Gordon Murray is the king of fan cars

It's really not surprising that all copies were sold out within 48 hours of its release. The designer behind this car has built an impressive resume over the course of his life.

We're, of course, looking at the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50. A car inspired by Gordon Murray, who is crazy about cars with fans. Not to cool down, but to suck the car onto the ground. He made his first attempt in Formula 1, with success. The car was so successful that the concept was banned. It turned out that the fan technology worked very well. Murray then became the chief designer of the McLaren F1, and then it was time for his own success. The T.50 was born, and the fan was used again. With the help of the fan, the car is pulled stronger towards the ground, providing better stability, of course. Combine this with a 683 horsepower V12 engine, and you can be sure to have an entertaining day. As a driver, you sit in the middle, and there is the option, as with the McLaren F1, to have your passengers on both sides. When you look at the design of this vehicle, you can find some parallels with the legendary McLaren F1. Especially the front area looks very similar to its relative. The headlights have been modernized a bit. The small front hood is almost identical to that of the McLaren F1, and so are the doors. Because these are in the same legendary triangular shape as those of the F1. Also, the driver sits in the middle with two passenger seats, one on the left and one on the right. The biggest difference is, of course, the large fan that adorns the rear. The F1 did not have this. The side mirrors also have a difference. Gordon Murray's mirrors are not mirrors but cameras that display the image on a screen inside.
What is also interesting is that another Gordon Murray had already parked at this hotel once before.
