*Philip Kadoorie is currently campaigning a Group C Porsche 962 in historic motorsport. It was Philips first time driving the PURE, having driven the previous model on one occasion before.
*Thomas Yates, McMurtry managing director, was driving the Silver Goodwood record holding Spéirling. It was his debut at this iconic Californian circuit.
*The McMurtry Spéirling PURE hyper-track car starts at £895k + taxes & delivery. (Equivalent approx $US 1.178m)
*The 60kWh battery in the Spéirling PURE Validation Prototype 1 uses high performance Molicel lithium-ion cells and the customer cars will have an enhanced 100kWh battery using the new Molicel P50B cells to achieve a 20 min run time at GT3 pace.
