Summary
- Five-unit road-legal tribute to Murray’s 1995 Le Mans win
- 4.3L V12 revs to 12,100 rpm, producing 690+ hp
- Bespoke design focuses on lightweight engineering and purity
Gordon Murray Special Vehicles (GMSV) has launched its first commission, the S1 LM, during Monterey Car Week 2025. Limited to just five units, the road-legal supercar pays tribute to Murray’s landmark 1995 Le Mans victory while embodying his design philosophy of lightweight engineering and timeless beauty.
The S1 LM features a newly lowered roofline and full carbon fiber bodywork with Le Mans-inspired aero, including a splitter, diffuser and dual-element rear wing. At its core is a bespoke 4.3-liter V12 producing more than 690 hp, capable of revving to 12,100 rpm. Paired with a manual gearbox derived from the T.50s and a bespoke Inconel exhaust wrapped in 18-karat gold shielding, the engine delivers both extreme responsiveness and a distinct race-bred sound.
Inside, a central driving position anchors a cockpit defined by minimalist architecture and lightweight materials, emphasizing Murray’s principle of “engineering art.” Suspension geometry, bespoke dampers and a solid-mounted engine sharpen the driving experience, connecting the driver directly to the machine. Professor Gordon Murray described the S1 LM as “timeless and beautiful,” highlighting its balance and proportion over outlandish design trends. Built by GMSV’s Bespoke division, the five cars are already spoken for, with first deliveries expected in 2026.
