In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we delve into the world of automotive royalty with the Gordon Murray t50, hailed as the spiritual successor to the iconic F1. Represented by Dario, a four-time Indy driver, Gordon Murray's design philosophy shines through in the t50's lightweight construction and powerful 675 horsepower Cosworth V12 RS engine. This car isn't about sheer horsepower numbers; it's about the driving experience, with a focus on pure, unadulterated performance.
Gordon Murray's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the t50, from the downsized brakes to the gear-driven engine that revs up to an exhilarating 12,100 RPM. The innovative fan at the rear isn't about generating downforce but aids in ground effect, showcasing Murray's aversion to traditional wings for a clean, aerodynamic look. The car's low center of gravity, achieved through the engine's placement, enhances its handling and performance on the road.
The t50's gearbox features a touring sixth gear for comfortable long-distance cruising, a testament to Murray's practical approach to supercar design. With a design ethos focused on driving perfection and purity, the t50 stands out as a true masterpiece that embodies Gordon Murray's unparalleled expertise and passion for creating exceptional driving machines.
