00:00Welcome to the video from the Car Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:03Today we're talking about a spectacular premiere in the world of electric super sports cars.
00:08The McMurray Sparling is the first car ever that can actually drive upside down.
00:14What was previously considered a mere myth or an exaggerated Formula One saying,
00:19namely that a racing car could drive upside down, has now become reality.
00:23And no, this is not an April Fool's joke.
00:26McMurray has proven it and delivered a demonstration with the Sparling that has left mouths open around the world.
00:36The compact, electrically powered hypercar with around 1000 horsepower and an extremely powerful fan system for generating downforce managed to first pick up speed on a specially developed ramp and then switch to a special platform that turned the vehicle completely upside down.
00:52And the incredible thing is, the Sparling stayed put.
00:59Completely independently and without any further security, it continued driving upside down.
01:04This is made possible by the downforce on demand system, which works regardless of speed.
01:10Essentially a vacuum system that literally sucks the vehicle onto the asphalt or onto the platform floor.
01:16Looking back, McMurray's managing director and co-founder, Thomas Yates, described the event as a fantastic day at the office.
01:26But that's probably an understatement because while other manufacturers are still talking about visions of the future,
01:32McMurray demonstrated what is already technically possible today.
01:35The Sparling's fan system can generate around 2 tons of downforce.
01:42A value that is rare on this scale, even for top racing cars.
01:47The platform on which Sparling drove over COP was custom-made and designed for precisely this purpose.
01:53It impressively demonstrated that the principle works even without speed.
01:59Quite unlike conventional vehicles, which only generate downforce through high speed.
02:06McMurray had previously broken a long-term lap record on the TV show Top Gear with the Sparling,
02:11and this event was the icing on the cake.
02:15Jess hinted that this was just the beginning.
02:17With a longer upside-down track or a tunnel, it would be possible to travel significantly greater distances upside-down.
02:29Perhaps some of you are already dreaming of a Luna Loop on the Moon.
02:33With the Sparling, anything seems possible.
02:37As always, you'll find the link to read the article in our magazine in the video description.
