Gordon Murray's T.33 Supercar: Manual Only, High RPM, and Spider Variant Added.

Gordon Murray admits it was "stupid" to offer a six-speed paddle-shifting transmission on the T.33 coupe, as only "three or four" people ordered it. The option was intended to broaden the car's appeal, but it would have ended up being the world's most expensive option. Murray explains that two of the people who ordered it did so out of necessity, due to problems with their clutch leg. The T.33 Spider will only be offered with a six-speed manual transmission.
