McLaren Artura

Back in 2012, the British company McLaren introduced a hybrid P1 model with more than 900 horsepower. Eight years later, McLaren introduces a plug-in version of the hybrid model Artura.

This model has a 3.8-liter V8 engine that in combination with an electric motor offers more than 900 hp. Accelerates from 0 – 62 mph in 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (350 km / h).

This model is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that combined with the electric motor delivers 671 hp (7,500 rpm) and 593 lb-ft (2,250 rpm) of torque. Arthur accelerates from 0 – 62 mph in 3 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph. The battery of the electric motor allows you to travel 19 miles (31 kilometers). It takes you 2.5 hours to charge 80 percent of the battery.

Artura features customizable cruise control, lane departure warning, high-beam assist and road sign recognition (as standard). The car also features McLaren’s new infotainment system (MIS II), a high-resolution touch screen, and new telemetry software with Variable Drift Control.

The new model is based on the new ultralight aluminum-carbon platform (MCLA). The total weight of the car with 90 percent fuel in the tank is 1,498 kilograms.

The McLaren Arthur is a model with slightly less power, but much cheaper, as the price of this model is around $ 225,000, while the price of the McLaren P1 is over a million dollars.

McLaren 765LT

German tuner company Novitec has unveiled a new project, the McLaren 765LT. It is the successor to the McLaren 675LT model.

Three tuning stages are available, the most powerful of which is Performance Stage 2. The 765LT is powered by a 4.0-liter eight-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine that produces 855 hp and 662 lb-ft of torque. Impressive power is achieved by the car thanks to the plug-and-play N-Tronic control unit, which adjusts the ignition and fuel injection and modifies the electronic pressure control. The car accelerates from 0-62 mph in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph.

Novitec has installed a new high-performance Inconel exhaust system. The car got new springs which reduced the height of the car by 0.79 inches (20mm). The McLaren 765LT comes with MC3 20-inch and 21-inch forged wheels with Vossen, available in 72 colors.

The McLaren 765LT offers many visual enhancements from carbon fiber such as headlight inserts, carbon fiber rocker panels, air intakes, roof scoop, vented front bonnet and more.

McLaren 720S

McLaren 720S is a car that pushes the limits of possibilities. To sit behind the wheel of a McLaren 720S is to rediscover the true meaning of engagement between driver and car.

The architecture, the all-round visibility and the complex shape just wouldn’t be possible with aluminium or any other metal. Carbon fibre delivers this with all the advantages of strength and weight in a structure that nobody else offers. Which is precisely why a carbon fibre monocoque has been at the heart of every McLaren. In the 720S, the traditional metal superstructure of the car with carbon fiber makes one shell… Monocage II. Exceptional structural rigidity helps to keep driver and passenger safe. And allows for slimmer pillars – enhancing cockpit space and visibility. While the lowered centre of gravity breathes new life into every element of driving dynamics.

Its powerful simplicity has resulted in truly iconic car designs. A legacy into which the 720S Coupe now takes its place. As soon as air hits the car, every curve and channel is designed to use it to enhance performance. As efficiently as possible. Hidden ducts within the headlights guide air to cool the engine. Fast flowing air is directed around the windscreen and into channels concealed within the doors.

Sit behind the wheel of the 720S Coupe and it feels as if the car was built with you already in place. That’s because everything about this stunning interior is focused on the driver. From the touch of the materials. To the ergonomic design of the driver interfaces. There’s supreme quality and comfort in every detail. Controls are carefully angled and positioned for easy reach with minimum distraction. It’s an interior crafted around you. Allowing full commitment to an exhilarating drive. You can also choose finishing options to suit your personal tastes.

The 720S specification features two-tone colour combinations in Alcantara® or Nappa leather, plus machined and anodised aluminium switches. 720S Luxury envelops the cabin in highest-quality leather – with iridium brightwork and electricallyoperated and heated seats as standard. Then there’s the 720S Performance specification, which evokes the high energy and power of the track. Alcantara® features throughout, with carbon and dark technical finishes creating a moody interior.

The new M840T McLaren engine is a 4.0-litre V8 unit with twin scroll turbochargers for enhanced response. It’s always ready to give more – devouring road and track with ravenous appetite. Once you’re behind the wheel, all those inspired improvements – like a new intake manifold and stiffer, lighter crankshaft – mesh into a brilliant beating heart. There’s 720PS and 770Nm of torque behind you. Touch the pedal and you’ll feel the instant response from the engine at work. The new engine is also positioned as low as possible between the front and rear axles – increasing the car’s handling prowess, and its luggage capacity. The McLaren 720S accelerates from 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 212 mph.
