Three-quarters front view of a McLaren Artura, on display at the 2023 British Motor Show
The McLaren Artura is a hybrid electric sports car designed and manufactured by the British car manufacturer McLaren Automotive since 2022. It is the second hybrid by the company since the P1 and the first with a V6 engine. The name Artura was announced on 23 November 2020. It is a combination of the words art and future. It inaugurates a new carbon fiber chassis called MCLA (McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture). The Artura uses an all-new 2,993 cm3 ( L; cu in) twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with an electric motor to produce a combined output of 500 kW (680 PS; 671 hp) at 7,500 rpm and 720 N⋅m (531 lb⋅ft) of torque at 2,250 rpm. On its own, the engine produces 430 kW (585 PS; 577 hp) 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. The electric motor used in the Artura produces 70 kW (95 PS) 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 kilowatt-hours (27 MJ) lithium-ion battery pack weighs 88 kg (194 lb) and is positioned under the rear of the passenger compartment. McLaren claims a time for an 80 percent charge using an EVSE cable and a 31 km (19 mi) 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 km (19 mi) on electric-only mode.
