This balanced powertrain ensures optimal performance, efficiency, and lap times. With a top speed of 190 mph and the ability to achieve 3G cornering forces, the Spéirling PURE offers an adrenaline-pumping ride on the most demanding tracks.
Furthermore, the car’s fast-charging capability allows for a full charge in under 20 minutes, making it ideal for multi-lap runs on race circuits. The Spéirling PURE has been designed to meet motorsport standards, with a carbon fiber monocoque providing both strength and lightness. The car’s adjustable pedals and steering wheel can accommodate drivers up to 6’7″ and 330lbs, ensuring a comfortable and inclusive driving experience.
