Matās got his hands on the McMurtry SpĆ©irling, and heās about to find out if it can back up its claim of being the quickest accelerating road car ever made!
Now before he even gets behind the wheel, you need to know that the McMurtry comes with a reputation! It's claimed the record as being the fastest car to complete the Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb - beating an F1 car to the title by two whole seconds!
But what makes this lightning-fast single-seater so special? Well, it comes with an incredible fan system that helps to generate 2,000kg of downforce! This means the McMurtry is not only super quick off the line, but it can take corners at speed with ease.
In terms of power output, it has two electric motors that produce 1,000hp. Now you may not think thatās too impressive, given EVs such as the Rimac Nevera come with almost 2,000hp. However, whereas the Nevera weighs over 2 tonnes, the McMurtry SpĆ©irling weighs less than one tonne!!
Now, of course, all that power and performance doesnāt come cheap, costing just under Ā£2,000,000. But if the car can break records as it claims, then itās got to be worth it, right?
All we know is, this is one review you donāt want to miss! Will Mat go faster than heās ever been before? And more importantly, will he break some records?! Thereās only one way to find outā¦ Join us for this ultra-in-depth review and see for yourself!

0-60 in 1.4 seconds is actually something i did not think was possible, without it being a full on dragster. That's actually insane

Congrats on the 1.4.
That was fun to watch.
That car is sooooo sweet.
Designer and engineers deserve a medal

This is why this video has more views than any other video of the same car. Phenomenal production and a journalist who actually has humor instead of dull stats.

The way the whole team cheered at the 7.97" record was just extremely wholesome. Not to mention they want anyone who owns a hypercar to race against them and let them drive theirs too. Their marketing and confidence in their car is just on point.

The way they cheered for Matt's 7.97" record ā¤

Iāve gone 8.86 in the 1/4 mile and there are no words that can convey how brutal and mind blowing that feels. My eyes actually felt like the flattened out a bit and my vision became dark around the periphery. To go another second faster would be inconceivable. Matt, you lucky dog!

That car feels like the small toy cars on springs that you pull back and launch super fast but in real size, it's absolutely amazing how fast it goes

I just love how much trust and love McMurtry's people have for their product. I mean they help, and actually want, Mat get the most out of it, are all passionate, seems like a great company

0-60 in 1.4 seconds is astonishing for a leaf blower.
Seriously though, all joking aside. These guys are engineering phenoms. What a magnificent car!

Second time watching this. An absolute blast. Been 16 months and no news of anything coming close to it. Eye-watering.

That is one crazy goody looking little car . Just nuts.

Having an engineer on camera talk about the car in detail is priceless, cannot buy better marketing.

So this thing has the goodwood record, can run an 8 second 1/4 mile, in the damp, whilst limited to 150mph annnd has the ability to destroy Mat's brain.
McMurtry have made something incredibly special here.

I've watched plenty of tests and reviews and have never seen anything like this - the performance is hard to fully appreciate, Mat's reactions are priceless

This is the first electric car that I love instead of just respect. It has character, speed, sound. Props to McMurtry

Congratulations to the entire team at McMurtry. It is obvious that passion is all yours.

This is the coolest car thatās come out in a very long time! I have been fascinated by fan derived downforce for years and someone has finally done it! So exciting to see the possibilities in a working car!

Speechless! I cannot imagine how Mat was feeling during the launches! Probably epoch making historical turn of events feel like this!! Shivered a little actually while watching.

Fact: This channel has had 2 broken unofficial world records in 2 cars worth Ā£2 million or more. Now, that is a well-deserved achievement to Mat, his team at carwow and the companies that created such insane hypercars.
