Kinda surprised the T.50 isn't getting more love here, it's a super light, well thought out supercar with an NA V12 revving to 12k. What's not to like? I don't typically like supercars, but I'm impressed by that one. There isn't another one like it.

I've been following their progress since like a year ago.

While I am not really a fan (get it) of the looks, I do love the technical stuff.
The weight, the attention to detail, the revs, the craftsmanship, I love it.

But then again, I'm not in the target demographic, I can barely afford to keep my E30 in good shape.
So, yay.

the old Mclaren F1 looks and sounds better than the T50

I enjoy it. It does so much, but its so simple. Way against the grain, but I hate most new cars. Slam dunk.

Nah, huge headlights, weird rear end, disproportionate greenhouse, etc. It's not necessarily ugly, just boring and a bit weird.

Dude was going on and on in one of the videos talking about saving ounces in the pedals compared to the F1, but then he goes and makes headlights that take up 50% of the front end.

E30SPDFRK That Rocket thing was closer to a Lotus 7 / Caterham than the Elan

The T50 isn't great looking? I think it looks pretty good, certainly better than a lot of the stuff coming out these days.

[E30SPDFRK]

Going off your 2/3 idea, this one will only be $2,000,000?

He made the rocket years ago that was kind of Elan ideas, but it was ugly and weird so no one bought it. He needs to get a designer for the bodywork so he can stick to doing mechanicals well, because the T50 isn't great looking either...

I honestly stopped caring about Revs after my S54 swap.

I'd rather see good numbers. Heck, I would be seriously stoked with something more akin to Audi's R10 TDI, 3k-5k rpm range....

Are any of you paying attention to what Mr Murray has been up to? The T50 is obviously something fantastic, but he has a new T33 thats being introduced in a few days. They are calling it a supercar so I was expecing a V8 as 33 is 2/3 of 50 and a V8 is 2/3 of a V12... but I saw a snippet that it will also be a V12, but ONLY revving to 11,000rpms not 12000 haha

I really hope he makes a successor the Elan that he loves so much...
