Gordon Murray has unveiled the S1, an analog-style supercar built around a naturally aspirated V12 paired with a six-speed manual transmission. The company presents it as a modern tribute to the spirit of the McLaren F1, combining classic driving hardware with contemporary engineering.
Both outlets describe the S1’s focus on traditional driver involvement, including manual gearbox operation and analog controls rather than a heavily digitized experience. Carscoops emphasizes the car’s classic styling cues and frames the vehicle as a “loving tribute” to the original McLaren F1. BMW Blog similarly highlights the S1’s BMW-powered V12 and positions the model as reviving the BMW-linked McLaren F1 Formula heritage, though it leans more toward the engine and powertrain connection.
