Gordon Murray T.50s Niki Lauda singing at 12,000 rpm: Current best sounding V12 track-only hypercar?

- Now that this year's edition of the Festival of Speed has come to an end, it's time to share with you some videos entirely dedicated to some of the cars I recorded. And I can't help but start with the one that surprised me the most in terms of sound: the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50s 'Niki Lauda'.
The car is the track-only version of the T.50, which has been engineered to be the purest supercar ever by ex-Formula 1 designer and engineer Gordon Murray (the man who also designed the McLaren F1), celebrating his 50th anniversary of engineering and design.
The road-legal T.50 has a naturally aspirated V12 engine this time developed by Cosworth (a 3,994 cc V12 called Cosworth GMA) which is able to produce 663 bhp at 11,500 rpm. It's linked to a 6-speed H-pattern manual gearbox. Redline is set at 12,100 rpm. The total weight of the T.50 in running order is just 986 kg.
The T.50s 'Niki Lauda' is powewred by a redesigned version of the 3.9L Cosworth which has also been tuned to produce 770 hp at 11,500 rpm and it weight 12kg less than the one you can find on the road-going T.50. The engine is linked to a bespoke Xtrac six-speed sequential gearbox (with paddle shifters). Lot of work has of course been done to the aero package, suspensions and set-up side.
The thing that most catches the eye is certainly the huge fan positioned at the rear and which of course references to the famous Murray-designed Brabham BT46B "Fan Car" Formula 1 car of the 1970s. Though the basic concepts are similar, the T.50's fan shares little with the BT46B one: electronically controlled and able to spin to 7000 rpm, it can increase downforce by 50 percent in its most aggressive setting, sucking air through ducts in the underfloor diffuser. This function is actually closer to what can be found on the McLaren F1. In fact that supercar had two small fans that acted on a small area of its rear diffuser.
The road-legal T.50 essentially takes that concept and supersizes it. The fan can also be used to create a fill of air in the trailing wake, generating a sort of virtual long tail, reducing drag by 12.5 percent and increasing lift, which results in better efficiency and a higher top speed. All of this is done without a traditional wing or splitter. The T.50s keeps the 400mm fan but instead it only runs in a single 'High Downforce' mode.
Listen to that amazing engine singing up to Goodwood's hillclimb course!

The silhouette clearly shows that Gordon Murray had perfected the ideal 'hypercar' as a concept 30 years earlier as the McLaren F1.
The engine that resonates so well and turns so well that it shocks the heart, and the fan car system. A car worthy of the nickname 'Niki Lauda'.
Not sure I agree about the silhouette. I wouldn't call either this or the F1 attractive. But that engine...holy mother of god. The road car T50 sounds quite polite to my ears, not very raw at all; it almost sounds like a siren in the way it slowly builds. This is absolutely savage and completely different.
@@thesprawl2361 12 throttle bodies, no emissions or noise norms. No sound deadening
It doesn't show anything. This car was just styled to look similar to F1. Some peoples reasoning skills blow my mind...
@@MuppetsSh0wno it was not
this is the mclaren f1 mk2, also made by mr murray
@@cyberdemon6517 Meaning it was styled after F1 lol not because this is some objectively perfect shape for a hypercar...
This goes right up there with the best sounding cars ever, not just the current ones.
I’d argue it’s the best sounding v12 I’ve ever heard
@@Felixbotero same
Agreed. Better than any Ferrari
@@gvoskin i'd say it's comparable with the ferrari fxx evo.. it has an edge as it revs higher and has a slightly higher pitch but the fxx has better sounding downshifts
czcams.com/video/NJbYA47qkSU/video.html
The way that thing moved yeah is special
You from the UK?
Wow!!! Looks and sounds INCREDIBLE.... I'm sure the performance is out of this world. Thank you GM/Cosworth team for keeping the V12 alive!!! Meanwhile, our F1 cars sound like a cheap vacuum sweeper...
more like Hippos Farting underwater
I love that it looks like an F1.
Exactly because it designed by the same person who designed mclaren f1 back then
It's its true spiritual successor.
Well of course both are done by Gordon Murray and he basically wanted to improve the F1 on everything he couldn't do last time.
It sounds like a swarm of angry bees and a big brass band mixed together... in a motorsport cauldron of witchcraft!!!
The Niki Lauda screamed in person, it was so much louder than pretty much anything else that wasn't a crazy racecar like the Williams V10 F1 car.
192hp per litre at 770hp will do that for sure
Sounds way better than the road-legal one!
X pipe exhaust gives it it that much better high pitched scream. Without X pipe it sounds like a trumpet :(
@@jortepap You're 100% on the money :D
Totally agreed. I love the T.50 but always found the sound underwhelming
Could barely hear the road legal one at full chat over this version just idling behind it lol
yeah the road legal one kinda sucks actually. more annoying than good sounding
Words cannot describe how beautiful is that sound
For long my favorite sounding car was the huayra R but since the fos it is now this machine.
Huayra R still has a better howl imo.
@@jortepapur right the huayra howls better but this screama better
Very close. This would be 2nd for me, the Huayra R is just something else.
The Niki Lauda version is WAY better looking than the street-legal version.
It is lauda too
The road version is not that great looking TBH, The track one is how the road version should have looked.
@@uv77mc85 They both look a bit shit to be honest...
@@uv77mc85 disagree
@@daviiaco are you german? ;)
There's cars, then there's this car. This has no equal. Speechless.
Gordon Murray never disappoints
Okay: this is it. This is the most extraordinary sounding road car ever made. It's made my mind up for me.
T.50 and T.50s will go down in history as two of the all time greats
GMA has the Midas touch.
More of a screamer than a singer. Love it!
Holy guacamole that sounds good doesn't it ?
Thats all 12000 rpm for ya
And just like this, Gordon Murray kicked the ass out of Ferrari with their triple X's special editions! Ferrari V12 just isn't LOUD ENOUGH!
Go to sleep boy you can't compare a small company with the cup holder of V12s .
Respect the daddie
@@valastheman5128 you _sound_ like a butt-hurt victim.
@@valastheman5128 Cosworth made Ferraris V12s obsolete for 20 years from the 60s to the 80s. Cosworth were THE only engine to have until the Turbos started dominating. And then there are the BD 4 cylinder engines which dominated rallying from the 60s to the final version in the RS200 in 86. These engines were making 200hp naturally aspirated in 1970 rising to 750 hp when turbo charged in the RS200evo. And then there was the YB series which the sierra and escort cosworths had. These were all mass produced (relatively) cheap engines that were far beyond anything else of their times. BD still dominate historic RWD rallying.
I bet that sounds so much better in person.
Dario Franchitti gets to drive the coolest shiz
cause he wont crash it.
When I began watching, I did not know Dario was the pilot!!! He s a cool dude!
That thing sounds Evil!!!
Engineers of racecars don't care what it sounds like - but roadcar ones do.
Not true with the Cadillac LMDh, they specifically engineered the sound and I’m sure an untold number of others were built at least with a modicum of attention given to the sonic qualities of the engine and exhaust
The rear end looks a whole lot better than on the road T.50
Yea, the wing absolutely suits it. Looks more cohesive this way. And I’m typically anti-wing
imagine if they have a long tail version just like the mclaren f1
@@lazrhawk IMO it's less about the wing and more about the different rear body panels. The road car looks tall and heavy-set at the back, which jars with all the low, flowing curves of the rest of it. The S wraps around the fan and taillights in a way that's much better tied together with the rest of the design.
@@SmallBlogV8The Tail Lights are mounted very high on the road car which lifts the rear shoulders up by several inches. This was actually done to give more boot space for the side trunks I think, but the T50s lights are more perfectly placed
@@RyanTang-sl2rj But it IS a long tail.... that's what the fan is for! The extra aerodynamics/downforce produced by the fan give the same effect like a long tail body would. It cleans up the turbulence that would otherwise be there.
That might be the best sounding car I’ve ever heard🤯🤤
Sounds 1000% better than today's f1 SHIT
man, it's been 10 years since F1 went v6 and people are still salty about it? I mean i miss the V10 and V8's just as much as the other guy, even nowadays a lot of cars sound better than them, but 10 years of the same ol sentence is getting a little old, isn't it?

@@paburrito Nope. Shit stays shit.
@@paburritoexactly. Can't watch a single F1 video without a million people making that same, tired vacuum cleaner joke. 🙄
@@NotKimiRaikkonen it just shows how childish some people are, unwilling to move on and just go back to the same old comment, it’s just tiring
Think of showing up to a local trackday with that thing.
🙏
Best sound for legal and track cars. This man is the king.
This was the show-stealer. Nothing else at Goodwood (that I’ve seen) came close in terms of the pure energy and aggression of this thing. Everything from the styling to the engine noise to the performance is totally uncompromising. I just hope that in the years to come, we will be able to see these things being driven hard on tracks and circuits etc.
cosworth are the best engine manufacturer of all time
*Second best, after Ferrari
Fezza aint doing no V16 pal
@@yousausage this is a V12, which they do very well
@@nbain66 new Bugatti is powered by an 8 litre NA V16 from cossy. It smashes any Ferrari engine.
@@yousausage who said anything about Bugatti? This is Cosworth vs Ferrari
Thanks Gordon i'm sure Niki would have loved to make her scream!
Those frackles when he goes off the gas
That sound is perfection. Perfection.
More McLaren than the whole current McLaren lineup) thanks for the footage, incredible as always !
Fantastic sound!
The noise, the flames 🔥 😍
Thank you for this video! ❤ It sounds mental!
Sounds godly. Also looks VERY fast
And this is on rain tires
Glorious. Absolutely glorious!
It's faster in the wet then most super cars in dry.. sounds incredible
that fast sequential straight cut gear shifts sound a lot better than manual shift
I believe it is a double clutch not a sequential gearbox
@parpaing_1 It's an Xtrac, so definitely not a dual clutch. Dual clutches don't shift brutally
@@apancher oh my bad
@@apancher What is an Xtrac?
dual clutch do shift fast, but not as instant as straight cut sequential racing gearbox, they literally have explosive up shift @@parpaing_1
As always, thankyou bozzy!
YES!
Brings back memories of F1 in the 90's..... back when it was good.
If aliens landed at that track got out of their space craft and heard this v12 they would immediately retreat
Greetings from Colorado! Thanks for the wonderful show of all the hard work. Well done. Audio and video as always.
Ridiculously marvellous vehicle
A moment of silence for the ones covering their ears 💀
Look at the smiles of those guy listening to that engine screaming 😂😂😂
*Slow clap rising to crescendo*
Well, looks worthy of the Lauda name... just badass...
Epic sound! Thanks Bozz!
What a machine! - J. Clarkson
That’s something special
The Best Car on the planet!
Looks so good with the window strips gone.
Eu simplesmente sou alucinado nos carros da GMA ❤
That thing was wailing down the road like a fucking banshee. Beautiful
Beautiful thing.
Awesome car.
Absolutely mad! Sounds like it's powered by the same Liquid Beelzebub as the Mazda 787 😈🏁
No it don’t 😂
Beautiful!
Holy moly. 👀🍿
That sound is undeniable
Goosebumps!!..
What a glorious sound!
thanks bozzy, great content as usual
Truly magnificent!
What a car
Thats a special car
Now thats a real car in the last decade
This is what Fiesta owners with a 'pops and bangs' map *THINK* their car sounds like!
Yeah, and the difference - this isn't synthetic. If it pops and bangs, it's the outcome of something deliberate & purposeful, not for show.
/end technical analysis
@@JamesGadbury I agree brother
Instant classic
Thank God for binaural audio. As ever, Bozzy's the best.
Glorious!!!!!
Wow!👂😃
Modern day McLaren F1 🔥
Holy shhhiiit that sounds good.
One word and only. COSWORTH.
Unbelievable!
the T50s is 1000x better than all the productions of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, Porsche and McLaren combined, it is the lightest and the most beastly made by a real engineer who won everything in the person of Gordon Murray. thank you for reviving the myth of the Mclaren F1.💯💯🔥🔥
Awesome ❤️
Would love to this set a nurburg ring lap time
That thing screams!
If only Nikki Lauda still alive to witness this car tho, i would really wanna see his reaction and opinion on it
my god what a sound!!!!!!
Thanks Gordon Murray and crew, for keeping the dreams of a dying (?) breed of dinosaur alive ❤
I need to hear the Huayra R and T.50s side by side, over and over again....and guarantee I still wouldn't be able to choose.
The perfect hypercar. F1 style body modernized, straight cut gear F1 type engine, aero, middle seat.... Omg I need a really rich sugar daddy 😂
Naturally Aspirated, so responsive and alive.
That thing is NASTY!!!
Say what you want about turbos filling in torque and electrification. You'll never convince me that there is anything better than a high revving NA engine
What a sound!! Imagine that on the road 😂
GMA DOES NOT MISS!
Money can’t buy happiness my ass.
That is a great sounding machine
My favourite sounding car just got bumped to the number 2 spot.
Wow 🙌 Is there a race or championship where we can see this beast perform its art?
That's fuckin insane
ANGRY BEES BABY!! 😎😎😎😎😎
Lauda: I was hoping it would wind to 20k
