All show, all go

Does the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 live up to your expectations? If you’re anything like us, the drip-feed of information titbits and gulp-inducing video teasers over the last few months has left you yearning to learn more than any other supercar in recent memory. And now we’ve finally seen the finished product, we’re sure you’ll agree the hype was warranted.

This striking blue Ferrari, chassis 14065, started life as a steel-bodied production Daytona, painted red with a beige interior. That was until it was bought by the well-known Pennsylvania-based Ferrari dealer Kirk F. White, who set about transforming it into a zero-compromise GT racer. 

We admit it: this bright yellow Ferrari Testarossa Spider would look more at home on the palm-lined, sunseeker-strewn beachfront promenades of Miami or Los Angeles than the grey, congested streets of Paris.
