When the Aston Martin Valkyrie broke the production car record at the Top Gear test track, I mentioned that the McMurtry Spéirling had a real chance to claim the outright record. Fast-forward just two weeks later, and the one-seater EV insanity is indeed the new undisputed king. At long last, the 2004 Renault R24 Formula 1 car has been dethroned, some 21 years after climbing on top of the leaderboard.
