Surrey, UK, 17 March 2025 – Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA), the driver-centric premium supercar manufacturer, will take centre stage at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed as the Central Feature Marque, celebrating six decades of groundbreaking design and engineering by its founder and Executive Chairman, Professor Gordon Murray CBE.
The event will be a tribute to Professor Murray’s illustrious career, spanning from 1965 to the present, showcasing his pioneering approach to lightweighting, aerodynamics, and driving perfection. The heart of the celebration will be a striking sculpture on the lawn outside Goodwood House, reflecting the influence of Murray’s visionary work on the world of automotive design.
“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,” said Professor Gordon Murray. “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.”
Showcasing a Legacy of Automotive Excellence
Throughout the Festival of Speed, GMA will present an unparalleled collection of both contemporary and historic vehicles, illustrating the evolution of Murray’s automotive philosophy. The GMA T.50, T.50s Niki Lauda, T.33, and T.33 Spider will be on display alongside iconic road and race cars that have shaped his six-decade career.
The Festival will also witness the highly anticipated unveiling of GMA’s newest supercar, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to creating high-performance, driver-focused machines that exemplify engineering artistry and purity.
Phillip Lee, CEO of Gordon Murray Group, expressed the company’s pride in being part of Goodwood’s celebrated history: “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.”
A Must-See Celebration at Goodwood
GMA’s presence at the Festival will extend beyond the Central Feature, with displays across multiple locations, including the Supercar Paddock and a dedicated heritage showcase on the Goodwood Cricket Pitch. Enthusiasts will have the rare opportunity to witness the full spectrum of Murray’s automotive legacy, from legendary race cars to modern supercars that push the boundaries of performance and innovation.
