In the past, this model was recalled for service to correct a defect in the fuel pump, which led to fuel leaks and fires.
In the UK, a new McLaren Artura was completely burnt in the city of Leeds. The supercar caught fire during a test drive. The footage has surfaced online.
A potential buyer and a McLaren dealership manager went to test drive the Artura. However, while driving, the car caught fire.
Fortunately, the car was stopped and left quickly. As a result, the driver and passenger were not injured.
However, it was not possible to save the McLaren Artura supercar.
The fire was extinguished within half an hour due to the presence of a lithium-ion battery in the vehicle.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
By the way, the McLaren Artura costs $230,000. The car is equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo and an electric motor with a total power of 680 hp. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 3 seconds. Maximum speed – 330 km/h.
We remind you that earlier a $1.5 million Porsche supercar was smashed and dumped on the streets.
