The 2023 McLaren Artura is packed with fascinating new technology. It features an all new 120º twin-turbo V6 engine, as well as an axial-flux motor, for a combined output of 671 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque. Keeping everything together is a new carbon fiber monocoque, with a 7.4 kWh battery pack. Power is sent through a new 8-speed dual clutch transmission, which also houses the first electronic limited slip differential in a road-going McLaren.

Apologies all,
Did you ever think you'd get to the point in your TH-cam career that you'd start off your video with reviewing the latest McClaren? What a wild ride! Congrats
Not sure what’s more impressive, the axial flux motor or Jason’s ability to remember this information, articulate it and drive at the same time in an easily understandable way. Been a fan of the channel for years. Never ceases to amaze me! Thanks for everything you do!
Really cool to see this, i actually work at yasa motors in oxford uk, these are the motors that we produce everyday for mclaren, mercedes and ferrari, great to hear jason talking about this!
the magnetic flux can also flow from the north pole on one side to the south pole on the other rotor. this results in greater magnetic flux density around the stator since the magnetic field lines are being squeezed towards a parallel line between each magnetic pair that passes thru the stator.
As an electric motor designer, I have to say that I am impressed by your video. Some people make videos saying, that AF motors are better in every way, which is not true. However I want to clear up a few minor points: (AF = axial flux, RF = radial flux)
Getting 100hp out of something half the size of a torqueconverter, is AMAZING. Basically put two of those together in a transmission for 200hp, and run any small car without the weight and cubic feet space requirement of an actual engine bay! Imagine what engineers can do with the entire driveline being basically a transmission under the car and no engine bay at all, and still get several hundred horsepower out of it with 2-3 of these motors packed down there.
This is exactly the kind of plug-in hybrid turbo technology I've wanted! Throwing in the axial flux motor there makes it even that much better. With the battery regen modes, and hydraulic assist steering - it's like they were reading my mind.
This is one of your best videos ever. Truly fascinating design and engineering, and great sound and images of that beautiful car. My first thought was that it’s a P1 that “normal” enthusiasts can actually buy.
I had an MRI scan many years ago, this car sounds just like that!
Amazing tutorial throughout the entire video about how this particular vehicle performs and why it is able to do what it does. Very high knowledge level " dumbed down " so even I can understand this particular vehicle's drive train. It was so nice to learn ,I even have it saved in one of my playlists. Thank you Engineering Explained 🙏 😘 ☺️.
Welcome back. A really interesting video after a really long time. I would love to hear more focussed episodes on individual parts of this car. I really want to know about the clutches -- between the engine and the motor and between the motor and the transmission.
Wow! Good job on this video Jason! As someone who doesn't know very much about electric motors, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was able to understand and comprehend everything you were teaching, and you kept it very interesting. When I first heard about this new Mclaren, I thought "just another supercar manufacturer building another hybrid car", but wow, there's a lot of cool new things in this car (I especially liked learning about the packaging advantages the 120 degree V6 has).
I work in the automotive industry, and I'm passionate about electric motors. I was iterating in my head how to improve the performance and efficiency of electric motors and my conclusion was the same design of these axial flux motors. It's quite interesting.
Congratulations on another super interesting video, Jason! :)
Engineering Explained becomes Cars Explained.
Thanks for doing a review where I actually learnt something rather than the normal reading of the spec sheet quoting bhp, 0-60 and top speed.
Man, the interior noise is crazy loud in that thing.
I love that your are rolling off all the tech while your driving. You prepared very very well for this video. Great work!
easily understandable technical stuff, cool car, and maaan the landscape is incredible!!
