The GMA T.33 or Gordon Murray Automotive Type 33 is a sports car manufactured by Gordon Murray Automotive. Designed by Gordon Murray, the T.33 is the manufacturer's second model after the T.50 supercar.
Design
The 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
GMA plans to build 100 customer cars at its Surrey production site. Each car costs 1.37 million GBP before local taxes.[5][6]
