The Australian info Electrifying the drivetrain hasactually done questions for the Artura, perhaps an all-electric future may not be so bad. The Artura is well and really part of the McLaren household, with its aerodynamic styling, tactile interior and crazy speed and power, however it’s set apart by its hybrid drivetrain. I understand ‘hybrid’ still conjures visions of a Prius however put hybrid tech in a supercar and it’s more appealing than you may believe.

It’s surrounded by heat guards to direct 900°C (1650°F) air out through the chimney over the engine. When you appearance out of the back window there’s an tremendously pleasing heatwave that rippl
