Starting from $238,000
The Artura arrived as McLaren's "entry-level" supercar, incorporating a powertrain that marked a significant change in direction for the British automaker. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine mounted in the middle of the car is McLaren's first six-cylinder engine and works with an electric motor and a small lithium-ion battery. The hybrid powertrain pumps out a generous 671 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque, propelling the two-door to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 205 mph. However, McLaren's first plug-in hybrid can also travel up to 17 km in the city on pure electric power and has a relatively smooth ride. The Artura sits below the new 750S in McLaren's lineup (about $100,000 cheaper) but nearly matches its big brother in terms of performance, while also offering a more comfortable, livable cabin and simpler styling.
McLaren offers the Artura in just one trim option, but there are countless options available, from different wheel designs and color combinations to carbon fiber trim, a rear spoiler and goodies like a front lift arm and heated side mirrors.
Artura is powered by a new hybrid twin-turbo V-6 that produces a total of 671 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque. The petrol engine is supported by an e-motor housed within the housing of the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and supported by a 7.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack located under the rear of the cabin. The new powertrain even allows for up to 11 miles of all-electric operation. The Artura is also the first McLaren to use the company's new Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA), which is said to be lighter than the structure of its predecessor. It's extremely sharp to handle and very effective for navigating a race track, but it also has a softer side that makes for a more comfortable ride when commuting or cruising on the highway.
The Artura's interior largely reflects McLaren's function-before-fashion approach. However, the cabin is equipped with more stylish materials such as leather and microsuede. It also has less visible carbon fiber than is typical in other models. Still, the company is known for minimalist cabin designs that limit the presence of physical switchgear and include steering wheels devoid of buttons, and the Artura is no exception. It comes standard with electrically adjustable seats, and McLaren appears to have excellent outward visibility to help drivers position the car precisely on the road or racetrack. Although not as roomy as the McLaren GT, the Artura has 6 cubic feet of cargo space in the front trunk.
Although the infotainment system in a McLaren is often an afterthought for shoppers, the Artura has a striking 8.0-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen with the usual features. This includes Bluetooth connectivity, onboard navigation, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a variety of audio equipment.
