2025 McLaren Artura Spider: An Unobnoxious Supercar
Boasting performance somewhat more ferocious than its predecessor, the Artura Spider has been hybridized, rendering it stealthier—and easier on the ears.
The key enabler is its gas-electric hybrid powertrain, built around a spectacularly refined and rangy, twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (596 hp/431 lb-ft), slung low amidships. Note that the IC unit’s peak horsepower arrives at a soaring 7,500 rpm—short of that ecstatic edge, you’re still pedaling it—while peak torque arrives at just 2,250 rpm and doesn’t let up until 7,000 rpm.
Laying a godlike hand over the whole works is a thin electric motor that is integrated into the eight-speed transmission. All by its lonesome, the axial-flux e-motor produces 94 hp and 166 lb-ft, lofting the net maxima to 690 hp and 531 lb-ft. Tipping the scales at 3,439 pounds, the Spider’s weight-to-power ratio (4.98 lb/hp) is actually superior to that of the retired McLaren 600LT Spider.
