  3. 2022

    Software delays cloud the first drives

    Launch reviews report infotainment failures after software problems had already forced McLaren to cancel the previous year's media drives.2

  4. 2022

    GT4 drops the hybrid for racing

    Unveiled at Goodwood in June, the GT4 loses the road car's motor and battery under racing rules, sending power rearward through seven speeds.7

  5. 2023

    2.6 seconds to 60 mph, tested

    The 2023 coupe records 0–60 mph in 2.6 seconds, a 10.3-second quarter-mile and 1.08 g on the skidpad; braking from 113 km/h takes 43 m.3

  6. 2024

    11-second roof, revised chassis

    The Spider brings an 11-second folding hardtop, while both body styles get quicker-reacting dampers, a revised engine mount and better brake cooling.89

  7. 2024

    MY25: 690 hp, free for early owners

    MY25 raises output to 690 hp and claimed EV range from 31 to 34 km; early coupes can get the power upgrade free where permitted.8

How to spot one

Look for

  • Boomerang-shaped headlight-and-intake units occupy slim openings in the nose.19
  • Deep channels in the doors feed huge exposed side intakes behind them.1920
  • Slender taillights leave room for full-width aluminum mesh across the rear.20
  • The tail has a built-in spoiler and 2 exhausts pointing straight backward.21
  • A heat-extraction chimney on the rear deck resembles a top-exit exhaust.820

Year by year

  1. MY25 (2025)

    The exterior barely changed; reshaped exhaust outlets provide a visible clue to the revised coupe and Spider.8

  2. 2025 Spider

    The Spider adds a retractable hardtop and transparent rear buttresses; the coupe retains solid buttresses.914

Don’t confuse it with

    McLaren 720S

    The Artura exposes its large intakes behind the doors; the 720S hides its intakes inside the doors.20

    Look for the Artura’s boomerang-shaped headlight-and-intake units; the GT lacks that combination.19

  • McLaren 600LT

    The 600LT has genuine top-mounted exhausts; the Artura’s similar-looking top opening is a heat chimney.2022
