- Gordon Murray takes me round the GMA T.50 and explains why he decided to launch this new supercar now, which he sees as the rightful successor to the mighty McLaren F1. With a bespoke 3.9litre Cosworth V12 that pumps out 663bhp at an incredible 11,500rpm and weighing only 986kg at the kerb, performance is going to be astonishing. Yet there's enough luggage space to make this a usable GT. The T.50 looks to be a truly amazing new supercar..

Let's be honest, we all saw the videos from Top Gear, Drivetribe, ... and all we thought was: I'll watch Harry's video!
Simply the best car guy in my eyes.
I didn’t see them. Only this popped up.
You read my mind..!!!
Yep
i think i have for or five in subs, this was 1st i watched , and doubt very much i will learn anything more on all the rest , will let u know
Yup, Harry's Garage first and then Carfection. Actually they discussed some different things so it's definitely worth watching both of these. I can't speak to the rest, but maybe I'll check those out as well. But yeah, watching these two discuss this future legend was just incredible.
30:22 "No touchscreens anywhere. I absulutely hate them!" +++++++++++++++++++++ Thank God!
YES. I hate touchscreens deeply!
Every detail Gordon covers here is absolutely perfect. But there is just one small detail I really don't like. Those rearview screens look hideous, they need to be integrated.. almost as bad as the Tesla floating iPad! Everything else I can't argue with, I logical mix of analog and digital. It all makes sense
Most modern cars will outlast their touchscreens because the average lifespan of a smartphone is three years.
Yeh, as soon as you touch it fingerprints everywhere!
@@michaelopere5424 A friend of mine has a new Subaru. He has taken the car in to get the giant screen replaced three times in two years. THREE TIMES.
30:23 - "No touch screens....anywhere! Absolutely........hate them". Thumb up!
It is then I stand up and applause,alone in my room!!!!
Two Legends of the industry talking about tomorrow’s icon. Must watch.
Harry is as good as they get, and he makes wonderful videos for us time and again!
David Woollcott . It burns fossil fuel, how can it be tomorrow’s icon?
@@advancelast1740 An icon doesn't have to be technologically advanced. It's just an icon.
(BTW. This car is technologically advanced but it's just burning fuel.)
We will be using hydrocarbons for another 20-30 years. Easily enough time for this to become an icon; Gordon Murray concedes this point himself during the interview...
@@Billywoo12 Probably even longer than that.
I'm currently studying automotive and the main technology we study is internal combustion engines.
During school projects engines have been built with mileage of 1000km / litre.
I'm very positive that hydrocarbons will still be used as fuel 50 years from now. The source of these fuels might shift however.
At last a car without any f%$#^* touch screen. This guy is my new hero.
Avec un vrai levier de vitesses !
The Bugattis don't have screens.
Truly the last analogue supercar
I would have liked it if it had an analog speedometer too - that would make it totally timeless. But it would mess up the symmetry of the dash.
My car is 17 years old so no screens lol
After 20 years, this interview is gonna be a legend.
Engineering lesson compressed
Would love to see a round table chat with Gordon Murray, Adrian Newey and Christian Von Koenigsegg
"The glass panel is a no cost option...I would hate to force 4.5 kilos on anybody." Porsch and Ferrari really need to pay attention
"22 inch wheels are nonsense" Amen.
"Carbon wheels are dodgy"!
And GM provides a technical explanation
Yes. A lot of cars these day are designed by marketing team not engineering team, it looked cool but a pain in the ass to drive daily
Amen ?
33:23: "A gearstick is a gearstick". Amen.
@@johnthedude1000 As in "Finally a car company who tells the truth". Oversized wheels are advertised as sporty while no race car have bigger wheels (rims) than 18". The only thing 22" stock wheels tell you is the obesity of the car.
One intelligent gentleman interviewing another intelligent gentleman. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
blabla, it's a nice car but this is just a two person circle jerk.
SJAAKSJAAKSJAAK have you no soul!
But not intelligent enough at the time to recognize the global scam.
I've now seen 5 different interviews with Murray and this is the only one where it feels like just 2 friends chitchating about cars. Magic.
I chose this one out of all the selection available to start off.
There are way too many interviews. I wish he just did a 60min all singing, all dancing video.
Agreed. I also enjoyed the carfection one but Henry Catchpole at times seemed a bit lost for words/questions. Understandably so given the magnitude of this amazing car.
Couldn't agree more. Harry asks all the right questions. Details details details.
I loved the topgear video because of the F1 in it. His old F1 . With Some stories .
Gordon Murray is a no bullshit, purist, pragmatist. I love his thinking and design philosophy.
That's precisely what's fascinating about him (and Harry coming to think of it). When you look at Jung’s 16 personality types people seem to fall (almost invariably) either in one of two camps: creative design or pragmatism… it’s almost mutually exclusive and it’s very rare to find people who combine those two traits. No wonder the car is a literal engineering beauty.
@@superfost2001 It's the combination of passion and emotion, structured and manifested through reason. I guess it takes a pretty integrated personality to achieve that.
And not to forget - he's able to explain all the complicated things in layman terms without sounding stupid.
Spot on, I hate bullshit car wafflers and smartarses, a true Brit and normal guy it’s a pity more don’t follow his ethics 😎
@@Scotty-UK He's South African not British! although to hear him speak, you think he was British.
“I have no idea , I don’t care about numbers”
Seriously, I love Gordon Murray’s mentality.
Right? He made this car with the wisdom of an old man but catering to his inner young man. He went straight for the feels!
@@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST true!
His philosophy naturally sorts the numbers out.
@@weallfollowmanutd It will beat all the predicted numbers. Someone analyzed the F1's numbers on the record run with no rev limiter. Ridiculous. 0-300 18.6 sec. Quarter mile 10.6s at 139 mph. Just a second off the P1.
A man who doesn't care about numbers tells us the weight of every component, the percentage reduction in drag coefficient, the flow rate of the undercar channels, and in short so many numbers that we could write a maintenance manual just from what he says off the cuff. Not criticising, just sayin'.
This popped up in multiple channels today, of course I watched Harry's first.
So did I!
Too right, mate! 👍😎
First?you should watch ONLY this one.
th-cam.com/video/2XG8MXdv_OU/w-d-xo.html
Damn right. Go to the most knowledgeable and experienced person first. Then look at the other videos after to pass some time.
I love listening to a passionate enginere who knows his stuff without having to resort to any BS in his designs. Great looking car - hope I get to see one one day.
when you hear Murray talk and explain ... designing such masterpieces suddenly sounds sooooooo easy and logical ... what a Giant, what a Genius!
That’s Gordon’s way of engineering, I just thinks of the simple things everyone would over look
He didn't get where he is today without a great depth of knowledge.
Murray is a gentle genius. He doesn't need to impress us, his work does it for him. And on top of it all he has an unbelievable aesthetic eye, designing beautiful and efficient cars. I'd compare him to Nathaniel Herreshoff, who designed the most beautiful and the fastest racing yachts in the early 20th century. His F1 cars were the most beautiful and the fastest of their periods, like the Brabham BT-52 or the McLaren MP4/4
No touch screens, no ugly aero, no overstyling, no huge wheels, no turbochargers, no automatic, no gimmicks...
THANK YOU Gordon. This car is the antidote to everything wrong with enthusiast cars today.
100% this. Lets hope this trickles down to some cars the rest of us can enjoy. Its why I like my Mx-5 nd2 so much. Its about the driver experience. I literately think the T-50 has more storage space than my mx-5 which is nuts.
Yes, but I'd take an automatic version if they made on and I was lucky enough to be rich enough to buy one. Sadly they don't and I"m not. But everything you said.... YES.
ya there is actually a lot of "no" for a huge price 😂
he is like a telepath reading my and probably not only my thoughts and then he even carries out them.
Im surprised they're only building 100.
I could listen to Gordon Murray talk about cars for hours.
CAR*. I could listen to him talk about a single car, the T.50 for example, for hours.
So true
Well there is a podcast he did with Chris Harris, pretty cool.
When the best auto journalist meet with the best auto designer.
Masterpiece.
With the F1 successor. Masterbate.
@John Simard Then go to your grandma and enjoy her Tesla. Tesla has its flaws in many ways and it surely isn't the one and only ethalon. Tesla is a gadget with functions comparable to cars while this thing is all about to maximize the driving experience in its old-fashioned, original mean and way.
John Simard what are you on about? Harry has done multiple EV reviews including Tesla’s. Get a clue.
John Simard because it has incredible engineering? Just because a car is electric doesn’t make it instantly superior in every way. This car weighs less than 1000kg, but has a 600+ hp. It appeals to true car and driving enthusiasts, not Elon cult members like yourself.
@John Simard A grandmother car lol or this ultimate drivers car.
Murray proves something Chris Harris said “Let the engineer give you the car he wants to design”. Not using focus groups etc. It looks so small for what they have put in it. A fabulous feat of engineering from all concerned. Does make you wonder how our car industry went so wrong when we have so much talent! I look forward to seeing it on the road!
Gordon's team: we heva a problem with heat in the....
Gordon: *GOLD shall it be, then*
Lol
I think that was more about occasion, with the excuse of heat shielding. I cannot prove it, but that is what I think! It worked, all good.
Just broke $2k/oz. That's probably why the F1 is worth so much, these days!
Who needs German crap when we have Great British engineering! 👍
+Harry's garage - So Good to hear an expert engineer actually talking expert engineering. Harry with his own expert enthusiasm gets the best out of these interesting engineering experts - Many thanks indeed Harry.
At 44:25 "Can't remember the last road car engine without belts." The VW Transporter T5 all-alloy 5-clyinder...?
What an automotive legend. This guy is 74, 74 years old, looks about 54.
Thanks for the info. I was waiting till the end of this to Google his name and age. Such a brilliant man. Incredible.
PS Harry seemed all excited. I was ! Sad though that many of those wonder machines will end up around the Persian Gulf...
@@marcryvon - if i were Gordon I wouldn't allow any Middle Eastern person to buy one....and I'm Lebanese lol
@@HC7-MA keefek ya habibi!
54?! what the hell do u have to eat to look that bad at 54?!
”I just like the look of heatsinks” - yaas, love the details
I could have happily watched a 3 hour version of this without a break, loved every second! Gordon's design philosophy and knowledge are truly the gold standard
He's 74 years old. Amazing.
@Armand d’Hubert Who cares about "isms", leave that for the virtue signalling lefty liberals to screech about. The rest of us just get on with being down to earth and in touch with reality.
@@EgoShredder Isms are for armchair people with too much idle time for silly opinion outrage.
@@srinitaaigaura In some cases that's true unless you really are on the receiving end of one.
@Armand d’Hubert My comment was said with love. Don't be negative. Do you need a hug?
@ What I really, really love about his viewpoint is the dedication to long term quality and reliability as well as maximum performance. In my opinion, this is what puts his designs in a different class than so many others. He makes it as sophisticated as it needs to be, but absolutely eschews flash or bleeding edge ideas that are not proven.
"I wouldn't force 4.5kg on anybody" - what a legend
Come on it is a multimillion dollar car
Allen Saunders dollars try pounds 💷
A Chapman like quote, tee shirt worthy.
@DATING HARLEY QUINN Hahaha!
Gordon Murray and Harry metcalf what a combination
Seriously, give them at least part of Top Gear, I might watch again.
Quite possibly one of the most interesting, and life-affirming videos I’ve watched in a long time. A privilege to hear Gordon talk through in such detail, and I’m glad that we live in a world where such a thing can exist!
Who else thinks that Harry will check page 84 as soon as he gets home? Pure pure joy. Felt like 10 minutes. Thank you Gordon & Harry.
Completely agree, best thing I've watched in a long time.
I'm sure the driving experience will be magnificent.
But that engine........ will pay money to hear it working hard
Mr. Metcalfe, you've knocked it out of the park with this one if I may say so, sir.
I haven't been excited about an car in a very long time but my god this is such an amazing work of art. Quite honestly perfection.
Imagine having so much knowledge about cars in your head. Astonishing.
And he's poured just about all of it into this car by the sound of it!
“We call this a return to beauty” sums it up perfectly. What a creation - makes a lot of super cars look clumsy and crude.
What a brilliant mind Gordon Murray has, and so fascinating to hear him describe the way it evolved. Thanks again Harry.
Yes. Reminds me bit of Rob Dickinson. Similar minds I'd say.
Love the clean look. Not a fan of the apollo IE so over designed and fussy. This is perfect
John Simard Speed is about much more than just 0-60. I wish people would understand that.
John Simard That’s got nothing to do with car driving. Just like F1 is the pinnacle of motor sports, light cars with ultimate handling capabilities is the pinnacle of sports cars. Straight line performance is of inferior importance. That said, I have no doubt that this car will crush Tesla’s 10.5-10.4 quartermile time. The McLaren P1 does the quartermile in 9.8, and this will almost certainly be faster than that.
John Simard Good for you. Ever considered spending your time on something other than a car oriented TH-cam-channel? I fear you are wasting your time.
It’s just impossible to not like Gordon Murray and appreciate his vision and ethos in terms of what a properly useable hypercar can and should be.
He comes across as a little smug but he can back it up. It's really interesting hearing his thoughts about the design decisions and you have to listen to the man who designed the F1.
Its his vision of a hypercar not the only worthwhile one. I like him but belittling everyone else's ideas about designing cars is not that appealing not needed to promote yourself
@@allensaunders449 He's just being honest.. If you owned those cars you would probably see reality, yes they have character because of those flaws but spend any time with them and you'd also be annoyed.
Harry kept quiet about how he hates indicators on the steering wheel. 😂
I thought Harry actually seemed quite nervous and jittery in this video. i think he was meeting his hero.
Lol 😂 u don't talk shit to the man GM
@@simonlloyd7557 Yep, lots of strange gushing going on - a bit like a young school girl!
simon lloyd ...Never seen Harry quite like this. Showing this sort of childlike excitement should be celebrated. Easy to become quite jaded in this life.
😉
Listening to these two made me all emotional! The depth of this man's love of that engine, the compromises, the feel, the explicit engineering of each nut bolt and washer, the history, the mathematics of it all! Thank you Gordan for your genius. Thank you Harry for wonderful video.
53 minutes of bliss. Thanks Harry.
Thanks Gordon Murray
Yes
I had to check the video, I thought it was about 20 mins time flys and all that.
@@kevinsnowdon9797 exactly my thoughts
Will never be an owner, a driver or even get to see one. Just to know that such a car exists with a no compromise to what the designer wanted makes me smile.
Thankyou Mr Murray for walking us around your creation its been a privilege.
Never say never!!
My apologies Harry. I wrote my comment before noticing that you had already expressed the same. Isn't the car just absolutely wonderful !
Harry and Gordon talking engineering: this just *might* be the single best car video out there.
lol. Nah. Harry doesn't know shit compared to Murray
@@comdrive3865 guess being the owner of evo doesn't help with anything
@@NoName-oq8qu Harry is a businessman, he likes to give synopsis, Murray is the GOAT.
Two years later! I'm re-watching this and still it is an automotive journalist masterpiece
THIS is the person I wanted to see interviewing Gordon Murray! Can’t wait to watch!
The only one that matters.
This feels like a present. Thanks Harry and Gordon.
I'd love for this to become a series where you're able to follow the development of the facility and the car as they ramp things up. I could listen to dozens of hours of this.
Good point.. Me too.. I just couldn't stop watching and listening.. I love it
@@twcmaker Indeed. I even watched another 3 or 4 of almost the same videos on some other channels, but I liked Harry's the best.
@@TheBrokenLife just Harry for me nowadays. The rest don't even come close to his experience and knowledge. Top car guy without any doubt.
@@twcmaker FWIW, the Top Gear video was pretty good. They showed up with Gordon's old F1 prototype to compare the T.50 to. That was pretty cool because Gordon then spent about half the time talking about the F1.
How fun is it to watch someone who is passionate about what they do.
Simply stunning car. I'm still a fan of the F1, but this is about to place the F down on the list. Love Gordon's work.
yeah but uhh... its kinda ugly, no? lets be honest
@@aeromotive2 Don't buy one then.
I cannot remember the last time I was absolutely glued to my television like I just was this past hour. Hearing Mr Murray speak... Wow. Truly captivating. An absolute legend.
Ok, that's it. It doesn't get any better.
Absolutely love the car: middle seat, no touch screens, no 'look at me' spoilers...pure perfection all the way.
Pretty big look at me fan in the rear, though.
I'm sure the track version will have look at me aero and wing
This is quite possibly the best video I've ever seen.
Thank you, Harry, for bringing us this and going into the detail that makes us truly appreciate the level of engineering that has gone into this beautiful car.
First time I’ve watched a Harry’s Garage video and it was great. How refreshing to hear genuine engineering based interviews. Listening to Gordon Murray is like hearing Professor of Cars at Cambridge University.
Harry gets far more out of this interview, because he knows when to listen and when to prompt. Fab stuff. Great watch. Priced nicely out of touch of the pcp you tubers too.
"PCP TH-camrs" or as I call them "Hi guyssz!!"
Hahaha! You don't think Shmee will be itching to get one? LOL.
A true F1 successor. Nothing McLaren has produced afterwards comes close.
indeed, P1 jsut miles better
Prefer the 720s.
This makes the Speedtail look pathetic.
Just become you are supposed to say the F1 was best car ever doesn't mean it's true for everyone. I have heard some say the Porsche 918 is best car ever.
@@allensaunders449 Too heavy mate great car though
I love everything this car stands for, everything about it is so special and unique. Not a hint of marketing nonsense in sight. Thanks for this video Harry
My thoughts exactly, the absence of marketing is what makes this car looks perfect to me, even though I do not like the actual look.
@@Duron13 Exactly, its just the whole ideology. And ironically, with the absence of a marketing department, they've hit the nail on the head in terms of what enthusiasts want. Its great to see
Gordon Murray's name is all the marketing you need for wealthy petrolheads.
Agree he has made the car how he envisioned it to be. My only worry is the engine. A V12 is almost obsolete today let alone in 2 years time when the car will be in production. Emissions and subsidies are going to be bit of an issue in the UK and Europe. I guess the clients for this car will not worry too much, but V12s are not used nowadays for a reason. In saying that, a naturally aspirated V12 makes an amazing sound and are great fun.
@@filipkonopacki1547 very true!
Am I the only one that has the distinct impression after watching this video that Ferrari and Lamborghini make cars full of bullshit you not need in a driver-focused supercar?
It's not 1950 anymore. Gone are the good ferrari and lamborghinis
Don't mind lamborghini to be fair , but absolutely hate ferrari , company and cars . Grew up loving them to . This t50 is everything a performance car should be . Usable power and not something stupid like a 1000bhp and 250 mph to drive through London at 20mph and show off .
@@comdrive3865 I’m sorry but that’s just a ridiculous statement
its all the electronic gizmos that ruin the driving experience. The buyers of these cars want 10" touch screens with apple car play or else they wont buy it. Its ridiculous.
@@kirksmith347 touch screens and apple carplay ruin driving experience? OHH
The fact that he didn’t think he should put a manual in the first place, he only felt he could once prospective buyers begged him to, amazes me. That tiny gripe is all I have, I’m so glad I watched this video from Harry, going into the real details and hearing Gordon talk about it was so invigorating. This is a man after my own heart.
He thought no one wanted them. But when they did it was "music to his ears"
Gordon “the 22” wheel is nonsense.” Bravo, the whole rubber bands for tires is stupid.
always had a gut feeling these really big wheels on today's cars were just an ego fashion statement.
If these are actually useful then GT3 cars would be running on 21 inch rims...
@@RS-nq8xk Well said
"The only mission in life this car has is to be the absolute ultimate driving experience anyone has ever had, since the car was invented" Oh. My. Word. I was a massive fan of the F1 - still am - and this just looks incredible. Looking forward to the road tests!
That's got to be one of the most enjoyable videos on cars this year, I want to see some T50 content with Harry, Gordon and George!
The Gods of industry talking what is from today, the best car that will ever be made.
This is a bookmark day and i will never ever forget it, thank you so much Harry Love Ya
Maybe it will most likely but someone's gotta keep out doing it, it's what Gordan would want. He made the F1 and gave the tech away yet no one followed it. So he just said "Fine, I'll do it myself"
The world is a better place with Harry's Garage and Gordon Murray - thank you both.
The term gets thrown around too loosely at times, but Gordon Murray truly is a genius.
How about Jim Hall?
How is he?
If Christian von Koenigsegg is Thor's computer, Gordon is Mozart's pen set.
Cloxxki ohhh love that analogy
ชชชชชชช
I really love how Gordon even pointed out the engineering flaws and limitations the McLaren F1 had and how the T50 improves on it; this machine is really worth the asking price, the customers really paid for remarkable engineering.
I could just see Harry thinking "oh no the indicators are gonna be unfindable on any roundabout, should have gone with a column stalk".
This is all amazing. Gordon's attitude towards everything is spot on. Glad to hear him call out carbon wheels on road cars .
Is he right other companies love carbon wheels and have had years of success using them. I love the t.50 but i don't know about that

Watch all the T50 review on youtube .. Harry’s review by far is the best. Both Gentlemen. Both grown up and most importantly.. they are COOL.
Correct!
Agreed. Both of them are masters on their profession. Master Engineer & Designer on the one side, Master Journalist on the other side.
There are 3 other good ones MRJWW, Carfection snd top gear
Allen Saunders I watched his clip.. no offence but I find MRJWW rather childish next to Mr Murray.
Phenomenal car, phenomenal engineering. Congratulations Gordon Murray for such an incredible achievement and thank you Harry for a brilliant review.
First time I've heard or seen this stunning and could listen to mr Murray all day he knows more about fast cars than just about anyone else Harry have to say your best vlog yet

@@maskito4256 on the rear, 19 on the front.

Obviously
Amarjit Singh
He dint say 19 is enough only on the front, right? So I pointed out that his own car has 20s. Cmon bruv, this ain’t rocket science.
Harry Metcalfe and Gordon Murray, my two favourite car people together on a one hour video. What a treat!
"I want to buy the car, but also want to buy another engine" This HAS to be Jay Leno
I literally thought the same thing
"I just like the look of heatsinks, so I stuck it on top" - right there: taste and inspiration coming together to a neat solution.
heatsinks do look pretty cool!
What a breath of fresh air Gordon Murray is. Loved the bit about the size of the wheels and the flashing multi-function, strobing indicators and the other nonsense that car manufactures come out with. Also couldn't agree more with the comments about cars getting bigger and heavier.
Harry is a legend, he's clever enough to know he's got a genius in front of him and he lets Gordon do the talking rather than interrupting as a lot of less competent people would do.
Yes I've been thinking for quite some time about this nonsensical fashion of enlarging, lengthening, widening. Take the humble Polo for example, or the even humbler Punto: they're now at least 30% bigger and wider than their ancestors, the Polo originally conceived as a practical little eurobox, her sibling now as big as a series 6-7 Golf, the old series 2 Punto a compact and nimble-looking (appearances can be deceiving...) little thing, now a ponderous oversized object with wannabe-a-D segment delusions. Or the Ka, or the Fiesta. In times when traffic congestion, parking spaces, fuel prices and whatsnot are crucial issues, I think car designers ought to focus on achieving the same modern standards of comfort and economy without listening to marketing gurus and proxy copycats 'suggestions'. Now, a modern and efficient, downsized environment- and wallet -friendly, no-nonsense vehicle would be the real new boy in town! Having said this, as regards the T.50, I think that Mr Murray has just made an outstanding, free-thinking and genial comeback, and he couldn't have had a more appropriate interviewer than our usual intelligent, classy, elegantly competent Harry Metcalfe: the various Top Gears, Jay Lenos, Doug De Muros etc (just who the heck do they think they are?) can quietly sit down, have their 2 pints of Pumpkin Spice Starbucks, count their USD and hope, one day, to have Harry's Garage style and casual professionalism. Though I doubt that very much.
Murray doing a car is like Daniel Day-Lewis cracking out a new film. Doesn’t happen often but lord have mercy it’ll be good....
This is the F-40 of the latter day.
The Matt LeTissier of car designers 😊
And there certainly will be blood.
@Marius Ipad I think LOADS of motoring journalists who actually drove it have said the f40 is one of the best cars they've all ever driven.
Yes it's impractical and Yes it's a bit lairy cause it can spool up on corners but that said they all mark it as one of the Best cars ever made in terms of the driving experience.
Luv and Peace.
Hit me for TH-cam review examples - Happy to serve.
Gordon Murray is absolutely incredible in explaining in depth car design so simply.
Using common sense (albeit on a far higher plane) to design a world class car.
Brilliant talker
Thank you, Harry. This is the most satisfying interview I have watched in a very long time. Two passionate people talking about the source of their passion. Legend interviewing Legend.
Voice shouting from the rear ‘Gordon I have Jay Leno on line 1 and Rowan Atkinson on line 2.....’
Gordon ‘Don’t worry they will both ring back....’
The most absorbing 53.06 I've ever watched and listened to on a screen.
It didn't seem to be that long.
It finished too quickly!
@Steve Cj For sure, these guys are so classy, top of their game.
I honestly watched his t50 intro 5 times I really like Gordon's vibe, I can see myself asking him questions
Did anybody else get the impression that Harry is a bit doubtful?
Saw them testing these at Millbrook while I was there, the sound is phenomenal
😍 I love the sound of a V12
"There is no rubbish on this car."
This.
Reason why I hardly find any new products - as a whole - appealing to me. Too much rubbish everywhere!
I can't afford Mr Murrays art, so a S1 Elise without a radio had to do.

@@devandrasimanjuntak1646 lolz
Agree. Thats why I still drive a 2008 Mazda-3... For the pure driving experience. Haters gonna say I can't afford anything better ...
I think the car could have used some rubbish , it looks kind of like an anorexic frog. Supercar aggression comes from some angularity and edginess. Just not too much of it. 13:47 The sketch is really good , it just needs lower front wheel arches and the windshield needs to move rearward about 6 inches. They would fly off the shelves.
Absolutely the best 53 mins and 6 sec's of car show I have ever watched. Murray explaining the fan and Harry knowing the best ever questions to ask given his knowledge. The mutual respect between Gordon Murray and Harry is also very obvious.
I've never known 53:06 fly by so fast, brilliant, thank you both, Harry and Gordon.
I can listen to him all day talk about his car. He knows every bolt in it
"Is there a titanium toolkit for this car?" - these are the sorts of questions i want on my car shows. More long casual chat videos please Harry
I like these ironic questions here and there, spices up the conversation just it's good to not overdo it to not make an idiot out of your self and the other person to not think about how you are just wasting his time and insulting his intelligence.
"No touch screen anywhere, absolutely hate them" 👍
12k rpm.....it's about time someone did that. Thank you for keeping the real engine dream alive. Love it !!!!
Murray explains everything with such confidence and calm. I could listen to him all day. Like the David Attenborough of automotive. Brilliant. I can't wait to see it tested.
"The David Attenborough of automotive". What a perfect description! :-D

Love the way Gordon just cuts through the current BS car trends. Amazing and fascinating video into the workings of a genius. Thanks so much for sharing this with us Harry!
1:19 that is one BEAUTIFUL engine!
I LOVE the fact that this comes with a naturally-aspirated engine, in a world where every car from the soccer mom SUV to the highest performing Le Mans prototypes and F1 cars are using turbos for "easy" power, a pure NA engine revving high is like a slice of car heaven.
And again I swear as pretty as the T50 looks that engine surpasses the car itself in beauty and engineering elegance!
the front facia isnt for me and its an unattainable future collector car, would lobe to see the tech trickle down to something reasonable but this is the coolest thing ive seen since the huyra
Turbos, atleast in their modern form, are boring, lame, lifeless, etc. In my opinion of course. Tbh, I don’t even consider forced induction cars to be in the same class as NA. That’s why I hate it when people compare cars like the 720s to the 812 super fast. When is a terrible sounding, boring v8 with a lifeless engine. The other is a screaming NA V12 making 800 horses from 12 big cylinders. There’s just not a comparison, you could stick a turbo or two in the 812 and it would be making 1000+ hp. But that’s just boring....
@@mikemoggerson6651 I dont think you can really say that one car is beneath another due to engineering differences. I love the Huayra because the chassis is amazing and it is vilified by people who peddle the ideology that N/A cars are the best things ever made. Its hard to love cars that are made through the resentment of the present. i like the idea of looking into the past, but if it dosent improve the future and is only made to appease those who look into the past. why even bother making the t50 in the first place.
An hour tour of the car when the “influencers” do 6mins, Mr. Metcalfe you spoil us! Excellent video.
Harry and Gordon, two amazingly humble, and brilliantly minded enthusiasts in one place! Gordon is such a regular, no nonsense, but fun chasing "man's man", that I feel like it extends that affectation to his car as well. I want to believe every word he says because the compassion for his creation is so genuine. I'm very happy there's a follow up to the F1, I'll surely never see, or drive one, but knowing such a car is out there, and a man like Gordon persists as an asset to the now, and the future of our dream cars, gives me hope, and a smile. GG sir! And thank you Harry, for asking all the right questions, once again, brilliantly attacking a subject with calm, and sincerity, while his smile gives away the internal childlike amazement so well restrained, my knees would be shaking as if I were playing the solo to Comfortably Numb with David Gilmour watching. Coolness in action.
Ladies and Gentlemen... Mr. GORDON MURRAY is back!
Please can everyone appreciate the style of those two gentlemen. No black suits with ties, no bulky sneakers or flashy logos. This is how people look who have visions & change the world. Like they just met in a small bar on the beach.
good point
Stunning. Just stunning! Never been this excited about a car I’ll never be able to afford!
Same.😂
If i could afford it i would never be able to sleep right. Imagine that in your driveway
DominiCrusho Never say never! You might not be able to afford it today but if you shift your Mindset towards what you desire. Anything is possible! I have been there in the limited mindset phase of my life. But once I shifted I can surely see myself buying this car in some years..
Not just random comment passing through, I would really like to help you..
I would suggest you to read Mindset by Carol dweck. I'm sure just a small shift in Mindset can help you become soo much more better not only interms of money but also with inner self 🙏🏽
Hoping for us to become fellow T50 owners 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Take care and DM me if you need any further help.
@dominocrusho btw I run a digital media company called Brewed Media

I suggest you to look at our intro video for understanding where I am coming from.
How are these not sold out? Particularly when you hear about how some tarted up variant of whatever sells out long before it's even announced.
Pure but raw engineering perfection. People like Gordon Murray are a credit to human race. On a different note, I’m not sure how many of the 100 owners of the T.50 will be as passionate as Gordon about the 30 litres of luggage space that Gordon has worked so hard to design into the car. Surely he won’t need me telling him that the stereotypical multimillion/billionaire customer that will be a GMA customer will choose to use another car from their fleet of 50 for their shopping trip to Harvey Nichols
I think I just fell in love with Gordon Murray's mind...
Yeah I could listen to him talk about cars all day! Plus I love the way he says Lamborghini 😂
Honestly, seeing Harry's enthusiasm as Gordon explains the thought process behind the key design decisions just made my day. Brilliant content as always mr. Metcalfe, thank you for sharing with us!
Gordon Murray. Harry Metcalfe and fifty minutes of pure enjoyment reviewing a master piece
Damn the T50 is FAN-ta-STICK.
PS
I love the guy who Gordon mentioned wanting the car and an engine for display.
It wouldn't surprise me if that was Rowan Atkinson, he is an engineer and would appreciate that.
@@Zadster Or Jay Leno, who happens to have a few spare engines laying around including the EB110 engine even though he doesn't have the car.
Zadster Maybe Atkinson is anticipating totaling another McLaren type car so is ordering the second engine in advance.
“I have no idea , I don’t care about numbers”
Seriously, I love Gordon Murray’s mentality.
Just brilliant, Murray is such a pure engineer and it’s wonderful to hear him talk about the details of his processes. British engineering at its absolute finest. Harry, once again leading the way for content. I think you have done a fantastic job of bringing us this chance to see the T50 development. Hopefully Murray will allow you an insider look at the final build! Great video. 👍
Two genuine heavyweights of the motor industry, I could watch this on a loop.
Everytime I read an interview or watch a video with Gordon Murray the way he conveys his knowledge just blows me away. Its like the most purist car porn a man could ever want! :)
I could listen to Gordon Murray talk cars and tech all day. Cheers MR Metcalfe that was excellent.
The F1 has been my favourite all time road car for the past 25 years...............now I have to reconsider. The good news is it's still a Gordon Murray car. What a great episode of Harry's Garage and the details explained by the man himself are nothing short of amazing.
Hi
