All-New Artura Joins Mclaren Luxury Supercar Display at the British Motor Show MEDIA Media release 09.00 BST August 16, 2021 — All-new Artura joins McLaren luxury supercar display at the British Motor Show ▪ McLaren Automotive’s first series production high-performance hybrid supercar, the Artura, will be on display at the British Motor Show ▪ Show appearance follows the Artura’s public dynamic debut earlier this summer ▪ McLaren presence includes the GT and 720S – the latter in both Coupe and Spider form McLaren Automotive will have a major presence at the British Motor Show, headlined by the all-new Artura – McLaren’s first series production high-performance hybrid supercar. The show, which takes place from August 19-22, will be held at the Farnborough Exhibition Centre – a short distance from the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking. Resplendent in Ember Orange, the Artura’s show appearance follows on from its public dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July. The first car in its class to embrace electrification, the Artura remains true to the McLaren tradition of innovation in order to preserve its character as a lightweight supercar, despite the addition of an electrified drivetrain. Evolving technology first developed for the Ultimate Series P1TM and Speedtail hybrid hypercars, the plug-in hybrid Artura delivers scintillating performance and handling, while also being capable of low emissions and up to 30km* of near-silent running in electric-only mode. Priced from £285,500, the Artura debuts a lightweight carbon fibre-based architecture - built at the McLaren Composites Technology Centre in the Sheffield region - and an all-new powertrain. This incorporates an all-new 120°-angle twin-turbo 3.0 litre V6, assisted by a compact 94bhp axial-flux E-motor. Combined output of 680PSand 720Nm and a DIN weight of 1,498kg enables blistering acceleration of 0-100km/h in 3.0 seconds; 0- 200km/h in 8.3 seconds; and 0-300km/h in 21.5 seconds. Joining the Artura at the show will be the full range of McLaren series production cars, including the 720S in both Coupe and Spider form. Appearing in Storm Grey, the 720S remains the benchmark supercar, with a twin turbo 4.0 litre V8 engine generating 720PS and carbon fibre chassis with Proactive Chassis Control II suspension and active aerodynamics to deliver class-leading ride and handling on both road and track. The 720S Spider – presented in Papaya Spark - adds a one-piece retractable hard top that opens and closes in just 11 seconds yet is less than 50kg heavier than the coupe and with equally capable chassis dynamics. Also on display at the British Motor Show will be a McLaren GT finished in Serpentine, which combines the McLaren driving experience with everyday usability from its sleek and subtle styling and generous 570-litre luggage capacity to its cosseting interior trimmed with luxurious materials, hidden-until-lit features and Bowers & Wilkins audio system. MEDIA Visitors to the McLaren stand at the British Motor Show will be able to see these stunning cars close-up, with representatives from McLaren Ascot on hand to support with further enquiries including follow-up test drives, while fans will also be able to purchase merchandise from the McLaren store. “We are delighted to support the British Motor Show, located just a short drive from Woking, just as the new Artura heralds an exciting new chapter for McLaren. The Artura represents the full force of McLaren – not just our first ten years as a volume luxury supercar manufacturer, but six decades of innovation and success in high performance. It joins our acclaimed series production range alongside the 720S – the benchmark supercar – and the GT, our most accessible high-performance car yet.” Brett Soso, Managing Director – Europe, Middle East & Africa, McLaren Automotive ______________ Ends *Artura e-mode range awaiting validation Notes to editors: A selection of high resolution images accompanying this release is available to download from the McLaren Automotive media site – cars.mclaren.press About McLaren Automotive: McLaren Automotive is a creator of luxury, high-performance supercars. Every vehicle is hand-assembled at the McLaren Production Centre (MPC) in Woking, Surrey, England. Launched in 2010, the company is now the largest part of the McLaren Group. The company’s product portfolio of GT, supercar, Motorsport and Ultimate models are retailed through over 85 retailers in 40 markets around the world. McLaren is a pioneer that continuously pushes the boundaries. In 1981, it introduced lightweight and strong carbon fibre chassis into Formula 1 with the McLaren MP4/1. Then in 1993 it designed and built the McLaren F1 road car - the company has not built a car without a carbon fibre chassis since. As part of the Ultimate Series, McLaren was the first to deliver a hybrid hypercar, the McLaren P1™. In 2016, it announced a new hybrid hyper-GT and confirmed in 2018 that the next Ultimate car would be the Speedtail. 2019 saw McLaren launch the 600LT Spider, the new GT and the track-only McLaren Senna GTR. It also unveiled the 620R and McLaren Elva before launching the 765LT the following year. Most recently, the company unveiled its all-new high-performance hybrid supercar, the McLaren Artura. The Artura is the first McLaren to benefit from the McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA). The MCLA is designed, developed and manufactured at the McLaren Composites Technology Centre in the Sheffield region of England using world- first processes and will spearhead the brand’s electrified future. McLaren Automotive also chooses to partner with like-minded, world-leading companies and organisations who push the boundaries in their respective fields. These include AkzoNobel, Ashurst, Dell Technologies, Gulf, Pirelli, Richard Mille, Plan International and Tumi. MEDIA McLaren Group: The McLaren Group is a global leader in luxury automotive and elite motorsports with a focus on its Automotive supercar and Racing businesses. Founded in 1963 by racer, engineer and entrepreneur Bruce McLaren, the Group is formed of McLaren Automotive, which hand-builds lightweight supercars; and a majority stake in McLaren Racing which competes in the Formula 1 World Championship and INDYCAR in the US. The Group is globally headquartered at the iconic McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey, England. With a reputation for innovation and technological excellence, McLaren is one of the UK’s largest independent companies.

  • Mclaren-HONDA BEGINS NEW ERA with MP4-30
    McLAREN-HONDA BEGINS NEW ERA WITH MP4-30 #McLarenHonda #MakeHistory McLaren-Honda – the name evokes stirring memories of the past; of Ayrton Senna battling Alain Prost for supremacy; of classic red and white machines dominating for season upon season; of an iconic team writing one of the defining chapters in the motor racing history books. Reuniting such an illustrious partnership brings with it the heavy weight of expectation, but all at McLaren and Honda are working to write a fresh chapter in Formula 1, one that respectfully nods to the past, but boldly looks to the horizon. Today’s reveal of the new McLaren-Honda MP4-30 – McLaren’s first Honda-powered car for 23 years – speaks volumes about the progressive nature of both companies. It is a thoroughly refined evolution of last year’s McLaren, it is the only chassis on the grid to be fitted with Honda’s RA615H Hybrid power unit, and it features an evolved colour scheme that firmly contextualises McLaren’s brand in the 21st century. MP4-30 – new technical DNA in the mix In 2015 McLaren-Honda intends to maintain the momentum it achieved during the second half of 2014, when an intensive technical development programme for the MP4-29 allowed the team to establish a solid position within the chasing pack. Relatively stable technical regulations between seasons have permitted our engineers to evolve some of the newer philosophies explored on last year’s season-ending car while also adding some exciting new technical DNA into the mix. Moreover, our restructured and strengthened engineering departments have gained the conviction to embark on a number of changes of direction.
