BROAD ARROW AUCTIONS SETS NEW BENCHMARK FOR GORDON MURRAY AUTOMOTIVE T.50 WITH $8.035 MILLION RESULT ON THE CALIFORNIA MILLE
Paso Robles, California, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broad Arrow Auctions, driven by Hagerty (NYSE:HGTY), is thrilled to announce the result of a unique, single-car auction—the first North American public auction of a Gordon Murray Automotive T.50—at a stop along the celebrated California Mille on the evening of April 21 in Paso Robles, California.
The 2025 Gordon Murray Automotive T.50, chassis number 009, is one of 100 examples built of "the world's greatest driver's car", with the example on offer finished in bespoke Reef red and showing less than 30 delivery miles. The famed modern supercar from the designer of the McLaren F1 is powered by a 3.9-liter Cosworth GMA V-12 naturally aspirated engine, producing 661 horsepower at 11,000 rpm with a maximum engine speed of 12,100 rpm. That power is driven through a six-speed manual transmission and boosted by active and fan-assisted aerodynamics, all boasting a sub-1,000-kilogram dry weight.
The T.50 was presented during a dinner held for California Mille participants, drawing significant interest from multiple bidders in the room and eventually selling for a final $8,035,000 to a rally entrant. The 2026 California Mille pays special tribute to the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50, with five examples participating in the rally. A portion of proceeds from the sale of this incredibly rare supercar will benefit both the California Highway Patrol (CHP) 11-99 Foundation, which provides emergency assistance to California Highway Patrol employees and their families, as well as McPherson College's renowned Automotive Restoration Program in honor of its 50th anniversary.
"The T.50 result is another spectacular example of the strength of the supercar market among today's most active collectors," says Alexander Weaver, Senior Car Specialist and Vice President at Broad Arrow. "This nearly unobtainable icon from the legendary Gordon Murray is one of the cars to have, and we were honored to present it to a room of some of the world's preeminent collectors and driving enthusiasts along one of the most beautiful tours in the hobby."
Results and more information on the T.50 are available at broadarrowauctions.com. Broad Arrow continues its auction calendar in Southern California this weekend on April 25, with the company's third annual single-marque Porsche Air|Water Auction during the renowned Air|Water Experience by the creators of Luftgekühlt.
