About GORDON MURRAY Automotive Gordon Murray T.33
The second project made by Gordon Murray Automotive was unveiled in 2022, and it was a less extreme supercar than its T.50 sibling but still a serious contender in that segment.
Inspired by the sports cars of the '60s, the T.33 was a more conventional approach to the supercar segment with the driver's seat moved onto the side of the cabin and a look that resembled many other famous vehicles. Moreover, just like the McLaren F1, also designed by Gordon Murray, and the T.50, the T.33 sported the air intake on the roof and the long rear end where the massive V12 engine was housed. Last but not least, the T.33 was less expensive than its extreme brother.
Built on the same platform as the car manufacturer's first project, the T.50, the T.33 featured a longer hood at the front since the cabin was moved towards the center of the vehicle. That helped the carmaker create a lower roofline, but still arched and sloped down to the back. At the front, the LED headlights resembled those from the Porsche 904 and other racing cars from the era when Gordon Murray began penning Formula 1 vehicles for Brabham. At the back, there was no suction fan to cancel the ground effect but a regular grille that covered almost the entire rear fascia. In addition, a set of LED taillights with a circle design adorned it.
Inside, there was room for two occupants. The instrument cluster included a large tachometer dead-center in front of the driver and flanked by two displays. On the low-mounted center console, the automaker installed the gear stick and several other buttons and knobs.
Behind the cabin, Gordon Murray placed a detuned version of the 3.9-liter V12 developed by Cosworth Engineering. In addition, its maximum power was delivered at lower RPMs than on its sibling.
