The world of supercars is going electric.
Case in point, the McLaren Artura: The latest from the UK supercar manufacturer is a hybrid, and is the future of McLaren. All future designs will also be either hybrid or all-electric. On the Artura, the plug-in-hybrid system adds 96 horses and 166 pound-feet.
Other hybrid supercars include Ferrari 296 GTB and the Porsche Panamera 4 e-Hybrid; the all electrics supercars include Rimac Nevera, Audi E-Tron GT, NIO EP9, Lotus Evija, Piëch Automotive Mark Zero, Elextra Cars, and the Rimac C-Two.
Looking at the green hybrid 2022 McLaren Artura below, you will have to excuse me for thinking I found one of my long-lost Hot Wheels cars I loved so much as a kid.
