More on the McLaren Artura Spider Hybrid
The gearbox has the ability to make shifts up to 25% faster compared to previous models. Despite its power and performance, it also stands out for its lightweight and aerodynamic design with a dry weight of only 1,457 kg.
In addition, this weight remains only 62 kg above the Artura coupe model. As for the open-air driving experience, the McLaren hybrid convertible offers a retractable roof with the ability to open to the sky at the touch of a button.
On the other hand, although the arrival of this model in Brazil has generated interest, prices have not yet been defined by UK Motors, the official representative and importer of McLaren models in the country.
Finally, when it becomes available in Brazil, it will be one of the sportiest and most imposing options that can be seen in the Brazilian automotive market, while contributing to the adoption of models with more environmentally friendly propulsion technologies.
