The McLaren Artura is a hybrid sports car designed and manufactured by the British car manufacturer McLaren Automotive, scheduled to enter production from 2021.

Overview

The name of the second hybrid McLaren and the first McLaren with a V6 engine was announced on 23 November 2020.

It inaugurates a new carbon fiber chassis called MCLA (McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture).

Specifications

Engine

The Artura uses an all-new 2,993 cc (3.0 L; 182.6 cu in) twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with an electric motor to produce a combined output of 680 PS; 671 hp (500 kW) at 7,500 rpm and 720 N⋅m (531 lb⋅ft) of torque at 2,250 rpm. On its own, the engine produces 585 PS; 577 hp (430 kW) and 584 N⋅m (431 lb⋅ft) of torque. The all-aluminum 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.

Electric motor

The electric motor used in the Artura produces 95 PS (94 hp; 70 kW) and 225 N⋅m (166 ft⋅lb) of torque. The combined torque peak is less than the sum of both sides as the output is limited to "optimize powertrain drivability characteristics." The 7.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack weighs 88 kg (194 lb) and is positioned under the rear of the passenger compartment. McLaren claims a 2.5-hour time for an 80 percent charge using an EVSE cable and a 19-mile electric range under European testing methodology. This motor replaces the reverse gear, similar to the Ferrari SF90 Stradale. The total mass of all electrical components is 130 kg (287 lb), which means that the Artura has a kerb weight only 46 kg (102 lb) more than that of its predecessor, the McLaren 570S. The Artura has a range of 19 mi (30.6 km) on electric-only mode.

Performance

According to McLaren, the Artura can accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.9 seconds, to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 8.3 seconds, can achieve a maximum speed of 330 km/h (205 mph), and has a 1⁄4 mile (402 m) time of 10.7 seconds.
