The McLaren Artura<\/a> supercar has earned another accolade, with the world\u2019s oldest automotive publication, Autocar<\/em>, naming it \u2018Britain\u2019s Best Driver\u2019s Car<\/span>\u2019<\/span> at the 2025 Autocar Awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

The winning verdict came after a rigorous three-day test of some of today’s most exciting performance cars at the Caldwell Park motor racing circuit in Lincoln, England. Autocar\u2019s<\/em> panel of judges particularly praised the Artura for its poise and feedback, engaging handling, seamless hybrid powertrain, and the confidence it inspires as a driver\u2019s car, which will satisfy the most demanding of drivers. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Artura\u2019s versatility as a mid-engined supercar really is special,\u201d said Mark Tisshaw, Editor, Autocar<\/em>. \u201cYou feel like you could, perfectly comfortably, do the office commute in it, run errands and take it on trips away. And, because it\u2019s so easy to get into and so lovely just to drive \u2018normally\u2019, you would want to. That singular usability also runs parallel with a level of performance, handling precision, control feedback and all-round driver engagement that absolutely nothing else could live with on track at Cadwell Park.\u201d<\/p>\n

Powered by a 3.0-litre, twin-turbocharged high-performance hybrid powertrain producing 700PS, the Artura combines V6 power with cutting-edge electrification technology. It blends its supercar identity and performance, including intense acceleration and emotive sound, with the benefits of an all-electric E-mode. The result is thrilling engagement, but also near-silent electric drive when required.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the innovative driver-centric interior with optimized ergonomics that provides the most special of driver environments to the superb feedback of the trademark McLaren electro-hydraulic-assisted steering, the Artura excels as a high-performance hybrid supercar that delivers exceptional driving experiences. An unbeatable combination of dynamic precision and ride fluency makes every drive a pleasure, while groundbreaking technologies give the driver total control over their journey. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Artura\u2019s innovative engineering is complemented by advanced personalization options and features that enable any Artura buyer to create a supercar that precisely meets their demands and is tailored to their lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAutocar\u2019s recognition of the Artura as Britain\u2019s Best Driver\u2019s Car is a proud moment for everyone at McLaren who has been involved with developing Artura into a standout supercar. This award is a testament to our relentless focus to craft supercars that truly connect with the driver to deliver unforgettable driving experiences,\u201d said Nick Collins, CEO, McLaren Group Holdings.<\/p>\n
