2021 McLaren Artura Revealed: The High-Performance Hybrid Supercar

The electrified 2021 McLaren Artura is the brand’s first-ever series-production “High-Performance Hybrid (HPH) supercar with the benefit of lower emissions and faster throttle response.

The newly revealed 2021 McLaren Artura is the British automaker’s first-ever series-production “High-Performance Hybrid” (HPH) and combines the best of McLaren’s super-lightweight engineering with the added benefits of lower emissions and faster throttle response.

The aerodynamic electrified Artura is also the first model to be built on McLaren’s all-new Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA), designed to enhance the new High-Performance Hybrid (HPH) powertrain.

“From the very beginning of the project, designing and engineering the Artura has been all about challenging ourselves to innovate, pushing and pushing to achieve everything we knew a next-generation, High-Performance Hybrid McLaren supercar had to be. As a result, the Artura is all-new; the carbon fibre monocoque, electrical architecture and the body and interior are new. So too is the V6 engine, the transmission – which also integrates a new type of electric motor for the industry – as well as the rear suspension concept and our first-ever electronic differential,” says Geoff Grose, Chief Engineer of the McLaren Artura

Powered by a new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine with an electric motor and battery pack, the 2021 McLaren Artura’s total output is 671 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. With instant torque of up to 166lb-ft thanks to the electric motor, the McLaren Artura is capable of a top speed of 205mph and can hit 0-60 mph in 3.0 seconds, 0-124mph in 8.3 seconds, and 0-186mph in 21.5 seconds.

The McLaren Artura’s full Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) capability also allows the vehicle to be charged to 80% full in 2.5 hours and is their most fuel-efficient model to date, with a 19-mile electric-only range.

The Artura’s interior features an entirely new design with an ergonomic wheel design that allows the driver to reach all key controls without removing their hands from the wheel. A new 8-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system is included with smartphone mirroring for Apple CarPlay® and Android AutoTM.

McLaren is currently taking orders for the Artura with prices starting at USD$225,000 and deliveries excepted to begin from Q3 this year.
