Title: Gordon Murray’s new T.33 Spider revealed
Post by: CaminoRacer on April 08, 2023, 02:16:30 PM
This is the kind of supercar I'm still interested in. Others, not so much.

That and the Valkyrie.  Both the last of their breed.

Easily my favorite car from the past 10-20 years

I didn't have audio on the video (I was on a call, so I just fast forwarded and looked at the visuals), but I thought this was going to have a manual option. Is this still true or am I thinking of a different car?

It's manual only?

The video shows the manual shifter. It's just very minimalist. I was thrown off by it for a minute too.

Oh wow, I saw how small that gate was and thought it was a sequential box. I'm used to seeing much more dramatic open gate shifters, like Ferrari or the Audi R8.

Yes, it is manual only. They were designing a dual clutch, but for the coupe version of the T-33, only two out of 100 customers ordered the DSG so they canned the project.
