An Electric Car Drove Upside Down. The Secret Lies in Its Engineering. McMurtry’s Spéirling can produce maximum downforce at 0 mph thanks to a fan system that “sucks” the car into the ground.

Driving upside down has long been a bit of a gag among engineers, but the McMurtry Spéirling just proved once and for all that it can be done. You have to see it for yourself.
