JAKARTA - McLaren officially introduced the new Artura Spider, its first convertible car with a high-performance hybrid powertrain as well as a second Artura model.

The latest Spider comes with a significant increase in the strength, performance, and involvement of the driver, combined with the pleasure of sensory driving the roof open.

Artura Spider presents the highest level of dynamic performance and includes extraordinary circuit capabilities, and meets regular driving requirements and offers almost silent electric drive that is very useful in urban environments.

The new architecture is truly a complete next-generation supercar, any model you choose. We have improved the powertrain and chassis systems to generate greater power, more dynamic performance, and higher connectivity rates with drivers without any compromise in everyday driving," said Michael Leiters, CEO, McLaren Automotive, on the company's website, Wednesday, February 28.

In more detail, this one car is equipped with a hybrid powertrain M630 V6 3.0 liter twin-turbocharged which produces a combination of 690 hp and 531 Nm torque, or 19 more hp than before.

Meanwhile, new engine seats limit powertrain movement and improve stability, combined with a eight-speed gearbox equipped with revised calibration, resulting in 25 percent faster gear movement and sending power via electronically controlled differentials to the rear wheels.

With the engine above, the violent acceleration of Artura Spider 0-100km/hour only takes 3.0 seconds, and 0-200 km/hour in 8.4 seconds 0-300 km/hour in 21.6 seconds and the maximum speed of the car is 330 km/hour.

Not only that, to ensure safety and comfort there are also features that can detect nearby traffic, road sign recognition and many more.
