GMA’s new T.33 ‘supercar’ will be built at Global HQ in Surrey The Gordon Murray Group announced earlier this month that its new ‘Global Headquarters and Technology Campus’ at Highams Park in Windlesham, Surrey, will be the principal manufacturing site of Gordon Murray Automotive’s second all-new T.33 ‘supercar’, which will be unveiled at a global debut on 27 January. It will be joining the T.50 and T.50s Niki Lauda in the GMA line-up.

Construction work will soon be underway at the Gordon Murray Group’s new Global HQ site. The campus is the result of a £50 million investment; and alongside future manufacturing facilities, will also house vehicle design and development, a test track, a heritage centre, and customer sales and servicing suites. The first phase of development will be unveiled within the next few weeks. It is anticipated that most of the development work for the new supercar will also be completed at Highams Park.

Chairman Gordon Murray said: “I am confident that both our new supercars and our new home will be game-changers in the UK automotive industry. We will have many important milestones for our headquarters over the next two years, including the unveiling of the first Gordon Murray Automotive vehicle to be manufactured there.”

The Gordon Murray Group incorporates Gordon Murray Design, Gordon Murray Automotive, Gordon Murray Electronics and Gordon Murray Heritage. Professor Murray spent 20 years as technical director to two Formula One. At Brabham, he was instrumental in two world championship wins (1981 and 1983) before three consecutive championship wins with McLaren Racing (1988, 1989 and 1990).

In 1990 — after 50 Grand Prix wins — he moved away from Formula One to concentrate on establishing a new company for the group, McLaren Cars Limited. Professor Murray left McLaren in 2005 to set up Gordon Murray Design Ltd (in 2007), of which he is chairman.
