The Artura is McLaren's first series-production plug-in hybrid. Early cars received several software updates, so buyers ask about update history as well as the usual McLaren questions. The good news for sellers is that the Artura launched with a longer factory warranty than earlier McLarens.
This page is specific to the Artura. For other McLarens and the full comparison of ways to sell, see the main McLaren guide.
