Murray revealed that his company will only make 100 units of the T.33 per SKU – although a Spyder version is also planned – so there will be 300 cars in total. It uses the naturally aspirated 3.9-liter V12 engine from the same Cosworth-designed T.50, but has been slightly reworked to be more road-usable. This means that it tops out at 607 bhp which is slightly less than the T.50 and still spins at a stratospheric 11,100 rpm in a package that is slightly taller and heavier at under 1,100 kg. Murray believes it is still lighter than most cars and has a better power to weight ratio than the McLaren F1. In doing so, his team has worked on improving the torque delivery of the engine which makes it more useful while cruising.
