T.50: McLaren F1 successor to be manufactured in new Surrey facility

All engineering, design and styling of the T.50 is by Gordon Murray Design, and the car will be manufactured at a new purpose-built facility in Surrey.

Furthermore, all major components will be bespoke and UK-sourced, including the powertrain, body and chassis.

The development of T.50 is at an advanced stage, with full production and customer deliveries set to commence in early 2022. There will be only 100 owners of the T.50 – a supercar inspired by the designer’s 50 years at the pinnacle of Formula One and automotive industry engineering and design.

Mr Murray, chairman of Gordon Murray Group, said: “An unflinching dedication to lightweighting, highly-advanced active aerodynamics and world-leading standards of advanced engineering will ensure the T.50 rewrites the supercar rulebook. Our experienced team is applying the same uncompromising approach to design and engineering that shaped every facet of the F1, and they are able to deliver substantial improvements over that car in every meaningful way.”

It will be manufactured in the UK by Gordon Murray Automotive – a new company first announced in late 2017 at the One Formula exhibition.

The T.50 breaks from performance-car convention, just as the F1 did in 1992. It weighs significantly less than any other current supercar. It has the most advanced aerodynamics of any road car, and it relies on design and engineering excellence to deliver the purest, most driver-focused performance and dynamics of any road car since the F1.

It will be powered by a compact and light, naturally-aspirated, all-new V12 engine. The unit will be capable of 12,100rpm and 650hp to deliver incredible power-to-weight.

The T.50, by Gordon Murray Automotive will be priced in excess of £2 million.
