McLaren Artura Spider 2025 - hybrid supercar priced at 273,800 USD

McLaren's first open-top hybrid model slightly upgrades power and performance compared to the coupe, competing with the Ferrari 296 GTS.

The British car company added a convertible version of Artura called Artura Spider, which is also McLaren's first hybrid convertible. In the product range, the P1 and Speedtail also use a hybrid system but do not yet have a convertible variant.

Artura Spider still uses a 3-liter twin-turbo gasoline engine, combined with an electric motor, producing 690 horsepower and 722 Nm of torque. Compared to the Coupe version, Artura Spider increases 19 horsepower while torque remains unchanged. The car uses rear-wheel drive, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 3 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 8.4 seconds and 0-300 km/h in 21.6 seconds. Maximum speed 330 km/h.

Artura Spider can also lower the rear window - a design separate from the hood for the purpose of hearing the engine and exhaust pipes more clearly.
