Design
The design of the GMA T.33 is inspired by the GTs of the 1960s such as the Ferrari Dino and Lamborghini Miura.
Murray utilized a 2-seater coupé configuration for the T.33, with the body built entirely in carbon, mounted on a structure of carbon fiber panels glued to an aluminum frame. The rear wings of the T.33 open in the opposite direction of travel to give access to two trunks, with a total capacity of 25 liters.
The T.33 is powered by the same V12 as the T.50, produced in cooperation with Cosworth, with 3.99 liters of displacement and four valves per cylinder, with a power output of 615 hp at 10,500 rpm and 451 N m of torque at 9,500 rpm. The V12 is mated to a standard 6-speed Xtrac manual or optional 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters, with power sent to the rear wheels.
Production
GMA plans to build 100 customer cars at its Surrey production site.[1]
