Gordon Murray's T.33S: Track-Focused V12 Fury Headed to Goodwood
Gordon Murray Automotive is bringing its newest beast to the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Not just another pretty face with a big engine, but a track-focused evolution of the already formidable T.33.
The T.33S represents Murray's relentless pursuit of driving purity—something increasingly rare in today's electronically-nannied automotive landscape.
V12 Symphony Gets More Aggressive
The standard T.33 already packs a punch with its 4.0-liter V12 producing 609 hp. This naturally-aspirated masterpiece comes from the same bloodline as the T.50's Cosworth-developed engine that revs to a motorcycle-like 11,500 rpm.
No turbochargers. No hybrid assistance. Just twelve cylinders of mechanical perfection that responds to throttle inputs like an extension of your right foot.
The T.33S will sharpen this formula with track-focused upgrades:
- Enhanced suspension geometry and tuning for razor-sharp cornering
- Upgraded braking systems for fade-resistant stopping power
- Aerodynamic modifications generating substantially more downforce
Murray's Goodwood Homecoming
Goodwood and Gordon Murray share history dating back to 1993 when Murray brought the legendary McLaren F1 to the Festival of Speed. The 2025 event will celebrate 60 years of Murray's design legacy, with the T.33S taking center stage.
The T.33 itself first debuted at Goodwood's Members' Meeting in April 2022. Returning with its more aggressive sibling completes a perfect circle.
Handcrafted Exclusivity
Like its siblings, the T.33S will be meticulously assembled at GMA's Surrey headquarters. The standard T.33 Spider is limited to just 100 units worldwide, making the track variant likely even more exclusive.
Murray's approach stands in stark contrast to mass-produced supercars. Each vehicle receives obsessive attention to detail from engineers who understand that driving experience trumps marketing hype.
The T.33S follows the blueprint established by the T.50s Niki Lauda—a track-only variant weighing under 900 kg and generating a staggering 1500 kg of downforce.
For those wealthy enough to secure an allocation, the T.33S promises to deliver the kind of visceral, analog driving experience that's becoming extinct in today's automotive landscape.
Goodwood's hillclimb will never know what hit it.
