Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) has already supplied a pattern of how the 3.9-liter Cosworth V-12 in its T.50 supercar sounds, however on Wednesday the corporate launched a video of the engine working a simulated lap of Le Mans’ Circuit de la Sarthe on the dynamometer. Spoiler alert: it sounds epic.

Within the video, GMA namesake Gordon Murray appears as happy with the engine word as he does of some other facet of the automotive. Murray attributes the dearth of compelled induction, and the ram-air consumption mounted proper behind the driving force’s head, to the automotive’s improbable high-pitched sound.

On the simulated Mulsanne Straight, the V-12 shrieks just like the engine of an early 2000s System One automotive. That is because of a 12,100 rpm redline, which the corporate claims is the best of any manufacturing automotive. GMA additionally claims its engine is the lightest V-12 in a manufacturing automotive, at 392 kilos.

Working with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, peak output is 654 horsepower and 344 pound-feet of torque. These numbers aren’t world-beating for a supercar lately, however remember the fact that the T.50 solely weighs 2,174 kilos, about 200 kilos lower than a Miata.

Murray additionally is not fascinated about chasing numbers. As an alternative of making an attempt to beat a top-speed file or Nürburgring lap time, he designed the T.50 to be the ultimate analog supercar. That is why the V-12 is coupled to a 6-speed guide transmission, which most opponents have deserted.

The T.50 will nearly actually be entertaining to drive. Throughout a current take a look at drive, Murray chirped the tires at just 3,000 rpm. At increased speeds, the T.50 makes use of trick aerodynamic aids, together with a fan impressed by Murray’s Brabham BT46B “Fan Automobile” F1 racer from 1978.

Solely 125 T.50 supercars can be constructed, together with 100 street automobiles and 25 T.50s Niki Lauda observe automobiles, which ditch the guide transmission however get extra energy and much more excessive aerodynamic components.
