Gordon Murray designed the McLaren F1 as well as a number of successful Formula 1 cars. Today he is the head of Gordon Murray Automotive which builds supercars of a very special caliber. Light. Focused. Naturally-aspirated. Manual gearbox. Many RPMs.
Today we're talking about their most recently debuted model, the T.33 Spyder, a breezy piece of carbon beauty powered by a 615HP V12 that redlines at 10,250RPM. We talk about the design process; what inspired the shape; why the windshield is different from every other supercar; why the car doesn't need side intakes; Gordon's dislike of buttresses; his guilty pleasure car; the type of car he's NEVER owned; and something he collects that you wouldn't expect.

Andrew Comrie-Picard has done all the things with cars one could dream of. He was a professional rally driver for Mitsubishi and Ford, winning trophies for each. He has competed in Formula Drift, stunt driven for Hollywood stars, and helped design and test the course for the Netflix show "Hyperdrive". We talk about but our main focus is his INSANE adventure driving F-250 Arctic Trucks across Northern Canada and the Northwestern Passage. Polar bears. Sinking car. Balloon tires. Helicopters. You won't believe this story.
