New Era
The new McLaren Artura marks the beginning of a new era for the British company. They will bring their full expertise in hybrid powertrain engineering to the supercar class. Furthermore, the Artura name will belong to their first High-Performance Hybrid series production supercar.
McLaren CEO Mike Flewitt stated, “Every element of the Artura is all-new – from the platform architecture and every part of the High-Performance Hybrid powertrain, to the exterior body, interior and cutting-edge driver interface – but it draws on decades of McLaren experience in pioneering super-lightweight race and road car technologies to bring all of our expertise in electrification to the supercar class.”
Hybrid
The McLaren Artura name marks the debut of an all new hybrid powertrain. It has a new compact twin-turbocharged V6 along with an electric motor. In addition, they claim the new hybrid retains the performance benefits of their V8 engines while also having improvements in torque response at low engine speeds. Furthermore, the Artura can run on electric power alone for everyday emission-free urban journeys.
New Platform
The Artura will be the first car to feature an all new platform architecture with optimization for electrification. It will be designed and manufactured at the McLaren Composite Technology Center. Also, the Artura name further enhances their commitment to super lightweight principles with roots in motorsport. In addition, the added mass of the hybrid system will be largely offset by weight saving technologies in the chassis, body, and powertrain.
