Celebratin­g the start of deliveries of the McLaren Artura, an exciting track-driving event for McLaren customers and enthusiast­s, as well as key automotive and technology media, was held at the iconic Dubai Autodrome and provided VIP guests with an opportunit­y to test drive the first series highperfor­mance hybrid supercar from McLaren Automotive.

“We are thrilled to start the regional deliveries of the all-new McLaren Artura, a car that will spearhead McLaren into the new era of supercar technology and performanc­e. The Artura has been very well received by the customers and enthusiast­s in the Middle East and Africa region, and we are excited for them to experience the breathtaki­ng performanc­e and dynamic excellence embodied in this beautiful supercar,” said Mohammed Fawzi, market director, Middle East & Africa, McLaren Automotive.

The new McLaren Artura is a result of more than half a century of McLaren’s racing and road car experience and know-how. This revolution­ary supercar is a distillati­on of every attribute inherent in a McLaren, combined with faster throttle response, lower emissions, and the ability to run in pure EV mode, thanks to its groundbrea­king electrifie­d powertrain. It is the first model built on the new McLaren Carbon Lightweigh­t Architectu­re, which sets new standards for advanced chassis design and features a wealth of weightredu­ction measures, resulting in class-leading lightest dry weight of 1,395kg*, and a DIN kerb weight of 1,489kg.
