Humm

Kind of shuts the conversation down when the person making the decisions tells what is happening.?

ICE still dominates in the real world. I'm actually impressed there is this much ruckus around electric given how slow your average charger works, how little infrastructure there is, and how expensive the cars are. I think we're stuck with manufacturers sinking all profits in electric just to show they can make something if and when the world transitions. It's all too soon.

I'm totally going to enjoying digging into the now affordable V8 through V12 ICE cars as the years pile on. I'm not going electric until I absolutely have to.

Gordon Murray designer of the McLaren F1 supercar and now the GMA T.50 in answer to the question "Why not make an all-electric hypercar?"

“Just about the most ridiculous thing you could do at present is make an electric supercar. With batteries in their current state, you’d end up with something that weighed two tonnes, would go well in a straight line for a while, but wouldn’t corner because of the weight, and wouldn’t have much range. Our new car is the opposite of an electric supercar in just about every way.”

Pretty sure Gordon Murray is working on my all time favorite car, the T.50. Can't afford to drive one much less race one so I'm hoping at least the T.43 will make to the US. I will buy it 100% if he makes it.

Sounds like a plan.

Haven't seen much about the T.43 recently. Did it make it into production,,,?

Murray said he's not in a rush to make the T.43. I think he wants the T.50 out first, that's the priority to create the brand halo car. It will be a few years, likely the same timing as the new Exige which this time should be US compliant. So 2023 for both is a good guess, ugh.

Humm
That's a long time!
