The Artura’s 3.0-liter V-6 is a hot-V design, with its turbochargers mounted between the banks of cylinders. It makes 577 horsepower and 431 pound-feet of torque.

A 34-pound electric motor mounted in the transmission contributes 94 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. Total net output is 671 horses and 531 pound-feet of torque.

In EV mode, the Artura has 11 miles of range and a top speed of 81 mph.

The new eight-speed transmission has no reverse gear, with backup chores handled by spinning the electric motor in reverse.

Top speed in hybrid mode is 205 mph.

New Pirelli tires contain sensors that tell the car not only what kind of tire they are, but temperature and air pressure as well.

As the “entry-level” McLaren, the Artura carries a base price of $237,500.

The Artura’s interior reimagines McLaren convention, which is to say it doesn’t look or function like the brand’s recent cars. That’s a good thing in some ways, but returning customers will need to acclimate.

The hybrid system’s 7.4-kWh battery can be plugged in or recharged underway by the V-6. There is no regenerative braking, to preserve the feel of the brake pedal.

To preserve feedback, steering assist is still hydraulic rather than electric.
