The corporate had beforehand mentioned plans for a road-going model of the Spéirling, however the Spéirling Pure nonetheless appears primarily centered on observe driving.

Different elements, together with the wiring loom, wheels, braking system, pedal field, and energy steering unit, have been focused for weight financial savings as nicely.
McMurtry plans to start testing a validation prototype of the Spéirling Pure within the U.Okay. and Europe later this 12 months, alongside a marketing campaign to interrupt extra data.
