Phillip Lee, the CEO of Gordon Murray Group, along with Dario Franchitti MBE, a renowned racing driver and GMA's Executive Product and Brand Director, will be present to engage with customers and fans. Their participation underlines the importance of the Saudi Arabian market to GMA, as Lee emphasizes the honour of showcasing their cars and brand in the region for the first time.

Highlight on the T.50

The T.50 on display is the final 'Production Series' model, serving as a validation step before the commencement of customer car production. Its 'Bespoke Rio Blue' colour and advanced aerodynamics, including a 400 mm rear-mounted fan, underscore its unique offering in the supercar segment. Notably, the T.50 combines thrilling performance with practicality, providing 295 litres of luggage space accessible via gullwing openings.
