The car's electric powertrain pumps out 999 hp, giving it a perfect one-to-one power-to-weight ratio
The pint-sized EV lapped the Castle Combe Circuit in just 54.559 seconds. McMurtry is only testing the new Speirling Pure with 80% power. Thanks to its huge levels of downforce, the car can pull 3Gs while cornering. A prototype of the upcoming, production-spec McMurtry Speirling Pure has set a new lap record around the Castle Combe Circuit in the UK, easily eclipsing times from Formula 3 and GT3 race cars.
1 Seconds Making the lap time of the prototype all the more impressive is the fact that power from the electric motors was capped at 80%. The small British company is promising to make further lap record attempts throughout 2024 and 2025 as it turns up power to 100% and also lifts downforce levels to 100%. “This is a fun milestone to achieve,” McMurtry managing director Thomas Yates said. “It’s not everyday you get to see a car and driver go so much faster than what’s gone before.
