戈登Murray T.50 Will Get Even Lighter And More Powerful

戈登Murray, the man responsible for giving us the fantastic McLaren F1, recentlyrevealed his latest creationfrom his own company, Gordon Murray Automotive. The sensational T.50 arrived sporting a a 654 horsepower V12, rear-wheel-drive, a manual transmission, and a three-seater layout like the original F1 and theMcLaren Speedtail. Even with a price tag of $3.08 million, all 100 road-going copies sold out in less than 48 hours.

But if you couldn't nab one of the 100 street cars, GMA has some exciting news. The company just announced a racing variant, internally known as the the T.50s, which will be lighter and more powerful than the standard T.50 GMA posted just a single teaser of the car, which will receive a "historically-significant official name" during its full reveal later this year. Only 25 examples are slated for production, so you better act fast.

The road-going T.50 is already a featherlight car, weighing in at just 2,174 pounds. This T.50s model is lighter still, tipping the scales at only 1,962 pounds. There's more power on tap as well, with the Cosworth 3.9-liter V12 now cranking out 720 hp. "With no noise or emission legislation to contend with, we could unleash the full potential of the GMA V12 engine and its 12,100rpm. More than 50 components have been changed in the engine alone and the power can top 730 PS when factoring in the new ram-air induction system," says Murray.

In order to keep the T.50s stable, GMA added a new 1,758mm-wide delta wing, which works in concert with the car's most controversial styling and aero element, the rear-mounted fan. The race variant also gains a new front splitter, underbody aerofoil, and adjustable diffusers, all generating a total of 3,306 pounds of downforce, which is 170 percent of the car's weight.
