The Goodwood-record-breaking McMurtry Spéirling electric fan car will in 2025 spawn a 1000bhp single-seater available to the public
Combined with a more efficient e-axle that gives the rear wheels 1000bhp, plus a kerb weight of less than 1000kg, this means the car can do 0-62mph in 1.5sec and continue to a top speed of 190mph.
Power is drawn from a cockpit-wrapping 60kWh battery, which is 15% lighter than the previous car’s – showing that electric performance cars needn't be heavy, according to McMurtry. The Spéirling Pure also gets a number of weight-saving changes, from an updated skirt design and new electrical architecture to a lightened power steering unit and a revised carbonfibre monocoque.
However, it will be limited to track use . As such, it has been designed with a focus on multi-lap runs on full circuits with rapid-charging turnarounds. As a baseline, the car is capable of completing 10 laps of Silverstone’s 3.7-mile circuit at lap record pace, then rapid-charging in 20 minutes to run again. Key to this is the Molicel battery pack's improved thermal management.Despite being just 3.45m in length, the tight-fitting single-seater comes fitted with adjustable pedals and steering wheel to accommodate drivers up to 6ft 7in tall and as heavy as 23 stone.
