Gordon Murray brought us the iconic McLaren F1. Now hes making his own three-seat supercar follower, the GMA T. 50 with a brand new Cosworth 3.9-liter V12, and they just fired it up for the first time.
The Drive reports the brand-new engine is anticipated to weigh about 132 pounds less than the BMW-sourced 6.2-liter V12 in the old McLaren F1, while producing more power. Unfortunately as you can see in the video and from the description, things are steady and sluggish, in the meantime, only checking as much as about a tenth of the engines possible revs.
Late last week, Gordon Murray Automotive, the venture establishing Formula One-designer Gordon Murrays brand-new supercar dubbed the T. 50, released a video of the very first full-build of its upcoming supercars all-new 3.9-liter V12 engine established by Cosworth.

Heres more about the brand-new 3.9-liter GMA engine from The Drive:
The target overall weight for the T. 50 is 980 kilograms, or 2,160 pounds, so these light-weight improvements over the F1 are adding to some stunning stats. If the T. 50 keeps its target weight, thatll put it 158 kilos (349 pounds) lighter than the McLaren F1, and even still 450 kilos (992 pounds) lighter than the contemporary three-seater McLaren Speedtail.
The T. 50 will get a three-seat interior plan, similar to the F1 and Speedtail before it, with the chauffeur positioned in the center and flanked by two passenger seats over their shoulders.
Previous reports suggested estimated costs for the T. 50 north of $2.5 million before taxes. Shipments are anticipated to begin in 2022, but American automobiles need to get in the nation under “program and display screen” constraints. Hey, youre paying for an automobile with a fan running out of the back, like the damn Batmobile. Put on your hockey pants and pay up.

The car, complete name the Gordon Murray Automotive T. 50 supercar, will aslo get a custom six-speed handbook gearbox established by motorsports experts at Xtrac. GMA claims this new gearbox is 22 pounds lighter than the McLaren F1s custom six-speed stick, so eat that Gordon Murray from 30 years ago.
Englands all-alloy DOHC engine is sure to be filled with machined internals made of titanium and other expensive metals that make it capable of revving to 12,100 rpm, thus beating the Aston Martin Valkyries 6.5-liter V12 by whats roughly a basic roadway cars idling speed. Astons equally Cosworth-made 1,000-horsepower engine is set to cut its fuel at 11,400 rpm.
What Gordon Murray Automotive claims to be “the fastest-responding naturally aspirated V12 ever made for a roadway cars and truck” was very first evaluated in three-cylinder kind, going beyond the groups power and torque expectations currently by March.
