Gordon Murray Strikes Again with the S1

  • Gordon Murray Special Vehicles has just shown its third supercar, the S1.
  • Mechanically based on last year’s S1 LM, the new car is more touring-focused.
  • Only 64 will be built, and all are spoken for.

Gordon Murray, the engineering luminary behind the McLaren F1, is not slowing down. His current firm, Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA), has already produced the T.50, sort of a modern-day take on the F1, and the Sixties-inspired T.33. As if those cars weren't special enough, last year he created Gordon Murray Special Vehicles (GMSV), which he says allows for more creative freedom to play with ultra-low production cars.

A good thriller makes compelling use of personal stakes and ticking clock mechanics, but a great one throws in well-earned twists and red herrings for good measure. Films like Mulholland Drive (2001) and The Silence of the Lambs (1991) endure for these reasons, using puzzle-box or procedural frameworks to dig deeper into what makes the human mind tick.
