Is this in any way related to "Gordon Murray Design", which has been promising a "revolutionary" city car and supercar concept since 2007? Has this guy actually done anything tangible since the mid-90s, or is he just trading on his F1 cred?

I love the 'just ' . I wonder sometimes just what motivates asinine comments like this . One of the best ever designers in F1 at Brabham and McLaren , the man who knocked up a DFV engined Le Mans contender as a side project to the day job , the man who carried on the Chapman 'added lightness' legacy, the guy who designed the original and best hypercar (which also won Le Mans despite not being designed as a racer) , the guy who created the template for the ultra light bike engined track/sports car and now has revitalised TVR ? And at 71 is still working hard to produce new stuff ? Not a bad CV in my book- what's on yours I wonder ?

It's hardly "asinine" to say that he's been doing nothing but producing hot air for almost two decades, with almost no product to speak of. That isn't to play down his significant success in the past, but it's all a bit... samey.

Is GM still milking that 25 year old F1 teat, has he got a book or christmas record coming out?
