"...just raw and unfiltered ceiling grip."

GOODWOOD, UK—In the latest example of technology outpacing human need, the McMurtry Spéirling has officially become the first production car capable of driving upside down—because no one at McMurtry has ever heard of enough.

The record-breaking electric fan car, already infamous for sticking to racetracks like brown on rice, has demonstrated it can generate enough downforce at speed to drive on the ceiling of a tunnel. A feature described by engineers as “a testament to what's possible” and by everyone else as “cool, but... why?”

“Ever since we saw that scene in Men in Black where Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones drive upside down through a tunnel, we knew what the automotive world needed,” said McMurtry spokesperson Clive Merton. “Not more range, not affordability, not reliability—just raw and unfilitered ceiling grip. That’s innovation.”

The announcement was accompanied by a dramatic video showing the Spéirling hanging upside down from a platform roof and accelerating across a distance of eight inches. Skeptics online questioned the feature, with one commenter asking, “What problem are we solving? When's the last time you went through a tunnel? What are they doing?”

McMurtry insists it’s practical. “Imagine you’re being chased by aliens, or tax authorities, or both,” Merton explained. “Wouldn’t you want a car that can defy physics and look like a mini batmobile simultaneously?”

Experts agree the average driver has absolutely no use for this function. “This isn’t for people,” said automotive analyst Sofia Delgado. “This is for nobody, but maybe it will make an appearance on the next Fast & the Furious movie.”
