Gordon Murray T50

Post by NotoriousREV »

I assume no one’s talking about this because, like every other Gordon Murray project since the F1, it’ll never see the light of day?

As one wag on Twitter said, it’s proof that Murray can only draw one car.

Buick called and wants the Wildcat drawings back...

Considering Singer have seemingly enough buyers for a million dollar 911, then surely Murray can triple that and just build T50s as one-offs.

Wasn't it in the PH article on Singer that they said that there is next to no economy of scale for production runs in the hundreds?

I guess he'll need a lot of money up front to try and make the ground effect thing work on a road car.

I saw it on a website called 'evo' or something. Here

From the rear three quarters it's VERY F1

He says like the F1 is all about the aerodynamics and the driving experience, not the top speed (just like the F1). So I guess if you keep asking the same question you'll get the same answer (design).

Whatever happened to his T25 and his revolutionary production methods?

Oh look, something else that is clearly better than everything else anyone else has ever thought of but won’t be built.

There seems to be one of these GM type supercars every few months - I’m sure it/they will be fantastic if they ever get to fruition/leave their heated garage

But to be honest please can some journo do an in-depth story on the Escort he’s had built for his own personal driving fun!!!

( I’ve seen the Retropower series but I want to know all the facts and figures if poss.....weight, performance, the trick bits, how it compares to something like an Alfaholics 105 etc )

Often wondered this myself. No doubting his genius but he never seems to get pulled up on his appareny failings, and they do appear to exist.
