    I made some screen on the TopGear video.

    Yes I am also in love with the T.50 and the sound of the XP5 at the end of the video sounds like music to my ears.

    Ohh... thanks. I agree on the T.50 sound; sound like an Formula 1 in the 90's.
    I wish the inspiration book shown in the video will be available in PDF at the GMA website or somewhere :)

    I just returned form the 79th Goodwood Members meeting and here are some thoughts on GMA's cars...

    GMA had 2 T50's there, with one serving as the pace car for the V10 F1 cars. The only T33 there was a static display model.

    The T50 is tiny!
    Almost always when I look at a modern car, I am surprised and disappointed at how large they have gotten (e.g., current 911 vs 1980s 911, current F8 versus 308, and so on) and how heavy they have gotten (1400-1650kg for 911s, 1640kg for F8). The T50 is surprising in how tiny it looks and how incredibly light it is (<1000kg). I can't think of another modern car that is 158kg/350lbs lighter its already light predecessor (the McLaren F1).

    Cabin
    The 3 seat layout is very cool. The glass roof is a must as the cabin feels tight with 3 people in it. The drivers seat is so far forward and visibility is so good that the driver feels like he is in a formula car or maybe a V12 powered Porsche 956. :)

    Noise
    The T50 held its own on sound when running with the V10 F1 cars. I could not decide which sounded better. Absolutely incredible for a road car!

    T33
    The T33 was gorgeous, and it looks 3/4 scale compared to modern sports cars. And it will likely sound just as good as the T50.

    Awww.... I envy you for actually seeing both the T.50 and T.33 and made detail analysis.
    Thank you so much for your detailed observation :)
