The McLaren Artura Hybrid Has No Reverse Gear But Plenty of Pep

The 2023 McLaren Artura is the first regular-production hybrid from the 37-year-old British brand known for its Formula 1 racing team and portfolio of aggressive supercars meant for the track. (Previously, the McLaren P1 and McLaren Speedtail used hybrid technology, though production of these multimillion-dollar supercars was extremely limited.) With the best cabin I’ve ever seen from McLaren and comfort-enhancing systems that make it nice to drive even on a daily basis, the long-awaited Artura is a capable coupe that will advance McLaren’s standing in the high-end sports car segment.

Better yet, the gaping air intakes, fender vents cut like armor and arches over the rear just slightly less imposing than those adorning the Cathedral Notre-Dame in Paris bring enough attitude to leave a message in the Artura’s wake: “Get outta my way.”
