Description
The McMurtry Spéirling is an electric single-seat prototype sports car which was first presented at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2021. The car is developed by McMurtry Automotive, a British registered startup founded on 2 June 2016 by Sir David McMurtry (co-founder and executive chairman of Renishaw plc). "Spéirling" is Irish for "thunderstorm".
The special feature of this rather small vehicle is "active downforce", with fans sucking the car to the ground even at standstill, giving it a big advantage at slow speeds. It even can and did drive upside down at the ceiling. Similar fan systems had been used in motor racing already in the 1970s; they got banned subsequently.
