  • McLaren Artura Test Drive Review. Come along for this POV drive in the new 2024 McLaren Artura hybrid supercar. The McLaren Artura is powered by a twin turbo 120 degree V6 coupled with a hybrid electric assist motor for torque fill and vectoring between the rear wheels. Power is 671bhp and 531 ftlb coupled with RWD through an 8 speed Dual Clutch Gearbox. The car uses conventional suspension architecture with sway bars and adaptive dampeners, hydraulic razor sharp steering, CCB braking which is also hydraulic and a carbon fiber tub and sub-structures coupled with super formed aluminum panels and forged underpinnings. The car is super light at 3000 lbs, razor sharp and an athletic engaging hybrid supercar. Prices start around $230,000 and this cars athleticism blows away cars such as the Maserati MC20 and many cars from Ferrari and Porsche which not only cost more but lack some of the sharpness and feel. Go test drive one today you will be sold. Unlike some of the older cars McLaren has put out this car has an engaging feel that that does not feel synthesized with drivers aids to save your ass. It has a chassis that makes you want to push it harder and harder while the chassis will slip and bite back which adds to connection between the driver and machine. Truly a spectacular hybrid supercar experience that impressed me in every category of a performance car. All I can say is I now want one. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more content.

    What's this guys name, sounds so smart and i enjoyed his commentary. He knows his stuff.. I've always been a big fan of Mclaren becuase their cars are performance focused and most importantly LIGHT! , not grand tourers , no ipad screeens, just track weapons.

    One missing thing: the Artura was left in "Track Mode" the entire time on the road. I wish you would have toggled other "drive modes" to show the full range of differences between the different drive modes.

    He keeps saying the QC is due to media sensationalism and pre production cars but the forums and countless previous owners tell a different story. Mclaren QC is definitely an issue, but I hope they solve it because they make some incredible cars. I actually think the Giulia steering reminds me of the Mclaren, thinner wheel and incredible response from center, very fast steering rack. Obviously the Mclaren is on another level but the Giulia has incredible steering for the price point, much better than the artificially heavy BMW steering with ridicously thick steering wheels

      the Artura is an incredible machine but after learning more about the EV and Hybrid stuff going into cars I can not see owning any Hybrid Supercar past 3 years for that fact. Maybe do a short term lease but EV themselves are tanking in value and this may trickle down to these Hybrid Supercars. This is what also has been on the fence of getting a Mclaren Artura. I learned from a friend that his friends Ferrari 296 which is a Hybid has a failed electric motor and the labor to fix is over 200 hours to tear the entire drivetrain out of the car supposedly, can you imagine if you had to pay for that repair bill outside of warranty you would end up scraping the car.
