After a teaser last week and a long development phase, the production version of the McMurtry Spéirling Pure electric track car has been revealed ahead of the first deliveries commencing later this year. Now even more capable than the pre-production models that set numerous records like the quickest ever run at the Goodwood Hill Climb, the Spéirling Pure is so fast that it’s been described as “like driving on fast forward.”

The first version of the Spéirling originally debuted at the 2021 Goodwood Festival of Speed and in 2022 set the record for the hill climb at just 39.08 seconds. Since then, it’s set more lap records, including at the Top Gear Test Track at just 55.9 seconds — or, around four seconds faster than the previous record holder, a Renault F1 car — and beat a Mercedes-AMG One around Hockenheim by over 14 seconds.

The Spéirling has also driven upside down, a feat completed thanks to its ‘Downforce-on-Demand’ system that’s basically a vacuum on the rear axle. Because of that, it generates a massive 2000kg of downforce and can reach up to 3g in corners and under braking, according to its maker. It’s this feature that allows it to stick to the road and punch out such incredible performance numbers and fast times.

Using a twin-motor electric set up making 1000bhp (746kW) of power, the Spéirling Pure sprints to 100km/h in just 1.6 seconds and on to a top speed of around 306km/h (190mph).

The other statistics are equally as impressive: The Spéirling Pure weighs 1350kg (kerb), can be charged at up to 350kW for a full charge in around 20 minutes with a full charge lasting around 48km at LMP2 driving pace and can even fit somebody who’s six foot seven tall.

Compared to the pre-production models, the production Spéirling Pure uses a larger 100kWh battery and to accommodate it, an 80mm-longer body with a redesigned carbon fibre monocoque.

Because of the longer body, there’s now also more cabin space with more storage space for a helmet, while the company has also integrated lighting and easier access for servicing. According to McMurtry, around 95 per cent of its components are new compared to pre-production examples.

Pricing for the McMurtry Spéirling Pure in the UK starts at the equivalent of around A$1.9 million before options, and the company reportedly has over 25 orders already. Australian prospects are unknown, but we’re hoping to see one lapping — and no doubt setting records — at circuits like Phillip Island soon.
