Gordon Murray Automotive torture tests the T.50 hypercar:
deployment systems know how to tell one extreme circumstance from another, so the bag deploys in a crash instead of when the T.50 is launched into a gravel pile. Yep, that's real. The T.50 was run at nearly 20 miles an hour into — and then up — a seven-foot pile of rocks. We have no idea what the test is meant to simulate but the T.50 aced it, beaching itself over the crest, its airbag un-deployed.
The other challenges drew a more direct line to real-world driving. There's a 37-mph dash over Belgian cobblestones and another at the same speed over a speed bump, a simulated pothole strike for"anyone who has the misfortune of driving on UK roads," and a mad dash over a fake railway crossing. The ramp test sends the 2,173-pound, 654-hp coupe flying off a 10-inch ramp at 43 miles per hour.
The man behind the machine clearly hasn't forgotten how to design fast cars that protect their drivers. If Murray had given the T.50 a bit more ground clearance, it might make a decent bug-out ride for anyone who knows how to travel
