❗️The first customer GMA T.50s Niki Lauda is basically a rolling love letter to Gordon Murray’s first Formula 1 win.

Chassis 1 pays tribute to the 1974 South African Grand Prix at Kyalami, where Carlos Reutemann won in the Gordon Murray-designed Brabham BT44.

That’s why the car wears a white body with South African flag-inspired stripes, a black number 7, and subtle “Kyalami 1974” details.

Even though the model is named after Niki Lauda, this specific spec is more of a tribute to Murray’s Brabham breakthrough and Reutemann’s race-winning car.

The T.50s is the track-only version of the T.50, limited to just 25 examples, with each one connected to a major race win from Murray’s career.

It uses a screaming naturally aspirated V12 making 761 hp at 11,500 rpm, weighs around 900 kg / 1,984 lb, and can generate up to 1,200 kg / 2,645 lb of downforce.

The huge wing, roof scoop, center-seat layout, and fan-assisted aero make it feel like an F1-inspired track weapon rather than a normal hypercar.

For collectors, this is special because it combines Gordon Murray’s modern engineering obsession with one of the most important moments in his racing history.

Is this one of the coolest heritage liveries ever put on a modern track-only hypercar?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
