Gordon Murray’s T.33 Spider has the same 4.0-liter V-12 engine as the T.33 Coupe, which makes 607 ph. at 11,100 rpm. The roof panels resemble Targa and can be pulled out and put in the front trunk. At the time they are made, each of the 100 will cost $2.3 million. When Gordon Murray showed off the T.33 supercar last year, he said his company planned to make an open-top car. The most recent and popular one is the T.33 Spider. There will only be 100 of them, each costing $700,000. Don’t wait if you want to add one to your collection because we expect the whole run to sell out as soon as ordering starts. Even though it is not as crazy as the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 with its central seat, the T.33 is very different from almost every other supercar on the market. The mid-mounted, naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V-12 engine in the Spider, like the ones in the other GMA models, was made by Cosworth in the United Kingdom. Also, the T.33 Spider will only be available with a manual transmission that has six speeds. Murray told Car and Driver last year that he planned to sell an automatic version of the same communication, but he has since changed his mind because not many people wanted to get rid of the clutch pedal. Murray said to C/D as he showed them the new car at GMA’s Duns fold facility in Surrey, England, “That was an expensive mistake.” “The Extract rapid shift gave us the idea for the gearbox, and we even had a prototype Lotus Evora that worked.” It was expensive, but nobody wanted to buy it.” Murray said the rapid shift system could be added to the third car built on the T.33 platform, which will probably be a track-focused car. However, he confirmed that the T.33 Coupe and Spider will now only have manual transmissions. The Spider and Coupe have normal gearing or a longer-legged sixth ratio for quieter high-speed touring. They could relax and let that V-12 do its thing. Hatchback supercars that are easy to use Because GMA wants to use lightweight materials, the T.33 Spider doesn’t have a power-folding roof. Instead, it has two large panels that can be removed and put in the front luggage compartment. Even though the T.33’s rear flanks have two storage spaces open from the back and have a total of 6 cubic feet of space, it is impossible to carry more luggage there. By leaving the roof in place, four more cubic feet can be added up front, making good on Murray’s promise to combine a supercar’s performance with the hatchback’s practicality. Behind the passenger area, there is a power-operated glass screen that lets people hear more of the V-12’s audio output. The car you are looking at is a late-style model that needs to show what the final product will look like. Murray says the decision to move the windshield header forward by 4.3 inches has been made since the vehicle was built. He said, “Once we were sitting down, we thought that would be too close to your head.” Flexibility is an excellent trait of having your own vehicle business. Murray said that the Spider’s aerodynamics would be about the same as those of the T.33 Coupe. The GMA T.50 has a smoother aerodynamic mission than the T.33 because it has a ground effects system that uses fans to create a lot of downforces. It still has some sophisticated ground effects that help the underbody diffuser work better by pulling low-pressure air from the back of the car. Murray says that this will give a maximum of 331 pounds of downforce @ 150 mph, which is enough to make the car more stable at high speeds without having to use springs or dampers that are too strong. Both active dampers and a rear anti-roll bar are absent from the T.33 Spider, making it identical to the Coupe in this respect. The first thing to show up was the Spider. He said that we made the Spider first because it is much harder to remove a coupe’s roof. “The Spider achieved both of our goals for bending rigidity and torsion,” the designer said. The Coupe is stiffer, but that might be good. The Spider will also be used to test the T.33, so the US government will let it be sold there. Murray says that these tests will cost $34 million and cause the loss of more than 30 crash-test mules. The commitment is significant for a small company like GMA, but the high demand from American consumers has made it worth it. Murray says fifty of the hundred T.33 Coupes will be sent to the United States. Even though the T.33 was made to avoid the complicated looks and aggressive aerodynamics of modern supercars, it has several exciting features. Murray says one of them is how the exterior cooler comes into the interior through a panel between the seats. This was a feature of the C1 Corvette that Murray liked. Another example is the high-level air intake for the engine. It goes through an opening in the bodywork with space on all sides. It moves with the engine because it is mounted right on top of it. Murray quips, “Like a shaker hood.” Murray’s love of bright Hawaiian shirts gave us another idea for a possible color scheme, which we can only imagine for now. We hope it sells. The GMA T.33 Spider, which costs $2.35 million, should be ready by the middle of 2025.
