Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) will use the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, running from July 10-13 in the U.K., to present a new version of its T.33 supercar, the company announced on Monday.

No further details have been released, but company founder Gordon Murray has previously hinted at a potential track-focused version of the T.33 in development.

In a podcast published last December, Murray said the third and final version of the T.33 will be a “tougher and more focused” S version. He also noted that the T.33 S won’t be a track-only model like the T.50s Niki Lauda, based on the T.50 supercar, but will still feature upgrades designed to enhance track performance, such as increased downforce and more focused suspension settings. More power is also possible.

The T.33 is a V-12 supercar introduced by GMA in early 2022 as a successor to the T.50. It is powered by a 3.9-liter V-12 engine, developed in collaboration with Cosworth, producing 608 hp in its standard configuration. A convertible variant, the T.33 Spider, was revealed in 2023.

GMA plans to manufacture 100 units of each body style, and the newly introduced T.33 S version will likely have its own separate production run. Meanwhile, the T.50s Niki Lauda is limited to just 25 units, in addition to the 100 examples of the standard T.50.

The central theme of this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed is “The Winning Formula – Champions and Challengers,” and Gordon Murray’s six decades of road and race car designs will also be celebrated at the event. Even the event’s famous Central Feature sculpture will be inspired by Murray and his designs, which include automotive icons like the McLaren F1 supercar, the Brabham BT46B “Fan Car” from the 1978 Formula 1 season, and multiple successful McLaren race cars that competed in F1 from 1987 to 1991.

“For 60 years, I have enjoyed the design and engineering challenge of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible—be that in racing or road cars,” Murray said in a statement. “The supercars that Gordon Murray Automotive builds today are inspired by every car I’ve designed, raced, and owned.”
