Full Speed Ahead
The automotive landscape in Malaysia just got a lot more exhilarating. McLaren Kuala Lumpur has expanded its already impressive repertoire with the introduction of the new McLaren Artura Spider, a game-changing convertible that takes hybrid supercar performance to thrilling new heights. As McLaren's first-ever open-top high-performance hybrid, the Artura Spider delivers a perfect fusion of electrified technology, powerful dynamics, and the unmatched sensation of driving with the wind in your hair.
Supercar Evolution: The First Hybrid Convertible
At first glance, the McLaren Artura Spider is undeniably stunning, but this new addition is much more than a pretty face. It is the second model in McLaren’s electrified Artura line-up, and it stands out as a masterpiece of innovation and engineering. The Spider boasts significant upgrades to its power and performance, enhancing the driving experience in ways that are both subtle and striking.

Priced from RM 3.4 million (duties included) before options, the Artura Spider delivers an exhilarating new dimension to the already acclaimed Artura Coupe. Not only does it offer the visceral pleasures of open-top driving, but it does so while retaining McLaren’s high standards of speed, precision, and cutting-edge technology.
Hybrid Power Meets Open-Air Thrills
At the heart of the Artura Spider is McLaren’s advanced hybrid powertrain, a 3.0-litre V6 engine paired with twin-turbochargers, which delivers an astonishing 700PS (690bhp). This powerhouse engine is extremely lightweight – at just 160kg – and features a 120-degree V-angle, allowing for a lower centre of gravity and enhancing the car’s handling. The engine's compact design, combined with its dry-sump aluminium architecture, means the Spider benefits from reduced weight without compromising on power, agility, or refinement.
Lightweight Engineering Meets Luxury
McLaren’s unwavering commitment to super-lightweight engineering has resulted in a convertible that defies the expectations of its class. With a dry weight of just 1,457kg and a kerb weight (DIN) of only 1,560kg, the Artura Spider is just 62kg heavier than the coupe version, making it easily the lightest in its category by up to 83kg. This weight advantage, combined with its hybrid powertrain, gives the Artura Spider an astonishing 480PS per tonne at its lightest, ensuring that every ounce of its power is optimised for a breathtaking driving experience.

A Hybrid for Every Day
While the Artura Spider is more than capable of delivering the heart-pounding excitement expected from a McLaren, it also adapts effortlessly to everyday life. In urban environments, the Artura’s near-silent electric-drive mode ensures that you can navigate city streets with ease and tranquillity. This eco-conscious feature demonstrates McLaren’s commitment to blending sustainability with performance, ensuring that drivers can enjoy the benefits of electrification without sacrificing the exhilarating aspects of supercar ownership.
