Expert Review
4.4/5
The McLaren Artura is a modern hybrid supercar that combines McLaren's lightweight engineering with electric assistance. It looks dramatic without being overly flashy, and the carbon-fibre construction keeps weight low. Unlike many supercars, the Artura is designed to be reasonably usable on normal roads, although Indian roads will still test your patience and your bank balance.
The 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 works with an electric motor to produce around 700 PS, giving the Artura seriously quick acceleration. The electric motor helps with instant response at low speeds, while the rear-wheel-drive layout keeps the driving experience engaging. The steering is sharp, the chassis is agile and the suspension is surprisingly compliant for a supercar.
Who should buy it? Enthusiasts who want cutting-edge hybrid performance, lightweight engineering and a supercar that can actually be driven regularly.
What will bug you? Ground clearance is tiny, luggage space is limited, fuel and tyres are expensive, and McLaren ownership requires specialist support.
