HIGH-PERFORMANCE
McLaren has a rich heritage when it comes to maximising the potential of performance hybrid technology. First came the pioneering P1â„¢ hypercar. Then the awe-inspiring Speedtail, which used its electrified powertrain to achieve speeds of over 250 mph. Artura Spider is shaped by this advanced technical expertise. The result is the next-generation supercar. A potent, compact V6 petrol engine for the open road. Seamlessly combined with electric power to outperform many larger capacity engines while reducing consumption. Thanks to our relentless focus on minimising weight and maximising performance, the hybrid system has minimal impact on power-to-weight ratio, while providing instant torque and blistering acceleration.
The powerful and muscular rear haunches convey strength while blending in with the fully integrated rear wing. The final touch is the illuminated engine bay on the rear deck, a window onto the beating heart of the 720S.
BOLD INNOVATIONS
The core elements of the Artura Spider are shaped by innovation. Its McLaren Carbon Fibre Lightweight Architecture (MCLA) is super-lightweight and immensely strong. A perfect platform for the host of new developments and pioneering technologies. More than a monocoque, MCLA consists of three interlinked elements. The Occupant Structure is lighter and stronger than ever before, and specially designed for a high-performance hybrid powertrain. An all-new Ethernet electrical architecture and connected Telematics Control Units (TCU) save 25% cable weight and allow advanced features such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Apple CarPlay® to be included. The Structure and Chassis Systems have key components directly bonded to the monocoque, increasing structural stiffness by 30%. MCLA is so strong that – unlike many convertibles – no Retractable Hard Top. So weight gain is minimal.Â
structural changes are needed to accommodate the new The agility and dynamic prowess of the Artura Spider is intensified by an all-new engine mount concept that supports the rear of the car by managing powertrain movement. The 8-speed gearbox – now with Pre-Fill gearshifts for even more rapid, consistent changes – doesn’t need a reverse gear. It uses Artura Spider’s E-Motor. Cutting complexity These innovations are all designed to purify the driving experience and make the exceptional something you can enjoy everyday.

OPEN-AIR
The Artura Spider features bold new design and engineering throughout. Its Retractable Hard Top (RHT) is a perfect example. And a key part of the car’s uncompromising spirit. Eight near-silent E-Motors actuate the system, allowing the roof to be raised or lowered in just 11 seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h (31 mph). It can also be operated from the vehicle key when parked.
Innovation is the key to the roof mechanism’s seamless turn of speed. Electric actuation allows elements of the roof to move simultaneously as the tonneau cover folds back, so there’s no need for a bulky mechanism.
