While the world<\/span> awaits Ferrari\u2019s first all-electric car<\/a>\u2014due next year\u2014archrival McLaren insists that the technology doesn\u2019t yet exist to deliver an EV worthy of its name.<\/p>\n

Power clearly isn\u2019t the problem, but weight is the enemy in Woking, McLaren’s<\/a> UK headquarters, and batteries aren\u2019t getting lighter fast enough. Going fully electric results in unacceptable compromises to a car\u2019s dynamics, McLaren says.<\/p>\n

Light weight isn\u2019t just a philosophy to these guys, it\u2019s dogma, and, like all such things, that doesn\u2019t suggest much in the way of progressive thinking. Until you arrive at a corner at, shall we say, a committed velocity in the new Artura Spider.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Few cars are as fluid, balanced, and rewarding as this, a lissome-looking machine, which soon has you thinking like a racing driver: Plotting entry, apex, and exit, dallying with a trailing throttle or trying to dial out understeer. It gets right under your skin.<\/p>\n

McLaren doesn\u2019t even rate fully electric steering as pure enough, and the Artura\u2019s precision feel is undoubtedly helped by an old-school hydraulic setup. Apparently, it\u2019s almost identical to the steering configuration in the 600 LT<\/a>, which is nothing less than one of the greatest-handling cars ever made.<\/p>\n

Pimped P1 Power<\/h2>\n
