Rare GMA T.50 Supercar With Only 62 Miles Up for Auction
A 2024 GMA T.50 supercar, chassis 047, featuring a lightweight design and a 654-horsepower V12 engine, is being auctioned by RM Sotheby's with just 62 miles on the odometer. Originally priced at £2.36 million, it is expected to fetch between £4.2 million and £4.6 million in the upcoming sale.
Overview of the GMA T.50
The GMA T.50, unveiled by Gordon Murray Automotive in 2020, is a lightweight supercar designed by the iconic creator of the McLaren F1. Production began in 2023, and all 100 units were pre-sold, leading to long waits for buyers eager to experience this remarkable vehicle.
Auction Details
The specific model up for auction, chassis 047, is a 2024 version finished in Harrier paint with a luxurious Luffield Tan leather and Charcoal Alcantara interior. Despite being newly delivered, it has only accumulated 62 miles, making it an exceptional find for collectors who missed the initial ordering phase. RM Sotheby's is handling the auction, where the T.50 is projected to sell for between £4.2 million and £4.6 million (approximately $5.6 to $6.1 million).
Engine and Performance Features
This supercar features a Cosworth-developed 3.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering 654 horsepower and capable of reaching 12,100 rpm. It is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, exclusively driving the rear wheels. Weighing just 2,173 pounds (986 kg), the T.50's design also includes an innovative active aerodynamic system featuring a large 400-mm fan at the rear, enhancing performance without the need for large wings.
Unique Specifications
Chassis 047 is EU-spec and has never been registered, spending its life in a climate-controlled environment in the UK. The bodywork is covered in satin paint-protection film, preserving its condition. Notably, it has been imported into the United States under the Show or Display exemption, allowing it to be driven on public roads up to 2,500 miles annually.
The irony of its minimal mileage contrasts with its design intent, which emphasizes driving engagement. Future owners are encouraged to embrace the driving experience the T.50 was crafted for.
