McMurtry Spéirling fan car || 2022

McMurtry Automotive Spéirling Pure Electric Fan Hypercar is an uncompromising single seater, track-only hypercar. 
It currently owns the track record at the GoodWood Festival of speed. The downforce is created by a fan system very much like a vacuumcleaner. It uses the fans, floor and venturi tunnels to generate massive amounts of downforce even when standing still.

According to McMurtry, the motivation behind the car was to challenge the industry trend of increasingly heavier vehicles and, by using first principles design, create a lightweight electric drivers car. The prototype car is the first step to demonstrate what customers will experience on road and track.[9] It is not currently in a racing series but is built to satisfy relevant motorsport safety requirements, with crash structures and a carbon-fibre monocoque chassis with integral rollover protection. Its unique performance differentiator is the fan powered downforce system, giving 2,000 kg of downforce from 0 mph.
