Gordon Murray, creator of the Mclaren F1 once told CAR magazine, “there’s no point in trying to outdo the F1, they’ll never do it. The world has moved on…” It’s hard to imagine that the F1 will remain the ultimate, but it would be hard to argue that with the father of the Mclaren F1. But just to prove a point, Mr.Murray is willing to take another crack at creating the ultimate supercar, just to show how it’s done.
Murray is currently busy with a handful of projects that include the iStream – a technology that will revolutionize the way cars are built – and the soon-to-be-released- T25 city car. After this, the man will set his sights on the successor to the F1, a more performance oriented model, but rather than trying to outdo the Mclaren F1, he’ll be going for a high power-to-weight ratio by decreasing the latter instead of increasing the former.
The result, according to Murray, promises to be “expensive and exclusive”, and very different from the P11 – a program which Murray apparently doesn’t give much of a chance. We are looking forward to the latest Murray creation with high optimism, it’ll be nice to have a proper supercar rather than the electronic-laden gizmo’s we get these days.
