The McLaren Artura is pretty much as exotic as it gets when it comes to the “entry-level” supercar segment, but Novitec stepped in to add some spice. The tuner went crazier than usual with its carbon fiber bits, adding a sizeable wing at the back, alongside the usual power increase, custom exhaust, new wheels, and lowering springs. Let’s start by addressing the elephant in the room, aka that whale-tail spoiler. The vertical fins/supports are reminiscent of Koenigsegg, giving hypercar looks to McLaren’s entry-level supercar as they stretch from the D-pillars to the rear end.
Novitec’s carbon-fiber bodykit for the
baby McLaren also includes a prominent splitter at the front, a new hood made
of exposed carbon fiber, matching gurney flaps, two-piece side skirts with
integrated fins, a garnish for the side intakes, and aerodynamic extensions for
the rear bumper. Interior upgrades can include leather and Alcantara upholstery
in any desired color. The modified Artura rides on a new set of alloy wheels
made by Vossen, measuring 19 inches at the front and 20 inches at the back. For
a more planted stance, the supercar is brought closer to the ground by 20 mm, with the help of Novitec’s custom-tuned sports springs.
Setting aside the visual and chassis
upgrades, the tuner wanted to make the McLaren Artura louder and more powerful.
This is why they added their signature Novitec Race high-performance exhaust
system, which can be made from stainless steel or Inconel, with optional 999
fine gold plating and custom tailpipes. The exhaust not only enhances the sound
experience but also increases the power output of the engine. More
specifically, the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 gains a claimed power bump of around
35 hp, resulting in a combined output of 725 hp from the Artura’s plug-in hybrid system.
Novitec didn’t announce the cost of the
upgrades, but each component is individually available, so you can gradually
improve your build based on your budget.
