372:, a wing or an aggressive aerodynamic design are considered ineffective in providing further downforce and are thus considered negligible, allowing a free form and flowing exterior design. The T.50 does make use of active aero spoilers however, that operate in conjunction with the aerodynamic fan. The active aero and fan functionality of the car is dependent on the driver selected mode which is provided in six presets made available in the cockpit of the car. The fan assisted aero design allows for a 30% increase in downforce when a 'high downforce' mode is selected, channelling air through aero ducts perpendicular to the airflow underneath the car, providing a high suction ground effect. Furthermore, under braking the T.50 provides 100% additional downforce by extending the active spoilers to a 45-degree angle of attack and utilising diffuser ducts. The T.50 can also achieve reductions in drag by selecting the specialised mode presets of 'streamline' and 'Vmax' modes, allowing for a 12.5% reduction in overall drag.

418:, each with a price of ÂŁ3.1 million (before taxes). It has reduced its weight by 134 kg giving the car a weight of under 900kg. Additions include a 1784mm wide delta wing on the rear, underbody aerofoil, new front splitter and adjustable diffusers which give the car 1200kg of downforce, with an optional high-downforce kit to increase it to 1500kgs. The engine has its power boosted to 772ps, an aero fin is added which extends from the roof to the rear of the car and the underbody diffuser ducts are fully opened with the fan permanently running at 7000rpm.
364:, this in turn creates substantial turbulent or semi-stalled air passing over the diffuser when the T.50 has its fan inactive. By utilising the integrated aerodynamic fan, the T.50 can suck the air under the car at a 90-degree angle and provide a significant increase in overall downforce as it provides a laminar flow of air passing over the rear diffuser, thus, creating a greater level of suction in tandem with the

As a result of the T.50âs fan-assisted aerodynamic design, the need for any aerodynamic package on the front or rear of the T.50, such as a

The T.50 addresses many of the design and engineering inadequacies of the 90s supercar, many of those the result of period design practices and time and budget constraints enforced by McLaren. As recorded by Murray "the spine is 50 mm too wide, the headlamps are like glow worms in a jar, the

The T.50 achieves a dry weight of 987 kg (2,176 lb), making it lighter than the vast majority of vehicles in its class, with the naturally aspirated V12 weighing only 178 kg (392 lb), and the chassis is 30 kg (66 lb) lighter than the McLaren F1. As a result, the T.50

The car has been noted for its numerous similarities to the McLaren F1, produced between 1992 and 1998, which Gordon Murray conceptualised and co-designed. The T.50 has been described by Gordon Murray
Automotive as being the "spiritual successor to the Murray-devised McLaren F1". The T.50 shares
