The Man Behind the McLaren F1 Has a New Car<\/h2>\n

We reported a while back that Gordon Murray had a new hypercar<\/a> he was working on. Details about the car were extremely scarce at the time of that writing. Now, some of those details have come to light. According to his website<\/a>, the car will use a carbon fiber tub, a naturally aspirated V12 engine, a good-old-fashioned six-speed manual transmission, and be rear-wheel drive.<\/strong> The car will also seat three people. The driver will be front and center with the two passengers to either side. <\/p>\n

The car will begin production in 2022. Right now the car is in advanced stages of development. The vehicle is said to cost upwards of $2.5 million. Murray plans to only build 100 versions of the car, too,<\/strong> meaning it will be a rare model. The model is supposed to have the most advanced aerodynamics of any car and an unmatched power-to-weight ratio. <\/p>\n

Murray doesn’t seem too interested in what people think, which is refreshing. He’s here to build the best-driving car out there. \u201cI have absolutely no interest in chasing records for top speed or acceleration. Our focus is instead on delivering the purest, most rewarding driving experience of any supercar ever built<\/strong> \u2013 but, rest assured, it will be quick,” he said. <\/p>\n

It’s this focus on the actual driveability of the car that has us so excited. Chasing top speeds and faster acceleration times is all well and good, but if you have to ruin the driving experience to get there, then you’ve missed the point. Murray knows what it takes to build an engaging car and the T.50 should be impressive. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
