Gordon Murray Automotive will take the centre stage at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, marking 60 years of design and engineering by company founder, Professor Gordon Murray CBE. As this year’s central feature marque, GMA will showcase a sculpture outside Goodwood House.
Running from 10-13 July, the Festival will highlight the evolution of Murray’s career from his earliest designs to his latest creations, culminating in the unveiling of a brand-new GMA supercar. Alongside this debut, the company’s current range – the T.50, T.50s Niki Lauda, T.33, and T.33 Spider – will be on display, sharing the stage with many of Murray’s previous landmark cars.
Murray, who has been at the forefront of automotive design since 1965, reflected on his six-decade career: ‘For 60 years, I have enjoyed the design and engineering challenge of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible – be that in racing or road cars. The supercars that Gordon Murray Automotive builds today are inspired by every car I’ve designed, raced, and owned. Lightweight design, innovative use of materials, the latest technologies, and even bending the laws of physics come into all we do.’
The central feature sculpture will stand as a tribute to Murray’s ethos of lightweight construction and driving purity – hallmarks that have defined his designs from early Brabham and McLaren F1 cars to the latest GMA supercars. Visitors to the Festival will also be able to see GMA’s range displayed in front of Goodwood House, in the Supercar Paddock, and on the cricket pitch, where a special selection of Murray-designed classics will be assembled.
GMA CEO Phillip Lee added: ‘The GMA business is proud of its heritage and the rich tapestry of road and race cars that continue to inspire our design ethos and technological approach. Gordon’s illustrious career and unique approach to design and engineering influence all we do, contributing to the quality, status, and focus on driving perfection of the supercars we build today and those that will come in the future.’
