Perfectionist. But maintenance is gonna be hell. Gordon doesnt believe in simplicity. Ahh his f1. That was and is mechanical perfection. Not to badd to work on but expensive components. The gold leaf in the engine compartment for heat was an indicator of Gordon's OCD. Just coat the exhausts. Lol
@@carlosoruna7174 He literally said they tried to make it as low maintenance as possible (for the level of car that it is). Even comes with fairly standard Michelin PS4S tires
@@carlosoruna7174 plus, when you can pay 1.5 mil for a car, you can easly drive your ferraris, lambos, mclarens for a couple days for t33 to be fixed. Just stop being poor i guess :D
Honestly, the thing that impresses me most about Gordon Murray's cars is the consideration given to usability. So many supercars are so stingy with luggage space that you'd struggle to take them away for a weekend break.
Always love watching a Catchpole piece. Yourself and Harris are by far my favourite automotive journalists. This has to be the best Gordon Murray interview I’ve seen by far. He seems to enjoy telling you about his creation as if you’re a friend he hasn’t seen in years whereas everyone else he speaks to it’s like he’s irritated by something they’ve said or like he needs to take a leak but the person won’t shut up.
Second best, Harry's garage is always the most natural, and they are like old school petrolhead friends who talk in a relaxed natural way..but this is also really good one :)
I agree, so releaxed and great chemistry between Henry and Gordon. Like good old friends, that says a lot about the respect Godon has for Henry. And ofcourse Henry really hangs by every word Gordon tells him about his newborn baby. I just came from Harry´s interview of Gorden, clearly old friends. Harry even got listed for a test, as he always does. Great job Henry!
Jonny and Harry are both also great and I'm glad to watch all three. Here's to as much car content as possible on UA-cam. I only wish Chris Harris put out as much as he used to.
Henry is, without question, my favorite automotive journalist and the only automotive journalist I can or even want to listen to for 40+ minutes. He describes cars with an enviable elegance and a quiet, thoughtful passion, which is much appreciated.
100% agree. His writing and delivery style is on another level. Pairing him with the greatest automotive engineer to have ever lived is just a special honor.
@@doctornrsfnly Harry is a very articulate and charming individual., with a very relaxed and soothing manner. But there is a whiff of "old fart" about him. He's only 3 years younger than me.
Incredible engine. Goes to show how far engine development has progressed. The specs on this motor are that of a 90's F1 V12 but with the driveability and longevity of a production engine.
@@gumpy4960 tell me you’re not engineer without telling me you’re not an engineer. I can assure you, it passed durability tests to validate it for road use.
@@superfast30 doesn’t mean it will be reliable over lots of miles. There have been many fantastic performance engines that have turned out to not be the most reliable.
That V12 is a work of art. So glad Gordon trusted them with this. Curious to find out how that instantaneous gear changing system performs. Could kill the DCT!
It's an ingenious solution used in F1 cars to get clutchless seamless shifts. I read about Xtrac IGS and it's been around since 2010. But I still can't understand it, or how wicked was the genius of the engineers to even come up with that mechanism. It's black magic.
The first glimpse I've seen. I love the professional manner the interview took place. No loud voices booming for your attention just a great conversational piece. Loved every second!! Thanks Henry and Carfection🙂
When you see that the video length is 41 minutes, you just know this is going to be an interesting and engaging walk through. I’m not really a details or spec nerd, but when Gordon starts talking about measurements and ratios etc, you can’t help but be drawn into what he’s saying. The guy clearly knows not only how to build a car, but why it looks and drives the way it does. He could design a toaster and I’d happily listen to him talk us through the design of it because it would probably be the best designed toaster ever made :-)
He’s so right in saying manufactures are just making more cars more outrageous. I personally think he’s mastered the art of a modern supercar. Another manufacturer I’d like to mention is Maserati, there MC20 is the next best thing after this in my eyes, just pure beauty.
It’s so refreshing to see something so elegant, timeless, classic yet still so innovative! Design which talks to my heart and speaks loud for its functionality. It’s simply beautiful!!!
The paddle shifter option was like.... meh... but then he explained it 🤯 when you wanna go from 2nd to 3rd... it's in BOTH gears already, it just let's go of 2nd. Instant gear change ⚙️ The engineering masterpiece for a mere 3 cars ordered that way so far. Wow 👌
Henry, I drank a great glass of wine, while I enjoyed your talk with the professor. Like having hot chocolate poured into my ear. As always great work, you two seem so relaxed, Gordon clearly enjoys talking to you. Be proud, I have seen th other interviews Gordon did and it i clearly he didn´t have that relationship with the other interviews.
What impress me most about Mr. Murray is how incredibly humble the guy is. Obviously, he is a great car designer, but the way he was talking about the mistakes he'd made during the design process many times during the interview. It takes a great man to admit to his mistakes. There is absolutely no reasons for him to mention them. Respect.
brilliant interview, love some of the technical details of the new car, around 30:12 when the Professor is talking about anti roll and says 'look at the basic physics' i knew i wouldn't have a clue what he is talking about ! . i didn't realise he was in his 70's either, a true automotive genius and a delight to listen .well done henry great stuff !
40 minutes went by like nothing. I can listen to Gordon all day. Listening to his knowledge, design philosophy, openness about the process and his and the team’s learnings is really refreshing. Top quality material from Henry and Carfection as always!
You clearly see the 60s design cues. But when you hit the right angle and see an 06 Ford GT or a Carrera GT, or a Lotus, then nostalgia hits differently. Mechanically, the car is a masterpiece as it always would be. But the best thing is that Gordon is worth listening to over a fireplace all night
Gordon is a legend. I'm totally sold...just have to sort out a minor detail and rob my entire village. I wish GMA started a higher-volume single model sports car based on the same philosophy. This thing is so elegant in every detail and it just has barely a dozen buttons in it. That's the kind of car I strive to build every time I start a project. Bring it back to its essence. I was blown away at the torque curve...Looking forward to seeing every little detail up close on the T50 and this in terms of suspension and aerodynamics, mounting, hinges...every little thing.
What's stopping him from doing this is his perfectionist outlook. He always wants the best materials possible for his cars, so R&D will never be cheap, which will inevitably raise the price. Not only that, going into mass production means the introduction of quality control issues, which I'm sure the man is extremely adamant about minimizing as much as possible, if not eliminating it completely.
An excellent interview, loving Carfection! Re. the T.33, I will never be able to afford one but I do think the whole "we're letting the T.50 customers have first dibs" is a bit unfair. No one needs a T.50 and a T.33, and I'm sure some of the T.50S are going to T.50 owners also, so when Gordon talks about wanting his cars to be driven surely offering them to non T.50 owners makes more sense than having individuals own all three?
Love everything about the T.33, from the enginering ethos and how its driver focused to the uncluttered design. 👌 A shame so few will experience them. 😔
I know almost nothing about cars but I find myself watching every video uploaded on here. From the outstanding cinematography to Henry’s engaging mellifluous commentary, it’s easy to become addicted to these videos. And it’s FREE! So grateful for the hard work you all put in. Keep it up.
What a great interview. You can tell Gordon just loves going deep on the engineering side as well as the design. The bit about the rear sway bar is really interesting. Well done Henry.
@Richard Harrold regardless of the dispute between who had a greater % of the input for the final output of the MP4/4, Nichols (who is obviously quite talented with a long list of other accomplishments in addition to the MP4/4) was not involved in any of the cars Murray designed at Brabham, many of which were themselves quite innovative, nor was he involved in the McLaren F1 roadcar program, which was entirely Murray's brainchild and to this day considered one of the greatest cars ever built. Murray's other innovations as a freelance engineer/designer as well (e.g. iStream and the consulting for the rebirth of TVR) also stand on their own merit. You can choose sides between two men who were both involved in an incredibly successful project, but that doesn't negate the separate work that Murray has done that more than stand on their own merit.
This car shape (kind of a miniature corvette c6) it has just remind me of Gordon Murray it's own concept study from 2015 : ''Yamaha Sport Ride'' the main difference is that would have a lower roof-scoop, motorcycle engine and brakes this will have a proper crazy NA -F1 sound engine and carbon ceramic brakes, both very cool ideas & god i wish they build more of them..
Carfection, you must cover Gordon's T25 city car and his Ox Truck in 2 future videos. Both are magnificent engineering. And yes, a whole video on Istream!
It’s passion projects like these which makes you fall in love with automobiles. Listening to Sir Gordon and Henry talk was like the ASMR I didn’t know I needed.
The more I see of it, the more I'm starting to find it absolutely gorgeous. The T50 is an extreme thing. This is gorgeous, the romantic dream of touring around Europe and doing some of the great driving roads in this is an incredible fantasy, more so than any other car I can think of right now. I can see 904 in there and Miura from the front. I think as a modern take on those cars it really nails it. The interior looks amazing, the gear shift, the engine is going to be out of this world. I'm pretty sure I'd take this over a T50 given the choice. I can't remember the last time a modern supercar has inspired so much school boy want in me! Probably have to go back to the F40 or something like that.
An extreme joy to watch. One of my favourite channels without a doubt but to show my engineering hero, what a video. All I can say is thank you to Carfection and to Murray and his team. The Mclaren F1 has always been my number one and that is because of Gordan's ethos. Here's to the future of GMA and hope that I can work as an engineer on a team like this
OH MY GOODNESS :D. This is simply beautiful 😍. From the front, it kinda reminds me of a Ferrari 458 :). I've got like 4 or 5 subscribed videos now that have this car, but I went here first ;)
@@Plasticjesus504 boxsters are all turbo and/or expensive. All I want from a car is lightweight and driver engagement as the priority. Porsches are apl too soft and luxurious and bloated. And the GT cars are too expensive. Also central driving position needs to make its way to normal cars. I think most people that buy a 4/5 seat car only ever use 3 seats anyway so we could have less crossovers and more sports cars ln the road. Which we can all enjoy
@@CockatooDude central driving position and rhe design ethos of GMA. But yea I'm going to build a caterham in the meantime when I've got the garage space
@@chrisogrady28 Ayy good shit. I guess if you get crafty enough you could get your Caterham to have a central driving position, although it might be more trouble than it's worth.
Stunning so clean and beautiful. Another hypercar Price wise more then I anticipated. If I could afford either the T50 or the T33. I would get this car I want both but if I have to choose one. It's almost everything the T50 is both beautiful cars.
Woke up, ate breakfast, watched another exemplary automotive short film, the background music sets the tone beautifully. So far the best T33 review out there. It would be interesting to see the team and the process in making of these, with Henry doing the presentation of course.
Brilliant interview, watched quite a few of these today from Harry and Johnny as well . Looks like they were all done on the same day , what a legend Gordon Murray is 75 years old and able to talk all day remain interesting and captivating to all.
Love the work, love the video, and love the cars. I have to say, however, that the unparalleled respect I had for Gordon has dissappeared between the launches. Any engineer/designer deserves to be credited with their accomplishments and Gordon lying through his teeth about the McLaren MP4/4 was incredibly heartbraking to find out. Sourcing all of his early funding off of that false recognition has clouded his own achievements in a way I just can't fully look past...
It's people like Gordon Murrary and Steve Jobs whose attention to detail and passion for the small things is so great, they end up giving us incredible products
If I'm honest, I find the styling very derivative and unoriginal (the nose is very reminiscent of Jaguar C-X75) , but there is no doubting the brilliant engineering. Look froward to seeing how it performs on the road. Full marks to Carfection for being quick off the mark in bringing us the news on T.33.
Yeah, very true. I am assuming your paying for the driving experience, because it looks like the most generic car I have ever seen. 1.3 million pounds ok..
So great to see these interviews with Gordon Murray. The previous interviews with Horacio Pagani and Christian von Koenigsegg. Their passion and drive to bring their ideas to life. Can only imagine having the same access to Enzo Ferrari, Colin Chapman, Ferdinand Porsche, etc.
Gordon Murray is the Jesus Christ for petrolheads in the wake of highly controversial push for battery powered electric cars, eco-centric economy that has little to do with climate preservation.
I feel the same way about this car as I do about all of Koenigsegg’s cars… I wish this level of engineering would go into something that had a 6-cylinder or maybe even a 4-cylinder.
@@Berenvacht so, in a way - yes. In another way, it uses an AMG 4-cylinder or a Toyota V6. If Lotus took those engines and re-worked them to have 9,000RPM redlines or something like that, then yes. For sure.
I could listen to Gordon talk about stuff all day. Very wise, has a sense of humor about himself and his art, and has a clear vision about what he wants and the purpose of it. It's refreshing.
I know this is sacrilege, but stylistically (as opposed to performance) I always found the F1 a bit bland. I get the same vibe from this. It looks to me like the sort of design these small, one man band, supercars that come along from time to time and promise much but deliver little. I'm sure this will deliver A LOT, but the looks are very generic and uninspired (no doubt a whizz in the wind tunnel though)
this isn't sacrilege, don't worry, you are allowed to have an opinion. But i may tell you man, i didn't have any feeling in particular for certain cars until i saw them in person. There are certain designs that arent that much angular and photography wise, they don't show its design qualities. In person you may few completely different. All of those designer language jargon about proportions, they aren't exactly bollocks. I was getting the same vibe until they shot the bonnet at 11:00. That shot shows a little more of its minimalistic and elegant lines, i suspect this may be the among the best car designs ever made. It really gives this 60's racers vibe but its a matter of taste.
@@ListingViews For me it's not that they aren't good looking, it's that they just look "Generic". I know Gordon is (rightly) world renown and admired, but these just lack a bit of pizzazz. Maybe I just want more rockets and spiked wheels on my multi million pound cars!
Yeah, it really is not that good looking lol. I know that is subjective, but its neither curvy or aggressive. It is forgettable. The components and driving experience must be other worldly but hopefully the driving expierience is worth the 1.3 million dollars.
Amen to that. When they teased the release, I said I hope it’s not gonna be akin to a lotus styling and sure enough in my mind it doesn’t seem like an amazing design, take a pagani or pininfarina’s new car and they look like a well thought out complete design
not really as there is nothing like it...it comes from a designer of, many agree, the best car ever made(F1), it is limited to 100 units only, and the value will only go up with years to come
@@Carfection True, but to use a comparison that Henry used in the Mustang video not too long ago, there are plenty of cars with much more power than this for the same or less money. You could buy a Veyron, P1, 918 or a Senna for this price.
@@Carfection Now that we know GMA will always make only 100 of each, well, I hope the super tiny T25 or some derivative of it makes production. You guys should cover that prototype and the Ox Truck. Magnificent engineering.
@@shogun2215 and none of those cars would have anything approaching the driving experience of T.33. Sportscars and driving are far more than numbers from a spreadsheet or acceleration tests.
Henry Catchpole never dissapoints. This is the best in depth coverage for this spectacular machine. And man, what a pleasure to listen to mr. Gordon Murray! Over 40 minutes of poetry!
Thank you for everything ❤️ I will absolutely never buy anything that interrupts this broadcast - can stand these stupid ads that interrupt a master !!
Gordon Murray is an absolute legend and visionary. If we are in the twilight of ICE cars, these GMA cars are certainly the swan songs, with all of the emotive elements we've come to love and appreciate. And if he has a view to building hybrid and electric cars, I feel a bit more comfortable going into an all-electric future. Thanks for the lovely interview. As always, a natural, engaging conversation without any intrusions.
The best videos are the ones when you interview Gordon or Andreas Preuninger. This one was no exception. So cool hearing the story behind all of those great details. The car looks absolutely stunning by the way.
@@Carfection, the sci-fi movie look of the Evo and Aventador certainly have their appeal -- though I prefer the simplified lines of the Evo, personally. I thought that Ferrari's 296 GTB looked really nice and simple, but Gordon has done it one better. I don't normally wax over a car, but the T.33 is damn sexy.
Nothing beats seating down with legends….and Gordon Murray sits right up their….listen to them share their technical knowhow…especially when it’s related to them having a free hand and not conforming to the status quo….thank you!!! Loved this interview as I did when he talked about the T50…am sure these will be fantastic units and like the Mclaren F1 only go up in value with time!!
Henry, your humble but at the same time childish enthousiasme combined with proper knowledge is a relief compared to shouting influencers and bloggers. A pure approach that matches this pure piece of engineering of Mr Murrays team.
I could listen to Gordon Murray talking about cars for hours. Great interview.

This car shape (kind of a miniature corvette c6) it has just remind me of Gordon Murray it's own concept study from 2015 : ''Yamaha Sport Ride'' the main difference is that would have a lower roof-scoop, motorcycle engine and brakes this will have a proper crazy NA -F1 sound engine and carbon ceramic brakes, both very cool ideas & god i wish they build more of them..
Pure and simple creation ✨️
Even though its unubtanium I love love love this thing. I wish there were more cars being made today the followed this kind of ethos. Truly beautiful.
This is TOTALLY a throwback to the alfa romeo tipo 33 - in styling and name! Why is no one talking about this??
As Richard Hammond once said " we are the spectators who just sit in an awe and said do it do it, do it." It's beautiful.
Finally someone who lets Gordon Murray speak without interrupting him constantly. Thank you 🙏
Carfection, you must cover Gordon's T25 city car and his Ox Truck in 2 future videos. Both are magnificent engineering. And yes, a whole video on Istream!
It’s passion projects like these which makes you fall in love with automobiles. Listening to Sir Gordon and Henry talk was like the ASMR I didn’t know I needed.
The more I see of it, the more I'm starting to find it absolutely gorgeous. The T50 is an extreme thing. This is gorgeous, the romantic dream of touring around Europe and doing some of the great driving roads in this is an incredible fantasy, more so than any other car I can think of right now.
I can see 904 in there and Miura from the front. I think as a modern take on those cars it really nails it. The interior looks amazing, the gear shift, the engine is going to be out of this world. I'm pretty sure I'd take this over a T50 given the choice. I can't remember the last time a modern supercar has inspired so much school boy want in me! Probably have to go back to the F40 or something like that.
A well spoken and deeply knowledgable man. I could listen to this for hours.
Best looking car since the Miura, T.33 is stunning, wow.
I know looks are subjective, but this statement is objectively false. lol
I thought that from the second I saw it.
For me the ferrari monza sp2 takes that title
lol no. A 918 is much more beautiful imho.
I have been mentally comparing it with an ALFA T33 Stradale (prototype, with the quad headlight set-up)
An extreme joy to watch. One of my favourite channels without a doubt but to show my engineering hero, what a video. All I can say is thank you to Carfection and to Murray and his team. The Mclaren F1 has always been my number one and that is because of Gordan's ethos. Here's to the future of GMA and hope that I can work as an engineer on a team like this
OH MY GOODNESS :D. This is simply beautiful 😍. From the front, it kinda reminds me of a Ferrari 458 :). I've got like 4 or 5 subscribed videos now that have this car, but I went here first ;)
Thanks for coming here first, we really appreciate it.
@@Carfection np :)
Thank you, Nathan.
@@HenryCatchpole :) 👍
This conversation was therapy. Like the T50 video. Can sit and listen to these two for hours and hours. More so, as an auto engineer. Top work.
Praying for a T.10, I just want a super lightweight, naturally aspirated, 3 seat boxster rival for
Don't hold your breath lol. Nothing this man will make with be under 100k. Its called buy the Boxster. lol
@@Plasticjesus504 boxsters are all turbo and/or expensive. All I want from a car is lightweight and driver engagement as the priority. Porsches are apl too soft and luxurious and bloated. And the GT cars are too expensive. Also central driving position needs to make its way to normal cars. I think most people that buy a 4/5 seat car only ever use 3 seats anyway so we could have less crossovers and more sports cars ln the road. Which we can all enjoy
@@chrisogrady28 Why not get a Miata then and upgrade it? Or if you have more money, a Lotus Elise.
@@CockatooDude central driving position and rhe design ethos of GMA. But yea I'm going to build a caterham in the meantime when I've got the garage space
@@chrisogrady28 Ayy good shit. I guess if you get crafty enough you could get your Caterham to have a central driving position, although it might be more trouble than it's worth.
Great interview and photography. Cannot wait until you drive it.
You and me both!
Stunning so clean and beautiful. Another hypercar Price wise more then I anticipated. If I could afford either the T50 or the T33. I would get this car I want both but if I have to choose one. It's almost everything the T50 is both beautiful cars.
I could listen to Gordon talk cars forever.
I think what draws me in so much is he seems like such an honest and lovely man.
Not trying to knock the t.50 at all as it’s a engineering masterpiece but this t.33 is so much more beautiful!
One hundred percent. Truly beautiful.
GREAT INTERVIEW MY BRO AND A GREAT AUTOMOTIVE CHANNEL SO FAR.......MASTER CLASS MAN.....MASTER CLASS////// THANK YOU FOR THIS.
Great video, personally I think it looks much better than the t50
Such a joy to listen to him speak, no bombastic words, just pure from his heart and from his head.
All well and nice talking down the Gt3. But it’s also 1/20th the price of the t50
Oh I can't get enough of your interviews with Gordon. He is brilliant but above all a Supreme gentleman. Greetings from South Africa.
"we didn't want to do a retro car, I don't like that idea" - *Stares in T50*
Woke up, ate breakfast, watched another exemplary automotive short film, the background music sets the tone beautifully. So far the best T33 review out there.
It would be interesting to see the team and the process in making of these, with Henry doing the presentation of course.
I love the idea, I love the engineering, but I’m not sold on the Corvette C5-style greenhouse. 😬
Yeah, I got that from it too.
612 front, 8C rear and yes I agree on the C5 side profile
Brilliant interview, watched quite a few of these today from Harry and Johnny as well . Looks like they were all done on the same day , what a legend Gordon Murray is 75 years old and able to talk all day remain interesting and captivating to all.
Am I the weird guy who would rather have the T33 over the T55!🤯🔫👍🏼
T55? Did I miss something, or are you talking about thet50.
It has a classic appeal
Not a crazy thought at all! 👍🏽💯
T50
I mean if you care about performance more it should probably be the T50, but the T33 is imo hands down the better looking one.
My favourite thing about listening to Gordon speak is hearing about all the things he's learning even after decades of designing incredible cars.
Love the work, love the video, and love the cars. I have to say, however, that the unparalleled respect I had for Gordon has dissappeared between the launches. Any engineer/designer deserves to be credited with their accomplishments and Gordon lying through his teeth about the McLaren MP4/4 was incredibly heartbraking to find out.
Sourcing all of his early funding off of that false recognition has clouded his own achievements in a way I just can't fully look past...
It's people like Gordon Murrary and Steve Jobs whose attention to detail and passion for the small things is so great, they end up giving us incredible products
If I'm honest, I find the styling very derivative and unoriginal (the nose is very reminiscent of Jaguar C-X75) , but there is no doubting the brilliant engineering. Look froward to seeing how it performs on the road. Full marks to Carfection for being quick off the mark in bringing us the news on T.33.
Yeah, very true. I am assuming your paying for the driving experience, because it looks like the most generic car I have ever seen. 1.3 million pounds ok..
Out of all the interviews that have landed on UA-cam….this is the best one by far.
Top work H 🤘🏼😎👍🏼
Looks better than the T50...
So great to see these interviews with Gordon Murray. The previous interviews with Horacio Pagani and Christian von Koenigsegg. Their passion and drive to bring their ideas to life.
Can only imagine having the same access to Enzo Ferrari, Colin Chapman, Ferdinand Porsche, etc.
Gordon Murray is the Jesus Christ for petrolheads in the wake of highly controversial push for battery powered electric cars, eco-centric economy that has little to do with climate preservation.
Fabulous interview Henry. What an absolute joy to to see this amazing car and listen to Gordon talk with such unbridled passion. Thank you.
I feel the same way about this car as I do about all of Koenigsegg’s cars… I wish this level of engineering would go into something that had a 6-cylinder or maybe even a 4-cylinder.
Lotus Emira!
@@Berenvacht so, in a way - yes. In another way, it uses an AMG 4-cylinder or a Toyota V6. If Lotus took those engines and re-worked them to have 9,000RPM redlines or something like that, then yes. For sure.
He said he will do a hybrid maybe that will be a 6 cylinder just like the current F1s. Detuned and made more reliable of course.
Thank you Carfection!
Your vids are most enjoyable and well made!
What a time to be a multi millionaire
I could listen to Gordon talk about stuff all day. Very wise, has a sense of humor about himself and his art, and has a clear vision about what he wants and the purpose of it. It's refreshing.
This is gorgeous! The other one is not… still looks like a surprised MR2 on steroids
Two very classy guys together - a great interview as I knew it would be before I even clicked on it!
I know this is sacrilege, but stylistically (as opposed to performance) I always found the F1 a bit bland. I get the same vibe from this. It looks to me like the sort of design these small, one man band, supercars that come along from time to time and promise much but deliver little.
I'm sure this will deliver A LOT, but the looks are very generic and uninspired (no doubt a whizz in the wind tunnel though)
I agree. Both T.50 and T.33 just aren’t very good looking.
this isn't sacrilege, don't worry, you are allowed to have an opinion.
But i may tell you man, i didn't have any feeling in particular for certain cars until i saw them in person. There are certain designs that arent that much angular and photography wise, they don't show its design qualities. In person you may few completely different.
All of those designer language jargon about proportions, they aren't exactly bollocks.
I was getting the same vibe until they shot the bonnet at 11:00. That shot shows a little more of its minimalistic and elegant lines, i suspect this may be the among the best car designs ever made. It really gives this 60's racers vibe but its a matter of taste.
@@ListingViews For me it's not that they aren't good looking, it's that they just look "Generic". I know Gordon is (rightly) world renown and admired, but these just lack a bit of pizzazz.
Maybe I just want more rockets and spiked wheels on my multi million pound cars!
Yeah, it really is not that good looking lol. I know that is subjective, but its neither curvy or aggressive. It is forgettable. The components and driving experience must be other worldly but hopefully the driving expierience is worth the 1.3 million dollars.
Amen to that. When they teased the release, I said I hope it’s not gonna be akin to a lotus styling and sure enough in my mind it doesn’t seem like an amazing design, take a pagani or pininfarina’s new car and they look like a well thought out complete design
Somebody give Gordon Murray a podcast, I'd listen to the same one episode on repeat - a truly brilliant man right there.
Strongly disagree - but design is allways an emotional and subjective thing … 🙂
Great work with the video! Best of all T33 launch videos by far.
Wow, thanks!
That is...very expensive for what it is.
Is there any other 11krpm revving V12 supercar with a manual transmission to compare it to?
not really as there is nothing like it...it comes from a designer of, many agree, the best car ever made(F1), it is limited to 100 units only, and the value will only go up with years to come
@@Carfection True, but to use a comparison that Henry used in the Mustang video not too long ago, there are plenty of cars with much more power than this for the same or less money. You could buy a Veyron, P1, 918 or a Senna for this price.
@@Carfection Now that we know GMA will always make only 100 of each, well, I hope the super tiny T25 or some derivative of it makes production. You guys should cover that prototype and the Ox Truck. Magnificent engineering.
@@shogun2215 and none of those cars would have anything approaching the driving experience of T.33. Sportscars and driving are far more than numbers from a spreadsheet or acceleration tests.
Henry Catchpole never dissapoints. This is the best in depth coverage for this spectacular machine.
And man, what a pleasure to listen to mr. Gordon Murray! Over 40 minutes of poetry!
Thank you for everything ❤️ I will absolutely never buy anything that interrupts this broadcast - can stand these stupid ads that interrupt a master !!
I think it's one of the most beautiful modern cars I have seen
Gordon Murray is an absolute legend and visionary. If we are in the twilight of ICE cars, these GMA cars are certainly the swan songs, with all of the emotive elements we've come to love and appreciate. And if he has a view to building hybrid and electric cars, I feel a bit more comfortable going into an all-electric future.
Thanks for the lovely interview. As always, a natural, engaging conversation without any intrusions.
Brilliant interview Henry.
Very informative and quietly entertaining also without hype or bullshit.
Could have listened for hours 😊👍
The best videos are the ones when you interview Gordon or Andreas Preuninger. This one was no exception. So cool hearing the story behind all of those great details. The car looks absolutely stunning by the way.
Glad you enjoyed our interviews!
I love the cleanliness of the car's exterior. No sharp bits and unnecessary cuts.
Quite refreshing, isn't it?
@@Carfection, the sci-fi movie look of the Evo and Aventador certainly have their appeal -- though I prefer the simplified lines of the Evo, personally. I thought that Ferrari's 296 GTB looked really nice and simple, but Gordon has done it one better. I don't normally wax over a car, but the T.33 is damn sexy.
Nothing beats seating down with legends….and Gordon Murray sits right up their….listen to them share their technical knowhow…especially when it’s related to them having a free hand and not conforming to the status quo….thank you!!! Loved this interview as I did when he talked about the T50…am sure these will be fantastic units and like the Mclaren F1 only go up in value with time!!
'You' playing in the background is making me emotional..... and of course the breathtaking design.....
Henry, your humble but at the same time childish enthousiasme combined with proper knowledge is a relief compared to shouting influencers and bloggers. A pure approach that matches this pure piece of engineering of Mr Murrays team.
influencers and bloggers sound like little brats these days.
I HOPE None of them bought Any of these T cars
Best interview ever. Nice one Henry. (also, so, so jelly)
