McLaren’s hybrid supercar, the Artura, has added another prestigious accolade to its name—Autocar’s 2025 ‘Britain’s Best Driver’s Car’. In a head-to-head battle against the most thrilling performance machines on sale today, the Artura emerged as the clear winner, impressing judges with its electrifying blend of power, precision, and everyday usability.
The verdict came after a three-day showdown of high-octane testing, with Autocar’s expert panel putting each contender through its paces. The Artura stood apart, winning praise for its balance, immersive handling, and the way it puts the driver at the heart of the experience.
“The Artura’s versatility as a mid-engined supercar really is something special,” said Mark Tisshaw, Editor of Autocar. “It’s effortless to drive to the office or on weekend getaways—and then turns into a precision instrument on track. Nothing else could match it at Cadwell Park.”
At the core of the Artura is a 700PS 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain, delivering searing performance and spine-tingling sound alongside the serenity of a near-silent E-mode. Whether unleashing its fury on a winding road or gliding silently through city streets, the Artura offers a dual personality—raw and exhilarating one moment, refined and composed the next.
It’s not just the performance that dazzles. Inside, the Artura wraps the driver in a purpose-built cockpit, where every control is within intuitive reach. The trademark electro-hydraulic steering delivers exceptional feedback, making every corner a moment of connection between machine and driver.
From its cutting-edge engineering to its bespoke personalisation options, the Artura is designed to be as unique as the person behind the wheel. It’s a supercar that doesn’t just thrive on the track—it fits seamlessly into real life, without compromising on drama, engagement, or elegance.
“This award is a proud moment for everyone at McLaren,” said Nick Collins, CEO of McLaren Group Holdings. “The Artura is the result of tireless innovation and an obsession with the driving experience. To have it recognised as Britain’s Best Driver’s Car is a powerful validation of our mission.”
With its winning blend of advanced hybrid technology, unmatched dynamics, and everyday usability, the McLaren Artura isn’t just raising the bar—it’s redefining what a supercar can be.
