@@Technotranceism The great thing about EVs is that they only use as much power as you put down. So that 35% of 1000hp (350hp?) is only if you floor it. The battery size is only about 8% smaller than in my car (Chevy Bolt ev), but the Spéirling is much more aerodynamic (especially if you removed the wing), and weighs a full 1400lbs less at only 2200lbs! So imagine it could get well into the 300 range and possibly even 400. (Really, I am just flabbergasted at how little this car weighs. The thing is an EV that weighs less than a Miata, and even an Aston Martin Valkyrie!)
So basically the car is as fast as a driver is fearless at this point. Imagine an entire field of these daring each other into corners and drafting off of each other up the straights
That's exactly what i thought the moment i first saw it. The limit of the car has now, once again, become the limit of the driver themselves - because extracting full performance requires SO much bravery and sheer physical will.
They had a Sebring car of formula 1 car that did this back in the '80s this is old tech old news just another gimmick that works but yeah old shit nothing new
@@themrjones Yeah everyone knows that they even said it in the video. Just because someone's done it before doesn't make it a gimmick. The car is fast and this has not been done with an electric hyper car built for consumers ever. Just because F1 did it once doesn't make it not revolutionary for the private market. There's literally not a single production car in the world that can match this.
Its incredible that because this thing has the fan, it actually sounds good for an EV. Sounds like a mini jet engine when its approaching lol. I love it
This is the first electric car that has hit the "disruptive technology" mark. Fan cars have been done many times before with good results but it's a first on an electric car, and that is where that engineering shines. To most of us, battery powered cars signify a dark agenda used to take away what we love. This car avoids that bit entirely, it was made for pure speed, and a battery is the best tool for the job here. Any car guy can get behind this, regardless of the muscle car they have in their garage. When you peer below the surface it isn't leading us towards 15 minute cities, it's just taking a person around a track as fast as humanly possible. It's honest, it's purpose built like an F40. It's an engineering marvel driven by passion and I am so proud of the men who built it.
@@tbay1959 I mean all lap records are a single lap? This was no different than running quali laps. And not all cars are built for the same purpose, I don't really think it matters that it can't run a 10 lap race. And I think Formula E proves that BEV's can be spec racecars if they are designed for that objective.
@@cephasmakuzva Good question. Answer is: we're midway though a test programme with this car. Currently testing the 75% modes at different venues. You will get to see full performance later in the year :)
@@cephasmakuzva probably similar reasons to why Lotus had a track day with the Evija limited to "only" 1400 horsepower or so. Shaking out the thermal and durability issues with running the batteries, motors, and power management when a megawatt is coursing through them. The Rimac Nevera seems capable of running at its max 1,900 (!!) horsepower, but it's a big heavy, arguably over-engineered car.
British engineering and ingenuity. Love to see it. Good for you McMurty Automotive. Keep smashing those records. 75% of the performance and 4 seconds faster... astonishing.
You can see the genuine pride and excitement the team has for the car they have produced.What a wonderfull achievement.They have brought to life every amateurs imaginary prototype.Not only that they have made it simple and usable.
The outright lap record here is 1:11.767 by the Mercedes W11 in 2020, which is the fastest formula 1 car in history. If you could dial it down somehow to only run at 75% of its maximum performance, the lap time would be 1:22.87, which the Speirling got pretty close to after only a few runs. I'm dying to see McMurtry give it the full beans and set out for an outright lap record somewhere where Formula 1 cars go. If this beats the W11, the fastest F1 car in history, I'll stop watching Formula 1 until they allow for fans again. You have my word
Those who mentioned that it is 13 seconds slower than the all time record, a pole lap set by Sebastian Vettel in a Ferrari F1 car in 2018, don't forget- this is at 75% performance... : O I don't know how a driver does it- I'm pretty good at driving a powerful car at the limit of the tire's mechanical grip, but this- it's just an act of faith with that much downforce to nail it and just slingshot around corners like that!! Insane...
The F1 cars were doing around 210mph in qualifying, which is around 35mph faster, which would be around 2-3 seconds or so time lost just on the straight. There's still around 30 percent more downforce on an F1 car in the high speed sections, which is again around 3 seconds. That can still be made up in time. This thing is already around the same time as a Lmp car with 100 percent power, which is ridiculous
@@mikesturgess2676 Cornering speed is exactly what it has. The fans are a gamechanger for that, that's why Gordon Murray put them in the Brabham BT46B and that's why Adrian Newey is putting them in the RB17.
how long does the battery last at full power though? the Nureberg ring most electric high performance cars can only last 1 lap funnily a Hyundai Ionq N50 which is insanely fast lap time is 1300hp managed to get 2 laps and thats a breakthru Teslas cant do that
So Crazy Fast! 16 seconds FASTER than the Mercedes Project One @ 75% power!!! Looks like it is going to best ANY F1 car! Can't wait to have it added to a SIM, as I am a SIM Racer. To old and poor for any of the real things. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

@@zukacs, it would definitely win around Monaco, but that's more size, power, and wheelbase than the downforce. It would lose around a track like COTA, SPA, or Road America however.
Yeah, 2020 Spec DTM cars are quick, but they aren't Formula 1 quick. Looking at lap times, a '20 DTM sits somewhere around F3 speeds. So, a few seconds quicker per lap would put Max's run around F2 speeds.

Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's awesome that you got to Experience the Mcmurty Spreirling Pur Hockenheimring Record Breakering pass and I'm glad you got to share that Absolutely incredible footage
3:00 Impressive and awesome car but a runtime of 20 minutes or on full power not even 2 minutes is defenitely an issue to break some lap records in the future. I would like to see the very same car with a high powered petrol engine (like the tiny new one from Koenigsegg) and see it go around the Nordschleife with F1 car pace.
There is just something about that profile that will never die. That long sweeping front end, the teardrop rear. Those deep concave rims... man that thing is so freaking sexy!
That is one sweet looking automobile! The way Tim crunched himself down into that machine, it looks very much like the cockpit of a fighter jet. Even the racing steering wheel looks like the yoke of a fighter jet more so than a steering wheel. No doubt the reason you are so tightly packed into that vehicle is because of g-forces. If you are going for a serious lap record, if your body is moving about in the cabin, that's g-forces and inertia forces acting against forces going the other direction, especially in the curves. The more centerline the body, and the less the body is moving about in the cabin allows the human body to exert less g-forces and inertia. Of course there are a LOT of factors involved including the size of the driver, his or hers experience racing, the way they drive compared to other drivers, etc. We are almost getting to the "pinacle" of what a human can achieve while driving, however, no doubt the future will probably have machines that can do even faster. Hell, some day you might even see a autonomous robotic entity (Think the movie "Chappie") driving an automobile going for the records!
Amazing machine and team. This is a good safety limit set in place for many sports and endeavors 75-80 percent power and limit it is sufficient to experiment and tweak with. This will prevent loss of life as well. Cheers and keep pushing safely.
I would LOVE to see this thing blast up the Pikes Peak Hillclimb cause I could DEFINITELY see a new record from that car that would be ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT. Possibly a time under 7.5 minutes or even 7 minutes with how fast that thing is. I mean it blasted up the Goodwood Hillclimb in like 30 seconds or so? So I could see a high 6-minute time up the Pikes Peak hillclimb. I dunno what you think but I can see a high 6-minute time which would be an INSANE time due to how long the course is as most cars take AT LEAST 9 minutes or more depending on how it is set up for the course and how much power it has under the hood. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
@@MikeKayK They could put a cooling system in for the batteries. like put some additional lightweight fans or liquid cool the batteries to where they would stay in check temperature-wise. Hell there has been multiple EVs that have done the climb so it wouldn't be difficult to make it to where it would be able to do that long run up the mountain. There are ways to make it happen.
@@alecday3775 Perhaps, but for whatever reason they haven't done it. And additional cooling would require a lot more design and R&D, would take up additional space that might not be there, add weight, drain the battery quicker, etc. It's not that simple.
@@MikeKayK But it has the potential of breaking the 7-minute barrier on the Pikes Peak Hllclimb course if it could bomb Goodwood in a little over 30 seconds and i am not saying that it has to be a production car either, i m saying it could be one that is purpose-built for Pikes peak with a professional race driver behind the wheel. I still think a purpose-built one of those could still post a time that would be VERY HARD TO BEAT up Pikes Peak.
congratulations my self made 1980 Donnington GT championship winning car , was the only ground effects car in the series . the superior cornering and braking achieved , endowed me as the constructor /m driver with what seemed like superhuman abilities . In one memorable race I lapped all but one of the other cars . one more lap and I would have lapped him as well. I can fully imagine the insane all around performance delivered to the driver . one huge negative is , should the loss of suction occur there will be nothing left to rebuild . I was punted off under braking for the Donnington chican and unknown to me had collected a plastic cone which lodged in the ground effects airflow .Upon Entering the Craner curves at full race speed after the chican off.My ground effects were compromised and the car departed the tarmac in a split second .. Luckily there is a huge area of grass which allowed me to regain the racetrack after the hairpin corner . Memories . 80 years old this coming November . I am still able to visualise airflow in my dreams . Who needs computers .
What has happened to the Ford GT and the Mustang Dark Horse on your USA road trip because I haven’t seen a video mentioning what has happened to the cars.
Unfortunately they don't want people to show see the car because they closed the entire track (Hockenheimring) for it even those grandstands which are open to the public every day and even the hills where you can stand for free.
Great coverage! Nice explanations by Yates and Chilton. The Hockenheim time set with 75% of power, 75% of downforce. At 100/100 perhaps the limit will be the driver's physical stamina to G-forces?
Not exatly the Nürburgring - where once upon a time manufacturers were all going to see how they all measured up to one another. Laguna Seca, Willow Springs, Circuit of The Americas, Hockenheimring... so far in 2024, a year of fast tech advancement, each manufacturer has handpicked a different track to go by themselves and set the "world record" at. Kind of leaves a lot of us with apples and oranges to compare; not complaining tho I luv it =-)
Ive always dug this little thing. Looks neat and is basically banned racing tech stuffed into a crazy light EV, tho a PHEV version or something with a gas backup generator would be even cooler. May screw up the weight tho, god knows the engineering is next level. Plus, looks like a Mini Batmobile lol
As a car guy i am absolutely impressed and also shocked since this car runs only on 75% of its power. No matter if electric, gasoline or steam powered. Who cares? on a technology standpoint these guys which are not big car developers going to break every race car record in the book!
Years ago, I was on a team that built a go-kart with a system much like this to create downforce. We used rubber from a conveyor belt as shrouding on the bottom edges, and a radiator fan connected to a 12v motor to create the low pressure. It felt like a force completely external to the kart was flinging you from side to side! What we built looked nothing like this! 😂
I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
The bit about collecting rocks and bolts is fascinating. I'm thinking that if some modifications were made to collect the dust and grit then this vehicle would likely be the fastest vacuum cleaner in the world.
It's pretty amazing. I wonder how the performance settings effect charge life. He mentioned doing 6-7 laps and then coming in for coffee and a 20 minute charge. What level is that at?
What a remarkable car! The technology is incredible... now they just need some equally awesome battery technology that allows the car to run at those crazy speeds for longer than only a few minutes.

A absolute smashing video Shmee you deliver time & time again awesome content you've out done yourself again Thankyou ❤❤
That is sick!
Shmee150 Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's awesome that you got to Experience the Mcmurty Spreirling Pur Hockenheimring Record Breakering pass and I'm glad you got to share that Absolutely incredible footage
This is the most exciting car to hit motorsport in years! The fact that it's British is the icing on the cake!
3:00 Impressive and awesome car
but a runtime of 20 minutes or on full power not even 2 minutes is defenitely an issue to break some lap records in the future.
I would like to see the very same car with a high powered petrol engine (like the tiny new one from Koenigsegg) and see it go around the Nordschleife with F1 car pace.
There is just something about that profile that will never die. That long sweeping front end, the teardrop rear. Those deep concave rims... man that thing is so freaking sexy!
F1 would be much more fun if F1 cars were this size
That is one sweet looking automobile! The way Tim crunched himself down into that machine, it looks very much like the cockpit of a fighter jet. Even the racing steering wheel looks like the yoke of a fighter jet more so than a steering wheel. No doubt the reason you are so tightly packed into that vehicle is because of g-forces. If you are going for a serious lap record, if your body is moving about in the cabin, that's g-forces and inertia forces acting against forces going the other direction, especially in the curves. The more centerline the body, and the less the body is moving about in the cabin allows the human body to exert less g-forces and inertia. Of course there are a LOT of factors involved including the size of the driver, his or hers experience racing, the way they drive compared to other drivers, etc. We are almost getting to the "pinacle" of what a human can achieve while driving, however, no doubt the future will probably have machines that can do even faster. Hell, some day you might even see a autonomous robotic entity (Think the movie "Chappie") driving an automobile going for the records!
Looks like Lightning McQueen's lost cousin
Great content 🏁 congrats to the team to get that record. Crazy fast.
Need to have a championship full of these on a grid
That would be awesome
Amazing machine and team. This is a good safety limit set in place for many sports and endeavors 75-80 percent power and limit it is sufficient to experiment and tweak with. This will prevent loss of life as well. Cheers and keep pushing safely.
Outstanding
Wicked vid, Tim !!!
Thank you 🙏🌎💯
I would LOVE to see this thing blast up the Pikes Peak Hillclimb cause I could DEFINITELY see a new record from that car that would be ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT. Possibly a time under 7.5 minutes or even 7 minutes with how fast that thing is. I mean it blasted up the Goodwood Hillclimb in like 30 seconds or so? So I could see a high 6-minute time up the Pikes Peak hillclimb. I dunno what you think but I can see a high 6-minute time which would be an INSANE time due to how long the course is as most cars take AT LEAST 9 minutes or more depending on how it is set up for the course and how much power it has under the hood. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Battery will overheat. It can not run at full tilt for more than a few miles.
@@MikeKayK They could put a cooling system in for the batteries. like put some additional lightweight fans or liquid cool the batteries to where they would stay in check temperature-wise. Hell there has been multiple EVs that have done the climb so it wouldn't be difficult to make it to where it would be able to do that long run up the mountain. There are ways to make it happen.
@@alecday3775 Perhaps, but for whatever reason they haven't done it. And additional cooling would require a lot more design and R&D, would take up additional space that might not be there, add weight, drain the battery quicker, etc. It's not that simple.
@@MikeKayK But it has the potential of breaking the 7-minute barrier on the Pikes Peak Hllclimb course if it could bomb Goodwood in a little over 30 seconds and i am not saying that it has to be a production car either, i m saying it could be one that is purpose-built for Pikes peak with a professional race driver behind the wheel. I still think a purpose-built one of those could still post a time that would be VERY HARD TO BEAT up Pikes Peak.
@@MikeKayK b.s. it can do 10 fill tilt laps of the Silverstone circuit per mcmurty themselves SMDH.
congratulations my self made 1980 Donnington GT championship winning car , was the only ground effects car in the series . the superior cornering and braking achieved , endowed me as the constructor /m driver with what seemed like superhuman abilities . In one memorable race I lapped all but one of the other cars . one more lap and I would have lapped him as well. I can fully imagine the insane all around performance delivered to the driver . one huge negative is , should the loss of suction occur there will be nothing left to rebuild . I was punted off under braking for the Donnington chican and unknown to me had collected a plastic cone which lodged in the ground effects airflow .Upon Entering the Craner curves at full race speed after the chican off.My ground effects were compromised and the car departed the tarmac in a split second .. Luckily there is a huge area of grass which allowed me to regain the racetrack after the hairpin corner . Memories . 80 years old this coming November . I am still able to visualise airflow in my dreams . Who needs computers .
BLACK CARRERA GT! 😍
Absolutely GORGEOUS in that metallic blue ❤
What has happened to the Ford GT and the Mustang Dark Horse on your USA road trip because I haven’t seen a video mentioning what has happened to the cars.
There are more videos to come!
What a cool car!!
Nice to see this fan technology getting developed and not outlawed.
This car gets me so hyped. LOL.
For sure and as battery technology gets better so will this!
They should just do Formula E with these !!! Lol :)
Good taste, Max Chilton! A Nautilus :)
Great Car by the way!
These look so cute. Deadly but cute.
Unfortunately they don't want people to show see the car because they closed the entire track (Hockenheimring) for it even those grandstands which are open to the public every day and even the hills where you can stand for free.
Great coverage! Nice explanations by Yates and Chilton. The Hockenheim time set with 75% of power, 75% of downforce. At 100/100 perhaps the limit will be the driver's physical stamina to G-forces?
75% is NOT "Full Send".... Boooo.
Not exatly the Nürburgring - where once upon a time manufacturers were all going to see how they all measured up to one another.
Laguna Seca, Willow Springs, Circuit of The Americas, Hockenheimring... so far in 2024, a year of fast tech advancement, each manufacturer has handpicked a different track to go by themselves and set the "world record" at.
Kind of leaves a lot of us with apples and oranges to compare; not complaining tho I luv it =-)
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers
Rocking the first comment today
That thing looks so fast it’s crazy. Fast on camera I can’t imagine how fast in real life
Thanks. Epic! Two things: Replace the mirrors with cameras. Take it around the Nürbürgring.
Ive always dug this little thing. Looks neat and is basically banned racing tech stuffed into a crazy light EV, tho a PHEV version or something with a gas backup generator would be even cooler. May screw up the weight tho, god knows the engineering is next level. Plus, looks like a Mini Batmobile lol
This is a genius masterpiece of technology and real beast. I love it. 😍😀
Knocked this out the park Tim 👍
As a car guy i am absolutely impressed and also shocked since this car runs only on 75% of its power. No matter if electric, gasoline or steam powered. Who cares? on a technology standpoint these guys which are not big car developers going to break every race car record in the book!
Years ago, I was on a team that built a go-kart with a system much like this to create downforce. We used rubber from a conveyor belt as shrouding on the bottom edges, and a radiator fan connected to a 12v motor to create the low pressure. It felt like a force completely external to the kart was flinging you from side to side!
What we built looked nothing like this! 😂
The way that thing puts down rubber on the track on the outside tire around the corners shows how insane the downforce really is
And it also FOD's the racing line. Kitchen sink springs to mind. Awesome.
That car is mental! I love it
Wow I didn’t realize how fast that thing was!
I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...
How is Max Chilton’s neck? Those g forces and bumps look back and neck breaking!!! Nice drive and stunning vehicle!
WOW! Very impressive!
The bit about collecting rocks and bolts is fascinating. I'm thinking that if some modifications were made to collect the dust and grit then this vehicle would likely be the fastest vacuum cleaner in the world.
It's pretty amazing. I wonder how the performance settings effect charge life. He mentioned doing 6-7 laps and then coming in for coffee and a 20 minute charge. What level is that at?
This is the coolest thing ever!
What a remarkable car! The technology is incredible... now they just need some equally awesome battery technology that allows the car to run at those crazy speeds for longer than only a few minutes.
it would be really nice to see the G forces of that Lap. Great work of he McMurty Team!
Nice video shmee thanks 😊
Cannot wait for McMurtry Greenhell run. Reminds me of a miata with crazy automotive tech.
