The Sound, Grip, Acceleration, Aesthetics and Technology of this car are Distinct.

By breaking the outright hill record at Goodwood, a contemporary fan vehicle showed its performance potential and made automotive history in the process. Owning the McMurtry Spéirling PURE, one of the world's most extreme, no-rules track cars, allows you to possess a development of that record-breaking machine.

Its ideal environment is on racing tracks, where McMurtry's custom fan downforce system allows drivers a significant improvement in usable grip. By consistently and approachably producing downforce independent of speed, it opens up a new sensation. Yaw angle or wind direction also have no effect on it. The goal of the under-1000-kilogram driver's vehicle is to consistently deliver some of the most memorable and talked-about laps of a person's efforts on a race track.

Directional shifts become more frequent. The swift but entertaining platform heightens the senses and encourages drivers to push themselves further than they previously imagined possible. Redefining the braking and turn-in locations. Better traction opens up additional operational spaces to explore on the track. Driving has reached a new level.

The low- and medium-speed corners, where drivers spend the most of their track time, are where the downforce-on-demand technology benefits drivers the most. Owners of the Spéirling PURE will have access to the G forces experienced in professional racing since some of the most challenging turns on Grand Prix Circuits, such as "The Loop" and "Village" at Silverstone and the fabled Monaco hairpin, may be cornered at over 3G.

To truly cut through the air on its way to a top speed of 190mph, and to optimise energy consumption, the streamlined body shape is vital. The driver is the lowest and tallest point of the vehicle, which minimises the frontal area. Batteries are arranged in a U-shape beneath the driver's knees and between the wheels. As a result, the frontal area of the car may continue to be more similar to the classically designed grand prix racers of the 1960s, at 1.02m tall and 1.58m wide (3.45m long).

The 270mm front and 300mm rear section lengths of the 18" tyres fill the arches with a commanding attitude. Total track dominance is ensured when paired with the revolutionary downforce-on-demand technology. The system's intellectual property protection makes McMurtry the current steward of this historical advantage.

Powertrain system performance and economy are adjusted to give average lap speeds never previously seen on numerous circuits, while run duration and charge time are maximised. The Spéirling PURE is suitable for premium track programmes like the GT1 Sports Club, for which the rhythm of driving and charging time works well. The baseline performance of the car includes 10 circuits at lap record speed at Silverstone National, followed by a 20-minute fast charge to resume operation. The vehicle could be able to run even faster for a shorter qualifying simulation, which is tantalising.

There will only be 100 units produced. Deliveries will be made to current deposit holders in 2025.

In 2023, the validation prototype will continue to undergo testing as a record-breaking effort is pursued in the UK and Europe. Pre-production prototypes will come next in 2024, and manufacturing will commence in 2025 after that.
