Design
editThe design of the GMA T.33 is claimed to be inspired by grand tourers of the 1960s,[1] such as the Ferrari Dino and Lamborghini Miura. Murray utilized a 2-seater coupé configuration for the T.33, with the body built entirely in carbon fibre and mounted on a carbon fibre-and-aluminium frame. The T.33 has a luggage capacity of 280 litres (74 US gal), divided between a front trunk and two compartments ahead of the rear wheels.[2]
The T.33 is powered by the same Cosworth V12 engine as the T.50, with 3.99 L (243 cu in) of displacement and four valves per cylinder. In the T.33, it is capable of 615 PS (452 kW) at 10,500 rpm and 451 N⋅m (333 lb⋅ft) of torque at 9,500 rpm.[3] Power is sent to the rear wheels via a standard 6-speed Xtrac manual transmission.[4]
Production
editGMA plans to build 100 customer cars at its Surrey production site. Each car costs 1.37 million GBP before local taxes.[5][6]
