Gordon Murray Automotive – the supercar automaker founded in the UK in 2017 by McLaren-trained designer Gordon Murray – is perhaps best known for its high-revving 12-cylinder engines. Both of the company’s products, the T.50 and T.33, are old-school hardcore performance machines with naturally aspirated V12 mills, but it seems the process of electrification in the automotive industry isn’t going anywhere. will not go through the car manufacturer.
Nobody is immune to hybridization and Phillip Lee, boss of the Gordon Murray group, recently admitted that GMA’s research and development team was already working on different electrified projects. The team is currently exploring several avenues in the search for the best electrification solution for the manufacturer.

“Eventually we will all eventually go electric,” Lee said. Top of the line in a recent interview. “I think that will be the end point and the reason for that is that the legislation will dictate where we all go. For GMA it’s something we’re working on and we have R&D within Gordon Murray Technologies to explore different types of powertrains, up to hybridization, electrification, hydrogen, fuels alternatives…we’re looking at everything to see where the roadmap is.
In fact, this isn’t the first time Gordon Murray Automotive has been linked with an electrified product. Earlier this summer, it became clear that the brand is developing two electric SUVs that “will change the way we think about range anxiety and vehicle dynamics”. These two premium EVs will mark the brand’s first entry into more traditional waters, with both models expected to be reasonably priced and as light as possible. However, no specific technical details are currently available.
Lee told the British publication that the brand will always be technology driven, no matter what engines and powertrains it has to use. Enthusiasts will likely be pleased to hear that lightness will always remain a core feature of GMA’s products, as the company wants to maintain “the emotion.”
“The philosophy of our brand and what we do is that we want people to drive our cars. We want to see them out and we want people to enjoy them. These are not museum pieces to sit there,” Lee added.
