The McLaren F1 is still the fastest naturally aspirated car in the world. Even if it’s only for that reason alone, when Gordon Murray gets up and starts talking about a new project, we listen. Now is one of those moments as his company, Gordon Murray Design, is apparently cooking up a budget mid-engine supercar that weighs 1,873 pounds and is powered by a turbocharged, three-cylinder engine from Ford – one that’s capable of 215 horsepower.

The news that the man behind McLaren’s first proper road car, the Brabham BT46B ’Fan Car,’ and many others is working on an affordable sports car isn’t new. In fact, the now-72-year-old designer first outlined plans for the car that would be released under his IGM brand back in 2017. Now, almost two years later, we’ve got news on the state of this project as well as another highly anticipated one.
