NEW World's Fastest Car!

Looks like a miniature Batmobile, sounds like a TIE fighter from Star Wars, goes like the absolute clappers. The McMurtry Spéirling – last seen kicking up dust and shredding hillclimb records at the Goodwood Festival of Speed – has been tinkered with and is now available to buy for a cool £984k.

The new Spéirling Pure comes with all the goodies Max Chilton deployed at Goodwood. That means a twin-electric-motor setup powered by a 60kWh battery system detonating 745kW of electrons (or a nice, round 1,000bhp) on the rear axle.

Together with a “patented downforce on demand system” and a scarcely believable kerbweight of under 1,000kg, this thing is capable of serious numbers. Not just 190mph flat out, but also the fact it’ll pull 3G through the corners and be able to lap Silverstone 10 times at proper flat-out pace, then recharge in 20 minutes to do it all over again.

Top Gear Magazine’s Jack Rix reveals all the details and catches up with Ex-F1 and McMurtry Development Driver Max Chilton on his insane Goodwood Hillclimb record run.

I know Max said it wasn’t designed to be a hillclimb car… but I can’t help but imagine this thing smashing the Pikes Peak record.

[vietnameseloempia]

This car and company is one of the most exciting things in automotive in the last decades. And such a skilled and well-spoken driver and overall great ambassador in Max. Literally anything on Youtube about this car, company, and team, I immediately click. What a blast!

11:06 The Marshall at the front waves his arms as if to say “Wait… where’d he go??” 🤣

[imliterallyjustjake]

It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen a car and constantly desired it and wanted to own one. I’ll never have that opportunity but I saw it once on video, and cannot stress how much I love this thing already

[SundbyCPH]

Edit: It has come to my attention that the value @0:24 might not be the avg. speed as I would expect. The actual avg speed should be (3600/39.08)×1.16=106.85 mph=171.92 kph.

[crfsikness]

Not only is it bad ass fast it looks amazing too! Such a sick unit!

[cscheid]

I must say, the new body work looks incredible, especially the exaggerated flare on the rear with those wheels, incredible

[markc]

On the video watch the Marshal jump when the car just disappears from the start line. I remember watching it live and laughed so much. Having been a Marshal I’ve had a few moments like that in the past.

[AlbertLamarque]

If I had this as a commuter car I would either arrive at work much faster or back at home preparing for the next stint. What a machine.

[reyalPRON]

they way he starts to pant when breathing as soon as max arrives is just precious? he becomes a small child and cant curb his enthusiasm like a professional. i love it! and he just keeps nodding as max speaks and fiddles about. top notch this

[eamonshields]

Absolutely Incredible Machine. Well Done.

[davidb]

Very nice to get the run description from Max. What an amazing engineering feat this car represents, hope I get to see one some day.

[JasonX]

This things is absolutely mad as a bag of spiders. I love what they did with the track car, so this will be interesting.

[stainedsteel]

"Squeaky-bum time" is my new favorite phrase!

[aarongreenfield]

Sub 1 million actually seems good value, especially compared to the 2+ million road hypercars you get these days.

[stevestogsdill]

Watching the video of this machine launch off the starting line at Goodwood it looked like someone just edited a still shot and a rolling full-tilt start. It was sitting there one second and the next it was rocketing past. It looked like the car hit top speed in the first centimeter. Unbelievable!

[stevenluigi]

We need to see this back for carwow coz having raised the top speed to 190 it will kill the rimac and anything else even in a rolling race!

[seanc]

The launch is what rly blew me away..it was absolutely astonishing

[dc]

if Top Gear comes back, I would want this put round the test track. Even if the show turns out to be mediocre as it has been since 2016, I'd still love to see this little thing smash records

[DPCcars]

Just picturing this beast tearing up Pikes Peak gives me chills! And pairing it with Misha on the Nurburgring? Pure adrenaline! Who else agrees? 👍🏎💨
