The T.50 is a modern take on the spellbinding formula set out by the McLaren F1, with the same Gordon Murray genius behind it

Built with cutting-edge materials, manufacturing techniques and technology, the T.50 is designed to be the ultimate analogue hypercar, one that (literally and figuratively) puts the driver at the centre of the experience.

At its core is a bespoke, Cosworth-developed 4-litre naturally aspirated V12. With peak power of 641bhp coming at a mind-boggling 11,500rpm, and the red line not until 12,100rpm, this is no ordinary hypercar. Just as impressive is the kerb weight: 986kg with fluid included. Did we mention it has a manual gearbox?
The result is just about the most visceral, multi-layered and absorbing driving experience you can imagine. ‘I’ve never known acceleration so addictive’, said our man Henry Catchpole. ‘It doesn’t have the beautiful, rich induction sound of a McLaren F1 but its frenzied fierceness, like VTEC on fast forward, makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck every time you crack the throttle. But the rest of the car isn’t just a vessel for the V12, the chassis is fun and lets you feel like you can truly use the engine rather than just experience it.’
