The Gordon Murray cars are engineering works of art. For most we might one day be able to afford a photo of one. No idea where he gets his cash but all the power to him to be able to build these "one man's vision" cars. as opposed to design by accountants. The cars are absolutely amazing. And the more i read about the Mclaren F1 the more details come out too.
I had the F40 and the Mclaren F1 on a poster as a kid (and still do), do kids even have car posters anymore? is the T50 going to be on some kids wall? I'm not convinced. Those days might be over. So what is it then? Just an extremely expensive exclusive thing that only a few rich old people in the world can afford, and even fewer actually get one. I very much appreciate the engineering side of it sure, v12 manual - epic. But even if you wanted one you cant have as I'm sure they are already sold out anyway. And I assume very few are going to people who will use them all the time, most going to collectors who will store away and sell at a profit in 2yrs time. More comparable to faberge' egg than a car really.
In saying that though. I have just checked my youtube subscriptions and it seems everyone got to have an interview with Gordon about this new one and i will be watching all of them. Because its a v12 manual! with a fan! (there's that kid in me coming out)
