Gordon Murray S1 LM McLaren F1 GTR
Thirty years ago the McLaren F1 GTR won the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, a race it wasn’t even designed to enter. Gordon Murray the mastermind behind that car had designed the F1 as the ultimate road car but a few persistent customers and a bit of racing magic turned it into a legend. Fast forward to 2025, and Murray’s back with the S1 LM, a road legal supercar that channels the spirit of that Le Mans win.

A crimson landscape that resembles Mars’ surface can be found in a rural area in Germany. Jonny Kim, a NASA astronaut aboard the International Space Station, leaned into a custom interface, his hands on a joystick and a haptic device, preparing to lead a team of robots in this foreign environment. The Surface Avatar project, a collaboration between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR), concluded with this session. What exactly is the goal? To perfect astronauts’ ability to control robotic teams on far away worlds like the Moon or Mars from orbit.
