Gordon Murray T.33 Makes His First Debut With 607 HP and ‘Everyday Usability.

They will only be 100 and are expensive.

Officially, the follow-up to the T.50 is now available from Gordon Murray Automotive. Although the T.33 may not be as powerful as its sibling, it has a naturally-aspirated 607 horsepower (453-watt) 3.9-liter engine that turns the rear wheels of a 2,400-pound supercar. Hardcore is an acceptable term.

Let’s get to the heart and soul of the T.33. This is a modified version of the V12 engine from Cosworth that was used in the T.50. Although it revs less in the T.33 than the T.50, we still have an 11,100-rpm limit. Peak power is at 10,500 revs with 333 pound-feet (451 Nm) of peak torque at 9,500 rpm. GMA states that 75 percent of this torque is available at 2,500 RPM, so you don’t need to be a soprano to enjoy a leisurely stroll around the town. The T.33 is slightly more comfortable than the T.50 at lower revs, but it is still high-strung.

A six-speed transmission transfers power to the rear wheels only. Manual lovers rejoice! Standard gearbox will have a three-pedal stick shift, but an optional six-speed paddle-shift transmission is also available. GMA claims that the Xtrac paddle shift box, weighing in at 172 lbs, is the world’s lightest supercar transmission and has the fastest shifting. The T.33 engine weighs in at 392 pounds and is bolted to a carbon fibre monocoque chassis. This makes it lighter than the McLaren F1.

GMA does not share performance statistics, but it is safe to assume that this car fast. The T.33’s aerodynamics should make it handle well. The clever fan at T.50’s back is not visible, but the ground effect inlet at front channels air under the car and directs it to a diffuser at its back. It is so simple that no additional vents or wings are required. However, you will find an active spoiler at your back that deploys either automatically at speed or manually at the driver’s request. Michelin 4S tires are used on the staggered wheels that measure 19 inches in front and 20 inches back.

You’ll find a simple greenhouse inside that is completely devoid any touchscreens. Although the minimalist design is geared towards driver focus, you will still find premium materials like aluminum and carbon fibre. The T.33, which is fitted with the manual transmission standard, remains the car’s central feature. It also features an analog rpm gauge.

However, it’s not entirely devoid of features. You’ll find Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto onboard. The T.33 has nearly 10 cubic feet of storage and a range of 400 miles per tank. This makes it a great grand touring machine for two.

It will also come with a high-end mid-engine GT. The price starts at PS1.37million, which is currently equivalent to $1.8 million in US dollars. GMA has confirmed that the T.33 will be made available on global markets with left-hand- or right-hand drive. The company is currently accepting inquiries from potential buyers.
