If the McMurtry Spéirling doesn’t ring a bell, it's a pint-sized electric hypercar that shattered the Goodwood Hill Climb record last year. With ex-F1 driver Max Chilton behind the wheel, the diminutive performance EV completed the course in 39.08 seconds. The cute one-seater shaved off 0.8 seconds from the old record set by Romain Dumas in the VW ID.R in 2019. Late last year, we saw it doing 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in a neck-snapping 1.4 seconds.
Fast forward to June 2023, McMurtry Automotive is happy to announce the little electric beast is going into production, albeit with a limited run of only 100 cars. We'll see a validation prototype next month at the Goodwood FoS, with pre-production prototypes to follow in 2024 ahead of customer deliveries set for 2025. As to how much it costs, you'd better sit down for this one since the Spéirling Pure is available for £820,000 before taxes. That's about $1.04 million or €954,000 at current exchange rates.
