Is summer here already?
Looks that way. This is McLaren’s ArturaSpider,aconvertibleversion of its already very tasty Artura hybrid supercar. McLaren has given it abunch of cosmetic tweaks, topped off with an easily retracted carbon fibre roof.
Presumably it’s still nippy?
The Artura Spider has aplug-in hybrid drivetrain, which means the 3L V6 has plenty of pep but there’s electric power too… and in fact, McLaren’s engineers have given this model an extra touch of zing in the shape of more horsepower. So it’ll get from 0to 62mph in 3secs flat thanks to acombined output of 690bhp.
