British electric hypercar impresses by defying gravity with a system that generates vacuum and allows stability even upside down
A stunning image worthy of a science fiction film shows the McMurtry Spéirling completely stopped — upside down. The feat was made possible by a unique system developed by British manufacturer McMurtry Automotive.
The Spéirling is a hypercar electric single-seat. Its name, which means “storm” in Irish, was chosen in honor of the native language of the company’s founder, David McMurtry.
The car attracted attention not only for its futuristic appearance, but also for being able to remain stable even in an inverted position.

Exclusive system creates vacuum under the vehicle
The feat is the result of the Downeyforce-on-Demand system, patented by McMurtry itself. According to the company, it is capable of creating a vacuum under the car floor.
This negative pressure is enough to generate a force greater than gravity, which makes it possible to keep the vehicle suspended upside down.
McMurtry explains that while other hypercars and race cars can only generate downforce at high speeds, through aerodynamic surfaces, the Spéirling can achieve the same effect even when stationary. This makes it unique in the segment.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 1,5 seconds
In addition to its innovative grip system, the Spéirling also impresses with its performance. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1,5 seconds. Despite its current prominence, the British startup is already planning improvements for the model.
The company's goal is to produce 100 units of the hypercar by 2026. However, technical updates will still be made, such as the development of a battery with greater capacity.
