FIRST DRIVE: GMA T.50 - McLaren F1 Successor’s 900-mile road trip

Get ready for a sensory bombardment as Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, embarks on a 900-mile adventure, from Barcelona to Bilbao, via the stunning mountain roads of the Spanish Pyrenees. Follow as he delves into the T.50's driving dynamics, from the exhilarating scream of that naturally aspirated V12 engine to the joyous shifts of the manual gearbox.
Designed to honour-but-improve on the iconic McLaren F1, the T.50 is a symphony of engineering purity, weight-saving purges and mechanical artistry. In Ollie's view, it is the best driver’s car in the world, and it might never be bettered...

To GM and the team. You guys have delivered beyond all we could hope and possibly imagine in a supercar/Hyper car. The attention to detail, the weight, the driver involvement, the quality, looks. Also I never thought a combustion engine would sound as good or in this case better than the LFA. I love what Rimac is doing with EV but I honestly believe even with out sitting or. driving you Hage created the greatest car in the world. Your dedication to perfection and driving is on another level. Please let Henry Catchpole, Chris Harris and Jay Leno do an indepth review. GM you achieved your dream of creating something that perfects the F1 in every way. I'll steal BMW saying ' This truly is the ultimate driving machine'

@@x265_hevc5 I don’t like to deify anyone, even Plato or Mozart or Shakespeare or Newton. And I don’t believe in semi-gods. What’s sure is that Cosworth democratized Formula 1: a lot of teams emerged in the 60’s and 70’s, since designing and building a car became much easier with an available and accessible V8 DFV, coupled with a Hewland gearbox. With the Valkyrie and the T.50, Cosworth proved to be the definitive internal combustion engine specialist, and deflated the V12s of Ferrari and Lamborghini to their exact importance - around 9000 rpm with a power ratio of 130 hp/l at best, which is way below 11000 or 12000 rpm that produce more than 160hp/l.

The way it revs up to 12,000 rpm is not just about the numbers; it's a testament to Gordon Murray's vision of what a hypercar should be - a blend of raw power, finesse, and that unmistakable sound that echoes the spirit of F1 racing. What really sets this apart is how it's built for the road, not just to turn heads, but to genuinely be driven. It's cars like these that keep the passion for automotive innovation alive.

Fantastic review from Ollie. I couldn't be more happy that he had this experience and man, what an intro as well. In contrast, I cant help but wish for the old days of Clarkson doing the first reviews on amazing new supercars. What I would give to see a Top Gear / Grand Tour style review from him on the T.50 or T.33, one can only imagine.

People here is saying its "ugly" "boring looking" "generic" makes it all the more appealing to me. Its functional, clean, made to be driven, not parked outside of an LV store in Beverly hills. If it revs to 12,000rpm i could give less of a shit how it looks.

I mean functionality doesn't have to necessarily rule out all design appeal...for me the front end is just too bland, could have been so much more, but that's personal taste at the end of the day. Incredible driver's car. It also forces you to drive it fast, or it will sound like a hair dryer...

As a long time owner of a 1st gen Toyota MR2, racked up almost 500,000 miles on 2 of them over 20 years, I LOVE small mid engine cars. The part he said about forward visibility is spot on. My MR2s were like that. You felt like you could almost reach out and touch the front bumper. It was so easy to drive the car in tight spaces or on winding roads. On this car, looks are subjective. Even IF you don't like how this car looks, I absolutely love it, this car is still perfect. The sream and ludicrous revs of this engine is incredible.

@iSOBigD 5 ай бұрын

Agreed that the looks are not amazing compared to many other supercars, but the middle seat, good visibility, light weight and super high revving, super Fast revving V12 immediately makes it amazing and rare. How quickly it gets to redline is just ridiculous, so it's hard to beat that sound.

The F1 is a better looking car. To me the front is too thin while the headlights are too big, whereas the F1 was just right with the proportions. The upcoming T.33 is also more aesthetically pleasing as well. It absolutely nails the modern but retro design spot on.

It's very rare for someone to match his greatest hit. To surpass it and create a new benchmark is the pinnacle of creativity, ingenuity and inventiveness. Simply put: the car translates what the road is saying through its wheels and mechanics, and most cars are speaking different language, except few and this is on top of all of them. Gordon is the king of road language.
