Recently, the latest car has received definite news from McLaren official, and the new Artura Spider (convertible version) will officially unveil its mystery in China on May 24. Previously, some VIP customers had already been the first to experience the supercar at the end of April, and this exhibition was a grand debut for the media and the public.
The Artura Spider is a McLaren hybrid supercar that showcases McLaren's dedication to speed, as well as its craftsmanship in every detail. The exterior of the new Artura Spider follows the classic design of the current model, with a wide, low nose shape, slender headlights and a large deflector underneath to create a unique visual impact, as if McLaren's iconic meniscus logo came to life. The addition of the Dark Black McLaren badge and the optional silver badge underline its identity.
On the side, the Artura Spider is equipped with an advanced electric hardtop convertible, which maintains the sleek lines of the coupé and gives it a more agile driving experience. The convertible opens and closes in just 11 seconds and can be operated at speeds below 50 km/h, and can even be controlled with a key fob when parked. In addition, the car is equipped with an open-top climate management system to ensure that a comfortable temperature is maintained in the open-top state.
At the rear, the new Artura Spider is equipped with a mid-mounted dual exhaust system and a large diffuser, which not only improves the vehicle's downforce, but also brings a more striking visual effect. At the same time, the heat dissipation performance of the braking system has been further improved, and the braking distance from 100-0 km/h has been shortened to 31 meters. Upgrades to the rear suspension and improved responsiveness of the active damping control system also provide a better handling experience for the driver.
Inside, the interior of the new Artura Spider is just as stunning. It is powered by McLaren's latest infotainment system (MIS II), with a full LCD instrument cluster and touchscreen display, support for features such as phone mapping and Apple CarPlay. The McLaren Track and Drift programs are also integrated into the system, providing a richer driving experience. In addition, the accelerator, brake pedal, turn signal switch and other components are all lightweight, which further improves the performance of the vehicle.
In terms of power, the new Artura Spider is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 3.0T V6 twin-turbo engine and an electric motor. The power of the gasoline engine has been increased by 20 horsepower compared to the current model, and the maximum output has reached 605 horsepower. The maximum power of the electric motor is 95 horsepower, and the combined power is up to 700 horsepower. This allows the new Artura Spider to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.0 seconds and reach a top speed of 330 km/h. At the same time, the upgrade of the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and the improvement of the exhaust system also bring more excellent power performance and more surging sound to the new car. In addition, the all-electric range of the new car has been increased to 33 km.
Latest Automotive Perspectives: In the luxury supercar market, McLaren Artura sees the Maserati MC20 as its main competitor due to its precise vehicle positioning and unique pricing strategy. Both supercars are available in both hardtop and convertible versions, which not only meet the individual needs of different consumers, but also reflect the high degree of consistency in design concepts and manufacturing processes between the two companies. In terms of power parameters, the two are even more comparable, bringing the driver an almost extreme driving experience. So which one do you prefer?
