(August 9, 2021) McLaren Automotive will be celebrating both its future and past across Pebble Beach week with some truly iconic supercars — as it marks its 10th anniversary in the North American market. On Friday, Aug. 13, the all-new McLaren Artura will be making its North American public show debut at the Road and Track Clubhouse at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. The Artura is McLaren Automotive’s first ever series production high-performance hybrid, representing the distillation of more than half-a-century of expertise in race and road car engineering. The Artura will also be featured on the Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn on Sunday.

The Artura is the first model to be built on the all-new McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA), which is uniquely optimized for hybrids, and is built in-house at the McLaren Composites Technology Centre in Sheffield, England. The Artura blends thrilling performance, driving dynamics and engagement with EV driving capability. It afforded McLaren engineers new opportunities to innovate, chief among these being how to preserve McLaren’s super-lightweight engineering philosophy when adding hybrid powertrain elements. The Artura remains true to every attribute inherent in a McLaren, while also being the most efficient McLaren ever produced.



The all-new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 gas engine with an E-motor produces a combined output of 671bhp and 531 lb ft. of torque. The 94 bhp E-motor delivers instant torque of 166 lb ft, ensuring the sharpest-ever throttle response from a McLaren — 0-60mph in 3.0 seconds — while the 7.4kWH battery supports 19 miles of electric-only range. Performance is further boosted with a curb weight of just 3,303 pounds, the lightest in its class.

An all-new lightweight eight-speed transmission integrates McLaren’s first electronic-differential and new rear suspension, upgraded electro-hydraulic steering and Proactive Damping Control to enhance agility, stability and dynamic performance.

The overall experience is heightened by an exterior design philosophy which gives a “shrink-wrapped” pure and functional look, while the interior is completely new with smartphone mirroring support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Taking center stage during the McLaren Owners Club rally will be both versions of McLaren’s newest Ultimate series car - the open cockpit speedster McLaren Elva. Available both with or without a windshield, the McLaren Elva celebrates the renowned Bruce McLaren-designed M1A and McLaren-Elva M1A [Mk I], M1B [Mk II] and M1C [Mk III] of the 1960s. Produced as "customer’" versions of the innovative and exciting Group 7 McLaren race cars, the McLaren-Elva sports cars embodied many of the pioneering design and engineering principles that are integral to the McLaren road cars produced today.

Limited to just 149 versions globally, the latest Elva is a ferociously fast, open-cockpit, extreme two-seater with a bespoke carbon fibre chassis and body but no roof, no windscreen and no side windows. With every sensory input heightened, this is a car that exists to provide unparalleled driving pleasure on road or track.

A 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged McLaren V8 from the same family of engines that powers the McLaren Senna and Senna GTR combines with the lightest vehicle weight of any road car produced by McLaren Automotive to give the super-light new Ultimate Series roadster truly breath-taking performance across the board, with extraordinary levels of acceleration, agility and driver feedback.

On Friday evening, McLaren’s road car origins will be celebrated with the much-anticipated sale of a "time capsule" 1995 McLaren F1 by Gooding & Company.

This F1, chassis 029, has rarely been seen in public, having spent most of its time hidden away in a private Japanese collection. Presented in an almost ‘as delivered’ state, this iconic supercar has covered less than 390 kilometers (243 miles) in 26 years and remains in pristine, original condition.
