While the entire automotive industry rushes towards electrification, one man refuses to abandon the sound of a naturally aspirated V12 engine. Gordon Murray, the same genius behind the legendary McLaren F1, is back with a creation that defies all modern conventions.
The Last Naturally Aspirated V12 in the World
The GMA T.33 is powered by a 3.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine developed in-house by Gordon Murray Automotive. The numbers impress and justify the wait of enthusiasts:
- Power: 606 HP at 10,500 rpm
- Torque: 451 Nm at 9,000 rpm
- Weight: 1,100 kg
- Power-to-weight ratio: 550 HP per ton
6-Speed Manual Transmission
Unlike most modern supercars that adopt automated gearboxes, the T.33 offers a 6-speed manual transmission as an option, appealing to purists seeking full driving engagement. For more details about this choice, check out our article on manual transmissions in supercars.
Arctic Testing Reveals Wild Personality
Recent images show the T.33 undergoing rigorous testing in arctic conditions, with partial camouflage revealing aggressive lines and optimized air intakes. The cooling system is being calibrated to operate in extreme temperatures, ensuring reliability in any climate.
Active aerodynamics automatically adjust downforce according to speed and driving conditions, a technology inherited directly from Murray’s Formula 1 cars. This is essential for modern supercar aerodynamics.
Homologation for the USA
Unlike the T.50, which had limited production and was not homologated for American streets, the T.33 is already fully homologated for the United States. This opens a crucial market for GMA and allows more enthusiasts to experience this engineering masterpiece. If you like exclusive supercars, this is definitely one of the most anticipated of the decade.
