Where we’ve been, and where to see us next…
29 October 2026
We’ve been out and about quite a lot recently. Not sure if you’ve noticed… Our famous ‘Monterey Green’-coloured Spéirling PURE has barely stood still, and there’s plenty more where this came from.
Here you can find all the information you need about where the McMurtry team will be showcasing a Spéirling PURE very soon. But first, a quick picture round-up of where we’ve been sprinkling a little fan dust of late.
WHERE WE’VE BEEN
Tutto Bene Hillclimb – Stresa, Italy
Our Spéirling PURE prototype – driven by McMurtry boss Thomas Yates – took to the roads around Lake Maggiore with a police escort for the rather stylish Italian hillclimb event.
British GT – Brands Hatch, UK
For the final round of the British GT Championship, we made camp at the SRO hospitality building, speaking to fans, drivers and customers. We also couldn’t resist a quick photoshoot on the start-finish straight…
La Squadra Track Day – Silesia Ring, Poland
La Squadra is Poland’s premier super and hypercar dealer that has grown into a broader car culture brand. The Spéirling PURE was on static display at Silesia Ring, and took part in one of the coolest photoshoots we’ve ever done. How’s this for a new wallpaper…
Castle Combe Circuit – Chippenham, UK
With our Test Driver Max Chilton at the wheel of a Spéirling PURE prototype, we put on a show for the local crowd at our home circuit. (P.S., this car and driver combo hold the lap record here.)
Bicester Scramble – Oxfordshire, UK
For a spot of scrambling around the old RAF Bicester aircraft hangars. A Spéirling PURE production car found its home on the Top Gear stand for the day. Many passionate and knowledgeable fans stopped by for a poke around our latest creation.
WHERE TO SEE US NEXT…
McMurtry Technology will be on full display at a duo of exhibition shows in November. Did you know…? McMurtry Technology works with OEMs to implement the same patented battery, fan downforce and powertrain technologies behind the record-breaking Spéirling into their vehicle programmes.
At both events, a production-spec Spéirling PURE will be on display, so here’s your chance to see it in the carbon if you plan on visiting.
Speak with Iain Wight – Director of McMurtry Technology – and Thomas Rose – Commercial Engineering Manager – in person at the events to understand how McMurtry Technology can support your project, right through to whole-vehicle design integration and build.
Advanced Engineering Show – NEC, Birmingham, UK
4th-5th November
Thomas Rose will host a talk on Thursday 5th November at 14:20 as part of the ‘Automotive, Mobility & Electrification Forum’, explaining how McMurtry Technology can accelerate your high-performance battery programme.
PMW Expo – Cologne, Germany
11th-12th November
Thomas Rose will again host on Thursday 12th November at 14:00 on the main PMW stage on McMurtry Technology’s high-performance battery services.

About McMurtry:
McMurtry Automotive is a UK-based manufacturer, co-founded in 2016 by the late engineering pioneer, Sir David McMurtry, and ex-Formula 1 engineer, Thomas Yates.
With a clear vision to design and build vehicles that deliver the highest levels of exhilaration and performance, the McMurtry team continues to leverage its unique engineering creativity to work outside of established industry norms to create a track vehicle unlike anything else in the automotive world.
The Spéirling PURE is a single-seater, electric hyper track car that delivers truly accessible Formula 1-level performance. Centring around McMurtry’s fan-based Downforce-on-DemandTM system, it generates 2000kg of downforce, available at 0mph. A 100kWh Lithium-Ion battery produces 1000bhp, launching the car from 0-60mph in 1.55 seconds, and on to 190mph.
Small, lightweight and supremely agile, the Spéirling PURE empowers drivers of all levels to experience forces that were once only accessible to elite-level racing drivers, pulling 3g in the corners and 3g under braking. Prototype Spéirling models have proven their speed, shattering outright records at the Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb and the Top Gear Test Track.
Designed with ease of ownership in mind, the Spéirling PURE is plug-and-play, and can be enjoyed with the bare minimum of trackside support with just a driver and competent friend.
McMurtry Technology – the company’s applied technology arm – works with global OEMs to deliver patented fan downforce systems, bespoke high-performance batteries and electric powertrains, all the way up to full vehicle design and build. Using proven, record-setting engineering solutions, McMurtry Technology offers unique services to enhance performance and efficiency across numerous sectors.
