Gordon Murray new 725bhp T.50s Niki Lauda supercar plus what to expect next from GMA 

shame they're foreign as most modern gurus tend to be. What happened to us??

@@user-ht9fr6eh9u We got soft. Sometimes our attitude seems like "feelings over competence".

The cars he creates, unreal!!!

I hope owners get one of ‘those’ Hawaiian shirts with every T50 purchase from the last video 🥳😂

@@user-ht9fr6eh9u OUR Harry. Foreign to you maybe....

The weird thing is, that you can't say anything, but somehow you feel better after watching this. Thank you!

I wish some real questions were asked

@@allensaunders449 Like how did you manage to come to that price?

At times its two older gentleman sounding like two older gentleman with all that entails

Harrys a popular guy no argument there but legend? Im not quite sure you understand exactly who Gordon Murray is.

Thats a British mic drop.

Ok boomer bugatti bolide aston martin valkire and new mercedes will all kill this car on track and they are all cheaper.

@@littrandemakerjovy3770 Yep sure they will, not doubting that. This though is made for the driver's experience (central driving position, naturally aspirated sound, etc).

@@DuGongggg The Valkyrie will most likely beat it for driving experience aside from being left hand drive. 1000hp N/A v12 and LMP1 levels of performance.

@@stubones Valkyrie has a claimed 1800kg of downforce and weighs 1.000 kgs. T.50S has 1500 kgs of downforce and weighs 852 kgs. It has the same contact patch as the Valkyrie, but with lighter weight. And the downforce to weight ratio if the T.50S is not that far off the Valkyrie (1.8 for Valkyrie vs 1.76 for T.50S), however the T.50 will be faster round the corners due to having a lighter weight with the same contact patch of tire. Valkyrie has a double seat arrangements which will upset the balance of the car. T.50S is a centre seat car which doesn’t have that problem. Valkyrie will have the edge on a straight line, T.50S will have the edge round a corner, this will be the ket but the Valkyrie wouldn’t destroy the T.50S, it’s too heavy. Valkyrie vs T.50S is perfectly balanced. And it’ll produce similar lap times. Don’t even get me started with the Mercedes, in terms of downforce to weight it’s horrible. At 1400 kgs and only 675 kg of downforce with only 1000 hp, it’ll be a pig compared to the other two. Will probably only be slightly faster than the GT2RS. Only the Bolide has the ability to “kill” this car. Even then, no one can buy it. There’ll be at least 25 of these for you to buy in the future if you’re successful enough.

Know what, you're right!

But with x1,25 speed otherwise you fall asleep

Too true, GuanJun 1. I suppose my only questions would be: Why not have the more powerful engine in the regular car? Longevity? Usability? How did they lose as much as 134kg (?) from the road car? (I'll admit I haven't watched this video yet - haven't the time right now! - but I have these questions from the GMA video.)

Instant silence across the automotive world.

@@julianevans9548 I won't be buying one but good questions? With Mr Murray, I have no worries about how he does things. It will work.

Virtually identical except for power to weight ratio. Slight difference there I think.

What was its name?

Lol

You can carry more passengers too

Bet your car sounds like crap😂

Thanks. I was concerned whether this would work out okay but then decided I could make it more like an illustrated podcast so went for it. Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated!

@@harrysgarage This was as good as it could possibly be under the circumstances. The fact that it was on Zoom did not detract from the quality of the content, just made the anticipation of you actually driving one all the more...betterer...yes I know it's not a proper word but... Full circle today watching Retro Power talking about Gordon's Escort and then this, excellent British engineering content. Have you spoken to Ian Callum yet? Oh and Iain Tyrell's Classic Workshop...so much quality.

@Valkyrie's 007 very true 👌

You mean Flop Gear mate !!!

@@kjcsomerville hey champ that's really interesting. Next time, keep it to yourself.

@@user-je6ld8do9u Nah the new top gear sucks

Shame it will be rare as hen's teeth. They'll all be in collectors "car house" appreciating.

You could add brabham 62 and czinger 21C. Probably others. But you will have to search collector's garages for them

GT2RS is ultimate answer. Because it drives. Other cars stays in garage. Except FXX-K. There is videos on youtube where this cars is driven.

Don't forget the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12,one of the best sounding cars ever.

@@allensaunders449 The Czinger...is that ever going to come out? also I can't take a car seriously if it sounds like a KFC burger.

I'm sure he agrees

I think the same ❕😊👌🏼 Love from Berlin 🇩🇪 Ramsi 🙋🏻‍♂️

I wish it retained the 2 side fins behind the tires. The back end only exists for the two rear lights lol. It feels literally like the back on an ATV with those huge tires all open.

Cars are limited because otherwise the racing is atrocious. BPR was great until Murray ruined it, then GT1 was ruined when Merc nicked his chassis and beat the championship to death with it.

Why not he had nothing bad to say harry loved it great pub for mr. Murry

And 1500kgs of downforce! And if I heard correctly, they managed to get 1900kgs before they decided to tone it down. These numbers are just mental - I literally can’t wrap my head around them.

Correct 🙌

Everyone has their own unique vision. That makes the world go around

@@DavyBrando "I literally can’t wrap my head around them." GTP and Group C cars were over 4000 kg back in the early '90s.

I thought it was a mistake when he said 850 kilos. I had to google it to make sure. That is only 290-300 more kilos than a _BAC Mono_ ffs. Even the Senna GTR is 300 kilos heavier than the T50s. The Vulcan AMR Pro is 500 kilos heavier... It's an insane weight.

DM me @do2gg7

HAHAHAHAHA Cheers, mate! You made me laugh so hard!

Finally you would beat the germans after the fiasco with the UK car industry and the collapse of British Leyland xD

@@filipborin555 The UK has this and the Lotus Evija coming out. The Germans don't even have something to compete with either of those. Or the other Lotuses, or McLarens really. The British car industry is alive, you just need to be rich to buy something :P

You have no idea whether this car is great or not time will tell

@@allensaunders449 what makes a car great?

They're all special.

Me too.

How much do you think you need to win on Lotto to make this realistic I don't think 10m does it...😂

@@RichardEnglander 3.1 Million Pounds + Tax

@@RichardEnglander I'd need extra cash to buy a climate controlled secure garage for the car. In fact, I need a house, with this garage!

@@DW-dd4iw I figure that with a track car you have to be prepared to total it. Try not to like But you should not be too afraid of a scratch... I think I'll keep dreaming for a GT3 and enough cash to stack that 😂

Yeah ❕⛑️

I wish Harry would of asked some tough questions instead worshipping at the cars alter

It will never happen but boy wouldn't it just.

A few other manufacturers have committed

Not at all

I would describe Gordon as more of a younger contemporary to Colin as arguably, they did work in parallel for several years. However, I would certainly also include Adrian Newey as “another” individual that many quite innovative designs can be contributed to a single person, as opposed to modern design teams where their total of gross genius can be many times greater than that of one single genius..

I would not disagree with you, it seems all of these designers share a love for light weight vehicles which to my mind are always the most fun to drive.

Nothing in common with these two xD

i would love to see that. Maybe the boys from retro power cars can hook that up?

Ferrari's next hypercar is gonna have a v12 possibly without a hybrid system according to ferrari themselves/

@@raykreiger4123the damage has been done.

Thr future is coming nothing wrong with it. Can't live in the past. Mr. Murry is not heroic he is a car designer who wants to sell a very expensive car

@@allensaunders449 The future is what you make it.

Go listen to the F1 GTR footage from LeMans. The sound is (monu)mental. It will literally blow your mind.

I guess its true he said it. Porsche doesn't need mr. Murrys ok

Some of the LMH regs have changed though, as the road-based segment (which was going to be balanced with the 'open formula/prototype' cars was dropped, and (effectively) replaced with LMDh. Only Aston were committed to the road-based LMH 'hypercar' approach, and got the engine regs changed to suit them, then pulled out; so the whole thing was a mess and thus the ACO - with known support for LMDh from VAG, Acura and GM, went that way; otherwise they were looking at grids in LMH of Toyota vs Glickenhaus for 2 years...until Peugeot shows up.

@@NeoHCgbz Not true. People who bought racecars in the past were people who raced cars. You don't see people buying a $100K CNC machine as a collectable ... maybe this is coming soon.

Hi Ilya, it's just the times we live in. The Reset is not going to benefit the poor either.

APPERANTLY THIS PERSON DOESNT KNOW WHAT A LIVERY IS HAHA

No livery just paint . This is ok looking not beautiful. The road car is beautiful

@@allensaunders449 f1, not this. F1!!!

@@comeberza my bad the road car then was paint to. But i misunderstood i apologize

@@allensaunders449 its cool

@Valkyrie's 007 The weight, or the wait.

The difference with this is it will happen, it's purposeful and designed to a specific brief unlike the other track specials

@@alexgoss6366 The ones that dont happen... Tend to be american.

@@captain_context9991bugatti doesn't have to apologize for what they do to anyone. The cars are very special. The new one off track car track oriented car will be faster around any track then this i guess

@Valkyrie's 007 Can't do much to reduce that when your engine, gearbox, pumps and radiators weigh as much as this car!!! It will usually end up around 3-4x the weight of the powertrain.

If the original T-50 videos (posted in August) were part of a RU-vidr/motoring journalist "beauty contest" with part of Gordon Murray's prize being the award of the first/exclusive look at the T-50s - it was fully deserved. (Honourable mention for Chris Harris talks cars with Gordon Murray on Chris's Collecting Cars podcast)

Why not it was only complimentary no hard questions just accept everything i say. Mr murry likes that. You are surprised

@@allensaunders449 What "Hard" questions were you expecting Allen? Will the T-50s help solve 3rd world debt while you balance it on opposite lock through a corner??? What question could a motoring journalist or RU-vidr dream up that would be "Hard" for Gordon Murray to answer - given his achievements as an engineer and designer of road cars, racing cars and specialist vehicles over the last 50 years? He very possibly knows every single nut and bolt on his car, how much it weighs, and why that particular solution was chosen... Harry asked interesting questions (in this video, and previously in the T-50 video) based on his own extensive knowledge about high-performance sports cars to get more information out of Gordon Murray, than was previously available about the car. If you look at the 1st set of videos (for the T-50, last summer) even the excellent Henry Catchpole seemed to be slightly overawed by interviewing Gordon Murray. Harry wasn't - in either video. There was good, healthy and unforced banter between Harry and Gordon Murray. Yes, Harry appeared very complimentary towards Gordon and his amazing car (who wouldn't?) but there was clearly some appreciation from Gordon too, towards Harry, about how well Harry conducted the interview/video and his obvious detailed knowledge on the subject in hand...

RIP

Because he liked the F1 so much?

they's send hamster and he'd ......crash it :)

Keith Chegwin died on the 11th December 2017, that broke my heart.

What? The trio own DriveTribe. Who cares about TG or GT.

Yep and the cashier told me bit sir these are one bread and a bottle of milk

Yet when you have infinite opportunity, they become just cars.

...you mean the T.25? hahaha... ugh

@@blacktoothfox677 T.0025

They address that, with a "no."

I think the counter argument to that is that the T.50 is perfectly affordable, you simply don't make enough money.

Like the OX...? What about the Rocket? Gordon has been DOING 'affordable' for decades. Nobody either paid attention, or was interested.. Check out iStream design as well (another of his) - but nobody was very interested in the T.43
