Goodwood Festival of Speed opens with the Duke taking a ride in a GMA T50

The Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 is now underway with the sound of a naturally aspirated V12 engine rumbling across the landscape. This year, Goodwood is celebrating the legendary automobile designer Gordon Murray, and what better way to kick off the proceedings than with his latest creation, the GMA T.50.

The event was flagged off by the Duke of Richmond with a ride in the GMA T50. British racing driver Dario Franchitti was in the driver’s seat.

The GMA T50 is powered by a 3.9-liter, naturally aspirated V12 engine built by Cosworth. The engine produces 654 hp @ 11,500 rpm and 344 lb-ft @ 9,000 rpm. It is the highest-revving naturally aspirated road car engine ever built, and Dario was kind enough to keep the engine revs high as he made his way up the hill.

Gordon Murray Automotive also brought along the T.33 supercar at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The T33 is slightly less expensive than the T50 but is also powered by a V12 engine, which produces 609 hp @ 10,250 rpm.
