GMA is a place where cutting-edge engineering meets high standards of craftsmanship. The highly anticipated all-new T.33 was revealed by Gordon Murray Automotive, and it is the company's second model, following the T.50 and T.50s Niki Lauda. The T.33 will be propelled by a particularly reworked version of the 3.9-liter V12 found in the T.50, which was developed in collaboration with Cosworth. This twelve-cylinder engine is thought to be the best of all time for road cars.
At GMA, lightweight design is treated as a design priority. This strategy results in supercars with levels of economy and vehicle dynamics that are unrivaled in the industry. The stunning T.33 is based on a revolutionary carbon and aluminum chassis, and GMA invested all of its effort and money in creating a design that was precisely harmonized and proportioned.
Every GMA model, including the brand-new T.33, is built on the principle that the elegance of the uncomplicated design is the most effective. To match the body's level of precision, every small component is made to the same high standards. Let's explore the T.33's unique attributes in more detail.
Gordon Murray T.33 Is Propelled By A Modified Version Of The World-Class Cosworth GMA V12 Engine
The GMA.2 V12 engine, which powers the T.33, is based on the components of the finest road-going V12 ever built. The T.50's 3.9-liter V12 engine has undergone substantial re-engineering to produce even more intense performance. It was developed with the help of Cosworth as a joint venture. Based on the Cosworth GMA V12 made entirely of aluminum, the engine was identified by custom T.33 yellow cam covers.
The T.33 was created with an obsession for detail. Every aspect of the engine has been reevaluated, and many parts have been completely rebuilt. Although the V12 cylinder heads were kept, brand-new camshafts, variable valve timing, and motor mapping were added to assure flawless responsiveness and system efficiency. As an outcome, the engine produces 615 horsepower at 10,500 rpm and 332.64 lb-ft of torque at 9,500 rpm.
A new exhaust system has also been installed, which produces the exhilarating GMA characteristic sound, together with a new ram induction intake system. Particularly designed for the new motor are also the engine mountings, water cooling, and oil cooling systems.
GMA T.33 comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, while a paddle shifter is available as an add-on. The world's quickest gear change for supercars is provided by the paddle shift gearbox, which offers a smooth shift without torque interruption. It is also the world's lightest supercar paddle shift gearbox, at only 172 lbs. Clients have the option of selecting a vehicle with either a right-hand or left-hand drive configuration, as well as a manual or IGS paddle shift gearbox.
The T.33 Is Designed To Be The World's Greatest Supercar
Gordon's obsession with beautifully proportioned and pristinely styled 1960s sports cars had a significant impact on the design of the T.33, giving it a timeless and distinctive appearance. As we already mentioned, the T.33's structure is exceptionally light, which guarantees remarkable maneuverability. The great safety it provides is a direct result of its strength and rigidity.
The safety of the occupants is even further enhanced with a safety cell inspired by Formula One. The 19-inch front and 20-inch rear forged aluminum alloy wheels of the T.33 are unique and incredibly light. The wheels are shod with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires measuring 235/35 R19 in front and 295/30 R20 in the rear. The Michelin 4 S tires deliver outstanding all-weather traction and durability.
The inside of the T.33 is wonderfully and elegantly structured. If there was any risk that a feature might impede the driver's experience, it was simply omitted from the design process. All controls have been expertly crafted from the finest aluminum alloy. In the same way, the pedals are made out of an aluminum alloy, which has the advantages of both strength and lightness, allowing the driver to have an exceptionally high level of control and perception over the vehicle. The T.33's distinctive carbon steering wheel and flexible carbon seats provide more proof that the T.33 is solely focused on the user.
Only 100 units will be made, and Gordon Murray Automotive will hand-build each one at its headquarters in Windlesham, Surrey. The majority of the car's parts are made to order, and the inside of each vehicle can be tailored to the individual driver's preferences.
GMA's design staff may further work with the customer to design their custom ergonomic specifications, as well as their vehicle's color. Options such as an SVS sports pack further increase the customization choices. And then there's the shocker. According to Gordon Murray Automotive, all of its T.33 supercars, which each cost around $1.85 million, have been sold.
