"The new Artura is absolutely the complete next generation supercar, whichever model you choose. We have upgraded the powertrain and the chassis systems to deliver more power, more dynamic performance and even higher levels of connection with the driver – without any compromise in everyday driving. And now alongside the new Artura coupe we have the Artura Spider, a new convertible that has all of these improvements and brings another dimension of open-air McLaren supercar exhilaration to our range."Michael Leiters -CEO, McLaren Automotive The Powerhouse Within: Explore the Engine At the core of the Artura Spider lies a reimagined Twin-Turbocharged V6 engine, meticulously fine-tuned to deliver enhanced power and responsiveness. Harnessing the ferocity of its Twin-Turbocharged V6 engine, the Artura Spider roars with a commanding 690hp (515kW) at 7,500rpm. Paired with this remarkable power output is a staggering maximum torque of 720Nm (531lb-ft) at 2,250rpm, ensuring an exhilarating surge of acceleration at every twist of the throttle.The harmonious blend of the V6 petrol engine and agile E-Motor offers the epitome of versatility. From emission-free EV driving over 33 kilometers to a relentless surge of petrol-powered acceleration, reaching speeds up to 205 mph, it caters to every driving mood and scenario. Working in perfect harmony with the hybrid powertrain is the bespoke 8-speed Dual Clutch Transmission. Positioned within the clutch housing, the E-Motor directly interfaces with the drive shaft, ensuring seamless power delivery. With close gear ratios designed to optimize in-gear acceleration, every shift is a visceral experience. Thanks to groundbreaking Pre-Fill Gearshift technology, the eight-speed gearbox slashes shift times by 25%, ensuring lightning-fast gear changes and uninterrupted power delivery. Performance & Top Speed With this potent combination under the hood, the Artura Spider accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in a blistering 3.0 seconds, delivering spine-tingling performance from the get-go.Beyond its raw power, the Artura Spider showcases breathtaking speed and agility. From a standstill, it rockets to 200 km/h (124 mph) in a mere 8.4 seconds, showcasing its relentless acceleration. Pushing the boundaries further, it reaches 300 km/h in just 21.6 seconds, epitomizing its prowess on the open road. With a top speed of 330 Km/h (205 mph), the Artura Spider dominates the asphalt with unrivaled confidence and precision, embodying the pinnacle of automotive engineering and performance.

This feature epitomizes the car's commitment to excellence.Powered by eight nearly silent E-Motors, the RHT effortlessly raises or lowers in just 11 seconds, even while cruising at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph). Conveniently, it can also be controlled from the vehicle key when parked.The secret to its swift operation lies in electric actuation, allowing different parts of the roof to move simultaneously with the tonneau cover folding back, eliminating the need for bulky mechanisms. Even when the roof is closed, you can still bask in the open sky with the optional Electrochromic Roof. Enhanced specifically for the Artura Spider, this McLaren technology provides enhanced contrast between light and shade. With a simple touch of a button, the system blocks 99% of light when off, yet allows over 39% of natural light when activated, while still blocking 75% of solar energy to keep you cool on hot days. When the ignition is switched off, the Electrochromic Roof automatically reverts to its tinted setting to maintain a comfortable cabin temperature. Upon restarting, it seamlessly returns to your previous chosen setting, ensuring a personalized driving experience every time. Dynamic Elegance: The Exterior Design In the world of McLaren, design is purposeful, with every line and curve serving a distinct function. This ethos is exemplified in the Artura Spider, where form seamlessly follows function, resulting in a striking exterior that embodies innovation and performance. Its sleek, minimalist design is a testament to advanced construction techniques like Hot Forming, where aluminum is expertly molded and sculpted at temperatures exceeding 500°C. The result is a visually captivating exterior characterized by clean lines and radical simplicity. At the heart of the Artura Spider's design are elements crafted for both aesthetics and aerodynamics. Take, for instance, the one-piece lightweight rear clamshell and iconic Dihedral Doors, which not only enhance the car's visual appeal but also contribute to its aerodynamic efficiency. A pioneering aerothermal concept further shapes the exterior, ensuring optimal airflow to keep the powertrain cool. The Retractable Hard Top's raised rear edge facilitates the expulsion of hot air from the engine bay, while Rear Deck Inlets provide essential cooling to the transmission pre-coolers, all while enhancing aerodynamic performance. In essence, every aspect of the Artura Spider's exterior design is meticulously crafted to elevate both form and function to new heights. At McLaren, the unwavering pursuit of lightness drives the development of every vehicle. It’s in McLaren's DNA to save weight wherever possible. The effect of this uncompromising ethos is evident throughout the Artura Spider.The Artura Spider strikes a perfect balance of shattering performance, supple ride, and sublime handling.
