McLaren Artura Crowned ‘Britain’s Best Driver’s Car’ by Autocar Magazine

The McLaren Artura has earned yet another expert accolade, with automotive title, Autocar, naming the accomplished supercar as ‘Britain’s Best Driver’s Car’ at the 2025 Autocar Awards.

The winning verdict came after a rigorous three-day test of some of the most exciting performance cars on sale today. Autocar’s panel of judges particularly praised the Artura for its poise and feedback, engaging handling, seamless hybrid powertrain, and the confidence it inspires as a drivers’ car on road. The Artura displays a depth of dynamic capability that will satisfy the most demanding of drivers.

“The Artura’s versatility as a mid-engined supercar really is special. You feel like you could, perfectly comfortably, do the office commute in it, run errands and take it on trips away. And, because it’s so easy to get into and so lovely just to drive ‘normally’, you would want to. That singular usability also runs parallel with a level of performance, handling precision, control feedback and all-round driver engagement that absolutely nothing else could live with on track at Cadwell Park.”
