[@canihave1dab724]

Awesome! Now enter it into garage 56 at Le Mans and let’s see if it can gain a racing pedigree!

[@gilbertosantos2806]

Hell Yeah

[@SupraSav]

Gain racing pedigree??? "Gordon Murray Automotive" doesn't have enough racing pedigree for you, Michael Schumacher?

[@aydankhaliq2967]

​@@SupraSav Mate, the Brabham BT55 went racing(still one of my all time favourite cars for how beautiful it is).

[@canihave1dab724]

@@SupraSav bruh, are you simple? The pedigree is for the car itself. I’m not questioning Murray’s resume. He’s a legend and a genius! I love this car and want it to have the same kinda respect the f1 has garnered. ANALOGY: let’s say I breed/train a dog for a dog show and they get first place. does that mean just by having had that success, the next pup in a litter is automatically a champion? Obviously not. Who wouldn’t want to see this thing at Le Mans anyways? Come on!

[@plocky4275]

You realize Garage 56 is an entirely different category for experimental stuff that doesn't race against anyone else on the grid, right? It's a different set of rules altogether. What pedigree are you looking for racing alone?

[@WillReusch]

I just love that GMA is playign a completely different game than other hypercar manufacturers

[@CaptainKedah]

So as Koenigsegg

[@srinitaaigaura]

GMA, doing the maximum with less. GMA shows you just how many things every modern car -- even your humble average family car -- out there -- DOESN'T need. The irony of people buying 2-3 ton SUVs while claiming to be greener in emissions - GMA is the antithesis of such hypocrisy.

[@WillReusch]

@@CaptainKedah yes, a bit with tech and wild innovation, but NOT when it comes to driver experience

[@CaptainKedah]

@WillReusch Have you driven a Koenigsegg and T50 and Compared them??

[@Kyuzeth]

​@@CaptainKedah You're missing the point. The ethoi of both companies are fundamentally different; whereas Koenigsegg is an innovative powerhouse, GMA centers itself around approaching the purest driving experience possible. There's no sense in comparing them when they're doing their own respective things, y'know?

[@rushers24]

Fucking stunning. Gordon built the best sports car on the 20th century. He might have the best one in the 21st century as well. What a legend.

[@guenthermichaels5303]

An engineering achievement.

[@AmbiAnts589]

I've never been so excited for a project that I'll never own or have any connection with other than to see and hear it on videos and hopefully one day in real life. It's so spectacularly beautiful.

[@bramasito]

Encore merci @gdb et leur T5M

[@JN6666]

Darios moaning about the cold.. next shot is an engineer in shorts. 😂

[@k3corvette35]

The dude lived in a warm area of the U.S. for a long time till moving back to UK sort of recently.

[@lefroy1]

Millbrook looks absolutely beautiful in that opening shot. 'Glamorous' maybe not, but a stunner nonetheless. What a track, and _WHAT_ a car!

[@ChosenHandle117]

I think it's glam! What more do you need? What a car, yep.

[@295walk]

Absolutely.

[@nigelwest3430]

I live just down the road from Millbrook and have seen a T50 twice in recent weeks

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

Congrats on building another masterpiece. Hoping this technology trickles down into next gen cars where the everyday man can experience something truly monumental in terms of capabilities.

[@Akeels-Autosports]

Absolutely stunning. Gordon you’re a genius

[@PapaTroll86]

When form and function come together into a masterpiece for the ages. Just as much art as it is a legendary machine. I can't imagine a more exilhirating sensory experience for a dream track car. I would take it over a Valkyrie AMR or Bolide. Personal preference. Regardless, Gordon Murray and his team are effing Wizards.

[@Ramsi-Berlin]

Thanks GMA for building a new dream car ❣️🙏🏼 I need a poster for my wall 😊 Love from Berlin, 🇩🇪 Ramsi 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@readrepairs]

Flames! You gotta like flames

[@azguitar]

Everything about T50s is. . . glorious!

[@stevenhall4444]

Beautiful piece of art

[@ThePilotGear]

oh my god... I need new pants, and I'm at work. We need 'proving grounds' similar to this near Montreal, Quebec, and a T50 at disposal to prove those grounds to be worthy.

[@motobrazzer1565]

I was wondering, is there any Mclaren F1 in Montreal? I used to live there last year, i was hoping seeing one.

[@Pedro5antos_]

This car looks astonishing! AWESOME work from all people involved

[@motobrazzer1565]

What a machine! It's beautiful...

[@GabePlaysYT]

The Bugatti Bolide and the T.50s both had new videos today. Personally, I'm more excited for the latter!

[@dr01d10n]

Very cool. Also spits flames. I enjoy the subtle dialogue which has echoes of 9 Days in Summer.

[@spinmoto180]

Well, GMA just made my day again w/this Update! Always Eagerly Awaiting The Next, Pure Perfection, Such A Beautifully Elegant Design & Simultaneously A Brute Force of Reckoning!

[@lttlejordan23]

What an incredible machine already! Can't wait until we can see this thing at fill tilt 👌

[@benjaminwiner6220]

900 kg = ~1984 lbs 750 hp 750 hp/ 1,984 lbs = ~0.378 hp/weight coefficient Or ~1 hp per ~2.6 lbs (~1.17967 kg) What’s more….the T50s actually has 761 hp @ 11,500 rpm and a redline of 12,100 rpm, which is mind boggling. The McLaren F1 LM weighs 2,341 lbs (~1,062 kg) and produces 671 hp @ 7,800 rpm and has a redline at 8,500 rpm. This yields a hp to weight coefficient of ~0.28663 Or ~1 hp per ~3.4888 lbs (~1.5829 kg) In other words: 100 more hp than a McLaren F1 LM (which had 50 more hp than the standard McLaren F1 and weighed ~160 lbs (~72.6 kg) lighter). And ~357 lbs (~161 kg) lighter than the McLaren F1 LM The T50s produces its power from an engine that is 2 liters smaller and revs over 3,500 rpm higher.

[@Swole4hoez]

Can't wait for the nurburgring lap POV

[@happycanayjian1582]

I can’t wait to see this thing used properly like the weapon it is. It’ll look and sound so good.

[@Smokkedandslammed]

Hey, thats my car! Thanks for taking such good care of it, ill have my Chinook pick it up to bring back to my super yatch. Just put it on my tab, thanks again guys.

[@AmbiAnts589]

1:39 I love this shot. 900kg... this thing is insane.

[@guillaume_Chr]

900 kg with Dario lol !

[@patricklilly2520]

WHAT A MACHINE!!!

[@danapeck5382]

Thanks, another treat of an episode, much appreciated

[@lestercombs1871]

Couldn’t name it any better.

[@_jnvs]

This track machine is breathtakingly beautiful, thanks GMA😊

[@stevenhaggar132]

G'day movers and shakers. As a real fan of fancar I'm astonished and reckon its wonderful how Gordon and the team put a passenger seat in.. for me or some other lunatic, as I race it full noise ?. Yeahnah, what a bloody magnificent project. Good on ya GMA!

[@neoanderson7]

Let the flames continue!!! 🙂 This thing is going to be a total animal.. Well done guys. Too bad I don't have that type of money to pick one up...

[@nickrath4545]

Uncork this bad boy already😍

[@SupraSav]

Ah, the curse of being poor. Left to spectate these works of art. I think one of the reasons it grows on me more than I already love it is because it looks a bit like one of my favourite childhood cars head on, the Saleen S7. 1:39

[@elcasho]

Your cameras are so crisp! And the car gorgeous!

[@poucxs9246]

Can't wait to hear it on wide open !

[@skarademirlidag]

I see... People finaly back to the old school days... Raw pleasure of machine and man power... Loud pipes very basic interiors and pure driving pleasure. I am glad to see such days in my 34 :) superlite coupe, ultima rs, Hennessey venom f5 and this f1 engine car 🎉🎉🎉

[@gabrielbarcellos1036]

Simplesmente tô apaixonado nesse carro, espero que lancem vídeos com mais frequência

[@srinitaaigaura]

Those shifts are basically instant. The pitch change of the engine noise is virtually instantaneous. One moment it is in one pitch, next moment a lower pitch. Never seen anything like it outside F1 or Moto GP - it doesn't seem to shift as much as announce that it is already in the next gear while the mind looks for some sign of a shift. If the Koenigsegg LST is like lightning, this IGS sounds like it's quantum tunnelling.

[@k3corvette35]

I Gotta Feeling whenthe first one of these shows up at a track day everybody's going to pull off just so they can watch this thing on track and hear that thing scream. Hopefully there will be buyers of these that actually DRIVE THEM !!!

[@r129r16pfl]

Smaller size R18 with meaty tires look so good, one thing I wished road car had a size smaller wheels like this race car has.

[@Fester_]

Excellent, thanks. Good luck.

[@Mastermindthreethousand]

The most anticipated car to enter the automotive world in 2024, for me.

[@mtnvalley9298]

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

What a job Dario has!

[@captain_context9991]

Oooh, what a teaser.

[@giorgosarifoglu953]

A masterpiece...that car needs to go to Le Mans and make history. Do it do it do it do it. !!!!! Go to Le Mans pleaseeeeeee

[@anydaynow01]

This is such a magnificent project! It would be awesome if you guys designed a small bare bones mid engine h-shift I-3 trackday toy for the "every man". Then provide retroactive upgrade options for it to make a bit more profit like turbo kits, Öhlins suspension upgrades and the like. Heck, there could even be a fan aero package upgrade for it! This way the base car price is somewhat reasonable and the driver can upgrade it over time as they get more cash. Maybe even have an option to send it in a crate for final assembly in a garage to keep the price lower.

[@nightshifted]

They did this with Yamaha a few years back. 27k GBP base price. But a leadership change at Yamaha killed the project.

[@danielwillits2173]

Pretty sure I saw an Aston Martin barrel role down that hill once 🤔

[@duncanbleak3819]

What a sound!

[@somenygaard]

I really hope us regular folk can get our fix for these cars by driving them in GT7. Please allow them to add the car to the game!!

[@manowar2943]

That car it's beautiful and sounds amazing ❤

[@japcarjunkie]

What a beautiful machine that is!!!

[@williemandowa]

This car is going to be epic! I like the T50S over the regular T50. Wonder if any of the owners will take them to Lazante for road car conversion.

[@DontForgetOldKolobok]

Centre seater....upright centre wiper.. Amazing

[@srinitaaigaura]

Well F1 has a Halo now, so this isn't much of an issue when your eyes can see around it. Besides when driving on a track, you're looking to the next corner entry and exit all the time.

[@eggplantrenew6804]

The most incredible SPORTS CAR IN THE WORLD !!!!!!!!!!!

[@bizling]

5:26 0 degrees and naturally there is a man in shorts! Normally seen at any UK race track in winter.

[@daniellewis762]

[@spongesurf12]

I wish there could be a car that looks 80-90% as cool, is light (2500lb or less) and handles amazingly, and costs $50K or less. Everything we get with pricing for normal folks is so compromised. Oh, and I do love the 50 and 50s but I think my favorite of the family is T.33.

[@paulwood6729]

That red is gorgeous.

[@2kanchoo]

[@MBS..]

Don’t forget RedBulls new hypercar coming out with a 15k rpm V10. that’s put in a 900kg body with 1000hp

Nooooo! Don't show me those flames and leave me there just hanging! :D

[@MetikalMan]

I sure hope Indycar gets this transmission. Why don’t we convince GMA to design the next Indycar! It would be beautiful and functional. Maybe he can convince Cosworth to return as well.

[@limericklad2000]

The front splitter and canards completely change the character of the front of the car. Got to be honest I'm not a massive fan (pun intended) of the front end of the road going car, but add the splitter and canards and it becomes absolutely striking. Pity it's not for use on the road.

[@alrightsally2748]

[@bobsmoot8454]

What a beast-mobile, light weight mixed with a screaming V12 makes for insanity. If you need a “normal “ Guy to demo any of the GMA vehicles, just contact me I’ll somehow make room in my schedule to accommodate you all.

[@kosmokat111]

[@yadvendrasharma1014]

Is this car going to take part in any of the wec or imsa race? If yes, then which category?

[@rafaellastracom6411]

The road going version´s bodywork, beautiful as it is, strikes me as a bit too rounded or organic for my taste. However, this version with all of the wings and vents necessary for the aerodynamics to work properly comes very, very close to aesthetic perfection. Truly stunning. Who would have thought that the original F1 would be outdone? Not me, that´s for sure. Congratulations.

[@debugin1227]

Interesting to see how they have made the pedals so thin to shave on weight! The T50 should have been designed the same way as the T50s though. T50s looks so much more aggressive.

Or how the GT3 RS NA engine was the best until the T50 engine came along and how Porsche sacrificed the lower end for the 5-9k rpm pull, but Cosworth's engine pulls like a train everywhere.
