Murray is a gentle genius. He doesn't need to impress us, his work does it for him. And on top of it all he has an unbelievable aesthetic eye, designing beautiful and efficient cars. I'd compare him to Nathaniel Herreshoff, who designed the most beautiful and the fastest racing yachts in the early 20th century. His F1 cars were the most beautiful and the fastest of their periods, like the Brabham BT-52 or the McLaren MP4/4

[@tadficuscactus]

Gordon Murray is a no bullshit, purist, pragmatist. I love his thinking and design philosophy.

[@superfost2001]

That's precisely what's fascinating about him (and Harry coming to think of it). When you look at Jung’s 16 personality types people seem to fall (almost invariably) either in one of two camps: creative design or pragmatism… it’s almost mutually exclusive and it’s very rare to find people who combine those two traits. No wonder the car is a literal engineering beauty.

What a breath of fresh air Gordon Murray is. Loved the bit about the size of the wheels and the flashing multi-function, strobing indicators and the other nonsense that car manufactures come out with. Also couldn't agree more with the comments about cars getting bigger and heavier. Harry is a legend, he's clever enough to know he's got a genius in front of him and he lets Gordon do the talking rather than interrupting as a lot of less competent people would do.

[@gigiminiotti]

Yes I've been thinking for quite some time about this nonsensical fashion of enlarging, lengthening, widening. Take the humble Polo for example, or the even humbler Punto: they're now at least 30% bigger and wider than their ancestors, the Polo originally conceived as a practical little eurobox, her sibling now as big as a series 6-7 Golf, the old series 2 Punto a compact and nimble-looking (appearances can be deceiving...) little thing, now a ponderous oversized object with wannabe-a-D segment delusions. Or the Ka, or the Fiesta. In times when traffic congestion, parking spaces, fuel prices and whatsnot are crucial issues, I think car designers ought to focus on achieving the same modern standards of comfort and economy without listening to marketing gurus and proxy copycats 'suggestions'. Now, a modern and efficient, downsized environment- and wallet -friendly, no-nonsense vehicle would be the real new boy in town! Having said this, as regards the T.50, I think that Mr Murray has just made an outstanding, free-thinking and genial comeback, and he couldn't have had a more appropriate interviewer than our usual intelligent, classy, elegantly competent Harry Metcalfe: the various Top Gears, Jay Lenos, Doug De Muros etc (just who the heck do they think they are?) can quietly sit down, have their 2 pints of Pumpkin Spice Starbucks, count their USD and hope, one day, to have Harry's Garage style and casual professionalism. Though I doubt that very much.

Harry and Gordon, two amazingly humble, and brilliantly minded enthusiasts in one place! Gordon is such a regular, no nonsense, but fun chasing "man's man", that I feel like it extends that affectation to his car as well. I want to believe every word he says because the compassion for his creation is so genuine. I'm very happy there's a follow up to the F1, I'll surely never see, or drive one, but knowing such a car is out there, and a man like Gordon persists as an asset to the now, and the future of our dream cars, gives me hope, and a smile. GG sir! And thank you Harry, for asking all the right questions, once again, brilliantly attacking a subject with calm, and sincerity, while his smile gives away the internal childlike amazement so well restrained, my knees would be shaking as if I were playing the solo to Comfortably Numb with David Gilmour watching. Coolness in action.

[@UzairH]

1:19 that is one BEAUTIFUL engine! I LOVE the fact that this comes with a naturally-aspirated engine, in a world where every car from the soccer mom SUV to the highest performing Le Mans prototypes and F1 cars are using turbos for "easy" power, a pure NA engine revving high is like a slice of car heaven. And again I swear as pretty as the T50 looks that engine surpasses the car itself in beauty and engineering elegance!

[@huyra8019]

the front facia isnt for me and its an unattainable future collector car, would lobe to see the tech trickle down to something reasonable but this is the coolest thing ive seen since the huyra

[@mikemoggerson6651]

Turbos, atleast in their modern form, are boring, lame, lifeless, etc. In my opinion of course. Tbh, I don’t even consider forced induction cars to be in the same class as NA. That’s why I hate it when people compare cars like the 720s to the 812 super fast. When is a terrible sounding, boring v8 with a lifeless engine. The other is a screaming NA V12 making 800 horses from 12 big cylinders. There’s just not a comparison, you could stick a turbo or two in the 812 and it would be making 1000+ hp. But that’s just boring....

[@huyra8019]

@@mikemoggerson6651 I dont think you can really say that one car is beneath another due to engineering differences. I love the Huayra because the chassis is amazing and it is vilified by people who peddle the ideology that N/A cars are the best things ever made. Its hard to love cars that are made through the resentment of the present. i like the idea of looking into the past, but if it dosent improve the future and is only made to appease those who look into the past. why even bother making the t50 in the first place.

Yep he is right. Bigger wheels make everything worse. Weight, acceleration, tyre costs, the ride quality, handling/steering... If you visit a track you will see people running as small size of wheels they can fit over the brakes. That can be as small as 14-15" if they can make it work.

The thing is most people when they fail to utilize common sense and logic so someone helps them explain something as a counter argument they call you a hater. This use to be called constructive criticism now you are just a stupid hater... Sure some people do ignorantly hate on everything because it's their nature but it turned to this where everyone who says even one word is a hater. That is their only argument. The most common "stop being a salty hater" or recently just "you're salty". It's really pathetic. This is why we have all these political social justice agendas and other similar crap. Mentally ill people parading their toxic shit on the streets that's all ok, they do something bad and someone calls them out for it they pull a victim card. You're racist, homophobe and bunch of other shit. While if someone who works their ass off and pays the bills, pays tax and with it funds these clowns parading their agendas, if this working person gets sick, shot or whatever then who gives a shit, let him die. It use to be different now it's if you are an incompetent degenerate idiot you are most likely glorified, protected and funded while if you are normal you are relevant as a spec of dust.
