McMurtry Sp e9irling Pure offers 100 kW b7h of downforce with a 100 kW b7h downforce
- Sp e9irling Pure delivers 100 kW b7h of downforce and an additional 100 kW b7h of downforce from the air intake, with the same downforce as the previous model.
- Downforce on demand delivers it through a vent, with the driver’s side as the main source of downforce.
- Acceleration from 090 mph is less than 1.6 seconds, and 190 mph is reached from a standstill in less than 20 minutes.

McMurtry presented a production version of its electric hypercar Sp e9irling Pure, which was first recorded in 2022. The company can price the model at around a31.2 million, or $1.3 million, and says it will start selling this year.
Sp e9irling Pure features 100 kW b7h of downforce, while its prototype has a total of 60 kW b7h. With a larger downforce, the car can reach a top speed of 86.6 mph. The company also says: the car’s downforce is generated by a fan, which is controlled by a system that uses a swan-neck.
The technical concept of downforce on demand is simple: the driver can adjust the fan, which increases the downforce. Thanks to the system, the electric hypercar can produce a downforce of up to 4400 pounds at speeds up to 60 mph. In addition, the car can reach a maximum speed of 986 kph and 4400 horsepower.
McMurtry says the Helix electric motor, which is the largest in the system, is designed to generate downforce. The company also says the system can reduce drag by 20%, and the design is inspired by an F1-style front wing. According to McMurtry, the DC charging system can charge the battery in 20 minutes for a range of 20% to 95%.
For those taking part in track days, the car can be used for time-attack in the U.S. as well. McMurtry also says that the car has a 100 kW b7h output from a 120 kW battery, which is designed for a “future-proof” time-attack system.
