Almost twenty years after it released the legendary F1, McLaren has revealed its latest creation. Gone are the days of the BMW-sourced naturally aspirated V12. Now, McLaren has given the Artura the company’s first V6 PHEV powertrain.
All-new from the ground up, the Artura is built on the compact McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA), specifically developed for the next generation of McLaren hybrid supercars.
Engineers chose to drop the V8 in favor of a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 which delivers 577 hp and 431 lb-ft (585 Nm) of torque.

Better yet, McLaren’s promise to have the “
distillation of more than half-a-century of expertise and experience in race- and road-car engineering” inside the Artura brought spectacular technical specifications - we’re already wondering if they underrated the power just like on the 765LT. It also brought little to no compromises in terms of styling.
