Capped at 64 cars worldwide, the S1 is the spiritual successor to Gordon Murray's McLaren F1 road car.
It uses a 4.2-liter Cosworth V12 producing up to 681 horsepower and revving to 12,100 rpm.
The mid-engine car keeps a central driving position, six-speed manual gearbox, active integrated rear aero, and softened touring suspension.
Gordon Murray Special Vehicles has pulled the wraps off the new S1 at The Quail during Monterey Car Week, a limited-run V12 supercar developed from the S1 LM track special and aimed at long-distance touring. With its three-seat layout, central driving position, naturally aspirated Cosworth V12, and focus on low weight, it reads as a modern McLaren F1 in everything but name.
The S1 sits on a carbon fiber monocoque related to the S1 LM but trades that car's fixed aero hardware for smoother bodywork and active rear aerodynamics. Ride height is raised and the suspension is softened for comfort, yet target weight still undercuts the GMA T.50, Murray's earlier F1-inspired supercar, and stays in the same ballpark as his T.33 and T.50 spin-offs.
