DRIVING PERFECTION -GORDON MURRAY T-50 WITH DARIO FRANCHITTI

[@The_action_is_the_juice]

Finally someone gets it. The answer is not heavier and more HP. This is the direction car companies need to go. Concentrate on efficiency and lightweight.

[@floatingonairandwater]

Like Lotus used to do. Colin Chapman and Gordon Murray are right about that.

[@TheDCJason]

Well, Porsche has a similar philosophy. At least with the RS line

Thank you Magnus for highlighting the fan. This hasn’t received enough attention in reviews of this car. Seems too much for many journalists to fully appreciate.

[@JednaBelda]

My thought exactly, great to have this covered, another astonishing piece of tech.

[@skywalk3x]

This is why I love this car. It’s not about HP, it’s all about the enjoyment of driving in the cars dynamics. There’s cars with close to 1800HP and it’s not usable everyday. Wish we all could experience this, afford it too lol

[@AlbertManiscalco]

He likes to pretend he didn’t steal the idea straight from Gianni Agnelli… but Italians know better where the idea came from 😉 Of course, nothing wrong with taking the idea, but certainly credit where you got it…otherwise, we’re gonna look at you sideways 😏 when you try to take full credit

[@DrRobotnik.]

@@AlbertManiscalco Nothing wrong with taking others good ideas.

[@AlbertManiscalco]

@ no not at all. The problem is that he’s pretending like he came up with it.

[@Dakkyun]

​@@AlbertManiscalco It's more likely the result of wanting to put the driver in the center, where u put the passengers? That's right, flanking both sides of the driver so, it's just natural engineering, if one doesn't come to that conclusion first someone else will, and someone else will again, and may have not seen each other work.

[@AlbertManiscalco]

@ cool story, but the timeline doesn’t add up. He got the idea from the 365. End of story… no matter what you say, guess which one came first? Therefore, even if he didn’t get the idea from him, which he obviously did, (for reference he started working in F1 in 69 and the 365 was created in 66), so history shows who came up with it first, regardless, and that can’t be rewritten no matter how much he (and his worshipers) try to pretend he didn’t get the idea from the 365 😁 even in the video, they make a point of the fact that he “was into everything cool 20 years ago” they essentially make him out to be a hipster, so there is zero chance he wasn’t aware of the 365… and I will grant you that three seats in that orientation is the superior set up, however, only somebody who is a fanboy would take your perspective. It’s obvious to anybody else... and it’s OK that he took the idea. It’s just that he’s been given full credit and in all the interviews, I’ve seen him in while doing promotion for this car it became clear that he wasn’t trying to give any credit and was taking full advantage of the fact that nobody remembers. Also, don’t get me wrong he’s probably my favorite living car designer by a wide margin, but the fact that he tries to take full credit for the idea has always rubbed me wrong

[@PaulMathias1]

I never followed Dario throughout his Indycar career, but I'm glad I've been exposed to him since. He is obviously very knowledgeable and talented, but he seems a really decent bloke. He'd make an excellent motoring journalist.

[@jonathanstensberg]

Sadly his racing career was cut short by injury in a serious wreck. One of the best drivers in his prime.

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

He and his Brother Marino are among my favorite car reviewers, along with Chris Harris. I can’t stand the schmeee, broken glass or DDE types. In other words, appreciate true drivers vs people that do it for attention or status. It’s so cringe

[@josephkelly4893]

Great chat gents, Magnus knows what questions to ask, Dario knows more than enough to give educated answers

[@nightshifted]

Thank you for leaving all the dialogue in! For a GMA aficionado, it’s a treat to hear every word!

Just read Magnus’ book whilst sat in a hospital waiting room for 7 hours. Great story, and an amazing story of how someone can go from nothing to wealth based on his own smarts. Congrats on that book Magnus.

[@Ramsi-Berlin]

Ich bin Gordon Murray und GMA so dankbar für den Bau des T50 & T33 ❣️🙏🏼 Das sind super Sportwagen für mich ❕👍🏼 Kein übertriebenes Tech Festival, kein Auto wie ein Computerspiel... sondern pures fahren in Perfektion 😊 Auch das Cosworth diesen wunderschönen Motor gebaut hat dafür, ist Klasse 👌🏼 Ich hoffe, ich kann irgendwann einen dieser Fahrzeuge live erleben... aber wahrscheinlich muss ich dafür zum FOS nach UK 😅 Danke Magnus ❤️ Alles Liebe für 2025 und einen dicken Knutscha aus Berlin 🇩🇪, Ramsi 😘 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@einautofan6685]

Frohes neues Jahr, Ramsi! Ja, "Tech" is hier auch jede Menge verbaut, aber nur da wo es auch wirklich Sinn macht! Ansonsten liegt der Fokus hier auf dem Wesentlichen! Gut, der Fan hinten gefällt mir optisch immer noch nicht so wirklich... Aber es geht ja auch um Performance und ultimatives Fahrverhalten! Ja, auch wenn der F1 marginal schöner aussieht, so ist der T.50 definitiv das bessere Auto! Wobei beide Motoren etwas spezielles haben! Das geile Ansauggeräusch des S70 im F1, genauso wie der Hochdrehzahlsound im T.50!😍 Auf jedenfall hat hier Gordon sein 2. Meisterwerk für's Leben geschaffen!👌 Aber der T.33 gefällt mir auch! Fast gleich viel Drehzahl und Sound aber ein mehr klassisches Sportwagen Design und Layout. Für Leute, denen ein T.50 zu exotisch oder extrem ist...

[@Ramsi-Berlin]

@einautofan6685 Hey, Frohes neues Jahr, Kevin ❣️🍀😃 Find den T33 auch hübscher als den T50... aber in der Mitte sitzen im Straßenfahrzeug, is halt auch mega. Ich brauche praktisch 'n T50 und ein T33 Spider 😜 Normalerweise mag ich keine Spider... lieber Coupés... aber beim T33 kann man die hintere Scheibe runter fahren... das ist bei dem Motor bestimmt Ohrgasmisch 🤩 Die beiden Carbondach Elemente passen vorne in den Kofferraum ❕☝🏼 So, kann ich mir ein offenes Auto noch vorstellen 😄 Sei lieb gegrüßt aus Berlin, Ramsi 🙋🏻‍♂️

GMA sold out all their first run of cars stright out the gate, that's 325 not inexpensive cars all spoken for, that's bloody impressive for a brand new car maker. I don't remember how well pagani or koenigsegg did when they first started, but they would not have sold as many as that, mind you a car designed by Gordon Murray is an automotive equivalent of a painting by picasso, the values of those cars will only go up

Henry C is the only journalist I’ve seen actually driving the T50. I know that there’s zero upside as all are sold, but why do these if they feel more like marketing efforts.

Extraordinary project. GMA has provided a livable supercar that has more emotion, more engagement, and more simplicity than anything from today's top tier performance cars. I am so glad a car has been built to emotion and feel rather than braggadocios numbers. High price and extreme exclusivity are inevitable, but I would say this is still a bargain investment for the lucky few who received an allotment.

[@pl-jn1fn]

I'm impressed with a lot of these high end cars for one one thing or another, but this I'm in love with, I think that's the difference and what makes GMA stand out. Murray just plays a different game to all other supercar makers, he stands alone from thought process to production of a car, Gordon makes the kind of cars that he'll enjoy driving himself, and he is able to translate the emotions and feelings he wants with his engineering prowess and stick it on four tyres😀

[@bastee2727]

What a machine 😊🙌🏻

[@Klarkash-Ton]

This has gotta be the best car anyone makes right now. Even the more spectacular Porsches weigh 1,000lbs more than this, and the characteristics of lower weight are something you just can't entirely fake with clever engineering. You'll never out-engineer good fundamentals.
