It also has an official starting price of approximately $1.3 million before options, and while that's still a huge amount of money, in the context of today's hypercars, it's a relative bargain. 0-60 mph takes just 1.55 seconds (with a one-foot rollout), the car can generate up to 3 G in the corners and under braking, and it gets to a top speed of 190 mph. 1,000 horsepower is on offer, and the car will run for roughly 24-31 miles at LMP2 race car pace before needing a recharge, which takes 20-60 mins to get from 20-95 percent. And if the track you're at doesn't have recharging facilities, McMurtry has developed a battery pack you can take to the circuit to replenish the battery with ease.Production Spéirling is Heavier, Bigger, But Still InsaneMcMurtryThe dual-motor rear-wheel-drive Spéirling weighs around 2,980 pounds in production form, depending on options, and some of that increased heft (prototypes weighed around 2,314 lbs) comes from a bigger battery (100kWh vs 60kWh for prototypes), a longer wheelbase, and larger tires (off-the-shelf Michelin Pilot Sport GT S8M rubber). The car is also bigger in production form, with space for drivers up to 6'7". Despite this added heft, the car is sure to be absolutely astonishing to drive, generating a stunning 4,409 lbs of downforce at any speed, even 0 mph. Altogether, McMurtry says 90 percent of the components are new compared to prototype models. There's more regenerative braking power, up to 200kW in all states of charge, and the new Helix drive motors provide more torque, which the transmission has been upgraded to handle. Like a McLaren W1, McMurtry has decided against electric power steering in favor of a hydraulic system for more feel.McMurtryView the 4 images of this gallery on the original articleAdvertisementAdvertisementThe new carbon fiber monocoque chassis has been designed to meet motorsport safety standards and can be entered in Global Time Attack events. Making it bigger with a longer wheelbase has increased elbow and leg room, made getting in and out easier through a wider door opening, and improved the positioning of the A-pillar for a wider field of view. There's even a hint of practicality, with a trunk compartment under the swan-neck rear wing providing space for a helmet and a HANS device. Other improvements include headlights with high-beam flashers for tracking the car in low light, turn signal indicators, hazard lights, and brake lights. The car is also easier to service, with the fan filter cassette accessible via panels in the side pods. Finally, the Downforce-on-Demand system with its retractable side skirts now features an onboard air compressor to power the fan, rather than the external bottle required by prototypes.Several Customization Options for McMurtry SpéirlingMcMurtryThe production version of the Spéirling is set to make its first appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed next week, before it makes its full official debut at Monterey Car Week in August. The kinds of buyers capable of spending $1.3 million or more on a car like to stand out, and McMurtry will give buyers time with an in-house designer who will help them choose from a variety of wheel designs, graphics packs, paint finishes, and interiors, with no two Spéirling cars being the same. Inside, various colors, stitching types, and logos can be applied to the seat, steering wheel, and dashboard trim.Related: Ferrari Wants Rear Wings That Bend For Better Cornering GripOwning a Ferrari is cool, and having a multi-million dollar Koenigsegg in the garage is awesome, but nothing else on the planet will drive like the Spéirling, whose fans suck the car to the ground by spinning at up to 23,000 rpm, creating that distinctive jet-like whoosh. Naturally, that kind of performance requires some training, and each owner will be provided with opportunities to discover how to extract the best from the fan car, like an ice driving course in Sweden followed by on-track training. Perhaps more importantly, owners will be a part of helping develop McMurtry's next cars, though we have no idea how the company will improve on this.McMurtryThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jul 2, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
