It beat the world record lap time in 2022 - this is their even faster version, it's an unofficial run but apparently matched 39s..

Just bonkers but this is the fan car to die for. Possibly my favourite car of all time: the Chappral 2J  |

I like this fan car:   That was even more impressive in performance than the ground effect cars of the era. |

And it turns out was not illegal to the rules (because technically it was a cooling fan) - even though it was chucking rubbish at great speed at following cars. It had to go.

It would also have provided some thrust.

So you get your Brabham, Borg gets his McMurty and I get my Chaparral. All that's left now is for Santa Claus to exist and all of us to be good. Think it's that last bit that's nobbling the plan

I'd rather have that electric-powered aircraft they're working on for Finnair as opposed to any car, or one of those flying motorbikes the cops are now using in Dubai:
If I was rich enough to afford a McMurtry, it's very unlikely I'd buy one or any flashy car. It's likely to get you shot/killed and stolen in certain parts around here and the Deep South so no thanks
