    McLaren Artura GT4 Race Car Loses Weight And The Hybrid Assist

    McLaren has always focused on keeping weight to a minimum to maximise the performance of their cars and this is still applied with their Artura which packs an intricate plug-in hybrid powertrain.

    Today they took the covers off the race car equivalent known as the McLaren Artura GT4 and it has gone on a diet to the tune of 130 kg (287 lbs).

    GT4 regulations do not allow hybrids so the race car has scrapped that part of the system and runs on the V6 unit alone which is powerful enough to make the track-only machine competitive. The battery pack fitted to the road car has now made way for the 110-litre fuel cell and ancillary drive system.

    The GT4 variant also replaces the eight-speed automatic found in the road car with a different seven-speed gearbox. It gets shorter gear ratios than its predecessor along with a rear-mounted mechanical limited-slip differential while reducing brake wear at the back.

    Naturally, it sports some significant aerodynamic upgrades including a bespoke front splitter and a new rear wing with seven levels of adjustability to fit various types of tracks.

    The McLaren Artura GT4 will celebrate its public debut on June 23 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Sussex.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
