Gordon Murray's carbon-monocoque supercar, built 1992-1998 with a BMW S70/2 6.1L V12 producing around 627 hp and a central driving position with two passenger seats flanking. Only 106 cars were built in total, including road cars, GTR race variants and LM homologation specials. It held the production car top speed record at 240.1 mph for over a decade and is regarded as one of the purest expressions of analogue supercar engineering.
It won Le Mans outright on its first attempt in 1995 and combined race-bred carbon construction with a gold-lined engine bay and bespoke luggage, an unrepeatable mix of uncompromising engineering and usability. Its three-seat layout, naturally aspirated V12 and lack of driver aids make it a cultural touchstone that defines the analogue hypercar era.
