Surprise: the Gordon Murray T.50 is TG readers’ favourite production V12 supercar right now

Very rarely do we know what the answers will be when we dish out our Question of the Week posts on Monday morning, but this time around, we had a fair indication.

We asked you lot which production V12 supercar of 2024 would take your vote as the best on sale, and though there was some support for the likes of the Lamborghini Revuelto and the Aston Martin DBS, it was a fairly routine victory for the Gordon Murray T.50 in the end. 

“It’s Murray’s ultimate form of the F1,” said Snod the Space Cat. Frank Jones agreed, citing their reason as being the fact that the T.50 “sounds like a proper V12 should”. 

Al Kim, meanwhile, commented: “For me, there's only one option: the T.50. It's the only current V12 supercar that does things differently. The fact that Murray made it slip under the one-tonne mark deserves every ounce of respect, and its packaging is second to none.”

Away from the clear favourite, we enjoyed this vote from Gandubilli Siddarth: “Putting ‘supercar’ in the title does a great disservice to the sublime BMW N74B63 V12. But if I had to pick, there’s something about a long-bonnet Aston that does it for me and the DBS nails that design. Banger.” 

A few curveball options also entered the fray, the first being penned in by Jay Kay: “I propose the inappropriate 917 RCR, with an equally inappropriate 8.0-litre flat-12 built up from a pair of 4.0-litre flat-six RS engines. But if you must, just ring up Cosworth for a used V12 lying around to stuff in the back. I’m sure there are leftovers from Aston Martin and Gordon Murray.”

We’ll round things off with another unique choice, this time from Andrew Robinson: “Can I have my V12 split over two Singer 911s? It would solve the 'turbo or no turbo' dream garage dilemma nicely.

“No? Well, then I'm not going to follow the crowd down the T.50 route because I'd just feel terrified by its capabilities and terrified of it exposing my limited driving abilities. Can you imagine every eye being on you and stalling it? I'm 55 with a bad back, so I'm even moderately terrified of getting in and out of that central seating position. I honestly wouldn't want to let Gordon and Dario down by owning one and not using it properly... so it's the T.33 for me - all the engineering excellence without the pressure of owning that car.”
