## A six-million-dollar hammer drop
A 2024 Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 with barely any miles on it is crossing the block at RM Sotheby's, where it could clear $6 million.
## Murray's favourite number
Professor Gordon Murray has a thing for 47. It keeps turning up at the turning points of his career, and not always by accident.

> There's a special place in Professor Gordon Murray 's heart for the numeral 47.
## Built in a bedroom at 17
His first design was the T.1, a low-slung two-seater he drew, engineered and assembled himself as a teenager. He raced it wearing number 47.

## Le Mans, on his birthday
In June 1995 the McLaren F1 GTR took outright victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Murray turned 47 that same day.

## A V-12 with no turbos
The T.50 carries a 3.9-liter naturally aspirated Cosworth V-12. No forced induction, no hybrid assist, just revs and airflow.
## Driver in the middle
Inside, the cabin follows the F1 template Murray made famous, with the driver's seat set centrally and passengers tucked back on either side.
## Key takeaway

The T.50's price is really a bet on Gordon Murray's record, from a car he built in his bedroom at 17 to a Le Mans win on his 47th birthday.
