# T.50

Three seats, one fan

The T.50 puts a central three-seat layout, a naturally aspirated V12 and a manual gearbox into a 100-car road series. Two public sales now set the first benchmarks, but both involved delivery-mile cars and do not yet describe used examples.

2023 to 2025 · 100 built · Surrey

## The price and the proof

Indicative road-car band $5.6M–$8.1M · 4 documented road sales · 4 recorded sales on file. Modeled values are not observed sales. Nothing here is investment advice.

Confidence: medium. Two public auction sales document delivery-mile T.50s at $5.63 million and $8.035 million. The evidence is direct but too narrow to separate specification, mileage, jurisdiction and the California Mille sale's charitable component.

USD; published final sale figures. Both cars had delivery mileage.

The second public result was $2.405 million higher four months later; two cars do not establish a trend.

## A second three-seat road car

Gordon Murray announced the T.50 in 2019 and revealed it in August 2020. The package returned to a central driving position and three seats, but used a new carbon structure, a Cosworth V12 and active fan-assisted ground effect.

Customer production began in early 2023. Assembly moved from Dunsfold Park to GMA's Highams Park headquarters near Windlesham in 2024, and the 100-car road run concluded in 2025.

The 25 track-only T.50s Niki Lauda cars form a separate series. Their two-seat cabin, paddle-shift transmission and different engine specification keep them outside this dossier and its valuation ledger.

| Highlight | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| The driver sits on the centreline | The driver sits between two outboard passengers. All three carbon-fibre seats weigh 13 kg together, and the control layout is built around the central position. |
| The fan manages the floor | A 400 mm electric fan accelerates air under the car while active diffusers and twin rear spoilers alter the balance. Driver-selectable modes can add load or reduce drag without a fixed rear wing. |
| Six ratios, moved by hand | The 82 kg transverse gearbox uses a visible H-pattern linkage and a titanium lever. An optional overdrive sixth changes cruising behaviour without altering the first five ratios. |

| Label | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Road cars | 100 |
| Seating | 1 + 2 |
| Fan diameter | 400 mm |
| Engine weight | 178 kg |
| Launch price | £2.36M + tax |
