McLaren Artura Driving Experience
The Artura features four different driving modes: Comfort, Sport, Track and the E-mode (EV mode). When in Comfort mode, the vehicle switches between electric and petrol power. As a result, the combustion engine shuts off at low speeds and is redeployed as needed for acceleration.
Similarly, Sport and Track modes utilise the engine and electric motor more aggressively. The system switches up its gear-shifting strategies for enhanced responsiveness and acceleration. E-mode is the car’s default driving mode. It is designed to offer an extended emissions-free driving range.

With McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA) at its heart, the design of the car is distinctly Artura. However, a stand-out addition in the Spider convertible is the Retractable Hard Top (RHT). The nameplate’s striking appearance is maintained with intricately sculpted bodywork, signature ‘hammerhead’ nose and integrated front fender louvres. The headlight air intakes further add to the car’s aerodynamics.
In the convertible, there are also newly designed rear polycarbonate buttresses. These important exterior components house the rollover structure and have a glazed section to improve rear visibility.
