    Cosworth-Designed V12 For Gordon Murray T.50 Hypercar Fired Up

    South African born Gordon Murray is hard at work on a new car called the T.50 which is due in 2022 from the self-titled brand Gordon Murray Automotive.

    Huge strides are being made especially with the Cosworth-designed V12 engine which has been fired up for the very first time.

    The engine, billed by its creators as “the greatest road car V12 ever made”, is claimed to be the lightest-ever V12 (180 kg), with both the highest rev limit (12,100 rpm) and the highest power density with 166 hp (124 kW) per litre.

    GMA has already tested the engine which not only meets the emissions targets but also exceeds its estimated power and torque outputs. This has led Murray to lift the official peak power output from the originally quoted 641 hp (478 kW) at 11,500 rpm to 663 hp (494 kW).

    Remember this is a naturally aspirated V12 revving to 12,100 rpm which will be the highest of any road car. Murray said that at high revs, “the V12 will sing like nothing else on the road”. Just for interest’s sake, it is around 1,000 rpm higher than that Aston and Mercedes-AMG are promising for the Valkyrie and One respectively.

    The 3.9-litre V12, will send its grunt to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission developed by Xtrac.

    Just 100 T.50’ss will be built for road use (25 track versions are still a possibility), each of them with a price tag of $2.5 million. The good news is that the T.50 is just the first of a series of performance-oriented cars planned by Gordon Murray Automotive.

    The full reveal will reportedly take place on the 4th August.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
