Gordon Murray's next supercar is already generating excitement, and the first teaser image from Gordon Murray Special Vehicles shows a low, wide coupe with a long tail and roof scoop that immediately recalls the McLaren F1 GTR era Murray helped define in the 1990s. This car is the latest limited-run model from Gordon Murray Automotive, and it will be unveiled on Friday at The Quail during Monterey Car Week in the United States.
The teaser has triggered plenty of speculation, but only a few details are actually visible or confirmed. Officially, the company is calling this newest model “something very special,” and it will be displayed alongside the Le Mans GTR and several examples of the T50. That matters because the T50’s 664-horsepower V12 already sets a high bar for any new halo product GMA wants to park next to it.
View Price on AmazonRecent auction results show just how hot this lineage has become. One of the five S1 LMs due to be built recently sold for $20,600,000, setting what’s been reported as a record price for a new car at auction and signaling strong demand for Gordon Murray’s most extreme limited-series specials. The car's connection to the S1 LM, and by extension the McLaren F1 GTR, is clear, with pronounced rear haunches, a flat rear deck, and a roof-mounted intake that all echo the old F1 GTR packaging where clean airflow mattered as much as outright downforce.
The teaser also hints at door-mounted air ducts that resemble the S1 LM’s NACA-style inlets, again echoing the old F1 GTR packaging. What you do not see is just as telling: the huge rear wing and aggressive splitters of the S1 LM appear to be gone, pointing to a more road-focused interpretation of the same basic shape. This car looks like a smoother, less track-specific evolution of the Gordon Murray Automotive S1 LM, still steeped in McLaren F1 design language but tuned for road use rather than outright lap times.
