Gordon Murray will reveal a new supercar on 14 August at The Quail during Monterey Car Week in California. The global debut will introduce the latest supercar from Gordon Murray Special Vehicles, the division responsible for creating some of the most exclusive, lightweight, driver-focused supercars in the world.

The new model will form the centrepiece of the Gordon Murray display at The Quail, with the global unveiling hosted by Professor Gordon Murray CBE and three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti MBE.

Professor Gordon Murray CBE, Group Executive Chairman: "It is always a pleasure to return to California, and I am looking forward to sharing our latest Special Vehicles creation with everyone attending The Quail and enthusiasts around the world. We have been working on something very special – I can't wait for the covers to come off."

The forthcoming reveal follows the 2025 launch of the Gordon Murray S1 LM, the first and most exclusive Special Vehicles model. The five ultra-exclusive examples represent a masterpiece of lightweight engineering and timeless design, with iconic design and a bespoke 4.3-litre V12 engine producing 720 PS. Last year, an S1 LM sold for a record-setting $20.6 million at auction, establishing a new benchmark for a contemporary supercar and underlining the exceptional demand for Gordon Murray models, with every programme announced to date being fully sold out.

Joining the new model in California will be the company’s Le Mans GTR supercar, which debuted at The Quail last year. Returning as an Experimental Prototype, ‘XP1’ is now a fully operational development vehicle, fresh from running the Goodwood Hill and its dynamic debut at the Le Mans Classic race in July. Inspired by Professor Murray's love for longtail endurance racers and powered by a high-revving Cosworth V12 engine, the Le Mans GTR is an uncompromising interpretation of the brand's lightweight engineering and driver-centric philosophy.

A selection of customer-owned Gordon Murray T.50 supercars will also be displayed around the central lawn exhibit at The Quail, providing visitors with a rare opportunity to see multiple examples of the acclaimed V12 supercar together during Monterey Car Week.

Dario Franchitti: “With a sizable proportion of Gordon Murray vehicles destined for the US, Car Week always feels like a second home. Since the S1 LM and Le Mans GTR debuted here last year, we’ve made major progress in their development, and the new model will soon join them on the road to production. I’ve loved driving the Le Mans GTR and beginning the process of dialling in the Driving Perfection that gives every Gordon Murray supercar its distinctive appeal.”
