2022 Artura: The Full Force of McLaren
McLaren Automotive CEO Mike Flewitt refers to the new 2022 McLaren Artura as “The next-generation hybrid super-car. A distillation of everything we’ve ever learned.” He added the car was created with “The full force of McLaren.”
That is exceptional praise.
Get ready to see, hear and experience a higher level of hybrid. Let us introduce you to the remarkable, brand new 2022 McLaren Artura. Becoming more planet-friendly has never been so exhilarating.
Impressive From the Start
The 2022 Artura is pure McLaren. It is carefully and artfully crafted to carry the brand’s banner into the next era of super-car without compromise or apologies. The headlines alone will impress.
A Super Sleek Appearance with Minimal Body Joints. State-of-the-art manufacturing processes produce the Artura eliminating many body panel joints. This creates a sleek, almost liquid appearance.
An Innovative All New Transmission without Reverse. The 2022 McLaren Artura features an all new 8-speed transmission that doesn’t include a reverse gear. Instead, a separate electric motor fulfills the duties of reverse.
Superlight Construction Provide Dazzling Acceleration. The new Artura is engineered to just about 3,200 lbs., light by super-car standards and impressively so for a hybrid. This results in a zero to 124 mph acceleration time of just a tick over 8 seconds. You just may want to read that again.
A Deeper Dive

At the heart of its lightweight design is the McLaren Carbon Fiber Lightweight Architecture (MCLA). This platform minimizes weight with four new types of carbon fiber, resin and core built with incredible precision and delivering market leading strength and stiffness.
The Artura hybrid provides an electrifying performance for every journey. Its new twin turbocharged V6 gasoline engine produces 577 horsepower. Along with class-leading throttle response, and the 94 horsepower E-Motor, drivers have access to an abundance of instant torque that delivers heart-pounding acceleration. In all, the 2022 McLaren Artura totals 670 horsepower of seamless, efficient performance.
The Artura is low and lean and designed to manage wind and heat. With an ultra-low center of gravity and an optimum driving position, you’ll look at every curve in the road with a new sense of enthusiasm. You’ll face every straightaway with a confident smile.
Inside the cockpit of the Artura, drivers are presented with next-level engagement. Powertrain and handling switches are within easy grasp.

2020 McLaren 600LT
Raw and uncompromising, the next chapter in the history of the McLaren Longtail is embodied by the 2020 McLaren 600LT. For just the fourth time in two decades, a McLaren has received the LT, or Longtail, designation. And since missed opportunities can lead to regret, we think now is the perfect time for you to make it yours.
As the most exhilarating, road-legal model in the Sport Series, the 2020 McLaren 600LT is the result of brave engineering, bold design, and an obsession with weight reduction. Falling in line with its predecessors, this McLaren Longtail brings you right to the edge. Rather than built for the timid or the masses, it was created for the focused and the few. Are you ready to experience the thrill?
Lightweight with Power that Reaches the Extreme
Compared to the 570S Coupé, the 2020 McLaren 600LT has lost over 210 lbs of weight, a stated goal. This weight minimization is made possible through new carbon fiber bodywork, lightweight braking, a unique-in-class carbon fiber chassis, and suspension system. It even offers the option of Super-Lightweight Carbon Fiber Racing Seats. Its lightweight structure is coupled with both exceptional power and strength to provide an inspiring performance.
Equipped with a 3.8 liter, twin-turbo V8 engine, the 2020 McLaren 600LT generates 592 horsepower that produces 457 lb-ft of torque. Enlarged carbon fiber side intakes scoop and deliver required cooling to its powertrain. With a top speed of 204 mph, this Longtail will reach zero to 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds. Thrilling? Challenging? Exhilarating? All of the above.
Track-focused Aerodynamics and Absolute Driver Engagement
When you combined the increased power and reduced weight with superior track-focused dynamics, you’re given a completely raw driving experience.
Strap into lightweight carbon fiber racing seats and start the engine. The distinctive voice of its powerful engine comes to life and is dispersed by dual top-exit exhausts. Absorb the 600LT’s distinctive soundtrack and aggressive profile. Its stance is low and powerful and its handling superb. The lower portion of the McLaren 600LT, not available on the 570, has highly modified carbon fiber panels to control air flow around the vehicle. This enhances aerodynamics with massive down force and significantly improved high speed stability. Entering and exiting curves is thrilling and intuitive. Entering and exiting this extraordinary motorcar is easy through its iconic dihedral doors.
This is the epitome of Longtail.

Corsa Rally at Dimmitt Auto
80 luxury vehicles left Dimmitt Automotive today as part of the Corsa America rally. Sports cars and ultra-luxury automobiles met at Dimmitt Automotive and wrapped around McLaren Tampa Bay before taking off to their next locations as part of the modern road rally, Corsa 19: Florida. Corsa 19: Florida is one of several events created by Corsa America, the largest exotic sports car rally in the United States. These Corsa rallies bring car enthusiasts together and offer events and excursions as you travel across North America and Europe. Those who participate create friendships and have some of the greatest adventures imaginable.
There was so much excitement as the cars left Dimmitt Automotive. The rally will be traveling to Key Biscayne for two nights before finishing the trip in Orlando. These 80 exotic cars were a sight to see. From a McLaren 720s MSO to a McLaren 540 Coupe, the cars were stunning. The community was invited to watch the cars head to the next location of the rally.
Along with creating the memories of a lifetime, those participating in the rally and bystanders were invited to bring a toy to help kick off this year’s Dimmitt Automotive’s Toys for Tots campaign. Between the participants and the members of the community, there was an abundance of toys! The toys were practically overflowing the cars. We are so thankful for those donations; we could not have asked for a better kickoff for this year’s campaign!
The exotic cars filled the streets of Pinellas Park while the police escorted them down Gandy Boulevard to I-275 southbound and over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and I-75 South. One supercar after another heading through the street was a pure joy to watch. It was a sight unlike any other and we hope those who watched it enjoyed.
McLaren 720S Named World Performance Car
The McLaren 720S has added a new title to its impressive and growing list of awards. After previously being named as Road & Track’s 2018 Performance Car of the Year, an AUTOMOBILE All Star, Car and Driver Magazine Editor’s choice, Performance Car of the Year 2018 by the Automotive Video Association and earning a spot on Robb Report’s Best of Best list for 2018, the 720S has now been named “World Performance Car” by the World Car Awards.
The Award was presented recently at the New York International Auto Show. This award is particularly noteworthy in that it is global in nature, with 80 prestigious worldwide judges serving as jurors. There were 15 judges from North America, including those representing Automotive News, Fortune Magazine, Kelley Blue Book and CNET. Judges represent automotive-related media outlets from around the world.
The 720S faced an intense line-up that included the Aston Martin Vantage and the Mercedes AMG 4-door Coupe. To be eligible for the award, vehicles must be produced in volumes of at least 2,000 per year, and must be on sale on at least two continents. The 720S was first introduced at the 2017 Geneva International Car Show. Since then, it has been extensively praised for its performance, crafted luxury and unparalleled driver involvement.
The 720S impresses with a powerful 4.0 liter twin-turbocharged V8 that produces 710 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque. Drivers can be propelled from a standstill to 124 mph in a blistering 7.8 seconds. Get from zero to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. This McLaren has a top speed of 210 mph. Like a world-class wine, this is a supercar designed to savor with each experience.
The McLaren 720 has a stunning mid-engine design, bold intakes, a slightly higher rear stance, and iconic dihedral doors, all which help earn its thoroughbred McLaren pedigree. Carbon fiber Monocell II construction provides a rigid and lightweight cabin that has been proven safe to racing standards. The racing-inspired interior is cozy yet offers surprising head and shoulder room. Driver and passenger are nestled in racing seats, with easy access to an infotainment optionsthat are digitally available on a center console. The gauge cluster provides a wealth of important data on a bright, easy-to-read screen.
Those in search of even more fun and versatility in their driving experience can choose 720S Spider, a convertible that performs as a coupe.
McLaren Automotive CEO Mike Flewitt is quoted as saying “We believe the 720S is a revolutionary step forward for both McLaren, as well as the supercar segment, and to have it recognized in this way by an organization made up of the most esteemed media across the globe is a great honor.”

McLaren 570S Safety
McLaren 570S safety is credited by journalist Sean Evan’s article in Men’s Health Magazine titled “This Car Saved My Life.”
A McLaren 570S Spider fell 70 feet off a California mountain road, and Evans walked away uninjured.
There’s a lot to be impressed about with the McLaren 570S Spider. Its uncompromising styling is magnetic. It offers heart-pounding power and adrenaline producing speed. It delivers coupe-like performance with a retractable hardtop roof.
The numbers are equally impressive. The McLaren 570S Spider has a twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter engine that generates 562 horsepower. It has a top speed in excess of 200 mph and can accelerate from zero to 60 in just about three seconds. It is visually stunning and extremely fast. It is also exceptionally safe.
There are a lot of factors involved in creating a supercar with a focus on safety. Its mid-engine design and low center of gravity make it almost impossible to roll. Carbon brakes can bring the 570S Spider smoothly to a standstill from 60 mph in just about 100 feet. Front aluminum beams absorb the impact of front end crashes and multiple interior airbags help protect occupants. Aluminum A-pillars can withstand about three-times the vehicle’s weight. The 570S Spider has a Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and road-hugging Pirelli PZERO CORSA tires. The key component, however, is one that is a part of every McLaren produced. It is an exceptionally strong yet lightweight carbon fiber tub that serves as the strong, yet lightweight shell of the cockpit. In the McLaren 570S Spider, it is the carbon fiber Monocell II.
McLaren Safety & Monocell II
The safety and resiliency of the McLaren 570S Spider were recently documented in an article in Men’s Health Magazine. Written by automotive journalist Sean Evans and titled “This Car Saved My Life”, the article details how Evans survived a crash off a California mountain road in a McLaren 570S Spider. Traveling at about 70 mph, the car’s driver missed a turn and the car soared some 225 feet out from and 70 feet down the mountain, spinning, twisting and crashing through trees, brush, and dirt. While there was a large debris field, the car was largely intact. Both Evans and the driver were uninjured. Credit is being given to the strength of carbon fiber Monocell II.
The carbon tub was first used in the 1981 MP4-1 F-1 race car. Today, production techniques for the Monocell II create a “cocoon” that withstands up to 50 tons of force in a front end crash. It is estimated that the production of a single Monocell II tub costs about $10,000. In the case of Sean Evans, it was money extremely well invested.
McLaren Racing Safety at the Core
The point is that much is made about the power, speed and performance of McLaren automobiles, including the 570S Spider. Rightly so. But some forget that at its core these are automobiles designed for racing. Every feature and innovation is included to make travels in a McLaren as safe as possible. While the dihedral doors, mid-engine design, and aerodynamic looks may attract you, it is the carbon fiber brakes, Monocell II construction, Pirelli Tires and multiple other features that keep you safe.
Any automobile has the potential to exceed the skill of its driver. It is why McLaren doesn’t create supercars for just anyone. These are automobiles designed for the discriminating and those who appreciate craftsmanship and engineering on a higher level. They are for those who appreciate and respect the power of racing DNA and who want to experience driving at its highest level.

McLaren 570GT – Supercar DNA
McLaren has always challenged beliefs and done things differently. We started racing over 50 years ago and ever since we have been pushing the boundaries of possibility. Good is never good enough, we know the best can always be better. It is a philosophy that has driven us to success in racing, but also in our quest to build the world’s most advanced high-performance supercars. Now this same unique way of thinking has created the revolutionary
McLaren Sports Series. The 570GT is among the first sports cars to be built from supercar DNA, and the first to offer the excitement only a McLaren can deliver.
Bruce McLaren – A Brilliant Legacy
Bruce McLaren was a great driver and a great engineer. His competitive instinct drove him to win, his love of innovation turned him into a pioneering race car designer. At just 22, he became the youngest winner of a Formula 1™ World Championship race but, convinced he could build a better car than the one he was driving, he formed his own McLaren team three years later. Bruce died too young, but his legacy lives in our ethos. As he said
in his autobiography: ‘It would be a waste of life to do nothing with one’s ability, for I feel that life is measured in achievement, not in years alone.
McLaren was born on the track and has become one of the most successful racing teams of all time. As well as winning an incredible 12 Formula 1™ Drivers’ Championships, we are the only manufacturer to have claimed the unofficial Triple Crown of Motorsport, with victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix, and the Indianapolis 500.
Dimmitt Sebring Track Day 2018
Every performance enthusiast wants the chance to let their engine roar. We understand. That’s why we host “Dimmitt’s Day at Sebring,” a racing event for owners of performance vehicles to unleash the raw power of their vehicles.
Sponsored by McLaren of Tampa Bay, a division of Dimmitt Automotive Group, performance enthusiasts were invited from across Florida to meet up at the Sebring International Raceway. Owners of makes like Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren, and Cadillac arrived at the track and prepared for the rare opportunity to really push their vehicles. They weren’t disappointed.
Starting at 8am, drivers enjoyed a light continental breakfast and a demonstration of track rules for those new to the environment. They had a chance to socialize with other enthusiasts and compare notes. Then, the real fun started.
Split into three groups based on driving skill and previous experience, each group drove in half-hour rotations, enjoying 5 rotations each. Performance engines sang as the cars flew past the onlookers.
It’s not often that owners of these high-end vehicles get the chance to see and feel what their engines can do. Tracey Ringstaff, who organized the event, put it this way: “Our clients deserve events that enhance the experience of vehicle ownership. That’s why we continually seek to arrange days like this one.”
Keep an eye out for our next Track Day event, and experience the rush as you let your own vehicle loose on the track. There’s nothing like it.
Dimmitt Automotive Group would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s Dimmitt Sebring Track Day. Please add us on Facebook to stay updated with our latest events.
McLaren 570S – Built to Be Driven
McLaren 570S
When McLaren introduced the 570S at the New York International Auto Show in 2015, it was with the intention of tripling consumer sales within 5 years. This, after all, is a McLaren sports car that is more modestly priced. It was configured so even the most discriminating owner could feel comfortable driving this impressive automobile daily. While the brand has always been focused on power and performance, the 570S adds just a dash more practicality in its design with increased luggage space and interior storage. This provides what McLaren calls more “day-to-day usability and drivability”. The 570S, however, should not be confused as the family driver. The 570S is a world-class, two-seat sports car with McLaren racing DNA through and through. It features dramatic aerodynamic styling, the McLaren trademark dihedral doors, and a teardrop cockpit.
Power and Performance
The rear-mid engine configuration of the includes the throaty, 570S M838T E 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged, V8 engine. Paired with its 7 speed, dual clutch transmission, the 570S generates 563 hp and 443 ft-lb of torque. This combination propels the 570S from 0-62 in a spry 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 204 mph. All of this power is kept under control with a sophisticated suspension and carbon ceramic brakes. This McLaren owes much of its speed to the automaker’s almost obsessive focus on weight minimization including the use of the Carbon Monocell II chassis. The 570S has a dry weight of just 2989 lbs, allowing it to average about 21.2 mpg.
McLaren was born on the track and has become one of the most successful racing teams of all time. As well as winning an incredible 12 Formula 1™ Drivers’ Championships, we are the only manufacturer to have claimed the unofficial Triple Crown of Motorsport, with victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix, and the Indianapolis 500.
The 2019 McLaren Senna
Introducing the 2019 McLaren Senna
Aryton Senna’s lengthy and distinguished racing career was highlighted with three Formula One Championships for McLaren in 1988, 1990 and 1991. Regarded as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all-time he was also frequently recognized by his peers as one of the most influential. Even after his life ended while leading the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994, Senna’s legend has continued to grow. Now, with the introduction of the 2019 McLaren Senna, his competitive spirit lives on.
The 2019 Senna is the start of a new generation of McLaren hypercars dedicated to pushing the limits and designed in recognition of the racing legend. This is a motorcar that has resulted from exceptional competence, fierce dedication, and simple and persistent hard work. It is an automobile that like championships, is hard-earned.
The 2019 Senna, at just 2,850 lbs. is McLaren’s lightest production car since the F1. At its core is the remarkably strong but low weight Monocage III chassis. A carbon fiber shell over the Monocage seems to have been designed by the wind itself. It carefully and artfully moves the air over, around and even through its aerodynamic body.
McLaren’s obsession with weight management and precision engines produce unparalleled power and performance. The Senna’s 4.0 liter, V-8 engine generates 789 horsepower, 79 more than the impressive 720S. With a top speed of 215 mph, the 2019 McLaren Senna can slingshot from a standstill to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds.
Its lightweight design and muscular power plant make downforce a priority and the engineer’s at McLaren have responded. When placed in “Race Mode” the front axle lowers by 1.5 inches and the rear by 1.2 inches. The 2019 Senna’s wings are adjusted hydraulically, continuously increasing downforce and adjusting drag. It can even be used as an air brake when firmly stopping. Twin airfoils under the headlights work in harmony with the wing to maintain optimum axle balance. Larger, wider rear wheels and tires add to the almost menacing appearance. Drivers may need to be reminded that yes, the 2019 McLaren Senna is street legal.
Inside, the traditional instrument cluster tucks away in Race Mode revealing a secondary cluster to improve vision and to minimize distraction. Other than this unique feature, the interior of the Senna is all business, like Aryton himself. Racing inspired controls are straightforward and no-nonsense. Those in search of opulence will have to look elsewhere. This is a hypercar on a mission. It is built to perform.
The 2019 McLaren Senna is one of a kind. A unique piece of aerodynamic artwork. It is designed for a select few with an unrelenting quest for excellence. Listen closely to hear if it might be speaking to you.
McLaren 675LT Spider
Boundless Exhilaration
Limited in production, McLaren’s Super Series 675LT Spider brings boundless energy to only the second McLaren to ever wear the LT badge. The world demanded it and McLaren delivered it in 2016 with the fastest open-top McLaren in history. The McLaren 675LT Spider’s retractable folding hardtop opens up a new world of possibilities and thrills for the select few fortunate enough to secure one.
When Less is More
When it comes to minimizing weight, less is more with the McLaren 675 LT Spider, starting with the minimal mass chassis using McLaren’s light carbon MonoCell construction. Every piece, every part is optimized for efficiency and every curve has a purpose. Even with tractable roof system, the total weight of this convertible is a mere 88 lbs. heavier than the Coupe, yet 220 lbs. lighter than the 650S. Downforce has been increased by 40%, bonding driver and car to the road for an unparalleled driving experience. This is a road-hugging, thrilling ride, enhanced by the open cockpit.
Indulgent Power and Performance
At the heart of the McLaren 675LT Spider, is an upgraded 3.8-liter twin turbo V8 engine that is deserving of the LT “Longtail” name. The engine is capable of producing 666 hp with 516 lb-ft of torque. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a dual-clutch, seven-speed Graziano gearbox.
When motivated, the 675LT Spider will accelerate from 0-62 mph in a blistering 2.9 seconds, equal to the Coupe. Launching from zero to 124 mph can be accomplished in a mere 8.1 seconds. Not for the timid, the Spider has a top speed of 203 mph. More efficient turbochargers, re-engineered cylinder heads and exhaust manifolds, a fuel pump that is faster-flowing and a new camshaft with lightweight connecting rods all contribute to the phenomenal performance of this sought-after supercar.
Soar with Advanced Aerodynamics
Not only has every ounce of the 675LT Spider been optimized but each aspect of its aerodynamics have been engineered for enhanced performance. Like its Coupe sibling, the Spider has a prominent front bumper. This bumper, along with a magnified splitter and end plates, increase downforce at the front end. The rear of the Spider is kept firmly planted with a ‘Longtail’ Airbrake, about 50% larger than that of the 650S. Crafted from carbon fiber, it has aggressive side intakes, side skirts, a front underbody, and the rear bumper and diffuser which all contribute to the advanced wind management aspects of the 675LT Spider. Lightweight carbon brakes and the P Zero™ Trofeo R tires help keep the 675 LT Spider under control whether it is in normal, sport or track driving mode.
Inside, little comforts like a suede-covered steering wheel and race-inspired seating set the tone. A straight-forward, almost analog style dashboard puts required data front and center to the driver with an infotainment screen in the center of the cockpit. The 675LT Spider is a superb blend of performance, power, and aerodynamic styling combined with a heavy dose of rarity that makes this McLaren so desirable.
