Gordon Murray has just released the first set of pictures of its highly-expected T.50 hypercar, thirty years after designing the McLaren F1.<\/p>\n

The legendary McLaren F1 was powered by a 6.1-liter BMW V12 engine producing 618 horsepower with a central driver seat, one of the most flexible and swiftest street-legal supercars at that time.<\/p>\n

However, the T.50 hypercar is powered by a Cosworth built V12 engine, which produces 654 horsepower, including a redline of 12,100 rpm. The hypercar is remarkable for its compact and lightweight body weighing 2174 pounds only.<\/p>\n

The T.50 is a three-seater car, and the driver’s seat is in the center of the console. Only 100 models are supposed to be manufactured with a price tag of $3 million, and at that price, taxes are included, just in case you wanted to get one for yourself.<\/p>\n

The T.50 model is a tribute to the McLaren F1 model while improving it as much as possible. “I want this to be the ultimate driver’s car.”, said Gordon Murray. To achieve such a level of perfection, there were many advancements done in the T.50, including its rear-mounted V12 engine. Equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox and its impressive power-to-weight ratio of 3.3 pounds per horsepower, about 13 percent better than the McLaren Senna, the T.50 is all set to beat the McLaren F1.<\/p>\n
