GMA T50 12,100rpm

Gordon Murray never does things by halves, so when he decided to create the T50 supercar, it had to have a V12 with no forced induction or electrification in sight. Cosworth Engineering designed the 3.9-litre engine, which sounds and revs like a 1990s Formula 1 engine as it reaches a peak of 12,100rpm. It makes 641bhp, which seems modest compared with many of today’s hypercars, but lightness comes to the T50’s aid: it weighs just 980kg against, say, 1570kg for the Ferrari SF90 Stradale. This also means there’s no need to get additional low-rev torque from turbocharging. A more touring-focused supercar from GMA, the T33, uses the same V12 but with the redline reduced to (a still heady) 11,100rpm.
