It hasn’t even been three years since the with its howling were introduced to the world, but the has officially entered production.

The announcement came via a tweet on the saying “A milestone moment for the programme: less than two-and-a-half years since the supercar was revealed, Professor Gordon Murray CBE signs the carbon-fibre monocoque of the very first customer car to mark the beginning of assembly.” The tweet also shows a video of the moment, and may I just say, Murray has a lovely signature.

“Designing and engineering the T.50 has been an incredible journey with much of the initial work completed during lockdown, so to witness the engineering art of the first customer car’s carbon-fiber monocoque ready for assembly, less than two-and-a-half years since reveal, is quite magical,”

We’ve covered the T.50 a lot of the past couple of years. It’ll be hand-built at the young automaker’s facility in Dunsfold, England — the site of the test track. Just 100 of the $3 million cars will be built, and I’ve got some bad news. If you’re reading this story and you don’t already have a T.50 allocation, you missed your chance. They’re all already spoken for.

Each T.50 will be highly unique and customized to pretty much whatever the owner wants. In fact, the automaker says no two cars will have the exact same exterior paint color.

While everything about this car is extreme, from the lightweight building materials to the center-seat configuration, the heart of the car is its . It pumps out 653 horsepower and 344 lb-ft of torque. All that power is routed through an Xtrac six-speed manual transmission. You can really think of it as a McLaren F1 for the modern age, and it makes sense considering Murray was the engineer behind the F1.

With development of the T.50 done, GMA will now turn its attention to . That car will carry the same V12 as the T.50, but it’s supposed to be a bit easier to live with. It’ll also be a bargain at just $1.85 million. Oh, it must be so good to be rich.
