Ever see a car go so fast the camera operator struggles to keep up? That’s what it’s like to watch the McMurtry Speirling–a 1000-horsepower, all-electric fan car–set a record time of 00:39.08 in the Speed Timed Shootout during the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
For comparison, watch the other top nine fastest cars at Goodwood, the "slowest" of which was a Dodge Viper GTS-R.

So...by my count the top 10 fastest are half electric...color me impressed! The McMurtry is insane...I actually gasped out loud at how fast it is while watching the video.

The McMurty Looks like Part Robocop, part Back to the Future II and part Shelby Daytona all Rolled into one awesome Machine.

A boxer engine Subaru was 4th. That is impossible if you read this forum!

It's a fan car.
You could drive it on the ceiling of a tunnel!

In reply to bentwrench :
You're right, I'd seen that. All of the downforce without the inherent drag of a winged car. It's surely got some sort of variability in the amount of downforce depending on requirements, too.
Not eligible for Pikes Peak.

The original fan / sucker car was built in TX a long time ago. It was declared illegal before it ever competed. Not all downforce is created equal.
