GMA T.50

The GMA T.50, or Gordon Murray Automotive Type 50, is a remarkable creation by Gordon Murray, who also designed the iconic 1992 McLaren F1. This stunning vehicle is equipped with a cutting-edge 3,994 cc (4.0 L) naturally aspirated V12 engine, meticulously developed by Cosworth to deliver exceptional performance. The T.50 stands out not just for its design but also for its innovative engineering that pays homage to its predecessor while pushing the boundaries of automotive technology.

 

One of the standout features of the GMA T.50 is its impressive 8.5 kW aerodynamic fan, which measures 40 cm and is cleverly positioned at the rear of the vehicle. This fan is driven by a 48-volt electric motor and draws inspiration from the legendary Brabham BT46B Formula One car. Its primary purpose is to enhance the ground effect of the T.50 significantly. The car's design incorporates steeply angled rear diffusers, which can lead to turbulent or semi-stalled air flowing over the diffuser when the fan is not in operation. However, with the aerodynamic fan in action, the T.50 effectively pulls air underneath the car at a right angle, resulting in a remarkable boost in downforce. This process ensures a smooth, laminar airflow over the rear diffuser, thereby increasing the suction effect.

 

The GMA T.50 accelerates from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 2.8 seconds, showcasing its impressive speed capabilities. With a maximum speed of 226 mph (364 km/h), this car is designed for those who crave thrilling performance on the road.
