Engine The Artura uses an all-new
twin-turbocharged
V6 engine paired with an
electric motor to produce a combined output of at 7,500 rpm and of torque at 2,250 rpm. On its own, the engine produces and of torque. The all-aluminium engine has a bank angle of 120 degrees, a world first for a production V6 engine. This is to accommodate a hot-vee layout, where the two
turbochargers are placed in the vee of the engine. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an all-new 8 speed
dual-clutch transmission. Redline is at 8,500 rpm.
Electric motor The electric motor used in the Artura produces and of torque. The combined torque peak is less than the sum of both sides as the output is limited to "optimize powertrain drivability characteristics". The lithium-ion battery pack weighs and is positioned under the rear of the passenger compartment. McLaren claims a 2.5-hour time for an 80 percent charge using an EVSE cable and a electric range under European testing methodology. This motor replaces the reverse gear, similar to the
Ferrari SF90 Stradale. The total mass of all electrical components is , which means that the Artura has a kerb weight only more than that of its predecessor, the
McLaren 570S.
Performance According to McLaren, the Artura can accelerate to in 2.9 seconds, to in 8.3 seconds, can achieve a maximum speed of , and has a time of 10.7 seconds. Alongside the e-diff, the Artura features a new multi-link rear suspension system. This suspension design increases toe stiffness by 75%, a change that significantly improves rear-end stability. == Marketing ==
