Gordon Murray's astonishing £2.8m T.50 is a 963kg, 654bhp three-seater that aims to right the wrongs of the McLaren F1. Not that it was famed for many. But 969 days after we got our first proper look at it, Gordon has given the car his official stamp of approval to bring development to a close, meaning we could finally have a go in it.
Now, we don’t normally do passenger rides at Top Gear, but when three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti gives you a ring to ask if you want a lift, you don’t say no. Especially when it involves some flat-out runs so we can hear that naturally aspirated V12 scream as he works the six-speed manual gearbox. And - best of all - as it's a three-seater, it meant both Top Gear Magazine’s Jack Rix and Ollie Marriage could both have a go. And then pincer Dario with questions at 180mph.

Valkyrie sounded more aggressive and intense from the outside, but considering Top Gear’s sound engineering track record, maybe I’m not picking up more details. Definitely the nicer car to be in, since the engine isn’t bonded with the chassi and you don’t need a sound-proofing helmet.

Hell, if you want straight line speed, you can buy a mass-produced four-door family EV that will out-accelerate any road car with an engine. But the T.50 is the pinnacle for those of us who care more about having a daily-driveable car that puts a massive grin on their face. It's not about performance, it's about driver enjoyment. It's not for everyone. For me? There are few combustion-engined cars that excite me at this point. Money no object, the T.50 is the one I'd have in my garage, alongside something more boring for the more tedious day-to-day.

@@davidblake1663 Mr Blake.I get it this car is overpriced. At the price point of $3 million this is no longer a supercar its a hypercar and it is not the"peak combustion performance car"Hypercars such as Pagani,Hennessey,Koenigsegg offer that hypercar thrill this doesn't.They actually push boundaries and are capable track cars not only straight line speed. If your argument is that it does it all I would argue there are Porsches on sale today that do the whole performance,driver engagement and daily driver thing extremely well at a lower price point Value for money this car isn't it.I can name Lamborghinis,Ferraris and Porsches that offer more performance for less money.They probably don't offer driver enjoyment being that they DCTs but you do find manual Porsches which can offer that enjoyment this car is overpriced and overhyped.

The car was crazy quick. When Dario hit 11500 in 5th he was already going 285 kmph and the redline is at 300 kmph. This is in around 17 sec with no launch, manual shifts and the weight of 2 extra passengers.

LFA because of its sound, this because of its sound and the sheer bravery of Gordon to give every petrolhead everything they may have wanted. My favorite car is the McLaren F1 and it may never change. I think GMA will give us many more surprises for years to come.

It’s something that no EV super car can ever replicate. Car heaven - mid engine NASP manual - just a drop top is missing for me for perfection. What a sound and what a thrill to go to 12000 rpm. I thought my Ferrari manual almost to 9000 redline was incredible- can’t imagine 12000. But this video allows us to live vicariously through Dario. Tip of the hat to Gordon Murray. Amazing.

Looks are always subjective but I agree with you. Like the F1, it's a functional car, not a beautiful one. That fits with GM's philosophy so it's fine. But in my opinion, they've sacrificed the proportions to create decent-sized luggage pods. To my eyes, the back wheels look too far back. The car looks chubby, not taut, around the haunches.
