The follow-up on the fantastic T.50 from Gordon Murray Automotive is officially here. The T.33 isn't quite as hardcore as its sibling, but with a naturally-aspirated 607-horsepower (453-kilowatt) 3.9-liter V12 turning the rear wheels in a 2,400-pound supercar, hardcore is a relative term here.
Let's jump right to the heart of the T.33, which is a tweaked version of the same Cosworth-sourced V12 engine used in the T.50. It doesn't rev quite as high in the T.33, but we're still talking about an 11,100-rpm redline. Peak power arrives at a suborbital 10,500 revs, with 333 pound-feet (451 Newton-meters) of peak torque arriving at 9,500 rpm. GMA says 75 percent of that torque is available at 2,500 rpm, so you don't necessarily need to sing soprano for a leisurely cruise around town. Compared to the 12,100-rpm limit in the T.50, the T.33 is a bit more comfortable at lower revs but make no mistake – this is still a high-strung machine.
