McLaren released the plug-in hybrid supercar Artura in February this year (the domestic debut was on October 9), and the estimated delivery time given at that time was in the fourth quarter of 2021. However, in a recent interview with foreign media, McLaren's official spokesperson revealed that due to chip shortages, Artura will postpone delivery until July 2022.
Not only will Artura be affected by the chip shortage, the spokesperson also revealed that McLaren is currently facing a total production cut. Originally scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2021, Artura was expected by McLaren: according to expectations, 40% of McLaren's sales in 2022 will come from Artura, which can be said to be the future of brand sales. But the delay in delivery caused by the shortage of chips will undoubtedly make this beautiful expectation completely frustrated.
The mcLaren Artura's powertrain consists of a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine + electric motor and battery. The maximum power of the engine is 430kW (585 hp) and the maximum torque is 585 Nm; the maximum power of the electric motor is 70 kW (95 hp), the maximum torque is 225 Nm; and the system combined power is 500 kW (680 hp) with a maximum torque of 720 Nm. 0-100km/h acceleration takes only 3.0 seconds and the top speed can reach 330km/h. The battery capacity is 7.4kWh, and the pure electric endurance is 30km under the NEDC standard.
