McLaren Kuala Lumpur officially launched the Artura in Malaysia today at the brand’s showroom in Glenmarie, Shah Alam.
Priced at RM1,050,000, the McLaren Artura, which is McLaren’s first series-production hybrid supercar, is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine which is assisted by a compact 94 bhp electric motor, producing 680 PS and 720 Nm of torque.
The electric motor here is capable of generating 95 PS and 225 Nm by itself and boasts a power density per kilo 33% greater than the system used in the McLaren P1.
Paired to the engine and motor is an eight-speed twin-clutch transmission which sends all the power exclusively to the rear wheels, and also McLaren’s first electronic differential.
The powertrain enables the Artura which weighs 1,498 kg to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.0 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h in just 8.3 seconds, and 0 to 300 km/h in 21.5 seconds.

Complementing the drivetrain is a new rear suspension concept, an uprated electro-hydraulic steering system, as well as the Proactive Damping Control system which enhances agility, stability, and overall driving dynamics of the car.
Also part of the package is a 7.4 kWh battery which enables the Artura to cover up to 30 km in pure electric mode at speeds up to 50 km/h. There are four driving modes to choose from – E, Comfort, Sport, and Track.
Here to succeed the 570S, the Artura is the first model to be underpinned by the McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA) chassis which is uniquely optimised for high-power hybrid powertrains.
Thanks to the lightweight chassis and a generous dose of carbon fibre, the Artura has an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 488 PS per tonne. Since it is a hybrid, the Artura also happens to be the most fuel-efficient McLaren to date.
Fitted as standard are next-generation Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres which are said to offer grip levels that are comparable to the P Zero Trofeo R on the McLaren 600 LT.

Sporting a low-nose, cab-forward, high-tail stance, highlights on the Artura’s exterior include LED headlights and taillights, as well as McLaren’s signature dihedral doors.
Inside, the Artura features a completely new interior unlike any other model in the stable, featuring a new eight-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone mirroring.
The hybrid supercar also comes with the Clubsport seat, which uniquely combines the range of motion expected of a moveable backrest with the light weight and support of a bucket seat. A Comfort seat option is also available.
Another highlight of the Artura is that it comes with the new McLaren infotainment and connectivity system (MIS II) which utilises two high-definition screens.
The interface is built on all-new software and bespoke hardware to deliver a smartphone level of responsiveness and is also capable of smartphone mirroring.

The system also also optionally enables a number of ADAS driver assistance features like Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop/Go function, Lane-Departure Warning, High-Beam Assist, and Road-Sign Recognition.
Last but not least, the Artura features a Bluetooth low-energy vehicle key which detects when the driver is heading towards the vehicle and powers up systems to welcome occupants. This includes ambient, ‘hidden-until-lit’ lighting in the doors, also acting as puddle lamps.
Every McLaren Artura comes as standard with a five-year vehicle warranty, a six-year battery warranty and 10-year body warranty.
