Gordon Murray Automotive is giving the T.33 a serious makeover. Next summer, the company will roll out the T.33S, a sharper, track-ready version of its acclaimed supercar. If you thought the original was impressive, this one promises to raise the stakes. The man himself, Gordon Murray, spilled the details in a recent Autocar interview. He called the T.33S "tougher and more focused." That means better suspension, smarter aerodynamics, and more downforce than ever. For reference, the current T.33 already manages 330 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. The S will take that number even further. Lighter, Faster, and More Track-OrientedThe GMA T.33S is sticking to the same lightweight carbon-aluminum chassis as the standard model. That’s a good thing—it only weighs 2,403 pounds. There’s even talk that the S might trim that down a little more, though nothing’s confirmed yet. Under the hood, it’s powered by the same Cosworth-designed 3.9-litre V-12. But this isn’t just a copy-paste job. Gordon Murray hinted it’ll rev higher than the standard’s 11,100 rpm, which is already a jaw-dropper. So, expect it to feel quicker, punchier, and even more alive on the road. Now, about its personality. This isn’t a hardcore track car like the T.50S Niki Lauda. It’s more of a road car with some extra track-day chops. Think tighter suspension, a sleeker aero package, and more downforce than the regular T.33’s 330 pounds at 150 mph. Ultra-Rare and Ready to StunIf you thought the standard T.33 was exclusive, the T.33S takes it to another level. Only 25 of these will be built, making it one of the rarest supercars on the planet. And yes, it’s going to cost a fortune. While the T.33 coupe and Spider are priced at $1.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, the T.33S is expected to soar past $3 million. Few will own it, but that’s exactly the appeal. The big reveal is set for next summer. Gordon Murray hasn’t dropped an exact date, but Goodwood Festival of Speed seems like the obvious choice. It’s where GMA has debuted its other creations, so don’t be surprised to see the T.33S roaring up the hill this July. Getting one in your garage? That might take patience. Production of the T.33 won’t start until all 100 T.50s are delivered. Murray mentioned they’ve cleared about 40 of those so far, so it’ll be a while before the T.33S is ready to hit the road—or the track. And what’s next for GMA? Once the T.33 lineup is complete—coupé, Spider, and S—they’ll move on to an all-new model in 2028. Murray says the design is already done, but for now, the spotlight belongs to the T.33S. What’s Next for Gordon Murray?Gordon Murray is already looking ahead to what comes after the T.33S. And no, it won’t be another tweak of an existing model. The next car will be built on an entirely new platform, with a fresh design and purpose. “It’s a car I’ve always wanted to do,” he said. Production will stick to the GMA playbook, limited to just 100 units, keeping it as exclusive as the T.50 and T.33. Murray didn’t spill all the details but dropped a few hints. He described it as “completely different” from anything the company has done before and confidently added that it could be “the best driver’s car in its segment.” What that segment is, though? That’s anyone’s guess. For GMA, it’s not about lap times or flashy power figures. “Driving perfection” is the priority, Murray said. Powertrains are no exception to this philosophy. While the V-12 remains GMA’s crown jewel, Murray is realistic about the future. The company is exploring ways to electrify the Cosworth engine, but any hybrid system will be minimal, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with the car’s core driving principles.Interestingly, GMA has already mapped out its product and platform strategy through to 2038. While regulations and timelines might shift, Murray insists the core vision won’t. Source: Autocar
