GMA Gordon Murray Special Vehicles

[Centurion]

OT: is the Brunei Royal family still commissioning unique builds? I figure all the hubbub Jefri caused, they were taking a more low-key approach.

Not all one-offs are shown to the public. Some are never driven at all and go straight from factory to a home or storage facility. This includes Ferraris, Lambos and Bugattis. This is either for privacy or ego reasons.

The rules of selling to the ultra rich are:
-Avoid saying no to a requests.
-Instead you turn them away with a high price, sometimes they will check you on it and say let's go.

The who commissioned the GMSV S1 LM and ordered 5, own 2 T.50 and one of each of the other cars that Gordon Murray automotive have built.

The S1 LM is a weird one to me. It's not even designed by Gordon Murray and apparently all 5 are going to the same customer. It's a glorified F1 T50-Restomod with a Gordon Murray badge more than anything.

If you watched Harry's video Dario said it's not using the T50 chassis, its completely bespoke and the design came from the owners own designer. From what I have read elsewhere the man who commissioned these cars is the same guy who bought the F1 HDF that lived in NZ for $19.8m a couple of years ago.

I think the 24 looks like mid engine homage to the R35 GTR.

Another very interesting point is thet Gordon Murray SV is a completely independent business from Gordon Murray automotive. It has its own staff and profit & loss.

These cars are not vanity project but commissions that are profitable! Good way or shielding the main business from potential design related law suits.

I bet many T.50 owners wish they had this instead.

Actually, they made it for the ones who weren't able to get their hands on a T.50
All 7 versions of the other are sold to one single person.

If you watched Harry's video Dario said it's not using the T50 chassis, its completely bespoke and the design came from the owners own designer.

But Dario is selling his product and is full of BS. Completely bespoke my f' ing ass. Changing a mounting point here and there sure doesn't make it something completely else. It's a glorified T.50 indeed.

I agree. They would not have the resources and time to develop multiple completely bespoke vehicles in parallel. Neither would it be economically responsible for the business or the customers.
