Gordon Murray T.33

this car is excessively over-hyped.. because, it is by Gordon Murry and those obsequious promotional videos/reviews from various British magazines and car vloggers. it looks like a bowl of boring white rice/pasta without sauce/curry , not a $million+ car.... but it deserves applause as it's a pure ICE car against the ev trend, especially in Britain.

Re. T.33 Design:
I was struggling a bit with the big front "mouth". Most images just shows a dark gaping "hole". However, on some pictures you can see how the front air-intake separators actually creates a very distinct front. That was the last piece to fall into place for me. I absolutely love it - all of it (the T.33).

I am surprised that there are no comments on the vertical windshield wiper. I think it is awesome.

The design review by Bembli, showed me some lines that I was not seeing at first. One of them, was the fender line from the rear top, through the tail light, continuing diagonally down through the rear portion. Looks fantastic.

While the T.33 may seem bland to some, I think we are in for quite an impact once it is shown outside in full daylight.

And - Let's not forget about the Ram Induction - quite the (design) feature!

 

I noticed the same thing about the front mouth and how it gets split by the front intakes, which is not obvious in most photos that show it in shadow.

As you said, this will be a highly impactful design in the flesh.

 

There is no question, this design keeps opening up and getting better and better, like un-peeling the layers of an onion.

From the Bembli video, I liked the fender peaks planted directly over the tire footprint.

Thanks for posting the front end detail photo, I hadn't seen that one before. It illustrates the front intakes very well.

 

As I’ve mentioned, there’s nothing wrong with the design. It’s clean and simple. All fine. But it’s just, eh. For me, a car of this caliber should be exciting and inspiring. Like, when Gandini’s Countach was revealed in Geneva in 1971. Or, for a modern example, when the LaFerrari and Enzo were unveiled. Cutting edge but also beautiful. A standard bearer. I know Murray is all about function, which is great, but that doesn’t inspire dreams for most. I don’t see his two recent cars being plastered on anyones bedroom wall. That said, there are clearly enough people that find it great, so I’m sure he’ll do just fine.

 

Now a days, car’s valance of this age is manufactured by computer control.

When car gets heavy,
When car gets too much power,
When car gets electric assistance,

Traction control should be on all the time to explore deep into what is possible.

It is like fly by wire and that is intended from the beginning.

But when car is designed with natural valance in mind, oh god, it suddenly feels all great things happening while driving.

This car will be the pinacle of natural valance. I don’t care about lesser looks for what is asked to pay.

On the contrary, I am happy for rather normal looks because I know I will find every excuse for another drive in this car not worrying about unwanted attention from the people. Too much is going on when driving supercars with outstanding design so that driving itself is suddenly no fun at all.

I gave up with my chiron and I don’t drive it anymore. So I really appriciate the look of T33. It fits!

Thanks for posting those lovely photos.... me too I love the single central wiper

 

Exactly! I just want to drive, and enjoy the work that has gone into creating the T.33. As said before: Automotive Perfection.
Most people will probably think it's a (good looking) kit car, and not pay much attention to it. Perfect.

 

I think I'm the 8th poster on here to be getting one. Very excited, it's been a dream to have a Gordon Murray car for nearly 30 years. Coming to SW Florida.

 

Wow. Quite a 1st post to make after 10 years on Ferrarichat lol.

 

I'm a man of few words! I don't tend to post without skin in the game (albeit a lot of skin this time around).

 

Enjoy. That’s all that matters.

 

Fantastic and congratulations! What is the chassis number?
The more I look at it - the more I like it.

 

I'm no 30.

Congrats

 

T.33 Goodwood Presentation.
Unfortunately, timing is off for me to go to Goodwood this weekend. I am very much looking forward to seeing some outside images of the T.33.
Wonder if they now have an engine in it and/or if the interior is finished.
Anyone here going? If yes, take lots of pictures and post them, please.

 

Henry mentioned T-33 public debut is the show car, non-running, not finished interior iirc. Same one Gordon Murray chatted with press about.

Also that the same car will be in Monterey in August.

BTW, wechat seems, well, dead, folks still using?

 

Thanks Klinkman.
I will aim for Monterey!
Note, I have not been on wechat. Didn't know about it.

 

Are you a T.33 deposit holder (have a chassis number)? If so, let me know and I can PM the contact info for you. Apologies if not, I thought I recognized your alias as a T.33 guy.

 

Yes. Chassis number 017.

 

congrats
