Surrey-based
Gordon Murray Group (GMG), an advanced automotive engineering and design company, has received a King’s Award for Enterprise – in recognition of the world-beating innovations of the Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) T.50 supercar.
Gordon Murray Automotive unveiled the £2.36 million T.50 supercar in 2020 with the exclusive 100-unit production run selling out within 48hr of launch. Utilising innovative weight saving techniques, years of Formula One motorsport expertise, and building on the foundation of Gordon Murray’s 1990s F1 road car, the T.50 rewrote the supercar rule book.
Professor Gordon Murray CBE (pictured left), company founder and executive chairman, said: “As a proud British business, it is such an immense honour for the whole Gordon Murray Group team to receive the King’s Award for Enterprise. The fact that the award specifically recognises innovation is a source of great pride as we aspire to deliver ‘driving perfection’ through our innovative production of highly exclusive supercars.
“It is through the collective skills and creative minds of our entire team that we have built a brand that is recognised around the world as the pinnacle of automotive engineering excellence. We will wear our King’s Award for Enterprise with pride, using it as yet more motivation to strive for ever higher levels of perfection in the unique supercars we create.”
Phillip Lee, Gordon Murray Group CEO, said: “Being a premium British company is a core part of our company’s ethos and identity. It flows right from our UK-first supply chain, right to the way we present ourselves to customers. This royal recognition will motivate us to build on each of our principles to deliver unique, innovative supercars of the highest quality to our discerning customers around the world.”
The prestigious recognition comes in the same year as the Gordon Murray Group celebrates 60 years of automotive design by the company’s founder. The business will reflect on the significant benefit Gordon Murray’s legacy brings to the brand at this year’s
Goodwood Festival of Speed where Gordon Murray Automotive is set to be the ‘Central Feature Marque’.
The event will celebrate 60 years of Gordon Murray designs with a diverse catalogue of his race and road cars taking to the Goodwood Hill and an eye-catching sculpture outside Goodwood House highlighting the company’s focus on driving perfection, engineering art and lightweighting.
