Creator of Gordon Murray Automotive's CEO discusses working for his youth idol and forthcoming hypercars.
Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA), the renowned hypercar company founded by Professor Gordon Murray CBE, has announced its production and launch plans for the coming months. By the end of July 2025, the production run of the GMA T.50 hypercar, limited to 100 units, is scheduled to be completed.
Manufactured at the company's Highams Park facility in England, the T.50 represents the culmination of an intense, analogue-focused design philosophy. With a unique three-seat layout, a ground-effect fan, and a 654 hp V-12 that revs to 12,100 rpm, the T.50 offers a one-of-a-kind driving experience. The model, which weighs 2,198 pounds without fluids, boasts instant torque and a high-revving V-12 engine, making it a standout in the hypercar market.
About half of the T.50 production has gone to the U.S., making it GMA's biggest market. The T.50 was named Hypercar of the Year in GMA's website's Best of the Best awards for 2024.
Following the completion of the T.50 production, GMA is set to launch the new Gordon Murray Special Vehicles (GMSV) division. This division will produce bespoke, highly customized supercars. The GMSV's first two models will debut at Monterey Car Week in California on August 15, 2025. One vehicle will be a bespoke customer commission, and the other a design developed by the GMSV team.
The T.33 and T.33 Spider, which are part of the ongoing lineup, have also been in the spotlight. The T.33 Sport, offering a "much sportier setup" than a regular T.33, is expected to have an invitation-only "soft launch" before a public debut, most likely in 2026.
In July 2025, the Goodwood Festival of Speed celebrated Gordon Murray’s 60 years of design, featuring T.33 prototypes. GMA is also the featured marque at this prestigious event, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of Murray's career in car design.
CEO Phillip Lee, who has spent 28 years in the automotive industry and joined GMA in 2019, emphasizes GMA's commitment to light weight, form-meets-function design, naturally aspirated V-12 engines, manual transmissions, and total driver engagement. The company's heritage collection includes photos and technical drawings for Murray's first self-built car, the Lotus 7-based T.1, along with various historical racing vehicles and a full-size model of the T.50s Niki Lauda.
As GMA prepares for the production of the 607 hp T.33 and T.33 Spider, the average mileage of a T.50 is around 2,500 miles a year. The company's plans for a separate Special Vehicles division aim to reinvent the sports car and position them within the luxury sector.
With the T.50 production concluding in July 2025, the Goodwood Festival of Speed celebrating Gordon Murray’s 60 years of design, and the first bespoke supercars from the new Special Vehicles division debuting in August 2025, GMA is set to mark a new chapter in its bespoke and high-performance production strategy.
- The hypercar market is set to witness a unique addition with the launch of the Gordon Murray Special Vehicles (GMSV) division, which will produce bespoke supercars following the completion of the T.50 production run in July 2025.
- In the realm of finance, the United States stands as the biggest market for the T.50, accounting for half of the production run.
- The T.50, a technological marvel in the automotive industry, boasts a high-revving V-12 engine and offers a one-of-a-kind driving experience, aligning well with upscale lifestyle preferences in sports and luxury sectors.
