McLaren recently introduced the Artura Spider, a stunning convertible supercar, to its Vietnamese clientele.
McLaren has not yet announced the price of this supercar. In foreign markets, the McLaren Artura Spider is priced approximately VND 500 million higher than the coupe version.
In Vietnam, the hardtop version is currently priced at VND 14.69 billion, excluding additional options and on-road costs.
Artura Spider retains the aluminum and carbon chassis structure of the Coupe (hardtop) but improves rigidity while reducing weight by approximately 62 kg. As a result, the dry weight of the vehicle is now approximately 1,475 kg.
Overall, the exterior design of the McLaren Artura Spider remains largely unchanged from the hardtop version. The front of the car features large air intakes and distinctive McLaren-designed headlights. The sides have air vents to cool the mid-mounted engine.
Meanwhile, the rear of the car impresses with its diffuser featuring multiple airfoils, along with a centrally positioned dual-exhaust system and horizontal LED taillights on either side.
Due to the change in the roof design, the Artura Spider has been re-engineered with pillars that incorporate a polycarbonate glaze to enhance rear visibility and direct airflow to the engine compartment.
The panel behind the seats can be raised or lowered at the touch of a button to improve comfort when closing the roof from above or to enhance the exhilarating sound of the V6 engine when the roof is open. The positions of the air intakes for the engine have also been moved further back.
The Artura Spider’s roof can be closed in just 11 seconds, which is 3 seconds faster than the Ferrari 296 GTB.
Customers can choose from various exterior and interior decorations, such as carbon fiber or the dark details of the Stealth package.
The McLaren Artura Spider is powered by a hybrid powertrain that combines a 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine with an electric motor, delivering a total output of 700 horsepower and 720 Nm of peak torque. Compared to the previous Artura coupe, the Spider convertible offers 19 more horsepower while maintaining the same torque.
This hybrid powertrain is paired with an 8-speed SSG transmission and an electronic differential. The electric motor provides reverse gear, enabling the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3 seconds, with a top speed limited to 330 km/h. In pure electric mode, the car can travel up to 33 kilometers.
Artura Spider offers four driving modes: Electric, Comfort, Sport, and Track. Additionally, it is equipped with carbon-ceramic brake discs and electronically controlled dampers (PDC) with three settings: Comfort, Sport, and Track.
