The wildest retro sports car rolls through southern Europe, the Gordon Murray T33 you won't be able to buy
Gordon Murray is behind this prototype that has been spotted in spy photos. The exclusive British brand has not hidden this special specimen of the T33, a supercar with a Cosworth engine that aims to be a true reference in its category.
Southern Europe is one of the cradles of the automotive industry and, like Nürburgring, it always hides some surprises. Like this prototype of the new sports car from Gordon Murray that has been caught testing, without any camouflage.
What you are seeing is a prototype of the very special T33, a two-seater sports car with a striking retro style, which was announced more than four years ago and whose production has been completely sold out for three years. The indication of "AP4" in the upper right corner of the windshield indicates that it is "an early pre-production version".
Spy photos Gordon Murray T33
This sports car, with a design inspired by the 60s, was one of the stars at the last edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. However, the technicians from this exclusive British brand have been spotted, comfortably seated in the pair of Recaro seats, analyzing the performance of the carbon fiber chassis of the T33.
It's not the only thing undergoing significant testing; the powerful 3.9-liter V12 gasoline engine developed by other Brits is also being tested. The folks at Cosworth are responsible for this brilliant engine with 617 hp capable of revving up to 11,000 rpm.
The technical brutality of the Gordon Murray T33
A work of art in engine engineering, which has a twist in this Gordon Murray T33. Not only does it lack turbos to achieve such performance figures, but it is also paired with a transmission that is clearly in decline, a six-speed manual transmission.
The fact that a pre-production prototype of this sold-out Gordon Murray sports car is being seen is not a coincidence either. The British brand has expanded its services and has a division specialized in unique creations, the first of which is expected to be presented this year, based on the same platform as the T33, so it looks like this AP4 is a testbed.
