To celebrate what would have been Niki Lauda's 72nd birthday, legendary Formula One designer Gordon Murray has named his latest car design after the three-time world champion.
Murray, who now runs Gordon Murray Automobiles (GMA), has set his sights on creating the ultimate driver's car and the result is two-fold: the remarkable road-going T.50 and utterly-mind-blowing, track-only T.50s Niki Lauda.
Murray's engineering genius was responsible for some of F1's most iconic cars, including the Brabham BT46B, which featured a fan at the rear of the car designed to extract air from underneath it and significantly enhance the car's ground-effect aerodynamics.
