The McMurtry Spéirling is a car that intrigued people when it broke the Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb record last year. Following this the vehicle attracted quite a fan following among enthusiasts. However, owning one was impossible as the company didn’t offer a production version on sale for the longest time, until now. The company has finally revealed a production version of the track-only electric hypercar called the Spéirling Pure which it claims is even more mental than the initial car.

The car's 60-kWh battery can be charged in just 20 minutes
The Spéirling Pure is a track-only, electric hypercar that measures just 3.45 metres long, 1.58 metres wide, with a height of 1.02 metres. Built on a carbon fibre monocoque chassis, its kerb weight stands at less than 1000 kg, with a peak power output of 1000 bhp achieving a nearly 1:1 power-to-weight ratio (bhp to kg). The company states that it has been working on the car over the past year, and now gets a new fan system with improved efficiency, a revised chassis and suspension, a new battery, along with a host of other weight-saving upgrades. As a result, the acceleration, although not revealed is reportedly lower than the initial car, which went from 0 to 60 mph (96 kmph) in just 1.4 seconds. Other features include a 60-kWh battery with a charging time of just 20 minutes, the pedals and a steering wheel can be adjusted to fit someone as tall as 6 feet and 7 inches, and 18-inch wheels with even wider tyres, than last year’s prototype.

McMurtry states it will produce just 100 production-ready examples of this track-only electric car, with pre-production prototypes to be showcased in 2024, and deliveries starting in 2025. And the price? Just over £820,000 (Rs 8.5 crore) + taxes, making this car a pipe dream for many enthusiasts out there.
