Gordon Murray T.50 made US$8.035m at its first North American auction

A 2025 Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 sold for US$8.035m including fees at a single-car Broad Arrow auction in Paso Robles, California, on the evening of 21 April 2026, the first public auction of a T.50 in North America, the house said.

The car, chassis 009, is one of 100 T.50s built. It was finished in a bespoke Reef red and showed fewer than 30 delivery miles.

The T.50 comes from Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1. Its 3.9-litre Cosworth V12 is naturally aspirated and makes 661 horsepower at 11,000 rpm, with a six-speed manual gearbox and a dry weight under 1,000 kilograms.

Several bidders in the room competed at a dinner for California Mille participants, and a rally entrant bought the car. Five T.50s took part in the 2026 rally, which paid tribute to the model. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the California Highway Patrol 11-99 Foundation and McPherson College’s automotive restoration programme.

Broad Arrow headlined the result as a new benchmark for the T.50.

Its Amelia Concours Auction on 6 and 7 March made more than US$111m including buyer’s premium, the highest total in that event’s 31-year history, the house said. A single-owner 2003 Ferrari Enzo led it at US$15.185m.
