Spotted: New McLaren Artura Variants Caught Testing
The McLaren Artura had a rough launch. The automaker delayed deliveries and paused production in 2023 to implement additional quality control procedures, with its CEO admitting the car wasn't ' mature .' Despite all that, it seems McLaren might be ready to give the plug-in hybrid supercar a few updates. A new video from the NCars YouTube channel shows the automaker testing two different camouflaged versions of the Artura. The first one shown in the video looks like the current car, but as it passes by the camera, a clear, plastic rear ducktail wing glistens in the sunlight. It's the only noticeable difference, but it could be an indication that McLaren is developing a Longtail variant. The company has said it has no plans to launch additional models below the Artura . The other camouflage car shown appears to have an incomplete hood vent. There's a missing section of the hood where the front trunk should be, which resembles a cutout for a Lego piece or some hardcore bespoke luggage set. This car also featured additional camouflage along the rear window, but the video never shows what McLaren was trying to hide. It's unclear whether the company is preparing a new Artura variant or introducing several minor tweaks to the current car. Any updates could coincide with changes to the powertrain. The Artura on sale today makes 690 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque from its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 hybrid powertrain. Either way, McLaren is clearly testing something new for the model, and we likely won't have to wait long to see the results. Here's More From McLaren: The McLaren 765LT Proves Why the 'Longtail' Name Is So Special McLaren Is Milking Its Le Mans History Again.
