McMurtry Automotive is preparing to commence production of its hyper track car, the McMurtry Spéirling PURE. Spéirling is an electric single-seater fan car, best known for breaking the Goodwood Hill Climb record and becoming the first car to drive upside down.
Inspired by Sir David McMurtry’s philosophy of innovating where others cannot, McMurtry Automotive continues to leverage engineering creativity and work outside of convention and “industry norms.” The approach has seen it generate more than 22 patents while meeting all technical and commercial targets to date, with the business now preparing for growth. David’s sons Richard and Ben – both existing members of the board and day-zero investors are committed to continuing their father’s legacy to realize his vision for McMurtry Automotive.

Having already accumulated more than 5000 kilometers of test mileage with record setting prototypes, McMurtry is now preparing for Spéirling PURE production. The first customer car is expected to be handed over this summer. To facilitate this, the company has invested in a new 2,700-square-meter facility in Wotton-under-Edge, England. This expansion, alongside McMurtry’s existing HQ, will provide the required facilities for production while also enabling McMurtry Automotive to expand its model range in future years.
Given the scale of innovations developed through the Spéirling program, the decision was made to establish McMurtry Technology. The new division will be located in the original Swinhay House estate, which will also be expanded. McMurtry Technology will be focused on commercializing the intellectual property, technology, processes, expertise, and approach that have made McMurtry Automotive successful as a hypercar manufacturer – enabling other OEMs to benefit.
McMurtry Technology will offer a combination of innovative products and creative engineering services through five areas of specialization: Downforce on Demand, Performance Battery Technology, Electric Powertrains, Vehicle Lightweighting and Vehicle Software.
McMurtry Technology currently has a number of high-profile clients and is already generating revenues in seven figures, highlighting the worldwide requirement for McMurtry’s technology.
