    Gordon Murray T.33 Spider Revealed Packing 607 HP (453 kW) V12 and Manual Box

    Gordon Murray is back at it but this time it is the removable roof variant of the T.33, known as the T.33 Spider.

    The T.33 Spider was designed around many of the same principles as Murray’s prior T.50 and McLaren F1, but with a different emphasis: Lightness. That’s why it’s built using Murray’s iStream production process, combining an aluminium tube chassis with carbon fibre reinforcement and bodywork with cutting-edge aero. It has an active rear wing, and in lieu of the T.50’s fan, a highly efficient diffuser that claims up to 30%greater efficiency than conventional ground-effect underbodies.

    The roof is made up of two removable carbon fibre roof panels for ultimate open-air motoring and comes in a variety of colours. They can be stored in the front luggage compartment when not in use.

    The engine fitted is a lighter variant of the 3.9-litre, naturally aspirated Cosworth V12 used in the T.50 but in this format, it generates 609 horsepower (453 kW) and 451 Nm (333 lb-ft) of torque, and revs as high as 11,100 rpm.

    That power goes rearward through an Xtrac six-speed H-pattern manual transmission, which combined with the engine weighs just 260 kg (573 lbs). Altogether, the T.33 is meant to have a dry weight of 1,108 kg (2,443 lbs); just 18 kg (40 lbs) more than the coupe.

    Jump inside and you will find a large tachometer at the centre of the driver’s display. There are also two secondary screens that flank the tach for climate controls and infotainment stuff, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

    Going away for a weekend should not be too much of a problem since the car has up to 295 litres (10.42 cubic feet) of storage space, including the two 90-litre (3.19 cu ft) compartments on either side of the engine.

    This two-seater 100-car production run isn’t yet sold out like Murray’s prior supercars, meaning you can secure one for yourself if you have the money. Pricing has not been confirmed but it will be a tad more than the T.33 coupe which started at £1.37m when it was revealed.

    • 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.
