McLaren Kuala Lumpur proudly unveils the exhilarating new McLaren Artura Spider, bringing a thrilling open-top twist to the Artura’s electrified supercar prowess. As McLaren’s first-ever convertible hybrid, the Artura Spider combines cutting-edge technology with unparalleled performance, offering drivers an unforgettable, open-air experience.
The Artura Spider marks McLaren’s second Artura model and the first to feature a high-performance hybrid powertrain. With significant upgrades to power, performance, and driver engagement, this convertible elevates the supercar experience, blending electrified driving with the sensory pleasures of top-down motoring. Engineered for a dynamic performance that transitions effortlessly from the circuit to city streets, the Artura Spider exemplifies McLaren’s focus on lightweight design, precision, and power.
Simultaneously, McLaren has updated the Artura Coupé with many of the same enhancements featured in the Spider. Both models offer exceptional levels of performance, including remarkable urban efficiency and near-silent electric-drive capability for eco-friendly commuting. Starting at RM 3,400,000 (including duties, before options), the Artura Spider is available for order now.
Designed with a focus on driver engagement and refinement, the Artura Spider’s standout feature is its retractable hard-top, which operates at the touch of a button in just 11 seconds. The convertible delivers a full-throttle supercar experience, seamlessly combining the visceral excitement of the open road with the serenity of electric driving. Imagine cruising along a scenic coastline, with the wind in your hair, as the sound of the redesigned exhaust and the open sky envelop you in a symphony of pure performance.
Underpinning the Artura Spider’s agile handling and blistering speed is McLaren’s unwavering commitment to lightweight engineering. At just 1,457 kg (dry), the Artura Spider weighs only 62 kg more than its coupe counterpart, making it the lightest convertible in its class. This remarkable weight advantage, combined with a 700PS hybrid powertrain, delivers a staggering power-to-weight ratio of 480PS/tonne, ensuring exhilarating speed and agility on the road.
Built on McLaren’s Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA), the Spider offers uncompromised rigidity despite the removal of the fixed roof. The 62kg weight difference between the Spider and Coupe is primarily due to the advanced electrically-operated retractable hard-top mechanism. This state-of-the-art system ensures the Artura Spider retains its structural integrity and aerodynamic performance, offering drivers the best of both worlds.
Powering the Artura Spider is McLaren’s newly recalibrated hybrid powertrain, boasting an additional 20PS, bringing the total output to 700PS. The enhanced 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 engine, paired with an ultra-compact electric motor, delivers instant torque and razor-sharp throttle response, propelling the Spider from 0-100 km/h in just 3.0 seconds, with a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph).
In addition to its extraordinary performance, the Artura Spider offers an increased electric-only range of 33 km (21 miles), thanks to its 7.4kWh battery pack. This, combined with its improved energy efficiency and advanced aerodynamics, positions the Artura Spider as one of the most environmentally conscious supercars on the market.
From its refined exhaust note to its advanced suspension system, the Artura Spider promises a driving experience that is as emotive as it is exhilarating. Whether on track or the open road, this convertible masterpiece sets a new benchmark for hybrid supercars, blending cutting-edge technology, unmatched power, and pure driving pleasure.
