McLaren Artura / Audi R8 Comparison

Prestige is something that every Arizona supercar owner hopes to have when they purchase their next vehicle. Nothing is more prestigious than a modern McLaren like the Artura. Being the first hybrid supercar from the brand, the McLaren Artura takes the same elite performance that McLaren fans know and love and adds the benefits of electric power to the equation. Compared to other elite members of the supercar field, such as the Audi R8 fail to encapsulate what makes the Artura such a unique offering in the competitive market.  

Performance 

  • The Hybrid Powertrain of the Artura Generates More Power Than the Audi R8 
  • Sportiness of Both Vehicles Elevated with Standard RWD Platforms 

Boasting a combination of a vibrant twin-turbocharged V6 engine and a dynamic electric motor, the McLaren Artura generates a phenomenal 671 combined horsepower. This vastly outperforms the standard V10 engine in the R8, which is a dynamic engine in its own right. However, with only 562 horsepower, the Audi falls quickly behind the Artura when it comes to delivering heart-pounding performance across Arizona. Both vehicles come equipped with standard RWD platforms to ensure that nimble handling on the racetrack or just around town is achieved.
 

Interior Features 

  • The McLaren Artura Delivers a Driving Experience More Attuned to a Race Car Than the R8 
  • Plenty of Infotainment Content to Elevate Any Greater Phoenix Region Adventure 

McLaren designed the Artura to make drivers feel like they are piloting a proper race car. As such, the cockpit has plenty of racing inspiration to get the driver in the right state of mind. This also contributes to the more functional nature of the cabin, as McLaren shed as much weight as possible from the supercar to further elevate the overall performance of the vehicle. However, both vehicles feature plenty of premium infotainment content for those leisurely cruises where enjoyment is the most important thing. Integrated navigation, Bluetooth® connectivity, and SiriusXM® radio capability are shared between the two vehicles.  

Safety Features 

  • Nimble RWD Handling Responds Accurately to Any Arizona Road or Track 
  • Customers Can Elevate Their Supercars with Available Driver-Assistance Aids 

Since Arizona driving is a consistent experience throughout the year, the sharp responsiveness of the RWD platforms that the McLaren and the Audi sport offer substantial handling precision that drivers can trust. Customers looking at the McLaren Artura can also further supplement their sporty hybrid supercar with additional features. These include premium features such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Automatic High-Beam technology for safer nighttime driving.

People say about us

I had a great experience working with Christian Couch and Dwight Alonsi at McLaren. Christian was very welcoming and took the time to show me multiple rides that matched my specs. Couch made sure I found a 720S that best fit me, and was patient with making sure I understood the value of my trade and financing. They have a wide array of beautiful cars with CPO. If you are in the market for your dream car I would recommend contacting Couch to help make it a reality!

The guys and gals at Scottsdale McLaren were amazing. It was truly the best car buying experience I have ever had. They truly went above and beyond even after the sale. I purchased a Lamborghini Urus and leased a new McLaren the same day. It was lots of work to get it all completedand they handed it superbly. I highly recommend...

I had been in the market for a gently used Lexus SC 430 and found a great car at McLaren Scottsdale. Working with Cameron and his team was the best car buying experience I can ever remember. Professional, responsive and did everything he could to ensure we always felt like his top priority. I highly recommend!

Super impressed by Christian Couch. Very knowledgeable and professional when it comes to the exotic car market. Never feel pressured when looking for a new car with him. If you are looking for great, no pressure experience on your next car purchase, look no further! Ask for Couch. He’ll take care of you. I’m very picky about customer service and he delivers everytime.

I bought a 570S back in 2016 from McLaren Scottsdale. They were great to work with then and still are today.I took delivery of my new 750S this week. The entire process was simple and crazy fast. Trade value for my 720S was fair and inline with the market.I specifically worked with Christian Couch and he was on top of the deal at every step. He was always quick to reply and provided details at every step of the process (photos, videos, etc). And we did nearly the entire deal by talking via text which was preferrable to me.One of the best "traditional" dealer experiences I've ever had.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Absolutely Unmatched Experience — 2025 McLaren GTS PurchaseWorking with Christian Couch and Ethan Lawrence on the purchase of my 2025 McLaren GTS was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, they delivered a level of service, professionalism, and genuine care that’s nearly impossible to find in this industry.Christian was knowledgeable, attentive, and made the entire process seamless. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and ensured every detail was perfect. Ethan, as the owner, leads with integrity and passion, which reflects through his entire team. These guys don’t just sell cars, they build lasting relationships.What started as a transaction has turned into something much more. Christian and Ethan have truly become like family, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. If you’re looking for an elite automotive experience with people who truly care, this is the team to trust.Thank you both for making this dream come true, and for welcoming me into the family.

Stopped by the McLaren Scottsdale dealer last week to look at a 750s. Met with Christian Couch who was amazing! Top notch technical knowledge, very friendly and professional. Even though I had been researching this car for a while, his real world experience in driving this car on the road and on the track gave me insight you can’t find elsewhere. 5 stars for Christian Couch and McLaren Scottsdale!
