The first T50s Niki Lauda customer car is ready. \u00a0
\nGordon Murray will unveil the car at this year\u2019s Goodwood Festival of Speed. \u00a0
\nThe 761-horsepower track-only supercar is one of four cars Gordon Murray is showing off at the event. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The next iteration of Gordon Murray\u2019s T50 supercar is almost here. The bespoke automaker will publicly reveal the track-only T.50s Niki Lauda at this year\u2019s Goodwood Festival of Speed, and this is our first look at the first customer car. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Lauda features a white body and a simple South African flag-inspired livery, which includes a hood stripe and accent colors on the fins. The car honors Murray\u2019s first Formula 1 victory at the 1974 South African Grand Prix. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Gordon Murray will demonstrate the T50s Niki Lauda<\/a>, chassis 1, at the event by driving it up the famous hill. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The T.50s features a 3.9-liter Cosworth V12 engine that produces 761 horsepower at 11,500 rpm. It is an evolution of the automaker\u2019s road-going T50, with power routed through a six-speed gearbox with paddle shifters.<\/p>\n

Drivers sit in the center, with the adjustable aerodynamics generating up to 2,645 pounds of downforce. Gordon Murray is only making 25 examples, and each one has already been spoken for. It has a $3 million starting price. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Gordon Murray\u2019s Other Goodwood Reveals \u00a0<\/p>\n

Gordon Murray will show off three other cars alongside the T50s at this year\u2019s Goodwood Festival of Speed<\/a>. The event will serve as the venue for the European reveal of the S1 LM design model. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Attendees will also see the company\u2019s Le Mans GTR XP1 prototype race up the hill, which previews the 24 production models<\/a> GM is preparing to build. The final vehicle to join the group is the T.33 Spider validation prototype, called VP12. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Godon Murray, the company\u2019s executive chairman, said that it is already building the T.50s, while T.33 and T.33 Spider<\/a> are \u201cwell through development.\u201d It is also creating a more \u201cspecialized range of vehicles\u201d to \u201cexplore the limits of our design and engineering philosophy.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

Motor1\u2019s Take: Gordon Murray has accomplished quite a lot in just six years, and it looks like the company is far from slowing down. The T50s Niki Lauda is the next step for the hypercar, but we are excited to see what comes next.\u00a0<\/p>\n
