Beyond 2020: The Future Of Supercars
MOTOR Magazine Australia|October 2020
Never mind the four-wheeled greats that define the past, what about those hair-raisers yet to come? And beyond?
Beyond 2020: The Future Of Supercars

You may have noticed some high profile omissions from our list, notably the upcoming Mercedes-AMG One, Aston Martin Valkyrie, Lotus Evija and Gordon Murray Engineering T50. We can’t rank cars we haven’t driven yet! Of course, though, all of these cars have the potential to top a future hottest 100 supercars list, if they are as exciting to drive as they promise to be.

We’ll start with the Gordon Murray Engineering T50, effectively the spiritual successor to the mighty McLaren F1. The T50 (rear pictured opposite) will be powered by a 4.0-litre atmo V12 revving to 12,100rpm. Outputs of 488kW/467Nm are to be sent via a six-speed manual (!) to the rear wheels, aft of which a large electrically driven fan enhances downforce and reduces drag. Not much larger than a Porsche Cayman, the T50 is a three-seater, like the F1, and extraordinarily comes in at just 986kg with all fluids. Murray promises the T50 will be the ‘greatest driver’s car ever’. Just 100 are to be built, $4.3m each, with first deliveries expected in 2022.

While the T50 is getting our jollies up for the way it might drive, it’s the AMG One (pictured top, over page) and Aston Valkyrie (pictured middle) that are sort of frightening us for just how fast they might be.
