Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
Mat s got his hands on the McMurtry Sp irling, and he s about to find out if it can back up its claim of being the quickest accelerating road car ever made! Now before he even gets behind the wheel, you need to know that the McMurtry comes with a reputation! It's claimed the record as being the fastest car to complete the Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb - beating an F1 car to the title by two whole seconds! But what makes this lightning-fast single-seater so special? Well, it comes with an incredible fan system that helps to generate 2, 000kg of downforce! This means the McMurtry is not only super quick off the line, but it can take corners at speed with ease. In terms of power output, it has two electric motors that produce 1, 000hp. Now you may not think that s too impressive, given EVs such as the Rimac Nevera come with almost 2, 000hp. However, whereas the Nevera weighs over 2 tonnes, the McMurtry Sp irling weighs less than one tonne! Now, of course, all that power and performance doesn t come cheap, costing just under 2, 000, 000. But if the car can break records as it claims, then it s got to be worth it, right? All we know is, this is one review you don t want to miss! Will Mat go faster than he s ever been before? And more importantly, will he break some records! There s only one way to find out Join us for this ultra-in-depth review and see for yourself! Luscious3174: Yeah, NASA astronauts were doing this in the 60's. just not with wheels but rockets under their asses. This thing is very much understandable on a track for racing but totally impractical for a road car. Congratulations for being the fastest dummy in a car

if you want to do a 20 minute session, you'd need to drive it at a GT4 pace. ouch. That's what my biggest gripe about these super high power electric cars that are only good for a single lap. 1000hp but you'd run out of batteries with less than 5 minutes of full throttle. The car would manage just 1 lap of the nurburgring. However, I really can't hate on this car, because it's so specialised. Hill Climb and drag race specialist.

Matt, did you keep it at 60 or did you floor it when you went past. If you floored it, how fast were you going when he came past?
Anyways, this is an awesome machine
Bet it could compete with a top fuel dragster if the top speed is doubled (300mph)

Yes! The mini Batmobile or maybe now we can call the Mattmobile!
Will you be selling Mattmobiles on Carwow? I would really like to get one. Everybody behind me will eat my dust and I might crack some windscreens while I'm at it.

I just love how much trust and love McMurtry's people have for their product. I mean they help, and actually want, Mat get the most out of it, are all passionate, seems like a great company
reply

Just when you think they ve made the fastest car in the Rimac another car comes along and breaks the record. At this rate we will have cars that teleports their drivers and passengers by 2042

Memories of Jim Hall, his BigBlock powered CanAm cars used auxiliary snowmobile
engine powered ground effects.
Of course they were outlawed after embarrassing factory racecars

Hi Matt love car wow content & is a great reality distraction in these struggling times! Would be nice to see something that relates to the majority of us that are not so minted! ?
reply

Those rims are massive, but an F1 car's rims would look quite similar, if they decided down the line that the tires should have the same wall height as NASCAR radials.
reply

WE NEED A DRAG RACE VIDEO BETWEEN THIS CAR AND THE RIMAC NEVERA!
This has been a 1000hp less than the nevera BUT STILL MANAGES TIMES VERY SIMILAR TO THE NEVERA

reply

This is pure theatre. Mat looks like he's had a near-death experience. What a lucky man getting to review cars like this, if you can even class this thing as a car.
reply

I m not interested in this just as much as I m not interested in going over my friends for a microwave burger
There s something to say for a slow roast BBQ

reply

this thing is absolutely nuts - the way it goes around the track looks almost fake, because it's that unbelievably cornering as if it was going on rails or smth.
reply

Obviously, Mat hasn t drive a Plaid ModelS yet because it s about as quick for a non-unicorn street car anyway. However, that 1. 40 to 60 is simply amazing.
reply

Holy moly, this car is closer to 1 second 0-60 than 2 second, how crazy is that. Would love to see what it could do without the limiter.
