Here’s your rundown of McLaren’s first hybrid supercar in serial production, which is set to reach Singapore in 2022.
Petrolheads rejoice! The McLaren Artura is finally making its way to Singapore, and is set to arrive around the middle of 2022. Hailed as McLaren’s first hybrid in serial production, the Artura is a supercar that heralds a new chapter for the maque—this time with electrification as the theme.

Design-wise, the new vehicle is McLaren through and through with its sculpted form, low stance, and signature dihedral doors. The Artura has taken things further despite speaking this familiar language though. Note, for instance, how the shutlines and panel joints have been minimised, or how the doors now open closer to the body, with mirrors that fold in even more tightly.
The new vehicle also debuts McLaren’s new McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA) chassis, which has been optimised for hybrid applications. These optimisations include a bespoke battery compartment, as well as a domain-based electrical architecture that doesn’t just reduce cabling by 25 per cent, but also allows for faster data transmission between the various sensors, devices, and control modules.
