T.50 VLOG | EPISODE #16 | THE ITALIAN VLOG

[@simono.sniper3214]

More, more, more...please. Thanks GMA and Dario.

[@sickjohnson]

Yes, what Simon said...or Billy Idol...MORE MORE MORE....please and thank you guys!!!!

[@tsmith7146]

I loved the F1 as soon as i saw it for the first time on the Autocar cover of 3rd June 1992 and have idolised it ever since. T50 and T33 the same. GM designs just do it for me and if was filthy rich, i'd have an F1, T50, T33 and whatever comes next. I love the GM ethos and love these T50 videos. Please, though, Gordon - can you lend your amazing talents to Toyota to produce a small 4 pot MR2 or maybe help design a new Smart Roadster; one last mid engined cheap(ish) runabout/roadster before everything finally goes electric. Doesn't have to be fast; just fun, light, compact and bring the GM magic to the masses. Please!

[@Captain_bl_007]

Yes having a gma designed car for the masses, would be a dream

[@Lemingtona-x5g]

they got the design from toyota mr2

[@GiGaSzS]

Thank you Gordon Murray. For creating a car that goes back to the basics but is nevertheless a beauty. Nowadays with extravagant car designs and functionality is really needed to have a car to look up to.

[@floodo1]

Can’t wait to see one in person. I suspect it’s more beautiful in the flesh than on camera! Just listen to how easily that engine revs!

[@spinmoto180]

Thanks to Dario & GMA for allowing us peasants to at least Ride-Along in the T.50 with all of it's Epic Glory! What a Machine! and Beyond the Machine, the High Art of Brilliance!

[@Andres_1970]

Maybe what Dario feels sitting in the middle of the car is the same I do when riding a sport bike/motorcycle. I find myself totally focused on the road and the machine. It's like a predisposition to "be there","now" ; (Increased Sense of Occasion) out of necessity (safety) and it becomes a kind of therapy session, 2 or 3 hours of ZEN ...

[@natelasaede8296]

So much to look forward too, these videos are getting better & longer & we still have T.33 to come. I hope there will be a book like Driving Ambition (which I have) on these the last of the purist analog driving machines.

[@lorddoobsworth144]

6:52 lovely angle of the T.50 😍

[@matthiaskoehler1504]

Thank you GMA for this special insides of the development despite the most of us are not lucky customers!

[@rush6227]

There has been some phenomenal machinery brought to the road in recent years. I would choose this over everything else without hesitation. A masterpiece...does it really have a rival.

[@jimjimmy3131]

AMAZING. Thank you Mr. Gordon and all of the rest of the team for this masterpiece.

[@6th.replicant577]

Informative, honest and understated. Unlike the smarm merchant who does similar-ish vids for Aston. Very interested to know how T.50 behaves on motorways. Will it be a relaxed cruiser, with acceptable sound insulation - ie, unlike *any* current Porsche 911 or Cayman / Boxster - and how many revs will the V12 be pulling when cruising at c. 85mph (137km/h) in 6th? More please!

[@LapoftheWorld]

Definitely would be neat to get some HD binaural audio POV of the car in various situations (since most of use will never experience that 1st hand). As a "vintage" NSX owner I agree that a sports/exotic's usability depends as much on its ability to just chill out on the interstate/motorway as it's ability to thrill on a backroad. It's basic engineering to make a car do one or the other, it's high art to make a car excel at both.

[@srinitaaigaura]

The tall 6th is like a 7th gear and it maxes out at 420 kmph or more. So it will pull like 3500-4000 rpm.

[@amazin7006]

I believe the top gears are quite long to beat the F1's top speed

[@markdean3217]

Makes me proud to be British ❗️👍🏻😊

[@PokriPoki]

When do you think you will actually launch the car? Its been promoted for almost 5 years now?

[@einautofan6685]

Piece of automotive Art!😎😍👌

[@christianbuczko1481]

Its a stunner, i love that tiny size, its cute and i think massively under estimated as to how good it will be without all the showey wings and flaps.

[@JRacerActual]

It's so great. I'm glad I'm alive to see it.

[@crtgamer2355]

At cruising speeds, it sounds like a plane on the runway, incredible!

[@scuderiapraga6815]

MOAR!

[@deejay8ch]

Who needs anything else when you've got this sort of eye-catching, air-slicing, asphalt-caressing, musically-roaring, singing and screaming tease that overstimulates the senses and leaves you wanting more? Makes me want to go out and drive straight at the first dirty big pothole I see to shake me back to my senses. Driver-centric. Fits three. Light. Naturally aspirated. Manual. Looks like forbidden fruit in red. An fn automotive masterpiece in the making to say the least. I'm off to have an ice bath to recover.

[@Kronos0999]

But I'm sure you remain undeterred - or is that undie turd? I'll leave it to you to beat around the bush and have the last word. Look ford to it.

[@AleksandrHalas]

Impeccable supercar!!!

[@CanIbeFrank]

My dream is to drive one

[@PBazBarrett]

That car sounds amazing! sounds like it's from the peak of F1..

[@andrewoneill144]

Do you remember how inaccessible any information about the McLaren F1 used to be. That definitely added to its cache

[@leslienordman8718]

Very nice production. Nice use of drones. Good levels for the music--I mean the music apart from T.50's engine. Those levels were not too high. Good variety of shots: low level, driver reaction, aerial. Dario, I notice you hardly ever revved the engine much. It looks like you were trundling around, riding the engine's torque. How was that for you? Thanks!

[@mattylf1]

I bet that turned a few heads !. Epic sound that echoed around Goodwood when I saw it, so what the sound would be like in the streets of Italy.

[@Revelstoke-Banff]

Watching a master driver fine tune a car = EPIC !!! what a journey this has been, that I have followed since the start !

[@mogulmayhem]

how will the starbuck's drivethru work if you're sitting in the middle of the car?

[@frankchan5547]

Or indeed a parking building? Nothing so trifling for T50 owners

This is how a perfect day looks like. What a car!

[@omairsh8]

Absolutely LOVE that colour!

[@innerlightfilms]

The T.50 is what all sports cars should strive to be. Driver focused and oriented. HP and top speed is only part of the equation.

[@khackett7]

The suspension and ride height is maybe the most bonkers thing to me about Gordon’s cars.

[@srinitaaigaura]

Hydraulic lifters add 35 kg. And softer springs mean more suspension travel. Now you know why he does it.

[@amazin7006]

He says his favorite car ever is the Lotus Elan for its suspension and handling so he tries to make his cars match it. The f1 was supposedly made to feel similar.

[@dariandareyawasmer6074]

Is it still pushing in the corner?

[@Gaudine]

The gearbox whine inside gets tiring really quick. You guys said this won’t be like a road legal race car but it’s so noisy inside it’s unbearable. Will the finished product have more noise isolation?

[@r129r16pfl]

hope not, because low weight is more important, you want quite - buy a Bentley.

[@srinitaaigaura]

Yes.

[@Andres_1970]

Mr. Franchitti, wouldn't you like to take that car to the new ZANDVOORT... Please @PlanetGMA !

[@matthewwilliams1155]

Wow more of this please I love t50 I love t33 more ❤️

[@danveneziano565]

The genius of the McLaren F1 is still amazing. The GMA T-50 and T-33 are amazing as well

[@Andres_1970]

I know this isn't original but, at 02:15 the background engine sound, besides the music, is very subtle & strongly emotional at the same time; and the CC Close Captions goes : [Music] of course ! Great Clip thanks !

[@philiprowney]

I saw Dario fighting the urge to grin the whole time he was talking about the central driving position. I would ;-)

That roar in the tunnel...

[@billcarpenter5271]

How is the steering feel? Can you demonstrate the fan system with the engine off? Dreams...

You never found that “ice cream” shop ?

[@Hello_there_obi]

Aside from it looking slab-sided for the three-seat layout, the looks are REALLY growing on me. Just wish they'd fix the exhaust noise and make it more throaty and raspy. It doesn't have the addictive brutality that the f1 had. Sounds too smooth like a superbike engine.

[@frankchan5547]

Noise regulations no doubt play a part

[@barrybritcher]

Do they swap the shifter side for Yanks?

[@CharlezEggs]

Very cool, but It sounds just like like my washing machine.

[@williamoleary9330]

Is this a machine.

[@GS-fk8dw]

install a kevlar plate on the bottom so there isn't road noise from pebbles and stones hitting it, it's annoying to listen to that while driving

[@jryalls]

The floor is flat and Carbon already. You get that on pretty much all Carbon Monocoque chassis’s.

[@srinitaaigaura]

Yeah that's a no no on any road car. The F1 never made that noise. The P1 was atrocious with gravel.

The world is run by vampires, or possibly mermaids. He wants people to love his car. They all want the love that's in a mouses heart. They sometimes send a mouse (as they sometimes call us) to hell forever and they communicate this fact using a code that's put into pretty much everything. I'm the "u" in this "divinchi code" or sometimes the "o". They sing in songs about it. People who are famous are likely vampires or possibly mermaids but either way the same thing. We have an inner light called "chi" or "ki" and word play like "div" "in" "chi" is their kras way of communicating the truth. They want people to know... who are doomed to an awful fate. We should be saying heaveno instead of hello because words have power and "well" in divinchi code means down into darkness and we should be saying heavencome or hicome instead of welcome. They send all mice to hell but sometimes they send a mouse to hell forever and they like to watch.
