Driving Impressions

McLaren Artura

The most defining characteristic of the Artura’s plug-in hybrid powertrain is the silence as you pull out of the pit. Once you’ve gotten the car properly out on track though, the car transforms into a razor sharp driving tool that seems capable of slicing through any corner effortlessly at speed. The electric motor actually helps with boosting acceleration down the long straights at Sepang, while the brakes are simply phenomenal in their stopping power, giving you the confidence to push harder and faster.

McLaren GT

The GT is McLaren’s ‘soft’ grand touring model, and there is evidence of that on show at the track. It isn’t quite as scalpel-sharp as the other two cars, but it remains no less entertaining to drive. It lets you know very clearly where its limits are, especially under hard braking and high speed cornering, but it also feels very communicative and engaging to drive round the circuit.

McLaren 720S

Out of the trio, the 720S is arguably the car that’s most suited to the track. It feels utterly precise and pin-sharp through the corners, and there’s a remarkable balance about the car that makes it feel so natural to drive on track. The 4.0-litre V8 with over 700 horsepower is capable of barreling you down the straights at breakneck pace, and sounds remarkably fruity too.
