Making its debut in the Vietnamese market on December 5, 2024, the McLaren Artura Spider supercar has now officially hit the roads of Hanoi.
McLaren has not yet announced the selling price of this supercar in Vietnam. We only know that the hardtop version is currently priced at VND 14.69 billion, excluding additional options and on-road costs.
The Artura Spider that appeared in Hanoi sports a purple exterior. The front of the car features large air intakes and distinctive headlights. The sides have air vents to cool the mid-mounted engine.
Meanwhile, the rear of the car impresses with its diffuser, which includes multiple airfoils, along with a centrally-mounted dual exhaust system and horizontal LED taillights.
Due to the change in the roof design, the Artura Spider has been re-engineered with pillars that integrate a meniscus-coated polycarbonate layer to enhance rear visibility and direct airflow into the engine compartment.
The cover behind the seats can be raised or lowered at the touch of a button to improve comfort when closing the roof or to enhance the sensation of the sound from the V6 engine when the roof is up. The position of the air intakes for the engine has also been moved further back.
The Artura Spider’s roof can be closed in just 11 seconds, three seconds faster than the Ferrari 296 GTB.
The Artura Spider features an aluminum and carbon fiber chassis, similar to the hardtop version, but with improved rigidity and a weight reduction of about 62 kg. As a result, the dry weight of the car is now approximately 1,475 kg.
Powering the McLaren Artura Spider is 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 torque. Compared to the previous Artura coupe, the Spider convertible has 19 more horsepower, while torque remains unchanged.
Coupled with this hybrid system is an 8-speed SSG transmission with an electronic differential, utilizing an electric motor for 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.
The Artura Spider offers four driving modes: Electric, Comfort, Sport, and Track. Additionally, it is equipped with a carbon-ceramic brake system and electronically-controlled adaptive dampers with three settings: Comfort, Sport, and Track.
