McLaren Artura: new era hybrid supercar breaks cover
(McLaren)
Hollow eye sockets from the 720S. Flying buttresses from the 570S. Laser-cut rear mesh from the 765LT. Yep, this is a McLaren alright. But while many details look familiar, the Artura is entirely new under the skin.
McLaren’s first plug-in hybrid, the Artura effectively replaces the ‘entry-level’ Sports Series range of cars: 540C, 570S, 570GT, 600LT and 620R. It pairs a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine with an electric motor for a combined 680hp. Zero to 62mph takes 3.0 seconds and top speed is limited – yes, limited – to 205mph.
More remarkable, perhaps, are the electric-only range of 18.6 miles and CO2 emissions of 129g/km – making this easily the greenest McLaren ever. It’s available to order now, priced from £185,500.
