The 296 has a standard heads-up display that projects speed and tachometer readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Artura doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The McLaren Artura’s Keyless Entry and Lock doesn’t unlock the trunk.
