Gordon Murray has revealed the S1 as a modern-day tribute to his seminal McLaren F1<\/a> supercar.<\/p>\n

The latest limited-run creation from Gordon Murray Automotive’s Special Vehicles division is a “more touring-focused” take on the S1 LM<\/a> revealed last year.<\/p>\n

While that car took inspiration from the Le Mans-winning F1 GTR, this new arrival is pitched as a follow-up to the 250mph F1 road car.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As such, it\u00a0has been completely rebodied with less fearsome\u00a0styling,\u00a0“optimised for mechanical grip, rather than high downforce”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It loses the massive rear wing, race-style front splitter and deep side skirts, while\u00a0a new active aero system at the rear helps to keep it stuck to the road at high speeds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The headlights are new, too, with integrated running lights to give a different signature to the S1 LM, while the new lightweight wheels are inspired by an early design for the F1 that Murray showed in 1992.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The S1 also rides 10mm higher than the S1 LM, on suspension that has been tuned for more compliance – at\u00a0minimal penalty to steering precision and feedback, according to GMA.<\/p>\n

Like the S1 LM, it’s fundamentally based\u00a0on the GMA T50<\/a>,\u00a0using the same 681bhp\u00a04.2-litre Cosworth V12 and manual gearbox \u2013 reconfigured with a\u00a0broader torque range for “effortless touring”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite the less hardcore remit and a higher-spec cockpit with three leather seats, a beefier sound system and more sound deadening,\u00a0the carbonfibre-bodied S1 weighs less than the T50.<\/p>\n

The S1 will be a less exclusive proposition than the five-off S1 LM, with 64 units planned to be built.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gordon Murray has revealed the S1 as a modern-day tribute to his seminal McLaren F1 supercar.
