Gordon Murray designed Brabham’s Formula One cars in the 1970s and 1980s and later the McLaren F1 road car. In 2017 he founded Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) to build limited-run, lightweight, driver-focused supercars, carrying on the philosophy of the F1.
The first, the T.50, was launched in 2020. It uses a 3.9-litre Cosworth V12 that revs beyond 12,000 rpm and a ground-effect fan at the rear, a nod to the Brabham BT46B “fan car” Murray designed for Formula One in 1978. Production began in 2023 and ended in 2025 after 100 cars, many of them bought by McLaren F1 owners; a track-only T.50s Niki Lauda edition was limited to 25 at £3.7 million each. The second model, the T.33, revealed in 2023, uses the same package without the fan and is designed for more frequent use; all 100 were sold before production began.
In 2022 GMA moved into a new headquarters at Highams Park in Surrey, completed in 2024 with a test road and manufacturing facilities. A Special Vehicles Division followed in 2025, the year Murray and GMA were the central feature of the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the T.50 received a King’s Award for Enterprise.
