McLaren Artura Spider 3.0 V6 (700 Hp) Plug-in Hybrid SSG
Overall Rating
McLaren Artura:
The McLaren Artura is a hybrid electric sports car designed and manufactured by the British car manufacturer McLaren Automotive since 2022. It is the third hybrid by the company since the P1 and Speedtail, and the first with a V6 engine.
The name Artura was announced on 23 November 2020. It is a combination of the words art and future. It inaugurates a new carbon fibre chassis called MCLA.
The Artura uses an all-new 2,993 cc twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with an electric motor to produce a combined output of 500 kW at 7,500 rpm and 720 N⋅m of torque at 2,250 rpm. On its own, the engine produces 430 kW and 584 N⋅m of torque. The all-aluminium engine has a bank angle of 120 degrees, a world first for a production V6 engine. This is to accommodate a hot-vee layout, where the two turbochargers are placed in the vee of the engine. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an all-new 8 speed dual-clutch transmission. Redline is at 8,500 rpm....(Read more on Wikipedia)
