Described as “the distillation of more than half-a-century of McLaren’s expertise and experience in race and road-car engineering,” the Artura blends thrilling performance, driving dynamics and engagement with EV driving capability.
The first model to be built on all-new McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA), uniquely optimised for HPH powertrains and built in-house at the McLaren Composites Technology Centre (MCTC) in the Sheffield region, England.
The Artura is the most fuel-efficient McLaren ever produced (50+ mpg, 129 g/km CO2 in combined EU WLTP*); 7.4 kWh battery supports 30 km* electric-only range.
It boasts a lightweight body featuring super-formed aluminium and carbon fibre, with perfect supercar proportions. The form-follows-function design philosophy gives a shrinkwrapped, pure and functional look.
Features include class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 488 PS/tonne* (at lightest dry weight of 1,395 kg*); super-lightweight engineering makes the Artura lightest in its class with kerb weight (DIN) of just 1,498 kg* and a powertrain comprising all-new twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine with an E-motor and energy-dense battery pack, producing combined outputs of 680 PS (671 bhp) and 720 Nm (530 lb ft).
Its vital stats include 585 PS (577 bhp) – approaching 200 horsepower per litre – and 585 Nm from all-new V6 and 95PS E-motor delivers instant torque of up to 225 Nm, ensuring sharpest-ever throttle response from a McLaren supercar and ferocious acceleration: 0–100 km/h in 3.0 seconds*; 0–200 km/h in 8.3 seconds*; and 0–300 km/h in 21.5 seconds*.
Inside, a completely new interior comprises all key controls accessible with hands on the wheel; new 8-inh HD touchscreen infotainment system enabling configuration of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS); and smartphone mirroring, plus groundbreaking electrical architecture enables Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, integrated stolen vehicle tracking (available in certain markets) and future upgrades.
