New Horizons for Gordon Murray Automotive

Legendary supercar designer Gordon Murray is steering into new territories beyond his iconic T.50 and T.33 models. In a recent conversation on the Autocar podcast, Murray shared plans for an innovative vehicle set to debut in 2028, following the production of his current high-performance lineup.

A New Automotive Vision

"I don't want to just regurgitate the same stuff all the time," Murray expressed. Once the T.33 S is completed, anticipate "a brand new platform again—a brand new motor car."

What Type of Car Will It Be?

Murray hints at moving away from his traditional mid-engine supercars. Although details are limited, possibilities range from a front-engine coupe to a potential sedan or shooting brake. An SUV seems improbable, but speculation is welcome. Murray insists the new vehicle will set a benchmark in its category and realizes a long-held personal vision. As with his previous models, this one will be exclusive, limited to 100 units destined to sell out immediately.

Under the Hood: Powertrain Possibilities

The familiar Cosworth V-12 engine might power this mysterious vehicle, with Murray keen to "hold on to the V-12 for a bit longer." Additionally, plans might introduce a hybrid element, albeit minimally, to align with the company’s core principles.

Upcoming Releases

In tandem, Murray confirmed the upcoming reveal of the T.33 S variant next summer. Designed with enhanced track capabilities, this version boasts increased downforce and refined suspension. Production is expected to conclude by 2028, paving the way for Murray's next major reveal.

  

Summary

Gordon Murray is poised to redefine the automotive scene with a groundbreaking model in 2028, following his existing supercar lineup. With hints towards a new category and a blend of V-12 performance and hybrid innovation, anticipation is mounting for this elusive vehicle. Meanwhile, the high-performance T.33 S variant prepares for its summer unveiling.

I appreciate Murray's commitment to innovation, but it leaves me questioning if he can really deliver something truly different from the T.50 and T.33.

It's exciting that Gordon Murray is working on something new, but the timeline until 2028 feels far away in automotive terms. I'll believe it when I see it.
