The McMurtry Speirling may look like something from a cartoon, but this all-electric hypercar just set a new quarter mile record for EVs. Power comes from two electric motors located inside a custom-designed ‘e-axle’ generating a combined 1,000 hp, enabling it to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 1.5-seconds, while topping out at over 200 mph.
What sets the McMurtry Speirling apart from all of the other electric supercars is its active downforce system, which doesn’t use either a front or rear wing, but instead twin fans that provide an extra 2,000 kg (4,400 lb) of downforce from a standstill. When these fans run at full speed, they generate approximately 120 dB of noise, comparable to that of a jet engine at full speed. One caveat: pricing starts from $2.43-million USD.

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?
