The McLaren Artura has been selected as 'Britain’s Best Driver’s Car' at the 2025 Autocar Awards. Autocar is a global automotive magazine.
This award was determined through rigorous tests over three days. The tests included many of today’s most notable high-performance vehicles. The Autocar judging panel particularly praised the Artura’s refined balance, excellent feedback, handling that enhances the joy of driving, a high-quality hybrid powertrain, and the high level of trust it offers to drivers during road driving.
Autocar editor Mark Tisshaw noted, “The Artura is a model that showcases versatility as a mid-engine supercar. It gives the impression that it can handle everything from commuting to everyday errands and long-distance trips without discomfort. It’s easy to get in and provides enough enjoyment even in normal driving, making one want to drive it regularly. This outstanding practicality coexists with performance, handling precision, control feedback, and driving pleasure that no other car can match at Cadwell Park Circuit.”
The Artura encapsulates all the elements that define the McLaren brand, including its differentiated design, thrilling performance, and dynamic driving completeness. Equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo hybrid powertrain that delivers a maximum output of 700 horsepower, it achieves a harmony between powerful V6 performance and cutting-edge electrification technology.
Combining the explosive acceleration and emotional sound unique to supercars with the practicality of fully electric driving in E-mode, it provides an optimized driving experience for every situation the driver desires. This allows one to enjoy intense driving pleasure on ideal roads while experiencing near-silent electric driving in the city.
From the innovative interior where driver-centered design and optimized ergonomics harmonize to the excellent feedback provided by McLaren's unique electro-hydraulic steering system, the Artura offers the driving experience of a hybrid high-performance supercar. The perfect combination of precise steering performance and smooth ride comfort transforms every moment of driving into enjoyment, while advanced technology instills confidence and control in the driver to fully command the driving experience.
McLaren Group Holdings CEO Nick Collins said, “It’s a proud moment for all McLaren team members involved in the development of the Artura that it has been named 'Britain’s Best Driver’s Car' by Autocar. This award is evidence of the fruits of our constant focus on creating a supercar that truly connects with drivers and offers an unforgettable driving experience.”
