McMurtry Spéirling: Is it Still the World’s Fastest Car?

McMurtry Spéirling Review: The quickest accelerating car in the world? I have never been so terrified and excited at the same time! This is the McMurtry Spéirling, a 1,000hp electric "fan car" that generates 2,000kg of downforce before it even starts moving. In 2026, with customer production officially underway and the Spéirling PURE taking names at every track in the world, I’m looking back at the day we broke the 1/4-mile world record. Is a car that weighs less than 1,000kg and uses fans to "suck" itself to the tarmac really the future of performance? I’m testing the 1.4-second 0-60mph launch, diving into the "Batmobile" interior, and finding out if this £995,000 single-seater is actually faster than an F1 car. From the 23,000 RPM fans to the 7.9s quarter-mile run, this is the definitive test of the most extreme vehicle carwow has ever featured.
