Tribute to a racing legend
Named after legendary three-time Formula One World Champion, Niki Lauda, the T.50s Niki Lauda is Gordon Murray Automotive’s new track-focused supercar. Developed in parallel with the T.50, the T.50s Niki Lauda has been conceived, designed and engineered to offer the ultimate on-track driving experience.
“The T.50s is named in honour of Niki to commemorate his famous win with the Brabham BT46B fan car in the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix. Niki was a great racing driver and he was also a good friend and it is absolutely fitting that we are launching the T.50s Niki Lauda on his birthday. Niki would have appreciated the innovation and engineering detail in our car.” said Professor Gordon Murray CBE.
Like the T.50, the T.50s Niki Lauda has been designed and engineered without compromise, but with an even more extreme specification. It weighs just 852kg and will be powered by a substantially redesigned version of the T.50’s Cosworth-engineered 3.9-litre V12, producing 725bhp and going through a newly-designed six-speed paddle-shift gearbox. Advanced aerodynamics, aided by a 400mm rear-mounted fan, will produce up to 1500kg of downforce for optimum track performance.
Just 25 T.50s Niki Laudas will be made. Production will start in January 2023 after the run of 100 T.50 supercars is completed.
