McLaren’s plug-in hybrid supercar faltered in our first drive, but it’s gotten better.
In that context, the Artura—at a claimed 4.9 pounds/horsepower—felt considerably lighter, nimbler, and more immediate in its responses than the R8 and even perhaps a touch sprightlier than the MC20 Cielo . Its performance and handling limits feel just as accessible as the Maserati's, with the electric-assist torque helping deliver more uniform thrust in corner exits.
The electrohydraulic steering transmits great road feel, from variations in pavement coarseness to the rumble of track curbing, regardless of drive modes. That's because McLaren refuses to alter steering and brake feel . The brake pedal travels more than that of a 765, but you can modulate it just as easily.
