McLaren Will Inevitably Launch An Artura Spider, Might Look Like This

Last month McLaren unveiled the Artura, a brand-new plug-in hybrid supercar that will replace the 570S. Despite being launched as a coupe, as with all of Woking’s models (save for the limited-run Ultimate Series) a Spider version should be on the works.

Oftentimes, engineering an open-top version is not that simple, as the loss of a fixed roof necessitates chassis reinforcements to make up for the reduced rigidity. However, the Artura is based on a new carbon fiber tub that, despite weighing 181 lbs, is not only lighter, but also offers improved structural stiffness, thus developing the Spider shouldn’t be that difficult.

Although McLaren hasn’t (naturally) announced anything yet, from what we’ve seen with its other open-top models it would look just as good as the coupe, if not better. AksyonovNikita rendered McLaren’s latest supercar as a quite convincing Spider, finished in Belize Blue with discreet red accents in the brake calipers, the front fender vents and door handles.

Deliveries of McLaren’s first electrified series production model (the P1 was a limited run) are scheduled to kick off in the third quarter of the year. Pricing starts at $225,000 and power is supplied by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 and an electric motor, assisted by a 7.4 kWh lithium-ion battery. The combined output and torque stands at 671 HP (680 PS / 500 kW) and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm). The Artura weighs 3,075 pounds (1,395 kg) dry, has an electric range of 19 miles (30 km), a 205 mph (330 km/h) top speed and will accelerate to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.0 seconds.
