World's fastest car developer McMurtry Automotive teams up with myenergi
Record-breaking electric supercar manufacturer McMurtry Automotive has entered into a strategic partnership with green-tech company myenergi to further accelerate the motor industry's transition to electrification.
Stonehouse, Gloucestershire-based McMurtry Automotive, which was founded by Sir David McMurtry, founder and chairman of the global manufacturing company Renishaw, is behind the Speirling.
The 1,000bhp electric single seater, piloted by former F1 driver Max Chilton, set a new hill climb record at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed and has since demonstrated a world beating 0-60mph time of just 1.40 seconds.
Lincolnshire-based myenergi is renowned for its solar-compatible zappi EV charger.
The two companies will unite across a series of ground-breaking initiatives, with myenergi branding set to appear on the Spéirling.
Jordan Brompton, co-founder and CMO of myenergi, said: ”Our mission is to pioneer a simple transition to renewable energy, so we are incredibly excited to be partnering with a fellow pioneer that is working on that same transition with what is arguably the world’s most exciting electric car.
"We are very clear that, to reach mass adoption, our message needs to reach beyond early adopters and to a new audience. The partnership with McMurtry Automotive gives us that reach to a whole new legion of future fans.”
Thomas Yates, Managing Director of McMurtry Automotive, added: “The collaboration was born after the two companies met in 2022.
"It was clear we both shared a desire to showcase the best of British-engineered EV products on the world stage.
"We’re very excited for myenergi to joining us for the challenge to break more four wheeled records with the McMurtry Spéirling."
