Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) will debut its new “Special Vehicles” division at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, on August 15, unveiling two bespoke supercars as part of its Monterey Car Week showcase.
The new branch, officially titled Gordon Murray Special Vehicles, is described by the company as “where engineering art meets beauty,” signaling a focus on highly exclusive, design-driven projects. While GMA has not confirmed specifics, industry speculation suggests that one of the debut cars will be a reimagined version of the company’s acclaimed T.50 supercar.

Introduced in 2020, the T.50 quickly gained notoriety for its lightweight engineering, naturally aspirated V12 engine, and distinctive rear-mounted 40 mm fan designed to enhance aerodynamic performance. The rumored Special Vehicles variant is said to forgo that signature fan, adopting a revised aero package that would alter the car’s appearance and handling characteristics.

Such a change could mark a departure from the radical fan-assisted downforce system Gordon Murray popularized, offering instead a more conventional aerodynamic profile while retaining the T.50’s purist driving ethos. This approach may appeal to collectors and drivers seeking the performance and engineering of the T.50 in a slightly more understated configuration.
GMA has positioned the Special Vehicles division as a platform for limited-run, highly customized models — cars likely aimed at clients who value rarity and artistic design as much as speed. The second car set for reveal remains under wraps, though both are expected to embody the lightweight, driver-focused philosophy that has defined Murray’s career.
Monterey Car Week has become a global stage for manufacturers to debut their most exclusive creations, and GMA’s move signals its intention to compete directly in that ultra-premium space.
