The electric vehicle McMurtry Speirling has managed to go upside down.

The 1,000 horsepower electric racing car McMurtry Speirling has broken new ground in automotive history by challenging not only speed but also the laws of physics. In the tests carried out in April 2025, it broke the 20-year record on the Top Gear test track and became the first car to go upside down. These two achievements revealed the point reached in automobile technology.

The electric vehicle that went upside down broke the record.

The most striking feature of the Speirling is that it relies not only on aerodynamic parts but also on large fans to increase downforce. While conventional cars apply more pressure to the ground by directing the airflow upwards as they accelerate, the Speirling does this by pulling air from under the vehicle.

The giant fans in the underbody create a vacuum effect, allowing the vehicle to virtually stick to the ground. This technology was tested in the 1970s with the Chaparral 2J and in 1978 with the Brabham BT46B, but was banned due to the extraordinary advantages it provided on the tracks.

Thanks to the vacuum effect created by the fans, Speirling can create 2,000 kilograms of downforce despite its weight of 1,000 kilograms. This theoretically makes it possible for the vehicle to travel upside down.

The McMurtry team put this theory to the test in practice. During the test, the vehicle managed to stay stationary and move in an inverted position for a short time. Thus, for the first time in history, a car went upside down against gravity.

Speirling, who also achieved significant success on the Top Gear test track on the same day, achieved the fastest lap time ever recorded on this track with a time of 55.9 seconds. The previous record was set by the 2004 Renault F1 car in 59 seconds.

The newly developed technologies provide concrete clues about the high-performance electric vehicles of the future. So what do you think about this vehicle? You can share your opinions with us in the comments section below.
