Overview

• The McMurtry Spéirling became the first car to achieve sustained controlled upside-down driving, using 2,000 kg of fan-generated downforce.
• It broke TopGear's long-standing lap record with a time of 55.9 seconds, surpassing the previous record set by a Renault Formula One car.
• The Spéirling's fan system provides 'downforce on demand,' ensuring exceptional grip even at low speeds or when inverted.
• McMurtry plans to produce 100 units of the Spéirling Pure, with customer deliveries scheduled to begin in 2026 at a base price of £895,000.
• The demonstration hints at future possibilities for extended upside-down driving on longer tracks or in specially designed tunnels.
