This shaved off about 0.8 seconds from the previous record holder, the Volkswagen ID.R.
The race vehicle is also a fan car an additional technology that motorsporthasnt seen in quite some time.
This results in an incredibly efficient downforce 2,000kg to be exact.
And the best part?
This downforce doesnt scale with speed, its available at any pace thanks to the fans operation.
Speaking of speed, the Spierling is impressively fast.
It accelerates from zero to 60mph in 1.5 seconds, and it hit 241km/h during the race.
God, I cant wait.
