On Tuesday, the $225,000 2022 McLaren Artura debuted with a new plug-in hybrid powertrain, carbon-fiber tub, and electronic architecture that will enable over-the-air (OTA) updates.

The Artura is the first McLaren to be truly new since the the MP4-12C supercar nearly a decade ago.

The Artura utilizes the electric motor to reverse the car by spinning in the opposite direction.

At 3,303 pounds, the Artura is no heavyweight, but McLaren said it packs a punch with a 0-60 mph sprint of 3.0 seconds, a 0-124 mph blast of 8.3 seconds, and a 0-186 mph run of 21.5 seconds on its way to a top speed limited to 205 mph.

The 7.4-kwh lithium-ion battery pack that powers the electric motor provides the Artura with up 19 miles of all-electric range.

The Artura features a simple interior focused on driving with powertrain and handling controls mounted on the side of the digital instrument cluster, an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and heated seats with memory and lumbar adjustments.
