$6.2 million for a car that has barely left the factory. That’s the target for the ultra-exclusive Gordon Murray T.50 up for sale this fall via RM Sotheby’s Sealed. This example, chassis 47, has just 62 miles, about 100 kilometers, on the odometer since leaving the Gordon Murray Automotive workshop in 2024.
Never registered, never truly used by its sole owner, it remains effectively new. This T.50 is among the 100 road-going examples assembled at Highams Park, in Surrey, United Kingdom. Asking price ranges from $5.68 million to $6.22 million, i.e., €5.2–€5.7 million, setting a high bar. And that’s only the beginning, if early sales already recorded for the T.50 are any guide.
Gordon Murray T.50 chassis 47: A nearly-new hypercar already commanding a premium
Fresh from the factory in 2024, the T.50 chassis 47 shows just over 100 km on the clock. It has never been registered. It has been kept in professional storage in the United Kingdom, with no road use by its owner.
The configuration is meticulous, with Harrier Gray matte paint protected by a satin wrap. Exterior carbon fiber in a satin finish appears as well, including the famed rear fan. Inside, the cabin blends anthracite Alcantara and leather, with the driver’s seat centralized in Luffield Tan leather. The number 47 holds symbolic meaning for Gordon Murray; his very first race car bore that number, and McLaren F1 GTR’s Le Mans win in 1995 coincided with his 47th year. “All T.50s are unique, but this one is truly special, and not just because of the 47,” says Harvey Stanley, RM Sotheby’s private sales director, cited by Motor1.
When Gordon Murray Automotive opened orders in August 2020, the T.50 listed at £2.36 million. That represented roughly $3 million, i.e., about €2.8 million. The 100 examples sold in under two days—a strong early sign of collectors’ appetite for this analog hypercar.
Early owners have already seen the T.50’s value rise. The model has already doubled in value over six years. “So there’s no reason to think prices won’t keep climbing,” notes Harvey Stanley. Another chassis, 009, reached $8.035 million at a sale in April 2023, about €7.4 million, a new benchmark for the model. A chassis 035, auctioned in Abu Dhabi with delivery mileage, hit $5.63 million, roughly €5.1 million.
V12 Cosworth, central configuration and RM Sotheby’s Sealed sale for the T.50
The Gordon Murray T.50 asserts a tech spec that runs counter to the hybrid hypercar era. Under the rear deck sits a Cosworth 3.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 delivering about 654 horsepower, with no turbo or electric assist. The engine revs to 12,100 rpm and powers only the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. All told, the car weighs under 2,200 pounds, about 1,000 kilograms.
Gordon Murray Automotive claims a 0–60 mph time of 2.9 seconds. Top speed is officially 226 mph, roughly 364 km/h. The interior follows the same philosophy: three seats and a central driving position reminiscent of the McLaren F1. Almost no screens, very few driver aids; everything designed for the pleasure of driving.
For the sale, RM Sotheby’s uses its Sealed format—a private online bidding platform where every offer remains confidential. The final price is kept under wraps, far from the usual theater of a live auction. The T.50 chassis 47 will be offered online from September 23 through 30, 2026. It’s the same format the house used for a matte-black Ferrari Enzo offered this month.
Specific to the European market, this T.50 interests collectors on the Old Continent as well as buyers from other regions. Facing a nearly-new hypercar estimated up to $6.22 million, the question remains: should one keep it under lock and key as an investment, or push it to 12,100 rpm on road or track?
