20 Mar 2021|713 views
Gordon Murray Automotive's T.50 supercar has had its first development test drive, marking a major milestone for the world's most driver-centric supercar.
The XP2 prototype with limited revs was driven for the first time at the Top Gear test track in Dunsfold, U.K. and just metres from where the T.50 will begin full production in 2022. Its first test drive was personally undertaken by Professor Gordon Murray.
Professor Gordon Murray said, "The XP2 prototype is currently running at considerably less revs than its 12,100rpm limit, yet the T.50 felt fantastic on my first drive. The car was responsive, agile and rewarding to drive. It was a fantastic experience to be sitting in the centre of the car once again with great all-round visibility and I can see how much the owners will enjoy this experience. Obviously, there's still a lot of development miles to be completed and many more prototypes to build. But the trajectory of the T.50 development is where we want it to be."
The T.50 will be powered by the world's highest-revving, lightest, naturally aspirated road-legal V12 engine, developing 654bhp. Weighing just 986kg, a third lighter than most typical supercars and featuring the most advanced and effective aerodynamics ever seen on a road car. Just 100 units will be made and the first customer deliveries will be in 2022.
