this is the first that I am hearing about this, has anybody else heard of this thing?

0-60 in 1.40 seconds

qtr mile in under 8 seconds and that is speed limited to 150...

besides the UK getting the coolest street legal cars, the track version can be tuned down to have GT4 performance handle a 20 min track session and be recharged in time for the next session.

I shared a "best of" video from Goodwood 2022 not too long ago that featured the Speirling:

[ICYMI: The top 10 fastest cars at Goodwood | Video]

Pretty wild considering it set a record time of 00:39.08.

I saw a video of its run at Goodwood and it felt like the footage was sped up because it was so unbelievably fast.

It's a vacuum car. Nothing new here beyond being electric. I'm sure the speed is exhilarating. I think I'd rather drive and own just about anything else.

Possibly the most unfortunate car in existence. Do you think it knows how weird it looks? Do you think it knows what it could have looked like if just a bit wider and longer?

It looks like a full-size Micromachine.

If anyone knows electrics and wants to build the GRM version of this to destroy all track records hit me up. I'm down for rolling our own. We can make it look cool also.
