McLaren Artura Named Best Performance Car Of 2025 – Here’s What Makes It Special

The McLaren Artura has taken top honours once again. It claimed the Performance Car of the Year title at the Auto Express New Car Awards 2025. Held in London, the awards celebrate the very best in the automotive world. The Artura stood out for all the right reasons.

Why the McLaren Artura Came Out on Top

According to the Auto Express judging panel, the Artura impressed with its blistering performance. Judges also noted the refined hybrid powertrain and its impeccable balance on the road. At the heart of the Artura sits a 3.0-litre V6 hybrid engine. It combines instant electric torque with McLaren’s signature driving thrills.

Yet it’s not just speed that sets it apart. Judges praised the car’s “beautifully balanced” ride and electro-hydraulic steering, which offers exceptional feedback. Add to that an interior designed for clarity and comfort. It’s no wonder they called it a “masterclass in ergonomics”.

A Supercar Built for Everyday Roads

One of the Artura’s biggest strengths is its usability. Auto Express called it “one of the most usable supercars ever created” – high praise for a machine that can hit serious speeds. However, it still handles a morning commute. Whether you’re tackling twisty B-roads or cruising quietly in electric mode, the Artura delivers on every front.

Award-Winning Performance Across the Board

This isn’t the first time the Artura has caught the attention of the motoring press. It was recently named ‘Britain’s Best Drivers’ Car’ at the 2025 Autocar Awards. The Artura Spider picked up Sports Car of the Year 2024 from The Sunday Times Driving.

Personalisation Meets Precision

Owners can tailor their Artura with a wide range of customisation options, from performance upgrades to styling details. It’s a car that reflects your preferences as much as it reflects McLaren’s engineering expertise.
