Goodbye to the last analog supercar that deserved the title. The GMA T.50‘s final production run concludes this July, and you probably never had a chance to buy one anyway since all 100 units sold out before assembly began. While Tesla owners debate charging speeds and Porsche pushes another SUV variant, Gordon Murray built the last car that makes you a better driver. Manufacturing ended not because of emissions regulations or market demand, but because Murray achieved automotive perfection in its purest form.
Murray built the T.50 as his farewell letter to naturally aspirated engines and manual transmissions. The Cosworth-developed 3.9-liter V12 screams to 12,100 rpm—a redline that hits harder than your Spotify Wrapped revealing you listened to the same song 847 times. This engineering marvel produces 654 horsepower without a single electron’s worth of hybrid assistance or stability control intervention.
Weighing just 2198 pounds dry, the T.50 makes most modern “lightweight” sports cars look like they’re wearing winter coats. That’s lighter than a Porsche 911 Turbo, yet this machine hits 226 mph and reaches 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. The six-speed manual transmission connects you directly to every gear change—no paddle shifters, no dual-clutch wizardry, just you and the mechanical symphony.
Positioned centrally with two passenger seats flanking the driver, the cockpit echoes Murray’s McLaren F1 blueprint from the 1990s. But where the F1 felt like a rocketship, the T.50 delivers surgical precision. The active rear fan provides downforce without the visual drama of massive wings that Instagram influencers love posing against.
Obsession with weight reduction shows everywhere Murray’s team touched. Carbon fiber monocoque construction, titanium components, and ruthless deletion of unnecessary electronics keep mass low. Even the air conditioning system was engineered for minimal weight impact—because apparently, staying cool shouldn’t compromise cornering dynamics.
Continuing Murray’s philosophy, Gordon Murray Automotive’s Special Vehicles division will unveil two new models at Monterey Car Week this August. These bespoke supercars promise driver engagement over raw performance numbers, though they’ll never match the T.50’s singular vision.
Representing everything modern supercars have abandoned, the T.50 stands as proof that mechanical purity still matters. While competitors chase electric lap times and autonomous features, Murray delivered the last great analog supercar. You missed your chance to own automotive history, but at least you witnessed its final chapter.
