This is the first McLaren Artura based on the new McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA). As a title, MP4-12C was the first production car to be fully designed and built by McLaren.
About eight years ago, McLaren launched electric super car hybrid racing with the best P1. The Artura P1 follows McLaren’s last hybrid supercar, but does not replace the new Artura P1. For starters, McLaren is less powerful than the Artura P1. The base price starts at 5,000 to 225,000 so it is “very profitable”, which is 1.5 million more than the celestial price of P1.
Yet Artura is truly a specialty. It is the first product made by a British manufacturer as a high performance hybrid supercar. This is the first McLaren Artura based on the new McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA). As a title, MP4-12C was the first production car to be fully designed and built by McLaren. After that, each McLaren 12C carbon fiber is based on an integrated chassis.
In general, Artura is above ground, and thanks to its plug-in hybrid electric drive, it swims in the same ocean as the famous P1. “Every drop of McLaren’s experience and expertise went to Arthur,” said Mike Flavid, CEO of McLaren Automotive. “Our new high-performance hybrid McLaren offers the added benefit of known performance, driver commitment and dynamic excellence, as well as driving electric vehicles.”
Styling and Design
McLaren played it safe while creating the new Artura however, Artura replaces the 570S in the McLaren column, which is not in the P1, so we are talking about McLaren at the basic level due to the lack of better words.
Yes, the Artura is a new car that looks like all the other vehicles in McLaren’s portfolio. However, if you look closely, you will see that the Artura room is a little different. In addition, the body lines function more than B1, while the wheel curves are more dramatic and defined.
Advanced hybrid construction
The carbon fiber is based on McLaren’s new MCLA architecture and features bespoke battery housing and an advanced domain based Ethernet architecture. It has built-in electric heating, ventilation and air conditioning. This new Ethernet system supports wireless updates, reduces cabling by 25 percent (saves weight) and speeds up data transfer. It also controls advanced security features such as custom travel control, lane departure alarm, automatic high beam assistance and traffic signaling.
In many words, McLaren refers to the Artura Software Limited car. This approach helps to reduce weight and increase performance, both of which are essential for a vehicle like the Artura.
Powertrain Features
Tell me what you like about styling, but about every McLaren machine from P1. Artura combines the best of the two worlds. It produces a new aluminum dry sump and turbocharged 3.0-liter V6M630 gas engine that produces 577 hp and 431 lb-ft of exhaust.
A small pivot flex electric motor in the Gear bell housing is connected to the hybrid area, producing 94 hp and 166 lb-ft. Torque. The combined power of 671 bhp is less compared to the 903 bhp hybrid powertrain of the powerful P1, but has a slip up to the Arthur sleeve.
The Artura V6 gas engine weighs just 353 pounds. 110. The comparison is lighter than the McLaren V8. It is rated at 8,500 rpm. Artura electric motor power density is 33% higher per kilogram than P1. It uses motor power from a small 7.4 kilowatt battery. The total weight of the hybrid components is just 287 pounds. After all, Artura weighs 3,303 pounds. According to McLaren, it is comparable to super cars comparable without a hybrid powertrain.
Comfortable performance, simple range
2021 Arthur’s lightweight adjustment will help achieve comfort performance statistics. Flattened for three seconds at a speed of 60 mph from zero; Accelerates from zero to 124 mph in just 8.3 seconds; It accelerates from zero to 186 mph in 21.5 seconds. McLaren quoted Artura at 205 mph. Artura’s all-electric ranges is acceptable at 30 km, while P1’s EPA limit is 19 km in EV mode.
No reverse gear, no problem!
That’s true. McLaren Arthur has no reverse gear. Instead, the electric motor is used to slide backwards. The Artura Hybrid Drive features a standard eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that transmits the rear wheels via electronically controlled differential or e-DIF. This e-DIF is intelligently transmitted and delivers torque on the rear axle to improve traction and handling McLaren Arthur. The Artura 600 LT and 720S use the same family of carbon-ceramic braking systems. The discs measure 15.4 inches at the front and 15 inches at the rear and work well with the new rear axle design.

Tires and suspension
The rear suspension of the McLaren Artura has two attachments at the top visor and bottom and a tie rod in front of the wheel hub. Apparently, this system increases stability and reduces under stein from the angle when accelerated, McLaren says.
Artura electrical configuration includes a wide range of Pirelli cyber tires with built – in hardware and software, each rubber has an electronic chip that generates live data, which is sent to Artura’s stability control system to improve tire performance. At the same time, these high-tech tires have sound absorption.
