McLaren’s $258,000 Hybrid Boasts Blazing Speed Without the Guilt
- Supercar’s emissions will be comparable with a hatchback
- British brand plans a fully electric car before decade-end
McLaren Automotive will bill its first plug-in hybrid model as offering true supercar performance with hatchback-level emissions.
The Artura debuting Wednesday will start at 185,500 pounds ($258,000) and can drive about 30 kilometers (19 miles) on battery power alone, Chief Executive Officer Mike Flewitt said in an interview. The carmaker expects the car to account for about a third of its total sales going forward.
