The McMurtry Spéirling has completely changed the definition of hypercar after it broke a 21-year-old Top Gear Test Track record. The McMurtry Spéirling set a new record at the Top Gear Test Track with a time of 55.9 seconds, which surpassed the 59.0-second mark established by Renault’s F1 driver Heikki Kovalainen in his Renault R24 Formula 1 car from 2004.
The Top Gear Test Track established itself as a sacred performance testing facility when Clarkson-Hammond-May took over in 2002. The anonymous Stig drives the fastest cars across the 12-turn Lotus-designed circuit since he began his track record-breaking career with Ferrari FXXs and track-focused vehicles.
The McMurtry Spéirling Pure VP1 outpaced its competitors by such a large margin that it left them in a state of complete obliteration. The runner-up? The Lotus T125, which is an F1 car with reduced power, delivered performance 4.8 seconds behind the McMurtry Spéirling Pure VP1. At this level such a large time difference stands as an extraordinary accomplishment. It’s unheard of.
The Spéirling accomplished this remarkable feat through what combination of factors? With brute force and gravity-defying innovation. The Spéiring Pure VP1 generates 4,000 pounds of downforce at zero speed using its two electric fans in its compact all-electric single-seater design. The F-35 fighter jet combined with a vacuum cleaner produces this performance. The result? The extreme grip capabilities of this car would allow it to drive in reverse like an upside-down vehicle, according to reports.
The engineering madness of this vehicle combined with the robotic driving skills of the Stig led to an unavoidable outcome. A new record. A new legend. A new definition of “fast.”
The Top Gear lap board now features a new speed champion that is not a Formula 1 vehicle. The Spéirling electric vehicle, with its fan-powered, physics-warping design, has now established itself as the fastest production car in history.
