McMurtry Spéirling Pure Revealed in Production Form

Following years of testing and breaking circuit records in prototype guise, the McMurtry Spéirling Pure has finally been revealed in production form. 95 per cent of the components are new, with comprehensive revisions to the chassis, bodywork and drivetrain.

An enlarged 100kWh battery sits within the lengthened 2,200mm wheelbase, sending its power to a pair of electric motors at the rear. Combined, they produce 1,000bhp – enough to send the Spéirling Pure from 0–60mph in 1.55sec (inclusive of a one-foot rollout), and on to a top speed of 190mph, though peak torque is yet to be confirmed. An electronic differential and an uprated gearbox also feature.

The Spéirling Pure can run for up to 31 miles at flat-out LMP2 race car pace, recovering energy at up to 200kW under braking while putting its six-piston calipers and 390x34mm discs to work. Recharging from 20–95% takes as little as 20 minutes depending on the power source, and McMurtry offers an optional portable battery for circuits without rapid charging facilities – good for 100kWh of storage capacity and a 120kW maximum output.

Beyond the powertrain, significant modifications have been made to the car's aerodynamic package. A new swan neck-mounted rear wing sits above the rear deck, and the fan-assisted Downforce-on-Demand™ system has been overhauled with new fan blades and motors. Spinning at 23,000rpm, the fans pull air from underneath the car to generate 2,000kg of downforce from 0mph.

That results in peak cornering forces of 3G, and the ability to drive upside down with the fans switched on. The inlets are visible through the rear bodywork, and a jet-like sound can be heard from the central fan outlet. Airflow through the car is improved thanks to the radiator being moved to the front of the car; the new heat exchanger is larger and 20 per cent lighter than the two smaller units found on the prototype.

Mechanical grip comes courtesy of slick Michelin Pilot Sport GT S8M tyres and bespoke inboard suspension with Öhlins dampers, the latter available with electronic adjustment as an optional extra. New lights at both ends allow for nighttime running, with indicators, hazard and flashing functions to improve visibility.

There's one seat in the Spéirling Pure, but a newly designed carbon fibre monocoque features two doors and more interior space. A motorsport-inspired steering wheel shows speed, power output, fan settings, system temperatures and battery charge levels on its inbuilt display. The wheel is connected to a new hydraulic power steering system, replacing the EPAS set-up found on the prototypes. Air conditioning is optional, but all models feature adjustable pedals alongside a helmet and HANS device storage area under the rear deck.

The McMurtry Spéirling Pure is available to order now, with prices starting at £995,000 plus taxes. With extensive customisation options available for the exterior and interior, we'd expect most of the 100 cars to command a healthy seven-figure list price. The car will make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, before heading to The Quail for Monterey Car Week. Production of customer cars is expected to commence later in 2026, with all cars being hand-built at McMurtry's factory in The Cotswolds.
