We can now confirm that the new McLaren Artura will be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine. Paired with an axial flux E-motor, the powertrain will produce a combined 671 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. Broken down further, the V6 contributes 577 hp and 431 lb-ft on its own, which works out to almost 200 hp per liter. The E-motor produces up to 166 lb-ft instantly, along with 94 hp.
McLaren says that not only does this setup give the rear-wheel-drive Artura the sharpest-ever throttle response from a McLaren, but it enables a 0-62 mph run of three seconds dead. 0-124 mph flies by in just 8.3 seconds and 0-186 mph in 21.5 seconds. The top speed limiter only spoils the fun at 205 mph.
McLaren promised something extravagantly impressive for its first series-production High-Performance Hybrid supercar, and the new 2022 McLaren Artura certainly
Power-To-Weight: 481 Horsepower Per Ton
All that power means nothing if you re carrying a lot of weight. There s no single answer to creating a plug-in hybrid weighing just 3,075 lbs; that weight is measured without fluids, but it s still incredible. Making the Artura as light as possible starts with the all-new carbon fiber chassis and gets as pedantic as shaving ten percent of weight from the electrical cabling system. McLaren said some time ago it wouldn t build an electric car until batteries were light enough; well that day is fast approaching, as the battery pack weighs just 195 lbs while the electric motor comes in at 34 lbs. McLaren shunned its usual V8 for the all-new dry-sump turbo V6 and saved a further 110 lbs doing so, resulting in a supercar that s a featherweight despite its electric augmentation.
