The 2022 McLaren Artura supercar was supposed to launch in the U.S. this fall, but due to the impact of car chip supply, this plan had to be postponed. Recently, according to foreign media reports, McLaren officials once again decided to postpone the delivery of McLaren Artura. Roger Ormisher, a McLaren spokesman, said the delivery of the supercar will be delayed again until next July due to more than a year of car chip shortages.

This is not the first time Artura has delayed delivery. Previously, some media reported that McLaren initially hoped to launch this supercar in the fall of 2020, but due to supply chain problems, its delivery time had to be postponed until June this year. The ongoing chip shortage has further delayed the delivery time of the car. According to McLaren insiders, McLaren is prioritizing the supply of chips for other high-margin models and has decided to temporarily halt production of the car.
It is reported that the Artura is the first mass-produced hybrid sports car launched by McLaren. Powered by an electric motor and a 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine, the hybrid system has a total output of 671 hp (500 kW), a peak torque of 804 Nm, a zero-100 acceleration of 3.0 seconds, and a top speed of 205 mph (329 km/h), matched by an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. It is understood that the car has previously been booked in China, and the price has reached 2.38 million yuan.
