Vehicle Overview

The 2023 McLaren Artura is a compact two-seat coupe that combines McLaren's carbon-fibre construction with plug-in hybrid technology and a mid-mounted 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged V6. Finished in McLaren Orange, this example presents the Artura's low-slung proportions and technical character in a particularly striking specification.

Its hybrid powertrain is designed to add immediate electric assistance to the V6, while the automatic transmission keeps the car approachable in everyday driving. The dealer description quotes 680hp, 585Nm of torque and a 0-100km/h time of 3.0 seconds, placing the Artura firmly in the high-performance end of the sports-car market. As a PHEV, it also brings the flexibility of an electrified drivetrain to a car otherwise centred on driver engagement.

The Artura's two-seat cabin is focused and deliberately intimate. A carbon-fibre interior pack, carbon-fibre and Alcantara steering wheel, orange seat belts and orange interior piping give the cabin a clear visual connection with the exterior colour. The specification also includes a factory sports exhaust, an exterior Black Pack and 10-spoke forged gloss-black wheels, details that sharpen the coupe's appearance without obscuring its clean design.

A front nose-lift system is included, an especially useful feature for negotiating ramps, driveways and other changes in road level in a very low sports car. The combination of the nose lift, automatic transmission and hybrid assistance gives the Artura a broader range of usability than its dramatic shape might suggest, while its two-seat layout keeps the focus on the driver and passenger experience.

With 6,392km recorded, this example has covered relatively limited distance for its build year. The supplied vehicle information states that it has been recently serviced and has an extended warranty. It also notes cosmetic scratching to one alloy wheel, the right-rear diffuser and the lower section of the passenger door; these areas should be assessed against the accompanying photographs and inspected in person.
