The McLaren Artura has finally been launched in the Indian market. The car is powered by a twin turbocharged V6 engine mated to an electric motor and has a top speed of 330 kmph. McLaren also says that the Artura is the most fuel-efficient car they have ever produced, delivering upto 21.73 km/L. The brand is also offering a 5-year vehicle warranty, a 6-year battery warranty, a 10-year body perforation corrosion warranty, and a 3-year service plan on the vehicle. The car is available at a starting price tag of Rs 5 crore (ex-showroom).

The Artura features a design that is very much McLaren-like and gets many signature design elements from the brand like the C-shaped headlamps, and horizontal tail lamps. The PHEV is built on the new McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture which is built for Hybrid applications and is integrated with a battery compartment, domain-based ethernet electrical architecture, along with electrical heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (eHVAC) system. The car has a DIN kerb weight of 1,498 kg which is among the lowest in its segment.

This setup comes with McLaren Track Telemetry, natural language voice control, emergency call and over-the-air software updates. The hybrid performance car also gets advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) including intelligent adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, auto high-beam assist and road-sign recognition.

Coming to the powertrain, the supercar is powered by a 2,993-cc twin-turbocharged V6 petrol engine, paired with an eight-speed transmission and a compact axial flux E-motor which can generate 94 bhp and 225 Nm. The setup churns out a combined power output of 671 bhp and 720 Nm of torque and has a power-to-weight ratio of 488 PS per tonne. The Artura can go from 0-100 kmph in just 3 seconds, 0-200 kmph tales 8.3 seconds while the 300 kmph mark is achieved in 21.5 seconds. The top speed is limited to 330 kmph.
