The Spéirling PURE will make its global public debut at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering on Friday, Aug. 14 as part of Monterey Car Week. At the 23rd edition of the event, the production version of the car will be on static display at the McMurtry stand.
With 95% new components compared to prototype models, the Spéirling PURE delivers F1-level performance, with a strong focus on a plug-and-play ownership experience, company officials stated in a press release. With 1,000 bhp, it can reach a top speed of 190 mph and go from 0-60 mph in 1.55 seconds.
After The Quail, the Spéirling PURE will progress to Laguna Seca Raceway on Aug. 15 for Monterey Motorsports Reunion. McMurtry co-founder and managing director, Thomas Yates, will be attending both events. In the weeks following, the Spéirling PURE will be on display at several McMurtry dealer partners and tracks across America.
“The Quail really will be a significant moment in McMurtry’s history, and we cannot wait to witness the reaction of the public, our customers and the media in seeing the Spéirling PURE in production form, in person, for the first time,” said Yates. “It’s one thing to see the images online, but to truly absorb the car’s design, proportions, details and finish, nothing compares to when the car is there in front of you.
Feedback from our earliest deposit holders has shaped the car just as much as our own engineering ambition did. Their input helped turn a record-breaking prototype into something extraordinary and genuinely usable. Very soon, we’ll be delivering the first customer car, and Spéirling PUREs will be out in the wild on racetracks and hill climbs across the globe.”
From Prototype to Production: What’s New
Improvements made from prototype models include:
Powertrain
- Increased battery capacity—now 100kWh, up from 60kWh batteries used in prototypes—to improve overall running time, using Molicel P50B NCA 21700 cells.
- A standardized, modular McMurtry battery design with futureproofing built in for evolution upgrades.
- Increased regenerative braking energy recovery, up to 200kW at all states of charge.
- New Helix drive motors with additional torque, mated to an upgraded gearbox.
- Moving the powertrain cooling system from the rear to the front of the car, bringing dual benefits in efficiency and aerodynamics. Despite the production-spec Spéirling PURE growing slightly in size to accommodate a larger 100kWh battery, airflow across the car and through its rear tunnels is much cleaner, the company said.
Chassis & Bodywork
- New exterior and interior designs, staying true to the original Spéirling philosophy.
- New carbon-fiber monocoque designed to meet global motorsport safety standards. Accommodates a larger battery, enhances cabin space with more elbow and leg room, improves ingress/egress via wider door opening, with a repositioned A-pillar for a wider field of view.
- Increased wheelbase from 2 meters to 2.2 meters to accommodate the new 100kWh battery.
- Secondary door now hinged, with wider hinge spacing further aiding ingress/egress.
- A swan-neck style rear wing, incorporating a boot compartment underneath for a helmet and HANS device.
- Headlights to allow for evening/nighttime track running.
- Track day safety features including indicators, hazard lights, brake lights and main beam flash.
Downforce-on-Demand System
- New fan blades for enhanced durability.
- New fan motors and cooling design, plus overall assembly position relocation to improve center of gravity.
- Under-car downforce skirt durability and travel improvements, able to perform for thousands of kilometers.
- An onboard air compressor as part of the Downforce-on-Demand skirt system. The skirt can be retracted independently for trailer loading and slow-speed maneuvering, such as when in the pits. Spéirling prototypes required an external air bottle to pre-charge the system.
Suspension & Steering
- Increased suspension articulation, also with nominal ride height increase of 20% when in use.
- 11% wider front and 3% wider rear off-the-shelf slick Michelin tires. Increased sidewall height by 15mm front and rear to improve compliance.
- Electric power steering system replaced by a hydraulic power-assisted steering system with Formula 1-style valving for lighter steering and increased driver feedback.
- Electronically adjustable dampers as an optional extra.
No more than 100 examples of the Spéirling PURE will be produced. First customer deliveries begin later in 2026.
