How Fast is the GORDON MURRAY T.50S? 1/4 Mile Drag Race and Analysis
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ย. 2021
- In this video we talk about the Gordon Murray T.50S Niki Lauda edition. The T.50 makes 725 HP from a V-12 that revs to 12,100 RPM! The whole car weighs under 2,000 pounds and makes over 3,000 pounds of downforce. First, we go through specs of the Gordon Murray T.50 and then we head over to the drag race simulator to test the 0-60, 1/4 mile and 60-130 times.

If the ISG added another 30 HP, then that would give it around 750 Bhp for maybe a couple of laps. Apparently Gordon's team is confident they can get it down to maybe 840 kilos. Also there is a set of super short gear ratios that maxes out at 170+ mph for max acceleration. 210 mph is the long geared version.
@@srinitaaigaura but an 8 second 1/4 mile is crazy
750 hp are not enough eventhough its a bit under 1000kg
I dont understand!!
Also the f1 V8 on car wow is running 9.5 sec max with less weight and a bit more power
@@FirstLast-tx3yj F1 cars on a proper track do an 8.26 sec quarter mile at 175.8 mph (this year Imola, Lewis Hamilton).
@@FirstLast-tx3yj What? It has the same power to weight as a Koenigsegg One:1 on regular gas, maybe a bit more in final spec with ISG and ram air induction and if they can get the weight down a bit more. It's a tiny car, little drag. 8 sec is possible on a drag strip on slick tires because launch decides the time. Power and Weight determine the trap speed.
@@srinitaaigaura yess but an f1 car has turbis and tons more torque and power than the t50 at the same weight
Btw i was referencing the NA v8 redbull car with 850hp which is much more comparable to the t50 then the hybeis new F1 cars
Wow, this is a channel that deserves to grow! Great stuff :)
Thanks for adding this car to your site. I saw some videos of the car, and racecar drivers were glowing about it's capabilities. At 4.4 million most of them will likely be collector toys of the super rich. But no doubt a rare few wealthy owners will actively drive and race them. It would be interesting to see this against the 2023 Tesla Roadster and Rimac Nevera. They are fundamentally opposite in design, but similar in acceleration.
Rimac Nevera will be first in straight line but on track the T50 will eat these porky electric cars.
@@tobycyril780 As you would expect from a $4.4 million dollar race car.
@@deanmcmanis9398 Nevera is a 3 million dollars car
The fact that a naturally aspirated car with 725 hp does the same quarter mile time as 1,000 hp plus electric cars and other hypercars that are double the hp is nuts
This dummy never heard about power to weight ratio. So far is slower then Honda Civic because it hasn't been even produced or tested
"Add power you are faster in a straight line, reduce weight you are faster everywhere"
@@derekk5992 it’s still impressive none the less idiot? How many cars have this type of engineering? Nowadays people just slam 1,000 plus hp and think it’s fast while Gordon Murray is a genius and making a car lighter is 10x harder compared to just adding power stay mad that this car gaps whatever you drive
@@derekk5992 also you think this is slower than Honda Civic because it hasn’t been produced? These numbers are literally from professional articles about the car and the simulator is clearly accurate to what most cars can do irl the mclaren F1 back literally 25 years ago is still faster than a plaid which has advanced technology the t.50 literally proves hp isn’t everything it’s still amazing quit being a fanboy my guy
@@derekk5992 I think you’re the dummy because other 1,100 plus hp cars have better power to weight than the t.50 yet the t.50 keeps up look at the jesko absolut for example that’s a 1600 hp car that weighs under 3,000 pounds and has a power to weight of 1.74 the t.50 has 725 hp and weighs 1,875 pounds but it has a power to weight of 2.59 so way worse than the jesko and what’s funny is that the jesko with a better power to weight and wayyyy more hp barely beats the t.50 in the quarter mile by .2 secs of a difference this is a naturally aspirated 3.9 liter v12 car keeping up with a 5.5 liter v8 with double the hp in a straight line!
🔥🔥🔥
Wonder how accurate this is. Pretty cool
A simulation of the Ultima RS with the LT5 800hp or 1200 hp is possible ?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
If the ISG added another 30 HP, then that would give it around 750 Bhp for maybe a couple of laps. Apparently Gordon's team is confident they can get it down to maybe 840 kilos. Also there is a set of super short gear ratios that maxes out at 170+ mph for max acceleration.
For those wondering, even without the 30 HP kick of the ISG and maybe an even lower final weight, the T50S makes as much power to weight as a Koenigsegg One : 1 on regular gasoline and it runs on slicks, so 0-60 will be 2.4 sec or less. No wonder it does a 160+ trap speed. The 15 kg (150 N) push of the fan is also equivalent to drag at around 80 kmph so it's not insignificant. Now add both to the equation. On a track, this will slaughter them all.
Could you make full track simulations too or are they too much complex?
It's much more difficult than straight line acceleration, but possible. Need to simulate lateral grip and braking which is very difficult to get accurate. Maybe at some point in the future!
@@MotorMatchup I see, thanks
@@MotorMatchup
What would estimate the "Ring" time to be? Under 6mins?
@@larrymanalodmd5846given its weight and unbelievably high downmarket thanks to that mental fan, I think we may see it sub 6, or certainly close.
I can't wait to see that
It makes twice its weight in downforce and still has a Cd of only 0.4?? Madness!
Since the downforce doesn't come from aero alone, you cant assume a high drag coefficient.
Isn't 5.0:1 final drive ratio crazy high? It is the first car I've heard that much a ratio.
Isn't this car available with regular 6 speed H pattern manual transmission only ?
I believe the T.50S has an automatic while the base T.50 has a manual
@@MotorMatchup yea , I think you're right . Seems like the T50S is a non street legal race car for track only .
Yes it has a Xtrac IGS (instantaneus gear shift) system, pre selected gear, so when you release the current gear it's already in next one :)
@@TheKikkomaster It's a proper F1 style gearbox. How they even managed to conceive of the gearshift mechanism blows my mind.
2100 with fluids
There is no way Gordon designed a car with.4 co eff drag. Lots of the down force comes from ground affects
Does anyone make engines as well as cosworth these days? Koenigsegg makes mean turbo engines, but no one makes na engines like cosworth.
What about Aston Martin Valkyrie?
I'll make a video on the Valkyrie in the future!
Aston promised 200 mph in less than 10 seconds back then
I thought it is 650bhp
I'd expect the regular version to be faster in a straight line. The track version is for racing......around a racetrack.
So, its pretty much an overpriced Plaid? lol :)
It is a plaid killer in the straights and the turns and the sound will bring the Gods to earth.
It is a badass car, I agree 💯
Yes, it can beat the Plaid, but the Plaids best time while being recorded was a 9.018 et. And this car does 8.88 et. So other than the looks, I stick to my comment, it’s basically an overpriced Plaid 👍🏼
@@jasongebhardt9194 Which clearly proves you know nothing about what makes a real car.
I agree 💯 again, I’m far from an automotive engineer. Good talking to ya bud 👍🏼
@@jasongebhardt9194 so what happens when you turn the steering wheel at 150 mph in the Plaid?
