McLaren has unveiled the Artura Spider, its first-ever convertible with a high-performance hybrid powertrain. This exciting new model joins the Artura coupe, offering the same exhilarating performance with the added exhilaration of open-air driving.
Enhanced Power and Performance:
Both the Spider and the coupe benefit from significant upgrades to power, performance, and driver engagement. The hybrid powertrain has been recalibrated, delivering a combined 700 horsepower, a 20-horsepower increase from the previous version. This translates to thrilling acceleration, with the Spider hitting 0-62 mph in just 3.0 seconds.
Lightweight Champion:
Despite the addition of the retractable hardtop, the Artura Spider remains incredibly lightweight. At just 1,457 kg (dry weight), it’s the lightest car in its class by a significant margin. This exceptional weight-to-power ratio translates to razor-sharp handling and exhilarating performance.
Open-Air Bliss:
The electrically operated retractable hardtop opens and closes in just 11 seconds, transforming the Artura from a sleek coupe to a thrilling open-air roadster. Whether cruising down the highway or attacking a winding road, the Spider offers an unforgettable driving experience.
Refined Driving Dynamics:
The Artura Spider benefits from a series of enhancements designed to deliver exceptional handling and driver engagement. New engine mounts and revised dampers improve stability and responsiveness, while the latest Pirelli Cyber Tyre technology provides real-time tire pressure data for optimal performance.
Choice and Customization:
The Artura Spider is available in a wide range of exterior and interior options, allowing you to personalize your car to your individual style. From a vibrant palette of exterior paint colors to luxurious interior materials, you can create an Artura Spider that reflects your personality.
The Artura Spider and the new Artura coupe are now available to order, with deliveries starting in mid-2024 depending on your region.
