McLaren Automotive will feature at Prestige Auto Beane 2024 with a display of stunning new cars, including the recently unveiled Artura Spider - making its National debut in France - along with McLaren's lightest and most powerful production supercar, the 750S. McLaren's first ever high-performance hybrid convertible, the new Artura Spider is introduced as a part of a significant model year enhancement for Artura including an increase in power, alongside elevated performance and driver engagement. The new Artura coupe benefits from the same improvements, further enhancing its next-generation supercar performance. The advanced M630 dry-sump aluminium 3.0-litre V6 and compact, lightweight E-motor powertrain now produces a combined total of 700PS, the engine itself producing more than 200PS per litre. Combined with a class leading lightest dry weight of 1,457kg, the Artura Spider's incredible power-to-weight ratio of 480PS-per-tonne ensures ferocious performance. When combined with the innovatively packaged retractable hard-top (RHT) that operates electrically in just 11 seconds, it adds a remarkable new dimension to the Artura. On display will be a new Artura Spider finished in stunning MSO Papaya Spark paint.

The 750S, with more power and less weight (30kg DIN) than the 720S it replaces, is capable of 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 7.2 seconds. The 750S features a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which produces 750PS and torque of 800Nm. Combined with new lightweight elements, the power-to-weight ratio is 587PS-per-tonne – an impressive 22PS-per-tonne greater than its closest competitor. Its outstanding dynamic capabilities are further unlocked by a new version of McLaren's Proactive Chassis Control linked-hydraulic suspension, PCC III. On stand will be a car finished in stunning Saros paint body colour, enhanced with extensive visual carbon fibre. Representing McLaren's Ultimate series of vehicles, a McLaren Speedtail will be showcased at Prestige Auto Beaune. The three-seat, hybrid Hyper-GT, with 106 units produced globally is the fastest McLaren road car ever with a top speed of 403km/h. The hybrid Hyper-GT's astonishing performance comes from a combination of attributes including aerodynamic excellence and low vehicle weight. Fundamental to this is a hybrid drivetrain system that incorporates pioneering battery technology. This unlocks the Speedtail's intense acceleration from standstill to 300km/h (186mph) in a breath-taking 13.0 seconds and on to a maximum speed of 403km/h (250mph).
