This is one tempting idea. Less than £20,000 could buy you the ultimate TVR coupe, the Cerbera, a monstrously rapid machine powered by that most daring of engineering adventures, an engine designed and built in-house. For a tiny specialist car maker…

The Nichols N1A meticulously incorporates the features that made Can-Am cars legendary, like open cockpits and flat silhouettes. Though inspired by track legends, the N1A is street-legal. Drawing heavily from the McLaren, the M1A, it seamlessly combines past and present in a road-ready…
The automotive world holds few machines in higher regard than a McLaren, the company that began as one man’s vision of taking fabulous race cars and making them fabulous road-legal supercars. That’s how the M6GT was born. Conceived as a “very…
Gordon Murray is one of the most celebrated engineers in motoring history. Born in South Africa, he made his name in Formula One with Brabham, where his inventive designs included the notorious fan car of 1978, and then at McLaren during its era of dominance. His masterpiece, though, was a road car: the McLaren F1 of the early 1990s, with its central driving seat, gold-lined engine bay and BMW V12. It became the fastest production car in the world and is still revered as perhaps the greatest supercar ever built.
Decades later, Murray founded Gordon Murray Automotive to build the cars he believed the industry had forgotten how to make. The T.50, revealed in 2020, is a spiritual successor to the F1, with a central seat, a manual gearbox, a high-revving Cosworth V12 and a rear-mounted fan that manages airflow under the car. The T.33 followed as a more conventional two-seater with the same engine, and a track-only T.50s Niki Lauda paid tribute to his old Brabham driver.
GMA's philosophy is the opposite of the horsepower race. Its cars are light, compact and built around driver involvement, with analog instruments, physical switches and engines that rev to the sky. That approach has earned enormous admiration from enthusiasts and journalists, who regularly describe the cars as the purest driving machines of their era. The company has since moved into ever more exclusive special-series projects, including a new V12 model called the S1 and a tiny run of S1 LM cars, one of which was reported to have sold for more than $20 million, a record for a new car.
This page covers new reveals, deliveries, driving impressions, Pebble Beach appearances and auction results, along with Murray's own reflections on design and engineering. Watch for the company's next projects, its expansion beyond hypercars, and how it keeps the manual V12 alive as regulations tighten. Murray's reputation as one of the last great independent car designers means that almost anything he says about the industry, from electrification to weight, becomes news, and his old McLaren F1 still sets the standard against which every new supercar is judged.
The McLaren F1's designer and his own company, building featherweight, manual, V12-screaming supercars like the T.50 and T.33 for purists.
