McLaren Artura review
The McLaren Artura review is rolling out as a 680-horsepower hybrid supercar that reviewers tag as a $240K British beast — hybrid torque plus instant response is the headline (youtube.com). The wider point from reviewers: electrified powertrains are now performance-first in the supercar segment, not a compromise (youtube.com).
McLaren builds the Artura on its carbon-fibre MCLA chassis at the Woking factory, a layout that underpins the coupe and Spider variants in McLaren’s current range. (cars.mclaren.com) The Artura pairs McLaren’s M630 3.0‑litre twin‑turbo V6 with an axial‑flux electric motor and an 8‑speed SSG transmission; the electric motor is rated at about 70 kW (≈94 hp) and the usable battery is listed at roughly 7.4 kWh. (ultimatespecs.com) McLaren quotes an electric‑only WLTP range in the low tens of kilometres (around 19–31 km depending on test cycles) and a fast‑charging time measured in a few hours on common AC chargers for the 7.4 kWh pack. (auto-data.net) Independent testers praise the Artura’s chassis balance, steering feel and the responsiveness of the hybrid system while calling out a somewhat familiar exterior and a less emotive exhaust note compared with some rivals. (topgear.com) Pricing varies by market and specification: UK list pricing for revised Artura models has been reported from about £185,945, and U.S. pricing aggregators and reviews place range and optioned examples well above mid‑six‑figures once Performance and exhaust packages are added. (autocar.co.uk) McLaren has expanded the line with a Spider open‑top and ongoing powertrain/chassis refinements noted in 2025–2026 reviews, while reviewers continue to compare the Artura directly with mid‑engine hybrid rivals such as Ferrari’s 296 for driving engagement and value.
