In a new film, McMurtry Automotive test driver and former F1 and IndyCar driver, Max Chilton, visits the company’s new production facility in the Cotswolds, England, to see the first production-spec Spéirling PURE in build.
Together with McMurtry’s co-founder and Managing Director, Thomas Yates, Max delves into the production car’s new features both from a driving and ease-of-running perspective.
Also settling into the carbon monocoque for the first time, Max gives his impressions on the driver’s field of view, seating position and comfort.
Max Chilton comments: “It’s the ultimate track weapon. It’s going to be so cool to see a client take their own car to a hillclimb and probably break the record.”
No more than 100 examples of the Spéirling PURE will be produced. First customer deliveries begin later in 2026.

About McMurtry:
McMurtry Automotive is a UK-based manufacturer, co-founded in 2016 by the late engineering pioneer, Sir David McMurtry, and ex-Formula 1 engineer, Thomas Yates.
With a clear vision to design and build vehicles that deliver the highest levels of exhilaration and performance, the McMurtry team continues to leverage its unique engineering creativity to work outside of established industry norms to create a track vehicle unlike anything else in the automotive world.
The Spéirling PURE is a single-seater, electric hyper track car that delivers truly accessible Formula 1-level performance. Centring around McMurtry’s fan-based Downforce-on-DemandTM system, it generates 2000kg of downforce, available at 0mph. A 100kWh Lithium-Ion battery produces 1000bhp, launching the car from 0-60mph in 1.55 seconds, and on to 190mph.
Small, lightweight and supremely agile, the Spéirling PURE empowers drivers of all levels to experience forces that were once only accessible to elite-level racing drivers, pulling 3g in the corners and 3g under braking. Prototype Spéirling models have proven their speed, shattering outright records at the Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb and the Top Gear Test Track.
Designed with ease of ownership in mind, the Spéirling PURE is truly plug-and-play, and can be enjoyed with the bare minimum of trackside support with just a driver and competent friend.
