McLaren has tested its upcoming 'Artura GT4' at the Monza racetrack in Italy. The car was cloaked in camouflage paint that hid the majority of its components. However, the race car performed excellently on the track, suggesting that the brand's latest GT vehicle is in its late stages of development.
The Artura GT4 is a consumer racing edition of the brand's standard 'Artura' road car. The Artura GT4 will reportedly have a V6 engine that delivers nearly 600 horsepower and well over 400 pounds-per-feet of torque. McLaren will debut its Artura GT4 racecar for the 2023 season where it will replace the previous '570S GT4' consumer race car. The 570S GT4 was used by the supercar manufacturer for nearly six years since its debut in 2016, so the new updated GT4 car is a welcomed improvement.
