Gordon Murray’s New Cars Are So F1 It Hurts
Gordon Murray releases two new inside and extremely limited models inspired by the McLaren F1 GTR.

To make the most of the summer sunshine, here are eight of the most colourful supercars we found on the market right now.
2010 | 35,630 Miles | £134,995
Arancio Borealis
Is Arancio Borealis the brightest orange in the world? No, but it’s on a Lambo, with a stripe, and it’s one of 250 Balboni models produced worldwide. That means its V10 engine note and rear-wheel-drive chassis is about as wild as its colour scheme.
If you offered me any Lambo, I think this would be it (preferably with a manual, but how picky can you be when choosing between unicorns?). The front axle being left to do nothing but turn the wheels improved the steering feel and of course gave a wonderfully playful rear end with 550 razor sharp horses to deal with.
Given their rarity, these are still at relatively sensible money when they occasionally come up for sale. For how much longer? Who knows, but it’s nice to see this one has been enjoyed with a few miles under its belt too, leaving more room for you to put more on and enjoy it.
2019 | 12,696 Miles | £182,490
Lizard Green
You’re never going to fly under the radar in a car that looks like it should be battling it out at Le Mans, so why not paint it in the brightest green you can possibly think of? Oh, and while you’re at it, why not make your seats, stitching and air vents that same green?
The spec of this RS really is the definition of go bold or go home, and if you don’t mind the thought of people perhaps noticing you as you drive down the road, it’s just mega. The 991 is a bit of a sweet spot in terms of performance, tech and size, and this one is loaded with options right down to extended leather on the steering column, and on bits of the dashboard you’ll hardly ever see — no expense spared.
2021 | 5,150 Miles | £349,995
MSO Fistral Blue
Here we have a car that looks as wild as Ronnie Kray after a few whiskies in any colour, but paint it in a bold hue like MSO Fistral Blue, and it probably still looks mean on Google satellite view. Just teetering on the edge of too much, I think the 765LT is one of the most striking, stunning supercars on sale, and the driving experience is more than a match for the look.
765hp really doesn’t tell the full story. The turbocharged torque and the way the power comes in with one big wallop as the rear end clings on for dear life make this one of the wildest cars I’ve ever driven. I’m usually a naturally-aspirated die-hard, but this thing is just breathtaking.
If you’re looking at something like a Ferrari SF90 for your weekend thrills, do yourself a favour and have a go in one of these first.
2024 | 157 Miles | £259,991
Giallo Inti
Buying a Lamborghini that’s essentially made for off-road rallying is a bold move to begin with, but most of them I’ve seen have been in more subdued colours, which I admit works, but if that’s not your style, this is absolutely not subdued.
Finished in Giallo Inti Pearl which contrasts so well with all the black off road arches, trim and wheels, it’s a Lambo through and through — just one dreamed up by a five-year-old who thinks it’s reasonable to drive a Lambo accross the Sahara. That’s something I’m sure you could absolutely do, but let’s be honest, not many Sterratos will set foot off of tarmac, but that’s where it excels too.
Owners seem to love the Sterrato for the way it takes the lumps and bumps of UK B roads and spits them out like they were hardly there. It’s much more supple than any other Huracan, meaning it’s more stable, and you’re not worried about scraping your front end on any dips either. For something that initially seems like a silly idea, the Sterrato makes a lot of sense.
2016 | 1,750 Miles | £139,950
Ultra Blue Metallic
Whilst Ultra Blue Metallic is certainly bright and striking, it’s the combination of car and colour that earned the Project 7 a place on this list. With 250 cars worldwide and just 80 in the UK, it takes the joint medal for rarest car here, and if you’re into your snarling V8s, this one is most certainly for you.
Its supercharged five-litre V8 puts out 575hp through the rear wheels with a plume of tyre smoke and a roar to rival God’s best thunder. You’ve got quilted leather bucket seats with harnesses, a Project 7 Race Helmet, and SVO racing decals on the bonnet, in case a bright blue convertible with a hump inspired by the D-Type wasn’t quite bold enough.
2022 | 2,313 Miles | £169,991
PTS Ruby Star
The GT3 Touring is a great option for those who want all the 9,000rpm madness and track-smashing performance of the big-winged GT3, but in a less obvious, more under-the-radar package. That is, until you paint it pink...
This car is finished in Paint to Sample Ruby Star, not to be mistaken with the almost idential Ruby Star Neo which is now a more widely available choice on the Porsche palette. Inspired by Rubystone Red which many 964 RS models wore, you love it or hate it, but it just seems to work on 911s.
On top of the colour, GT3s typically come with a black interior, with your only options to add a splash of colour being the likes of the seat belts, stitching and dials. This car has an Exclusive Manufaktur interior to ensure the inside doesn’t let the outside down.
2015 | 10,437 Miles | £699,995
Giallo Triplo Strato
One of the brightest launch specs I can recall, the Speciale Aperta looks just right in Giallo Triplo Strato (triple-layer yellow) with the Blu Nart and Bianco Avus Racing Livery, which extends over the rear decklid.
I had a wonderful summer’s drive in one of these a few year’s ago, and thought it was one of the great driving experiences you can have on the road, it’s just a shame the values put people off driving them.
This car has been owned by a Supercar Driver member from new, and whilst 10,000 miles might not sound like much, when you have a collection of cars to choose from, I’d say it has been enjoyed as it should be, and it’s proof you don’t need to leave your car parked in a garage yearround for it to be worth anything!
2016 | 19,197 Miles | £179,950
Napier Green
One of the best driving supercars on the planet, and still criminally undervalued in my eyes. The eye-popping launch colour of Napier Green works so well, and if the 765LT is bordering on too much, the 675LT is sheer perfection, again, in my eyes. It’s one of the most vivid colours you’re likely to see on a car, and it just works on the 675.
Performance is outrageous. Just as with its appearance, as great as it is, the 765LT is getting on for too much. The 675LT is still absolutely nutty, don’t get me wrong, but it’s that bit less deadly, that bit more exploitable, and given there are only 500 in the world, I can’t quite understand why anyone with the means isn’t buying one right now.
