The McLaren that leaves in total silence on electric power, then wakes a V6 you never hear coming.
The McLaren Artura is a two-seat, mid-engine hybrid supercar that pulls away on its electric motor alone and holds electric running to around 40 mph before its twin-turbo V6 ever wakes. Renters book it for the exit nobody hears, a six in the morning valet line or a street full of sleeping neighbours, since the V6 note arrives later anyway.
The Artura leaves in total silence and stays quiet until the V6 lights under load with barely a lull, then pulls cleanly to its limiter. That makes it the supercar for a renter who wants control and quiet confidence at the start of a drive rather than spectacle.
The McLaren Artura suits an early departure from somewhere with neighbors, a hotel valet line at six in the morning, or any renter who wants the doors and the exhaust note without announcing the car's arrival to the whole street first. It also suits a renter who wants a genuine supercar that can double as a quiet errand car, at least for the first few blocks before the V6 wakes up. Someone who wants the loudest possible exit instead should book the 750S rather than this car. The Artura is the pick for a renter who values control and quiet confidence over spectacle at the very start of a drive.
McLaren sells the Artura in coupe and Spider bodies, and the named specifications on the order sheet change the cabin rather than the powertrain. Prometheus Exotics runs both of the bodies of this plug-in hybrid V6 car, coupe and Spider.
The McLaren Artura Coupe is the fixed roof version and the lighter way into the platform, built on a carbon tub around a 690 hp hybrid V6, an 8-speed gearbox and an electronic differential. Prometheus Exotics runs the coupe, and it holds the same battery and the same short electric-only range as the Spider. Its doors take no section of roof with them, so getting in is a narrower climb.
The McLaren Artura Spider adds a retractable hardtop that opens or closes in 11 seconds at up to 31 mph, worked from the key fob, with a rear window on its own switch that drops with the roof up. Prometheus Exotics runs the Spider as well as the coupe. It carries a small weight penalty over the coupe and no change at all to the hybrid system sitting underneath it.
