It will scarcely come as a shock that McLaren is producing a drop-top version of the Artura – it has done as much for every unlimited production model so far. Nor will it be a great surprise that the new Artura Spider is lighter than any rival.
Its carbon fibre and composite roof can be raised or lowered in 11 seconds flat and at speeds up to 31mph. Of greater interest, though, is the raft of other upgrades that come with the car – which is available to order now for first deliveries this summer – that apply equally to both coupé and Spider versions of the Artura, for there is scarcely an area of its dynamic endeavour which is left untouched.
