McLaren’s Artura Spider review
The McLaren Artura Spider Formula One Special Edition is being reviewed as a true F1‑inspired hybrid supercar — light, precision‑focused, and tuned for driver engagement rather than showroom flash. (vicrezdriver.com)
McLaren will build exactly ten Artura Spider MCL39 Championship Edition cars, a one‑off MSO series created to mark the team’s 10th Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship. (cars.mclaren.com) The special edition wears a hand‑painted MSO Bespoke Myan Orange and Onyx Black livery, with extended satin carbon sills signed by drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, ‘10’ embroidery on the headrests and a custom track‑record plaque listing the 2025 season’s wins, poles and fastest laps. (cars.mclaren.com) McLaren confirms the MCL39 cars use the Artura’s High‑Performance Hybrid hardware — a 120° twin‑turbo 3.0‑litre V6 complemented by an electric motor delivering up to 95 PS, for a combined peak of 700 PS. (cars.mclaren.com) The Artura’s published technical figures apply to the Championship Edition as well: a 7.4‑kWh battery, WLTP electric range around 19 miles (30 km), 0–62 mph in roughly 3.0 seconds and a 205 mph top speed; dry weight is listed at 1,457 kg. (ultimatespecs.com) McLaren and automotive outlets describe the MCL39 as an MSO celebration package rather than a performance upgrade — the changes are focused on livery, trim and bespoke fittings (Black Pack, lightweight forged wheels and Stealth Exhaust Finisher) rather than mechanical revisions. ( ) McLaren is offering the ten cars by commission only through McLaren Special Operations and has not published a public price for the MCL39 Championship Edition. ( )
