Think ‘convertibles’ and Gordon Murray is hardly going to be the first name that pops into your head. Convertibles tend to be heavier, less rigid and worse off aerodynamically than a hard-top car. And if you know anything about the sorts of cars that Gordon Murray designs, those aren’t just trifling niggles. And yet, here it is. The first Gordon Murray Automotive roadster: the new T.33 Spider.
Anyone for a 608bhp Cosworth V12 and no pesky ceiling muffling the 11,100rpm engine note?
The T.33 Spider is of course the second T.33 model announced after the hard-top coupe back in 2021, so lots of the stats and facts are familiar. The bespoke naturally aspirated 3.9-litre drives the rear wheels. Only 100 examples will be built. There are two seats inside (choose either left- or right-hand drive) and thanks to a luggage compartment in the nose and two lockers ahead of the rear wheels concealed by beautiful rear-hinged blades, there’s a total of 295 litres of luggage capacity. That’s about a third more than you get from, say, a Ferrari 296 Spider. But you’d expect that, given this costs about six times as much…
But why are you reading this? Hit play and let Professor Gordon Murray and Top Gear Magazine’s Ollie Kew be your guide to this hyper spider.

I have an Alpine A110 which is pretty much the same weight. The thought of sticking a V12 in that boggles my mind - what a car this is!

James May has one too and he LOVES it. He said it's effectively the supercar experience but with a small engine. I also feel that they are gorgeous vehicles ❤

@iits_seb6976 Год назад

Gordon Murray would agree with your car of choice! He says it’s the best no-nonsense driving experience you can reasonably buy, and he only dislikes the lack of storage!

@MitchWebb94 Год назад

@@iits_seb6976 Storage is an issue but it's one you sort of accept when you buy into it (particularly as its ultimately a sports car). The community are great though and have found all sorts of clever ways to increase storage (e.g. storage nets that stick to the material under the doors and behind the seats, bespoke cupholders to improve the existing rubbish 1 into 2 great ones, specific luggage cases that fit perfectly into the frunk).

@sports2hedz542 Год назад

Sweeter than T.50 in my opinion

@spendingtimetogether8428 Год назад

It's beautiful, for sure, but the car's rear half looks stretched, like the 720s: if it could've been compacted it would look even better.

@bicyclist2 Год назад

Gordon is doing what I wanted to do. I love the fact that he went with a manual transmission. The design is so very clean smooth and uncluttered. I love it. I doubt I'll ever even get to see one. Thank you.

@violinmiata Год назад

The T.33 makes me think of what a 1960’s car designer would do with body work given modern technology.

@steffenchristmas1987 Год назад

Great comment, really insightful. I'd be interested to see it in some classic colours such as duck egg blue or a beautiful rosso red. The T.33 Spider really surprised me with some gorgeous lines and an organic purity missing in many overstyled modern cars. It brings to mind the Miura and Alfa 33. Of the GMA cars we've seen so far I think the Spider will still look beautiful when we look back many years later....

@edgarsdzerins Год назад

Masterpiece! Light, manual, V12 ... proper formula!

@delbroox Год назад

I have to say I wasn't a fan of the T.50 but the T.33 is just outstanding. So pretty without compromising on performance, and the fact it's more "contained" and more usable just adds to that. And the profile of this car....wow it just looks so good. And you'll also have to be an actual good driver to drive it!

@allensaunders449 Год назад

Love that sheer hatred Murray has for touchscreens. Don't get me wrong, I love touch screens in cars but imo, when we are talking about cars well worth in millions, analogue gauges just look so much better, if done right. Case in point, that new DeTomaso P72 or whatever. But yeah, love that interior.

@srinathk3830 Год назад

Dumb Tech. Needs 150 steps into the menus to change the air con setting, and you have to stop or take your eyes off the road. And none of them are as good as a phone - laggy, buggy, crashy, outdated. You wear gloves they don't work. Hands slightly wet or sweaty? Don't work. Buttons, knobs, dials, those are true touch devices that don't need your eyes. Touch screens are touch operated SIGHT screens, not touch devices. It's a car, not a phone. A car could just have a place to mount a phone or tablet with USB or Wireless charging and run everything off the phone. Gordon still remembers that cars are meant for driving.

@srinathk3830 Год назад

Also those touch controls on the steering wheel that Ferrari pioneered are a dumber idea, they don't even work well.

@MHassan1986 Год назад

@@srinathk3830 I think if implemented right, touch screens can work well. I own a 2017 Volvo S90 and the climate controls are perma fixed on the screen. So after a few times, you automatically remember where they are without looking away. Their screens also work with gloves because they know that due to the weather in their home country, everyone wears gloves. Its tiny things that make or break the driver's experience. I saw the climate control system on the new BMW i7 and wow, what a clusterfuck of bad design.

@MHassan1986 Год назад

and Yep, haptic feedback buttons should never ever be on a steering wheel. They should always be proper physical buttons.

Absolutely stellar, world altering work.

Beautiful car! Very important point about touch screens. I do wish manufacturers would grow up and realise that just because something is more technologically advanced, it does not make it better. Touch screens in cars for frequently used controls are at best something to put up with and at worst downright dangerous. All oft used controls should be something you can feel and be useable without taking your eyes off the road.
