The Gordon Murray Le Mans GTR has made its global dynamic debut at the 2026 Le Mans Classic, giving enthusiasts their first glimpse of the limited-run supercar in action on the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe.
Driven by Dario Franchitti, the Le Mans GTR XP1 completed demonstration laps in heritage racing green, showcasing its dramatic longtail design and naturally aspirated Cosworth V12 that revs to an astonishing 12,100rpm.
Inspired by Gordon Murray’s iconic Le Mans racers, the Le Mans GTR combines endurance-racing aerodynamics with road-going usability. It features a six-speed manual gearbox, lightweight construction, and an entirely reworked platform focused on delivering a pure driver experience.
The event also celebrated Gordon Murray’s remarkable motorsport legacy. Professor Gordon Murray himself waved the French tricolour flag to officially start the Le Mans Classic race after a special parade of Murray-designed cars.
The demonstration featured an impressive collection spanning more than six decades of racing and road cars, including:
Production of the Le Mans GTR will be limited to 24 units, with every example already spoken for. Customer deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2027.
The company also confirmed it will head to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the Le Mans GTR will join several V12-powered Gordon Murray models on the famous hillclimb.
