McLaren Artura Review: Proof That Fast Can Still Be Fun
We spend a week with the 690 hp McLaren Artura to see whether the experience lives up to the numbers.
| 0–60 mph | 3.0s |
|---|---|
| Power | 690 hp |
| Top speed | 205 mph |
| Layout | RWD |
Numbers rarely tell the whole story, but the McLaren Artura backs its figures with a character you feel within the first mile. This is a machine built by people who clearly understand what enthusiasts actually want.
Performance
With 690 horsepower on tap, the Artura dispatches the 0–60 mph sprint in 3.0s and presses on to a 205 mph top end. Yet the numbers matter less than how accessible the performance feels from behind the wheel.
On the road
The RWD layout shapes the entire experience, lending the Artura a balance that flatters an average driver while still rewarding an expert. Body control is tight without crashing over imperfections, and the steering tells you exactly what the front tyres are doing.
The best fast cars do not just go quickly — they make you want to go quickly again.
Living with it
Living with the Artura reveals a practical streak. It is comfortable enough for a long haul, the interior feels worth the money, and visibility and ergonomics have clearly been considered rather than ignored.
The verdict
The McLaren Artura is not flawless, but its flaws are the honest kind that come with focus. For the driver it was built for, it delivers exactly what it promises, and that is rarer than it should be.
