Zero to 100 km/h in 3 Seconds·First Application of Ultra-Lightweight Architecture
McLaren Seoul announced on the 19th that the domestic delivery of its plug-in hybrid (PHEV) supercar Artura has officially begun.
This vehicle is equipped with a hybrid powertrain combining McLaren's new 3.0ℓ V6 twin-turbo engine and a 95-horsepower electric motor. It delivers a top speed of 330 km/h, a maximum output of 680 horsepower (585 horsepower from the twin-turbo engine and 95 horsepower from the electric motor), and a peak torque of 720 Nm (European standard). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3 seconds and to 200 km/h in 8.3 seconds. The power-to-weight ratio, proving its performance, is the best in its class at 488 horsepower per ton.
It can travel 31 km on electric motor power alone. The capacity of the five lithium-ion battery packs is 7.4 kWh. When charged with a standard electric vehicle supply equipment (EVS), the battery can be charged up to 80% in about 2 hours.
The 8-speed gearbox is configured only for forward gears without a reverse gear. It was specially designed by McLaren for the hybrid supercar. When reversing, the electric motor rotates in the opposite direction.
The vehicle also reflects McLaren's ultra-lightweight technology. It is the first model to apply the McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA). The dry weight of the Artura is 1,395 kg.
The basic warranty for the Artura is 5 years (75,000 km). The battery is covered for 6 years (75,000 km), and the body has a 5-year warranty with no mileage limit. The price starts from 299 million KRW.
