Gordon Murray’s GMA Set to Launch T.33S Supercar with Revamped V12 Engine
Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA), the creators behind the celebrated T.50 and T.33 supercars, has an exciting announcement for car enthusiasts.
According to Autocar’s interview with the legendary designer Gordon Murray, a new, more intense variant called the T.33S is set to roll out next summer. This model promises to push the boundaries of performance even further.
The T.33S will retain the lightweight carbon-aluminum monocoque chassis found in the T.33, contributing to its minimal weight of 2,403 lbs.
However, the real thrill comes from its engine—a 4.0 L Cosworth GMA V12. While the standard T.33 boasts 607 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque, the T.33S will enhance this setup, promising an engine that can exceed an 11,100 rpm redline.
Despite its beefed-up specs, the T.33S isn’t just a track star. It’s designed for those who crave a track-like feel for regular road use as well.
Alongside the coupé and Spider variants of the T.33, this trio of models will spearhead the company’s lineup through 2028. After that, Murray plans a complete overhaul with a brand new car platform.
Murray shared his vision for future projects, stating, ‘After the final version of the T.33S, we’ll introduce a completely new motor car.’ He highlighted the company’s commitment to innovation and diversity in its offerings.
With only 100 units of the T.33 planned, each with a price tag of £1.37 million ($1.72 million), the T.33S is expected to be even more exclusive and pricey.
GMA prides itself on its independence, allowing it to stick with a V12 engine as larger automakers shift towards electrification.
Murray ensures that any hybrid technology used will minimally impact the pure driving experience.
GMA has a strategy set until 2038, underlining Gordon’s confidence in the brand’s enduring success.
Although the official release date for the T.33S hasn’t been announced, it wouldn’t be surprising if it follows in the footsteps of its predecessors by debuting at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
