The new Gordon Murray Automotive Le Mans GTR made its dynamic debut at Le Mans, and it probably looked even better than expected.
This V12 supercar, like all other GMA cars, is devoted to speed.
And more importantly it represents an analog take on speed.
The only minor issue is the incredible price tag.
The Le Mans GTR is a tribute to the way supercars used to be
Gordon Murray Automotive chose the perfect location to showcase the Le Mans GTR: Le Mans.
Where else?
The hypercar made its dynamic debut at the 2026 Le Mans Classic event, where it raced around the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe.
Finished in British racing green, the hypercar proved its point by screaming all the way to 12,100 rpm around the track.
Like all GMA cars, it is mostly analog.
It is powered by a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 – no superchargers or turbochargers – sending 654 to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
We should also point out that it weighs less than 1,000 kg, which means the power-to-weight ratio is also an indirect homage to the olden days.
The base price for the 24 planned Le Mans GTR supercars is around $5 million, but all 24 units are already spoken for.
All automakers use the same strategy
With exceptions, supercar makers always follow the same strategy.
They first unveil the car with static images, and then showcase it in motion in what they call a ‘dynamic’ debut.
Another thing worth pointing out is that these cars are almost always already sold out ahead of the launch.
By the time you and I hear about the latest limited-edition Ferrari or Lamborghini, prospective buyers have usually seen it or at least learned about it months or even years prior.
In fact, the allocation process usually works in reverse.
Automakers proactively contact collectors to offer them a build slot.
The remarkable part is that these collectors often drop enormous sums of money on a deposit for a car they haven’t even seen yet.
