Any idea why so few magazine reviews so far?

Probably doesn't need the media attention.

Must all be sold and the owners know what they're getting without reading a magazine.

It would still be great for a few of the specialist road testers to drive and review it i.e. Harry M Henry C and Chris Hsmile

T50 customer cars also seem to have stalled?

There have been reviews of the Valkyrie already. Possibly not with the T50, sadly.

It is up to a generous owner to lend to a magazine

Cars have not been delivered yet. They're being held up with certification issues I believe.

What an impressive coup to get the F1 and T50 together for a video - Henry is one of the best for the job too. The T.50 is an awesome piece of engineering and that engine is just: WOW. I just wish the wee thing looked better, the design just isn't cohesive or emotive for me both in media form and in person.

Love the video.

If someone had asked me what the ideal T.50 review would be, it would be Henry Catchpole driving on a sunny mountain road with an F1 alongside. I'm so glad that Gordon Murray had the same opinion smile

I expected more fan admiration. Especially on serpentines, that he will turn on the downforce. I don't know what’s the meaning when they mention it only as noise.

The fact that I sat through the 7!! advert breaks in a 30 minute video did 2 things,

Firstly it reinforced why I never normally watch online content (this was the first in years)
Secondly it confirmed just how good those 2 cars are, how much I want a T.50 and how much Henry has matured in the years since he first started writing for Evo.

That is a good film and what a fabulous thing.I agree with his point about the quality of all the details - similar ethos in its way to the original Ettore.

My interest in modern super/hypercars has ebbed away but this, and the T33, mark an honourable exception.

Weird. No adverts when I watched it.

Absolutely fantastic video. T50 has gone straight to number 1 in my fantasy garage. No queation. It’s a high watermark for drivers that value tactility, quality, engineering excellence and a symphony of an engine that will surely go down as an all time great. GOAT-ness is written all over the T50. The essence of motoring.
