The Artura is the first McLaren to use the MCLA (McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture) carbon fibre chassis, which weighs just 82 kg. One of the car's standout design features is the "chimney" heat extractor above the engine bay, which channels hot air from the turbos (up to 900 degrees) directly away, cooling it to 240 degrees. The "gill" side intakes channel airflow to cool the engine, battery, and electric motor.
