Only 100 electric McMurtry Spéirling Pure supercars that are ready for the track and cost more than $1 million each will be made. The Spéirling broke a record on its first run at the Goodwood Hill Climb last year. It has two fans connected to the back, making many downforce. The Spéirling is less than 2205 pounds and is smaller than a Chevrolet Spark, but it still has 999 horsepower. Last year, everyone was surprised when McMurtry Spéirling went up the famous Goodwood Hill Climb in 39.08 seconds, a new lap record. The British car company will now produce 100 copies of the tiny electric race car. The model made based on what the customer wanted is called the Spéirling Pure, which was released before this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed. The Spéirling Pure still can only be driven on a track, even though it has two electric motors—one for each rear wheel—that add up to 999 horsepower. McMurtry says the Pure is 135.8 inches long, 10.0 inches longer than the original prototype. However, it is still more than 7 inches shorter than the tiny Chevy Spark, which weighs less than 2205 pounds. Even though the Spéirling is only 40.2 inches tall and 62.2 inches wide, the legs and steering wheel can be changed to fit drivers up to 6’7″ tall and 330 pounds. McMurtry says that the Spéirling can go up to 190 mph, but the car is best known for how well it turns. The supercar has two electric engines behind the driver’s seat, and the front tires are 275 mm wide, and the back tires are 300 mm wide. McMurtry hasn’t given an exact number for the Pure, but the company says that its “downforce-on-demand fan system” lets it get three g’s when turning at “accessible speeds.” These fans made about 4,400 pounds of downforce when the original prototype was still. The Pure should do better than it did on its own The maker says that Pure will do better than the Goodwood record-holder. The Spéirling is made to go around real race tracks more than once before it needs to be charged. McMurtry didn’t say how the 60 kWh battery needs to be charged, but he said it is built into the carbon-fibre monocoque and can be set in 20 minutes. In 2024, McMurtry will start making pre-production prototypes; in 2025, the first cars will be delivered. The 100 units will cost well over a million dollars at the present exchange rate. Spéirling Pure owners will be able to join the GT1 Sports Club. This battle for supercars occurs during SRO GT World Challenge race weekends at tracks worldwide.
