GMA GMA T.33

Will it be available in the USA?

M

Yes, Gordon Murray said they invested $33m to get full federal approval.

Gordon Murray Audiovisual is producing a lot of good stuff.

LOL! Mercedes Visual, it took the AMG One how long to make production and them they told clients in the United States of America they couldn't have them!

And over a decade has past or more since the Holy Trinity were introduced.

Aston Martin Valkyrie and the Valhalla? And they canned the cute Supercar the Vision!

Just saying.

Surely that prototype doesn't have silencers. That's crazy loud.

I'd love to know why this car is projected to weigh some 90 kg more over the T.50, which has bigger monocoque carrying one extra seat and has active aero flaps and active fan, which obviously add weight.
The dimensions are not even that different. They're the same width, there's 3 cm wheelbase difference and 5 cm length difference between them.
Engine and gearbox are mostly the same and they both are semi stressed members of the chassis. Tires and brakes are the same. Both cars are made out of carbon and have the same type of doors, suspension and cabin equipment.

Is it just the fact that the attention to being lightweight isn't at the same level or that they're using cheaper materials and manufacturing processes?

They went into detail why in one of the original T.33 reveal interviews.

From memory, mostly it's the result of the T.33 using the iStream for the chassis - so aluminium tubes with bonded CF panels - instead of the CF monocoque as on the T.50. There is some other stuff too, like the T.33 having adjustable steering column and fully adjustable seats, while all these are fixed in the T.50 and set up specifically for each owner.

Oh, I see. I missed that part. Now it makes sense.
So something like this, huh?

It's wild to think that -90 kg (+fan and extra seat) is worth ~$1M

I guess being certified for sale in the US probably added additional weight as well.

Does someone know if the 3rd variant (track focused) of the T.33 is still happening? If so, when can we hear more info?

It's been a while since we heard anything about it. Last interview/public info was like a year ago where he said he suspects he'll only sell about 50 examples but will adjust for demand.

There was recently a short interview in Autocar with Phil Lee, the current GMA CEO, where he said that the final T.33 variant will be unveiled next year. Which, in my opinion, is a good thing. The T.33 Spider actually took almost a year to sell out, so there is definitely already some new model fatigue. With an extra year they are giving it a bit more air to breathe.
