A recent video showcasing the McMurtry Spéirling has emerged online, featuring the British hypercar in action at the Dubai Autodrome. The car’s acceleration off the line can be best described as explosive, leaving spectators in awe. The Spéirling managed a remarkable 0-60 mph time of just 1.4 seconds and completed a quarter-mile run in 7.97 seconds.
Introduction to the McMurtry Spéirling
Despite hailing from a relatively lesser-known brand, the McMurtry Spéirling has garnered attention for its record-breaking feat at the Goodwood Hill Climb. This all-electric hypercar boasting 1,000 HP set a new record on its debut run. Although currently designed for track-use only, the manufacturer has hinted at an upcoming road-legal version.
Driven by Max Chilton, the Spéirling conquered the hill climb in an impressive 39.08 seconds, surpassing the previous record set by the Volkswagen ID.R race car at 39.90 seconds.
Built to LMP1 standards, the Spéirling features a carbon fibre monocoque with crash protection, emphasizing its racecar DNA. The car offers a distinctively low seating arrangement with a reclined back and upright leg posture, providing a unique driving experience.
The Innovative Dual Fan System of the McMurtry Spéirling
A standout feature of the Spéirling contributing to its exceptional track performance is its dual fan system, which enhances downforce as needed. This hypercar boasts unparalleled cornering capabilities, with fans capable of spinning at speeds of up to 23,000 rpm, generating an impressive 4,000 lbs of downforce. By utilizing this innovative technology, the Spéirling excels in cornering stability.
The Advanced Powertrain of the McMurtry Spéirling
Equipped with dual electric motors in the rear, the British hypercar is powered by a 60 kWh battery pack, propelling the rear wheels. The manufacturer claims an 80% charge in just 15 minutes using a 200 kW fast charger and boasts a range of 300 miles. While offering full-throttle performance for a single lap, the Spéirling can operate at a GT4 pace for up to 20 minutes of track time before requiring a cooldown period.
