Overview

  • Gordon Murray Special Vehicles (GMSV) debuted with two models at Monterey Car Week 2025: the five‑unit S1 LM and the 24‑unit Le Mans GTR.
  • The S1 LM is a road‑legal homage to the 1995 McLaren F1 GTR, built on T.50 underpinnings with a central driving position and a six‑speed manual.
  • Its bespoke 4.3‑liter naturally aspirated Cosworth V12 revs to about 12,100 rpm and produces over 690 hp, with first deliveries planned for 2026 and all five cars already allocated to a single client.
  • The Le Mans GTR pairs a longtail body with the T.50’s 4.0‑liter V12 (about 654 hp), retains the three‑seat manual layout, and is reported sold out for a 24‑car run sold through Joe Macari Performance Cars.
  • GMSV will build ultra‑low‑volume projects across three pillars—Heritage, Bespoke, and SV Design—positioning the division to create continuations, one‑off commissions, and limited specials for collectors.
