McLaren Kuala Lumpur has just unveiled the new McLaren Artura Spider, a remarkable open-top variant of the Artura that takes the brand’s high-performance, electrified supercar to new levels of excitement. This is McLaren’s first-ever convertible featuring a high-performance hybrid powertrain and the second model in the Artura lineup. The Spider introduces significant upgrades in power,
Priced from RM 3,400,000 (including duties) before options, the Artura Spider is now available for order. The car’s design and engineering have been refined to ensure a balance of supercar dynamics, comfort for regular driving, and the near-silent electric-drive benefits in urban environments.
The Artura Spider’s design focuses on driver engagement, agility, and efficiency. It features a retractable hard-top that operates in just 11 seconds, enhancing the supercar’s exhilarating performance. The car weighs just 1,560kg, making it the lightest among its convertible competitors, with a power-to-weight ratio that optimises every aspect of its high-performance capabilities.
The vehicle is built on the McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA), providing a secure platform with no loss of rigidity when the roof is removed. The hybrid powertrain includes a recalibrated 3.0-litre V6 engine delivering 700PS and a compact E-motor, offering an electric range of 33km.
The Artura Spider can sprint from 0-100km/h in 3.0 seconds; 0-200km/h in 8.4 seconds; 0-300km/h in 21.6 seconds; maximum speed of 330km/h!
The Artura Spider’s performance is further enhanced by new powertrain mounts, revised suspension, and advanced Pirelli CyberTMTyre technology. The eight-speed transmission now offers faster gear changes, and the car includes various driving modes to suit different conditions, including an all-electric E-mode for urban driving.
Visually, the Spider retains the Artura’s signature design elements, with the addition of all-new buttresses and a carbon fibre retractable hard-top, which can be configured with an Electrochromic glass panel for added luxury. Artura Spider’s retractable one-piece hard-top operates electrically in just 11 seconds, at speeds of up to 50km/h and the electrochromic roof panel is optionally available.
Inside, the HD touchscreen infotainment system facilitates configuration of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS); smartphone mirroring to support Apple CarPlayis standard and wireless charging for enabled mobile devices available as an option.
In addition to the standard interior, there are three further interior specifications: Performance, which has a more sporting aesthetic; TechLux, where the focus is on the technical luxury that the name suggests; and Vision, which displays a more avant-garde and adventurous look and feel.
An extended palette of exterior paints, some of which are available on the Artura for the first time, is introduced for the new Spider; twenty Elite colours are offered in addition to the standard five colours, with a further eighteen MSO colours also available.
Every new Artura comes as standard with a five-year, unlimited mileage vehicle warranty; a six-year, 75,000km battery warranty and a ten-year anti-perforation body warranty. These warranties can be extended. A three-year service plan is also included, as is a five-year roadside assistance package.
With the Artura Spider, McLaren has introduced a convertible that combines the best of its pioneering engineering with the sensory pleasures of open-top driving, offering a versatile and immersive supercar experience.
