Although electric power is not in the hearts of all enthusiasts, it must be recognized that it has some advantages. The McMurtry Speirling is the perfect illustration of this. When a prototype of 1000 kg, 1000 horsepower, of very small dimensions and generating 2,000 kg of aerodynamic downforce arrives, the counters go crazy. The machine reached 100 km/h in 1.5 seconds, and reached 3G downforce thanks to an active system directly inspired by the Chaparral 2J and Brabham BT46B! Speed records are falling one by one, all with a high-pitched vacuum cleaner whistle. Yes, you can't have everything!
