The engine

3.9L NA V12

Naturally Aspirated 3.9L V12

This bespoke naturally-aspirated V12 is all about response and sound, snapping from idle to its screaming redline almost instantly with a high-strung, race-bred voice and no turbo softening the edges.

Designed and built by Cosworth to Gordon Murray's brief for the T.50 and T.33, it was conceived by the engineer behind the McLaren F1 as a modern spiritual successor to that car's V12.

With a 12,100 rpm redline it is the highest-revving production road-car engine ever made.
The whole engine weighs only about 178 kg, exceptionally light for a V12, helping keep the T.50 under a tonne dry.
It can spin from idle to its redline in roughly 0.3 seconds, a throttle response figure normally reserved for racing engines.
