GMSV launches two limited-run cars at Monterey
GMSV reveals the S1 LM and Le Mans GTR, showcasing manual V12 power and bespoke engineering at Monterey Car Week.

GMSV shows two limited models at Monterey Car Week, led by the S1 LM homage to the F1 LM and a Le Mans GTR.
GMSV unveils five-car homage to F1 LM at Monterey
At Monterey Car Week, Gordon Murray Automotive unveiled the first two models from Gordon Murray Special Vehicles, a division focused on one-off commissions, limited editions and heritage-inspired projects. The S1 LM is a five-unit homage to the F1 LM, designed to emphasize exclusivity, beauty, and driving perfection. It features a 4.3-litre V12 delivering more than 700 hp, a package made possible by removing the rear fan and oil cooling, and lighter internals that let the engine rev to high speeds. The case uses a manual gearbox with an optimized linkage inspired by the T.50 and a bespoke suspension paired with a carbon aero package to deliver a sharp, road-legal driving experience.
Key Takeaways
"Longtail racing cars perfectly combine aerodynamic benefit and aesthetic balance. I’ve always loved their mix of considered engineering and flowing design. Our Le Mans GTR timelessly reimagines the longtail racers I’ve admired since I began designing cars, adding contemporary aerodynamics and our exquisitely engineered chassis, engine, and transmission."
Murray on the GTR's design philosophy
The two-model debut signals a strategic push toward high-end, driver-focused engineering rather than broad-volume sales. GMSV leans into the language of rarity, craftsmanship and performance, promising a new chapter for the brand. The emphasis on manual gear shifts, lightweight construction and bespoke chassis work caters to enthusiasts who value tactile feedback over raw numbers.
Highlights
- Limited machines, limitless appeal
- Lightweight design, heavy on emotion
- Engineering art in motion
- Road legal, track ready by design
The next chapter will reveal how these limited-run projects influence GMSV’s broader strategy.
