The McMurtry Spéirling (that's spear-ling) is very literally unlike any other car in existence. It can stick to the ceiling like an insect. Considering you can spend more than $3 million on something like a Koenigsegg, the brand's $1.3 million asking price for the production version, the McMurtry Spéirling Pure, feels almost like a sort of bargain.McMurtryView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleThe McMurtry Spéirling's two underbody fans can spin at up to 23,000 RPM, firing air out the back of the single-seat, track-ready hypercar. The downforce generated is actually more than the weight of the car, which means that it can literally suction itself to surfaces.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe new Pure version really is new, despite looking very similar to the test car in the video below. McMurtry says the car's parts are 95% new. The changes are many, including a new, larger 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack. To fit it, the car's wheelbase grows by around eight inches.A new carbon fiber body also means it fits more motorsports regulations in more places - important when the car isn't road legal. Other updates include headlights, a second door, and a new rear wing design that sits above a "trunk" with just enough room for your race helmet.The cockpit will really only perfectly fit one person - the owner - on account of its custom-molded bucket seat. Air conditioning is optional.McMurtryView the 6 images of this gallery on the original articleAdvertisementAdvertisementA set of new Helix drive motors sends a massive 986 horsepower to the rear wheels. More than that, the feathery sub-3,000-pound curb weight means the EV will hit 60 mph in just 1.6 seconds. Total downforce output from the fan system, which pulls the car down onto the road, is around 4,400 pounds. The Spéirling Pure will carry on to a top speed of 190 miles per hour.This story was originally published by Men's Journal on Jul 14, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
