McLaren Unveils the Artura Trophy EVO

As a seasoned gamer of virtual race tracks and a long-time fan of McLaren, I must say the unveiling of the Artura Trophy EVO has me revving my (imaginary) engine with anticipation! The power boost from 570 to 620 hp, coupled with the new “Push to Pass” feature, promises a thrilling and competitive experience that’s sure to electrify the McLaren Trophy championships.


McLaren has revealed the updated Artura Trophy EVO, ready to energize McLaren Trophy competitions from the 2025 season onwards. This latest racing vehicle boasts substantial advancements in power, traction, and driver interaction. Moreover, a fresh Pro driver category and the McLaren Trophy Academy are being introduced to take the racing adventure to unprecedented levels.

The Artura Trophy EVO, an impressive upgrade from its original version, now sports a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine that pumps out a powerful 620 hp, thanks to the addition of a “Push to Pass” feature. This system is intended to create advantageous passing chances, reflecting McLaren’s dedication to improving driver interaction and maintaining a competitive edge on the race track.

Beyond its power upgrade, the Artura Trophy EVO includes broader tires and an enhanced suspension system for greater road grip. It also sports a fresh aerodynamic look, with a more aggressive front end featuring a modified bumper, hood outlet, and wider wheel wells. These modifications not only enhance the car’s cool appearance but also aid in better cooling, minimizing lift.

In simple terms, the recently introduced Pro category caters to individual or pair Silver-ranked racers, with the purpose of nurturing future stars in Gran Turismo racing. Those who sign up for this tier will be admitted into the McLaren Talent Development Program, where they’ll learn driving techniques, engineering aspects of motorsport, and media management skills. The standout performers will have an opportunity to participate in the yearly McLaren Young Driver Competition, with the ultimate aim of securing a place within the esteemed McLaren Professional Driving Team.

In 2025, the McLaren Trophy will extend its reach to North America, signifying a fresh phase in the brand’s involvement in international GT racing. The Artura Trophy EVO and its associated programs herald this new era for the brand.
