In the featured video, unfortunately, the voices of the narrators overlapped too much with the piercing voice of the atmospheric V12 by Cosworth from GMA T.50 , which undoubtedly remains one of the main points of interest in Gordon Murray's new creation.
Dario Franchitti, who has been one of the key players in the development of the new British supercar, was the pilot on duty at this first public demonstration on the Goodwood Motor Circuit.
Despite the unfavorable conditions and being “locked” by two McLaren 720S that served as safety cars, we could see and hear the T.50 in full, with the “screams” emitted by the V12 reminding Formula 1 single-seaters of yesteryear .
We also realized how compact the T.50 is. Not only does Franchitti look like a giant inside, the T.50 is clearly smaller than the accompanying 720S, although McLaren's supercar isn't the biggest supercar at all.
The T.50 doesn't bet on increasingly scandalous power numbers to mark a position. It focuses on lightness (only 986 kg) and interaction and driving experience: atmospheric V12, manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive and central driving position. And we want to see the rear fan work.
