    The styling is so clean - I know neither company would appreciate the comparison…but to my eyes this is the modern Ferrari 308. Perfect.
    Great vid, thanks.

    A fantastic looking supercar and you don't need to win the lottery to buy one! There are two up for sale at £200,000 at the moment. Much cheaper than a Ferrari 296 GTB!!

      I agree. But as a Ferrari fan, I like how McLaren added just about everything I love about supercars, including exotic doors.

    My good friend ordered an Artura. Delivery was delayed by two weeks while they sorted out software issues. So they gave him a courtesy Artura. That broke the day after he received it. It took two McLaren technicians most of the day to get it up and running so they could take it away. When my mates one finally arrived it was taken away within the first month with the following issues (copied from the message he sent me):
    Hybrid System Failure.
    Windscreen needs replacement due to poor fitment.
    12v battery dead.
    Windows don’t shut fully.
    DAB has no reception.
    Bluetooth doesn’t work properly
    Fuel filler overflow doesn’t work properly.
    Infotainment doesn’t always come on so can't use sat nav or air con.
    Fuel gauge range reading over 600 miles.
    He regrets getting it.

    Having worked bloody hard to be able to afford any number of cars, its disappointing to hear that McLaren are patchy in quality with a GBP 200,000 product. Can't decide what i want but having taken out an Emira for a test blast i was really impressed with how it ate B class roads.

    Depreciation will be the main problem…I’ve got a 2020 911 Carrera S probably only lost £25k in 42months of owning..in my opinion McLaren needed to get the Artura absolutely perfect before launch…& from everything you hear I’m afraid that is not the case…I’m sure this is highlighted more because of previous issues but once you lose your reputation it’s hard to get it back..

    Soz, but hybrid and supercar should not be combined in the same sentence. Weight is an absolute killer and whilst McLaren have done a great job trying to keep it down compared to their competitors its still way heavier than their previous ICE vehicles. It also sounds PANTS. Give me a N/A V10 every day especially in Lambo guise

      Doesn’t handle, ride, or steer anything as good as this Mclaren. Does it sound incredible? Yes, but it’s a decade old chassis so enjoy that sound …..it’s the only thing it’s got in terms of driving enjoyment that’s superior to the Artura

      Doesn't handle better, isn't as livable and the McLaren easily has the better brakes. Sure I'd love the NA V10, my lord does it sound so good but there is 0% for me to pick a car that handles worse. Not to mention, the hydraulic steering on the Artura is a huge bonus.

    They rushed this car, looks exquisite in proper colours. Mclaren just have to be patient with their production processes and work on quality. Because their cars from a chassis, steering and tech just work better than most. I dont think the 296 had glitches and built quality issue even if its minor, these are 200 K cars.

    UA-cam influencers talk the biggest load of crap. "I've been to the gym, the football match, a meal and a country road". Yes you have and, if this car were yours, either splashed out over £190,000 0r huge monthly payments for the privilege of doing so. Nothing a £20,000 to £40,000 could not do on UK 70 mph roads. No wonder people get themselves so much into debt.

Ive owned tens of cars but how they treat their customers is abysmal. Will try Mclaren service in Prague next time and hopefully my experience will improve..
