I love the look and philosophy of this car. I hope i have the means to buy one sometime in the Future. It's cars like these that inspire me the most. Pure, reliable and fun.
Wow, that thing sounds fantastic. Even Gordon managed a smile or two there!
Gordon Murray is a living legend - the passion he has is amazing, a true inspiration ❤
What a car, what an engineer. Truly one of the most pivotal moments in automotive history. Congrats Gordon Murray, congratulations sir
Absolutely remarkable development timeline! Congratulations to GM the godfather of supercar design, your whole team at GMA and all your partners. Waiting for the first journalist reviews of this, and I think you'll have to drag them out when you feel they're done.
The T50 will be the ultimate supercar of this generation as the true successor of the Mclaren F1.
Next, the T50S, and then T33.
The look on his face, is as if he's feeling every aspect of the car, dialed in fully
It must be some world that Gordon lives in. To have the engineering skill and ability to design then manufacture a car like that is a really incredible achievement. Add to that a host of other amazing vehicles including the fantastic original F1, it doesn’t get better. What a sound when that motor spins up. Worth every penny.
Stunning. That engine sound…well done!
Congrats all. As a fan, seeing Gordon smile as he drove it... I can only imagine how satisfying this car is.
Love Gordnon's smile creeping across his face as the enjoyment kicks in - so worth everything that went before. Nice car.. maybe one day when I win the lottery!
That wry little smile after he gets through the tunnel; so awesome.
