SPEED HUNTERS
GMA T50
Described by creator Gordon Murray as “the purest, lightest, most driver-focused supercar ever built”, the T50 is no less than the spiritual successor to his seminal McLaren F1. Just 100 examples of the ultra-light, mid-engined threeseater will be built and sold, at a price of around £2.8 million in the UK. The T50, so named because it’s the 50th car to be designed by Murray, weighs just 986kg, with a 650bhp naturally aspirated V12 from Cosworth that he claims gives a powerto-weight ratio equivalent to that of a ‘regular’ supercar with 950bhp under its wheels. And that’s not even the maddest part: it also uses an updated version of the downforce-boosting fan tech from Murray’s 1978 Brabham BT46B Formula 1 racer.
MERCEDES-AMG ONE
Hybrid hypercars are the order of the day, and Mercedes-AMG won’t miss out on the trend. Its £2 million One is undergoing final testing after almost four years of engineering frustration from its initial unveiling. It’s driven by a hybridised and turbocharged 1.6-litre V6 adapted from that of Mercedes-AMG’s championship-winning 2017 Formula 1 car, making 1000bhp and – hopefully – an ungodly noise.
