The utterly incredible Gordon Murray T.33 (GMA T.33), which costs $1.8 million, is finally going into production, and it is set to be a real purist’s supercar.

Announced as the little sister to the Gordon Murray T.50, the T.33 is designed by the man whose name it bears, and Murray was, of course, the designer of the legendary McLaren F1.

The T.33 debuted four years ago, and while test versions have been out and about, we’ve all been eagerly awaiting production to commence.

Now it looks like it is imminent, with more testing taking place, and investment coming in to accelerate deliveries.

The Gordon Murray T.33 is later than it should be

Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) revealed the T33 in 2022.

Offered as a more practical sibling to the wild T.50, the GMA T.33 still boasts some brilliant performance figures.

Cosworth, as with the T.50, has designed the supercar’s engine.

It has a 3.9-liter naturally aspirated V12, producing an amazing screaming soundtrack.

Power is rated at 607hp and 333lb-ft of torque.

GMC priced the car at £1.37 million, roughly $1.8 million, and all 100 sold out within a week of its unveiling.

It is slightly heavier than its big cousin, but still incredibly light at just 2,403lbs.

The new supercar also has incredible aerodynamic performance, thanks to an aggressive diffuser.

Clever ducting also aids in its superb aerodynamics.

The real reason that production has taken so long

As to why it’s taken so long to enter production, there are several factors at play.

With financial pressures due to high development costs, the company needed to be clever.

It prioritized its Le Mans GTR and S1 LM, the high-cost ultra-low volume models.

These launched the bespoke Special Vehicle division for the company.

But the man who bought the first T.50, Tarik Ouass, then set up a firm to contribute £90 million ($121 million) to GMA. With the fresh investment, production of the Gordon Murray T.33 will commence later in 2026.

British publication Autocar has spotted the T.33 undergoing testing.

But perhaps we shouldn’t be too surprised by the wait – production of the T.50 also suffered from delays.

The last came off the production line in July 2025, five years after its debut.

In addition, the marque will also be producing a convertible GMA T.33 and a track-focused hardcore version.

This will be named after F1 world champion Niki Lauda, and follows the T.50S Niki Lauda.
