Gordon Murray, CBE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Professor Gordon Murray, the renowned automotive designer and engineer, was presented with a CBE (Commander of the British Empire) by the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William. The ceremony, held at Buckingham Palace, recognized the contributions made by Murray to the motorsport and automotive sectors over the past 50 years.<\/p>\n

Gordon Murray said: \u201cReceiving a CBE from Prince William is one of the highlights of my life \u2013 right up there with Formula One World Championship wins or creating the world\u2019s fastest production car. The Gordon Murray Group is about to embark on an exciting new chapter, with ground-breaking innovation once again driving our growth. Energised by this accolade I can\u2019t wait to continue the journey, supported by a dedicated and hugely talented team.\u201d<\/p>\n

50 years of service<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murray designed his first car in 1967 before moving to the UK to join the Brabham Formula One Team as Technical Director. There he won two world championships (1981 and 1983), before moving to McLaren International as Technical Director in 1988 where the team won three consecutive championships \u2013 1988, 1989 and 1990.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After achieving 50 Formula One Grand Prix wins, Murray went on to establish a new company \u2013 McLaren Cars Limited. The company\u2019s first project was the world-famous McLaren F1 Road Car. In 1995, a racing version won two world sports car championships and the Le Mans 24-hour race. Murray guided several other successful projects at McLaren Cars, culminating with the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren programme.<\/p>\n

In 2007 Murray formed a new British company for the design, engineering, prototyping and development of vehicles \u2013 Gordon Murray Design Limited. The Surrey-based company has a global reputation as one of the finest automotive design teams in the world and is responsible for an innovative and disruptive manufacturing technology: iStream\u00ae.<\/p>\n

On May 14, Gordon Murray will launch a new book titled \u2018One Formula\u2019, <\/em>which charts in detail his career over the past 50 years. It includes extensive details about the plethora of vehicles he has designed and engineered over the years from Formula One icons, to legendary road and race cars. Also, it covers many of the fascinating situations he\u2019s encountered and achievements he\u2019s made during his long and distinguished career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
