Gordon Murray Automotive has revealed its new T.33 supercar.
The car is built upon a superlight carbon fibre which works alongside the sure of carbon fibre body panels so its overall targeted weight is less than 1,100kg.
All controls in the T.33 are said to be either analog or rotary, and yes, it does come with a six-speed manual gearbox Utilising that low weight are double wishbones deployed at the front and rear, in conjunction with coil springs over aluminium alloy dampers. The T.33 also gets a newly developed bespoke rack and pinion, hydraulically assisted steering system calibrated to impart class-leading levels of feel and feedback.
The brake discs of the T.33 meanwhile, (370mm x 34mm at the front and 340mm x 34mm items at the rear) feature six-piston aluminium Monobloc alloy front calipers and four-piston aluminium Monobloc alloy rear calipers.
And don't get fooled by the car's sleek, clean body. The T.33 utilises ground effect in order to attain aerodynamic downforce in place of the use of ducts and channels throughout its body. This is achieved via air inlet channels underneath the floor, alongside a diffuser at the rear, which allows an aerodynamic efficiency Gordon Murray Automotive states is 30% more effective than a conventional ground effect supercar.
The Gordon Murray Automotive T.33 utilises a V12 engine, developed in collaboration with its technical partner, Cosworth. With a displacement of 3.9-litres, the engine revs to a peak of 11,000rpm and produces a maximum of 607bhp. Peak torque stands at 451Nm at 9,000rpm, although Gordon Murray Automotive states that up to 75% of peak torque is available from as low as 2,500rpm.
V12 3.9-litre in the T.33 developes a peak of 607bhp at 11,000rpm and comes with these tasty yellow cam covers As standard, the GMA T.33 has a six-speed manual gearbox with a paddle shift transmission as an option. The manual gearbox is derived from the T.50 Xtrac manual unit and weighs just 82kg, making it the world's lightest supercar unit.
On the inside of the T.33, a driver-focused cabin sits, with all the main controls are retained as rotary and analogue items. The car has even ditched any column stalks, instead opting to activate its indicators via thumb-buttons on the carbon fibre steering wheel's horizontal spokes.
Also staying defiantly analogue is the flood-lit, 120mm diameter rev counter. All primary and secondary controls are machined from the highest quality aluminium alloy providing a wonderfully tactile feel. The pedals meanwhile, are crafted from aluminium alloy, providing a perfect combination of strength and lightness that delivers exceptional control and sensitivity to the driver.
A front stowage compartment and twin side luggage lockers offering a combined 280 litres of space, large enough for six cases, endows the T.33 with the practicality to undertake continent-crossing adventures.
