F1

The car's basic architecture reads almost as a manifesto. A carbon fibre monocoque, the first fitted to a road car, carried a mid mounted naturally aspirated V12 through a conventional six speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels alone. There was no all wheel drive, no forced induction, no power assistance of any kind for the steering or brakes, and no electronic intervention whatsoever between the driver's inputs and the car's behaviour. Murray's stated target was a kerb weight under 1,000 kilograms; the production car came in heavier than that ambition but still remarkably light for its performance envelope, at roughly 1,138 kilograms dry. The central driving position was not a styling flourish. Murray borrowed it directly from single seater racing, reasoning that a driver seated on the car's centreline, rather than offset to one side, had a truer sense of the vehicle's limits and a symmetrical view of the road ahead. Two passenger seats sat slightly behind and to either side, close enough to converse with the driver but never obstructing the driving position itself. Production ran from 1992 to 1998 across several distinct variants, most built to road specification and a smaller number built or converted for competition. Roughly 106 examples exist across the entire family, a number so small that the car functioned less as a commercial product and more as an engineering statement that happened to be sold to a handful of people who could afford to own it.
