Want to know more about just how to assemble a 1000bhp, 2000kg Downforce-on-DemandTM, record-breaking McMurtry Spéirling PURE? Well, you’re in the right place. In the second in a series of behind-the-scenes films, the next steps in the build process of the production-spec hyper track car are revealed.
Within McMurtry Automotive’s brand-new, 2,700m2 production facility in the Cotswolds, England, join Ollie Record – Prototype Build Technician, and Matt Best – Trackside Electronics Engineer, as they guide you through the intricate build.
The Spéirling PURE’s carbon fibre monocoque – designed from the ground up, in-house – receives a fresh coat of paint before first-fit components are added to the shell. Wiring looms and mounts embedded deep in the chassis are attached, along with hydraulic and brake lines, followed by the front uprights.
Now in production-spec, the Spéirling PURE features multiple new design elements and components to further enhance the overall driving, maintenance and ownership experience.
With many customers planning to run the Spéirling PURE in hotter climates, an air-conditioning unit has now been added, serving the dual purpose of cooling the cabin and the car’s 100kWh lithium-ion battery. A cooler battery means it is kept in the optimal temperature window for faster charging.
Access panels have now been added to the monocoque, meaning when fully assembled, the Spéirling PURE can be serviced at far greater ease, with key components easily accessible.
The car’s 23,000rpm Downforce-on-DemandTM fans have now moved from the top to the bottom of the chassis to improve the centre of gravity, also meaning there is now storage space for a helmet and HANS device in a newly devised boot.
Also in line with the goal to make the car plug-and-play at any given race track, the Spéirling PURE now features an onboard air compressor as part of the Downforce-on-DemandTM skirt system. The skirt can be retracted independently for trailer loading and slow-speed manoeuvring, such as when in the pits. Previous Spéirling prototypes required an external air bottle to pre-charge the system.
