A new era for GMA

Gordon Murray Automotive has announced a $120 million strategic investment from Halo Cars Group, securing the long-term legacy of the company and reinforcing its commitment to engineering artistry.

The investment will enable Gordon Murray Automotive and its newly launched Special Vehicles division to advance the product roadmap already in place and deliver existing models currently in development. Professor Gordon Murray CBE will continue in his role as Chairman and Chief Designer, while existing CFO Darren Jukes will take on the interim CEO role as part of the investment.

Halo Cars Group’s investment follows the world record breaking sale of the Gordon Murray S1 LM at RM Sotheby’s Las Vegas auction last month, where the car achieved a $20.63 million price. This marked the highest non charity auction price ever achieved for a new car.

Tarik Ouass and JR Rahn, Managing Partners of the Halo Cars Group, said: “This is not an investment in scale, but in further scarcity. Our investment mandate is the complete opposite of a conventional growth investment in automotive.”

History in the making

Professor Gordon Murray CBE, Chairman and Chief Designer, said: “Gordon Murray Automotive has always been a very exclusive family, reflected both in our team and in the customers who support us. I am confident that I have found the right partners who value our seven principles and will support my legacy moving forward.”

Professor Gordon Murray’s sixty-year design and engineering legacy spans motorcars that have secured five Formula One World Championships with some of the greatest drivers of all time, including Ayrton Senna, Niki Lauda and Alain Prost.
