Every drop of McLaren’s technical expertise and experience has been channeled into making the Artura extraordinary to drive and wonderfully enjoyable to own. Ever since the 12C revolutionized the supercar segment a decade ago, McLaren Automotive has continued to push the boundaries of supercar innovation.
The McLaren P1 brought McLaren hybridization to the hypercar sector as long ago as 2012. The Speedtail introduced astonishing new levels of hybrid performance, its 403km/h (250mph) maximum speed making it the fastest-ever McLaren.
The brief for the Artura was even more challenging: to create a series-production High-Performance Hybrid supercar that excels on every level, with performance, engagement, and efficiency sharing equal top-billing.
The engineering and design team approached the challenge holistically – no single part of the process was undertaken in isolation – with ambitious targets set in every area: weight; performance; driver engagement; efficiency; agility; refinement; quality and usability.
Powered by a plug-in hybrid V6 engine, a departure from the previous V8 models, the Artura achieves a significant reduction in weight compared to its predecessors, helping to offset the additional weight of batteries and electric motors. With 670 hp and 720 Nm of torque, the Artura accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds and reaches an impressive top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h).
