2022 Gordon Murray T.50S Niki Lauda (Limited Edition 1 of 25)

The Niki Lauda's finalized technical specifications have changed slightly since we first told you about the car, and they are set to make it one of the most extreme vehicles on the planet. GMA says it is on track to weigh just 1878 pounds—more than 200 pounds lighter than its roadgoing sibling revealed last summer, the T.50. Power will come from an even more highly tuned version of the T.50's naturally aspirated 3.9-liter V-12, making 725 horsepower and revving to a dizzying 12,100 rpm. Those figures mean that, as Murray puts it, this has got "the same power-to-weight ratio as the car that came second at Le Mans last year." "T.50S was always a working title. We needed something to put on the drawings as much as anything else," Murray explained us during a virtual walkaround of the new car. "But after Niki passed I suddenly realized it was a perfect tribute: a racing car with a fan on the back. Niki was a great friend, not just somebody who drove for me—and his family agreed it was a fantastic idea to commemorate the win in Sweden."

A six-speed paddle-operated transmission created by X-Trac will be standard. Murray says a manual gearbox would have distracted from the experience rather than added to it. "The engine picks up speed even quicker than the road car, it's got less inertia, and the gearbox ratios are closer because the top speed is lower. So the gearchanges are going to be coming so quickly that I honestly don't think you'd want to be letting go of the wheel to find an H-pattern gear slot as often as you would have to." Early hopes that the Niki Lauda would compete in the FIA's proposed hypercar class haven't come to pass. "They ended up proposing a sort of silhouette formula with a basic LMP2 chassis underneath, which wasn't for us," Murray says. However, there are hopes that Niki Lauda buyers will ultimately be able to take their cars racing through what is being called the GT1 Sports Club. "Initially you'd be invited to some of the GT championships, with the chance to watch the race but then stay on for a couple of days and drive it," Murray says. "If that's successful then [founder Stéphane Ratal] is talking about creating a Pro-Am series that would be a backup to the GT championship."
