    magnificent engineering and design but unfortunately, the styling is still japan circa 2000 imo. also dont understand business plan of 1 sports car at just over 2m and other at just under 2m. why would anyone buy the 'lesser' model? regardless, im sure driving experience is ultimate.

    watching videos now i amend my styling analysis from 2000 japan to c5 corvette if it was mid engine. i would never guess this car is from 2022.

    1) people that got shut out on T50 have now decided that GMA is for real and his v12 will be the cats meow. :D
    2) A large percentage of T33 buyers will be T50 owners. T50 with manual and T33 with paddles (better daily) maybe. (People with more money than they can spend)
    3) T33 is conventional 2 seater (better daily) vs T50 tre-posti
    4) T33 has broader/lower torque curve (better daily)
    5) wouldn't be surprised if out-the-door prices are $300-$500k apart

    for paddle shift decide only three people from over 50 who already ordered T.33 so more than 90% of customers want manual gearbox

    yeah, but I'd go with T50 w/manual for weekend blasts and T33 w/paddles for daily. :D
    Funny how Ferrari dropped manuals because there was no interest, and now ...... :rolleyes:

    If I remember correctly most of Porsche GT3 buyers in USA order manual gearbox, Gordon Murray say that their next car will be hybrid, I wonder it's possible to put there manual gearbox...

    Closer to £1m apart judging by the starting price of each car.
    T.50 base price is £2.4m
    T.33 is at £1.3m

    That T.33 seems is drop dead gorgeous, almost a bargain compared to the T.50, and such a bowl of fresh air compared to the latest hypercar nonsense we've been seeing from manufacturer in the last decade.

    IMO very classy design would love to own a used one one day (that's due to budget constraints)

    Try to get it registered.

    "What make is it?"

    "Gordon Murray"

    "No I asked what make it is, not your name"

    "Gordon Murray"

    With a DMV person this could go on for hours.

    I think with such low volume numbers and great NA engine plus manual gearbox this car will keep value excellent

    I don’t think either car is that good looking. But very light weight and decent horsepower so they will be fast and handle great.

    Completely disagree, by comparison the 296 looks like the front and rear were designed by two different designers.

    I think its more the De Tomaso Vallelunga- its actually pictured in the official reveal video outside the factory as Dario pulls up

    I don't like the design of T.33. The nose and the overall shape are just not correct. Certainly not a classic. T.50 is much better. It feels like they had to compromise the design when moving from 3-seater to 2-seater. The fan was removed, but surprisingly it didn't make the rear end really any better. It looks quite boring.

    The positives are bargain price (compared to T.50), still a superb engine performance and low car weight, and clearly improved luggage space.

    Probably a spectacular car to drive, but not to look at. It almost feels they had to make it ugly to please T.50 buyers.

    Your stuck on the body color roll hoop? The wheels? Go make a render of it without it done in body color and go ahead and make the same comparison.

    And no, it doesnt look like an american front engine GT car.

    THIS is now the last NA Supercar and it will be simple and cheap to own/service. Nothing else will come close to its drivetrain, looks, simplicity, exclusivity. GMA just threw down something that truly will stand the test of time.
