Love this pod but as a car fan I really struggle to comprehend Tony’s stance that he has 0 interest in what he can’t afford. I can’t afford a GT3 as much as he can’t afford a t50, but that doesn’t stop me watching all the reviews or turning my head as one goes by - that’s the magic. The poster on my bedroom wall wasn’t representative of my pocket money when I was a boy, but it was that awe, amazement and hope that one day I may just experience it that made me love it.
@mjrowden 7 ай бұрын
I get the impression that Tony comes out with that guff and likes to piss on things that are out of his reach. It’s his default position on so many things until he experiences them and then has to admit they’re decent. I just find it hard to listen him as a car enthusiast when his breadth of interest seems to be so narrow.

I don’t understand how a fellow car enthusiast can dislike a car so much when it’s made purely for driving joy. So many car enthusiasts have been dreaming of an incredible sounding, lightweight, small supercar, in a world where everything else is going going electric, bigger, heavier and ridiculous with power figures. Gordon Murray has made what most of us have been wanting. How can you hate on it for existing? It’s incredible.

The problem with you point on the T50 is that Gordon Murray isn’t just anyone. And he documented every major step of the process, including the factory and track it’ll be tested on. If Newey said/did the same thing, would you react the same way? As RB detractor, I’d be extremely excited.

It's always difficult to watch someone try to justify their opinion on something when it's clear they know they're probably wrong. I don't get why you're trying so hard to find problems with the T.50. A big key, not great for passengers and maybe too many downshifts to rev it properly and then going too fast? Come on, it's a supercar! You know better. Sam does anyway. Someone please tell Tony it's okay to be wrong! Definition of close-minded.

I was lucky enough to work with lots of cars, the T.50 being one of them and the sound can’t be comprehended unless heard in person outside of the vehicle. The vehicle itself feels special, modern and timeless in my opinion because it appears relatively simple from a design pov. The outer aesthetics aren’t really for me, I think the T.33 is prettier however I do feel the design will come into its own in the future as I think it could be a timeless design. I strongly believe you would both change your opinions if you were to spend some time with the vehicle. I think the largest issue is the brand itself. An iconic brand nonetheless however for some there perhaps isn’t enough on their resume to warrant the hype around this special product. Maybe I’m wrong.

Can’t help but feel that the negativity towards the T50 is purely down to your collective lack of willingness to say you got it wrong. The reasons to support your position are either a stretch or irrelevant. Nobody that can afford a T50 is buying it to enjoy it at 30mph, cares about compromising on who has to get in first, or uses it as their only vehicle. Clutching at straws here lads. It’s an epic machine and the engineers at Cosworth along with Gordon Murray’s design and vision have delivered something very very special. I hope you get to drive it and have the humility to accept you got it wrong.

The t.50 doesn't need an advanced special stying design.. It's meant to be simplistic-looking , while having advanced & modern technology and aero. It's small , just like the f1, has the same simple bodylines, weighs under a tonne, has a n/a,12k revving N/A V12 with 650 hp, and sounds like a 1l superbike! Plus it could be daily driven , with 3 seats and lots of luggage space for such a small package. I admit when it launched , i found the design so bland and weird, but now understanding it's ethos and after seeing one in real life, it really looks like a modern interpretation of a mclaren f1 ... I truly love it now !

The idea for next week is fantastic! I've started a new job which means I will be doing around the average miles (10-12k per year). Previously had an M140 and GR Yaris however currently don't have a car. The variety out there is insane and I can't narrow down what to get as I've never needed a commuting type car before. I've looked at Fiestas (normal and ST) or a Focus but feel like I might be better with an auto? Then looked at the new M135i but feel a 320i is probably a better bet. The curve ball is Mazda's, namely the 3 and CX30 but they don't have anything spicy (but maybe that is ok) Budget is somewhere between £15-30k and I want it to feel new so not a Golf R 7.5 as the interior looks horrendous now. It would be interesting to see if Tony thinks that the prices will continue to drop into 2024 or if this is just a standard winter drop? Hopefully the discussion next week will help answer some of the questions and I've already looked at the stock Tony has in atm.

I don't understand the negativity towards the T50 cos I truly do feel that this is an amazing product in terms of it being one of last true hurrahs for the NA non-hybrid ICEs n for manual transmissions. Keep in mind that the other manual high performance cars are the Koenigsegg CC850 n those before special options are well in excess of 5 million USD. Not a _fan_ of the look of the fan (😉) but it isn't as pronounced if it's specced in black or dark shades. There's a few clips of a black car where you don't notice it really unless you're specifically lookin for it. If you're lookin at a manual transmission NA V12 in particular then an option is buyin a Zonda n sendin it back to the factory to be manually converted n upgraded to a 760 spec but that again is gonna be upwards of 7-8 million USD at the least.

I can totally relate to the buying experience you described. I know it's on another level but, I've been searching for a manual M2/M3 to test drive for months now. Eight official dealerships and one BMW group-owned dealership in my area don't have own cars or pool cars with a manual gearbox (no M2, no M3). Even after sending three emails to BMW, I haven't had any success. The experience here is even worse, with auto-generated replies that tell me I should go to a local dealership and that they do not print any info material anymore (which i haven’t even asked for). Currently, the car buying experience in Germany is not something I can recommend to someone else. At the moment, I have the impression that BMW doesn't want to sell cars with a manual gearbox (despite promoting it on KZfaq and even through their engineers). Maybe I'm just not the right type of customer, and BMW expects customers to spend 80,000€ or more without being able to test that type of gearbox. I don't know, but right now, I'm more than disappointed.

If you are buying a T50, you probably already own a F40, Porsche Carrera GT etc etc

I think the T50 is not a beautiful car - but that engine is going to be viewed, in hindsight, as the crescendo of the internal combustion engine, I’m positive of it.

Never heard anyone talk about the ‘ Fan ‘ on the T.50 does it even work?
@rahulsudhir666 7 ай бұрын
It's too early for that I guess. It needs to be properly ripped around a track for it to be validated. I'm waiting for Chris Harris or Sport Auto to do a track review. From my understanding, the fan works kinda similar to the McMurtry Spéirling where it causes a suction effect. Also, for that to work as intended, it needs to be on a smooth n even track because slightly deep undulations, especially in a corner, will cause a loss in the suction effect n as a result send you fishtailin, possibly violently, because you'll be carryin a lot of speed goin into the corner. I can't recall whose video it was but durin a brief talk with one of the McMurtry engineers, it was said that even hitting the curb n the sudden change in the gap between the road n the underbody can cause unintended results. That being said, I truly do feel that this is an amazing product in terms of it being one of last true hurrahs for the NA non-hybrid ICEs. Not a _fan_ of the look of the fan (😉) but it isn't as pronounced if it's specced in black or dark shades. There's a few clips of a black car where you don't notice it really unless you're specifically lookin for it.

Toni would probably prefer the t33 as it's more conventional with normal seat position and it's a spider😮

Anyone who buys a T50 is not saying “Which hypercar can I get for £2.5 million. They will be adding it to a collection so that way of looking at it is pointless.

Interesting marketing fact - Car keys are deliberately heavy to give a feeling of quality, and make it an effort and event to use it. Nowadays a car key is just a tiny board and a chip, it could weigh almost nothing... yet every car key you've ever picked up is heavy. So what they've done with that T.50 key makes perfect engineering sense but it'll feel like a toy.

Starting to lose me. Im afraid T50 discussion confirms you both as armchair enthusiasts no Engineering understanding whatsoever so its best to stop digging. I dont like the looks much either however the car is a towering achievement but then Im an Engineer. Harris and the like understand this stuff and thats the difference.

You two need to pass your motorcycle tests and start riding sports bikes that have 12,13,14k rev limits and then you might , yes might have an understanding of where the T50 engine is coming from. Until then you might as well comment on the understeer of an atomic submarine.😅

That Sam still is trying to be negative about the t50 is very surprising. It should be a car that appeals to him more than any other new ”hyper car” with its light no nonsense approach and manual V12.. Talking about money and value regarding these cars is not very Interesting. The people buying these probably have cgt, F40 or whatever other car they want..😄
