T.50
Re: T.50
there was the T27, because the petrol t25 was already out dated, wasn’t there a rebodied smart roadster at one point, then some flat pack truck?
Re: T.50
McLaren made a great job of the F1 because they were obsessive about the build, not just the engineering. They used a bespoke engine from a road-car manufacturer.
This appears to be just the same basic thing, 30 years on, with bits bought in from race-car manufacturers. I wish him lots of luck, particularly because I love the idea of an updated F1, but I can't see it being the sort of car Rowan Atkinson would buy and drive around in for 20 years.

Re: T.50
I'll possibly work up more interest if it moves towards reality.
No flywheel at all?
And the fan to avoid wings? Hmmm. Its either going to be open, so will suck up all the leaves, dust, grit and fag ends and fire them at following vehicles, or the screens added to avoid that will clog up and stop it working (as you are approaching your favourite 200mph corner).
Also disappointing to see a cutaway without tall men / tiny ladies. Must try harder.

Re: T.50
The Mclaren F1 had fans behind the front bumper to give it ground effects. Not sure how effective it was though as I can’t recall reviews mentioning feeling the ground effect. They also seem to have a pretty high ride height with no sealed floor
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: T.50
IIRC he was never going to build the T25/27 himself, it was a proof of concept for iStream that would've been built by a bigger manufacturer if anyone was interested.
I usually see these low volume sports car projects as vapourware but I'd like to see this one succeed if I'm honest. Sounds like it would be interesting.
