The Gordon Murray T.33, whose design inspiration comes from the 60s, is preparing to hit the asphalt as the second car of its brand.
Gordon Murray, who left important traces behind with his motor sports and automobile history, has taken place in the minds of many as the designer of McLaren F1. Despite being in his mid-70s today, Murray, who has never lost his passion for automobiles and shows that age is just a number, has been facing a brand new challenge in his career for the last few years. Murray and his team, who introduced the T.50 model for the first time in 2020 through the brand that he brought to life under his own name, this time unveils a project that makes supercar dynamics more suitable for daily use. Gordon Murray T.33, born from the idea of creating a more practical car without compromising the engine and mechanics, makes the stars appear in our eyes with the Cosworth signed V12 machine.
Gordon Murray T.33 technical specifications
Expressing that he set out to take us to the 60s during the design process of the car, Murray states that he was inspired by the names of the era such as the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale and Lamborghini Dino. It is not difficult to feel that there is a dream to create a timeless character here, just like in the inspired models. The figures that meet the expectations in the engine as well as the structure in the design of the vehicle are waiting for the users. The 3.9-liter twelve-cylinder engine produces 615 PS of power and 451 Nm of torque. In the shared data, the 11,100-cycle “redlight” is among the exciting parts as well as the power. We see that the T.33, which feels like it is positioned below the T.50 in terms of power and maximum speed, is also positioned a little higher on the weight side. The weight of 986 kilograms, which brought the reference badge to the T.50 in its segment, appears here as 1,100 kilograms.

Aerodynamic lines? Yes please!
In this part of the car, which we see developed on a completely new chassis in a monocoque structure, aluminum alloys are used together with carbon. Among the infrastructure elements developed specifically for the model, the designs drawn by considering the aerodynamic elements are among the ones that should be mentioned separately. We see that the structure in the lower part of the vehicle is shaped by passive aerodynamic elements based on wind resistance. This section plays an important role in the success of the vehicle in terms of downforce as well as evacuation. On the suspension side, the double wishbones independent architecture is used in the car, and the fact that the steering system is built directly on a concrete hydraulic structure instead of electricity is “ancient but golden”. It is also worth noting that Brembo’s carbon ceramic calipers are preferred on the brake side. It will be necessary to sacrifice 1.85 million dollars for the Gordon Murray T.33, which is announced to be produced in 100 units in total. For the deliveries of the model, it will be necessary to wait until 2024.
