Why it matters
The T.50 is Gordon Murray's attempt to improve on his own McLaren F1: a three-seat, manual-gearbox, naturally aspirated V12 supercar built around lightness. Limited to 100 customer cars, its 986 kg kerb weight made it the lightest supercar of the modern era.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionlimited | 1001 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Named as the 50th design of Murray's career, the T.50 was developed by Gordon Murray Automotive with a bespoke Cosworth-built 3.9-litre V12 revving to over 11,000 rpm and a six-speed manual gearbox. It uses a carbon-fibre monocoque with the engine as a semi-stressed member and carbon-fibre composite bodywork. Customer production began in January 2022, at a price of £2.36m before taxes.
