Age is just a number. On the other hand, the numbers describe a supercar. We hear any of the sayings independently.
But before this week, they met at Gordon Murray’s new T.50, a hypercar created through a 74-year-old designer who combines various technologies to claim that it will be the baap of all supercars.
South African-born auto designer Gordon Murray has been at the forefront of Formula One car design for nearly two decades.
He was also the mastermind behind the McLaren F1 supercar. Murray’s design for the T.50 (a bit like the successor to the McLaren F1) was number 50 in a prestigious line of race and road cars he wrote in his illustrious 50-year career, two reasons that combine to call the T.50 car.
With a car carbon fiber monocoque, a compact V12 engine with titanium factors and machined aluminum portions (up to the speedometer needle), the T.50 would have been designed to be the purest, lightest and highest driver-centered superhighway. Already. Improving its famous McLaren F1, Gordon Murray’s independent automotive company will begin building visitor versions of the 986 kg superhymobile in January 2022. The T.50 will charge 2.36 million pounds before local taxes (about 24 crore ₹) and landing. The value in India can be double! Only a hundred of them will be built. But Murray promises that the T.50 will provide an unprecedented driving experience.
It is powered by a traditional 3.9-liter 100 percent V12 engine that achieves a record 12,100 rpm and provides a maximum force of 663 hp.
It’s a 3-seater driver and the controls are in the center! The T.50 features the complex and effective maximum aerodynamics ever noticed in a road car, with the help of a 400mm rear fan, a questionable feature That Murray first created for Brabham-Alfa Romeo’s 1978 Formula One car.
GMA states that in partnership with active rear spoilers and interactive diffusers, the propeller-shaped fan is helping to build up strength by 50% (in braking mode, an additional 100% force is generated); At the same time, it reduces resistance by 12.5%; Add about 50 hp to the car outlet, mixed with dynamic air induction; and reduces the braking distance by 10 m from 150 mph. The T.50’s 986 kg vacuum weight makes it the lightest supercar of the fashion era, almost a third less than the average weight of a supercar, Murray says. The weight-to-power ratio, as GMA says, is more productive for any supercar, thanks to the prolonged lightness. The engine developed with Cosworth also has many new features, adding the lightest road V12 ever designed. To make the structure and driving force delight in something even more analog, the T.50 features a 6-speed manual transmission with the classic H gearshift.
The highlight of the T.50’s external design is its purity and balance, the wings, skirts and vents that need other fashionable supercars. Developing the design, Murray says that the blank surfaces and purity of the silhouette break dramatically when the pair of open doors rise and advance, and stops over the passenger cabin. The panels on the motor can be opened upwards in the same way to put the V12 in full screen.
In the cockpit, the jet-style sitting position provides an unobstructed view outside the cab and the number one and secondary aerospace grade controls are arranged in an ‘ergonomic bubble’ around the driver, providing the kind of related natural driving pleasure. with a single-seater racing car design.
The car also features a Direct Path induction sound, a pioneering formula in the McLaren F1 and subtle on the T.50 to channel the sound of the throttle-induced roar in the cab.
