I get behind the wheel of the #McLaren #Artura, the latest supercar from @McLarenAutomotiveTV , equipped with a V6 #Hybrid powertrain.
I drive the car 500 miles to Wales and back in some awful British weather.

All these cars should have a “5 minutes to home” button where they just recharge their batteries. it’ hassle free and it would always allow you to leave home on a full charge.
Problem is that current PHEVs tend to do exactly the opposite: all my PHEVs, when driving with navigation on, use the hybrid system in a way that my battery is empty when I arrive at he destination. The idea is that they assume that anywhere you're going there's a charger (especially at home), and it's best to maximise your electricity use and minimise combustion engine use. That's why when I did a round trip somewhere I always had to program the navigation with the full round trip meaning I punch in both the destination and the trip back home. I had to learn how to program multi-leg journeys into the nav.
@@pistonburner6448 exactly. That’s why we really need a button like that. You press it, it overrides everything, and you’re sure that when you arrive, the batteries will be full.
@@pklimbic Yup, or more (physical knob!) controls to tell the system what you want it to do! A knob each to adjust:
-How much you want the hybrid system to give a boost during spirited driving.
-A separate knob to select how much electric motor use you want the computer to work in when cruising normally (to adjust the rate at which the charge drops overall during a journey, instead of having to use the nav to let the car control it).
-Rate of recuperation. This is so we can fill up the battery when we want, at the rate we need. It's so much less efficient to "emergency-fill" the battery very quickly using the engine and more efficient to slowly fill it up with recuperation alone, so it makes sense to be able to choose the rate according to your situation.
-A separate engine preparation button to tell it to start up and begin heating up the engine.
-A separate button to use the engine to heat up the car and battery (they really should be able to use the engine heat to keep the battery up to temp, not waste electricity for that), with minimal consumption. This is so that in cold weather you can avoid using up all of your battery to heat up the cabin with the very inefficient electric heater. Just maximise the whole warmup using the more efficient combustion heat.
Actually I'd suggest a that if the button isn't clicked off the computer would keep using the engine heat optimally to keep the car heated up, starting it up periodically when necessary even when in electric mode. Electric heating just drains the battery.
@@pklimbic Actually come to think of it one of my previous PHEVs had a "hold charge" function which ensured that it kept the battery at its current level. I don't remember if it was the BMW or Mercedes. I'm pretty sure it was the Mercedes.
evs are cool if ur mentally ill and cant figure out the NWO global depop plan
Sounds like the car has a lot going for it. Especially that confidence and playfulness that one might not get from a 296. Even though it's more expensive than you expected it's a very attractive proposition at this price point. Can't wait for Porsche's take on a hybrid V6 sport/supercar!
296 is as good n better for sure . Porsche yes hopefully have a midship model above the 911 range .
I'm watching this video in July 2024 because I just saw a 2023 Artura TechLux for sale for $180K(US), the original MSRP was $275K.
great video like always!
McLaren doing McLaren things. Ferrari are absolutely nailing the hybrid technology complicated most probably but so clever in the Ferrari it makes sense and is seamless. I always go with when they work brilliant but odds of it breaking down high and getting them to fix it a pain. Always love the look.
Still the best Sam...
Been watching you since you've had 50k, and the way you present yourself now compared to back then is incredible really an outstanding work of entertaining us.
- You've added a lot of good character to yourself which is nice to watch atleast from a viewers perspective.
He also added a little character into his wife.
@@pistonburner6448 heyooo!
@@pistonburner6448 LOL
A well deserved a huge compliment that Mclaren recognize just how influential opinions and ownership experiences are from people like yourself in the automotive world. I truly hope Mclaren can move forwards with reliability.
Fun review but why isn't it mentioned its the exact same electric motor as in Ferrari 296?
One day off a week from work being a mechanic, being able to wake up and enjoy my favorite automotive channel as well as a warm cup of coffee always makes my morning. Thank you and love your videos form the USA
Thank you for keeping our prides and joys on the road sir!!
@@uzzisa1745 for the love of cars right 😃
That over-the-shoulder camera angle while enjoying some proper roads is great 😃
Really happy to hear the positive praise for the car. Hopefully McLaren have turned a corner for the better now. It doesn't feel 2 years too late for me.
I would love to see what Tony thinks of the car once he has a chance to drive it.
Happy to hear you had a great experience and loved the car. Loved your video.
I have a 600LT Spider that’s an absolute treat to drive. These cars are amazing. Too bad the prior reputation turns people off. They are missing a truly special brand.
On the reliability front, I see (in the US) the Artura comes with a 5 year 45000 mile warranty and 6 years on the battery. The must feel quite confident they have it sorted out!
Always fun watching the video after hearing about it in the podcast.
I actually saw 3 Arturas Thursday or Friday when i was driving home from work in Austria. They are beautiful cars
Sam - the one thing that's not discussed as often as it should is: how much of a loss it would be for the world of motoring were mclaren to go out of business.
this is a small, independent manufacturer of carbon-tubbed, dihedral-doored, mid-engined supercars with hydraulic steering, that makes cars that can be purchased by anyone with the requisite cash - unlike the elitists at ferrari, who by the way use aluminum frames and electric steering.
supporting mclaren is akin to being a fan of a smaller indie band and not, say, u2. both are sorely needed! excellent review.
They should make an SUV like Porsche did then pour their profit back into their supercars.
McLaren _could_ program the engine to start automatically when the battery reaches 10% or so. That would help with battery life, and could be done via an update. I gotta say, it looks the goods! Better than the 296, imo.
It became kind of a tradition for me to drink my sunday espresso while watching Sam's vids. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely love the spec and the design. Another brilliant video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can never understand why your subscription numbers increase so slowly or are so low compared to other channels. Your videos are so well done and the content is always great. Keep up the great work
It's kind of mind-blowing that an entry-level McLaren that everyone calls the baby McLaren still costs almost 300K euros. That was big boy supercar money not that while ago. Even the new Aventador is a half-a-million euro car. Crazy where prices have gone. Good car the Artura is tough.
You're only looking at one side of the equation though. Look at the performance even a baby McLaren is offering. Same for the 1000 bhp Aventador. It's just how the industry works I guess. The m3 more like an m5 now with the m2 almost becoming the m3
It was good to mention the nsx. The infotainment might look a bit old, but of course it works fine. It's interesting how different the 3 hybrid v6 supercars are. Manic inanity from the 296, good all rounder from the artura, and torque vectoring reliable honda. All great options.
Would never buy Artura instead of a Turbo S
im sure everyone is saying the same but your videos are so good in terms of reviews.....who else gets up that early to just go and USE a press car and do it properly and also make a superb video to watch also. Keep going sam your smashing it
The thing I am most impressed with is the weight. Mclaren has made a hybrid supercar that weighs around 3300 pounds (1496 kg) which might make it the lightest hybrid supercar (not counting the holy trinity or other hypercars). And unlike Ferrari, Mclaren qoutes accurate curb weights.
Good one Sam! Editing is really sharp, you have come such a long way overall and that is awe-inspiring for sure. Hope MCL take your feedback to heart. Maybe
Tony, Phil and you can do a roadtrip this year with McLarens to revisit Ireland for instance. Hope the factory does well with the Artura. As always, thanks 👍😊
Btw, I heard myself say, here we have 'a pantograph wiper moment' so thank you HubNut.
All you need is a button as found in BMW hybrids that maintains/recharges your battery to a set level that you decide just incase you need electric ⚡ for the last leg of your journey into a emission free journey. It's thirsty work for the engine, but on a motorway it's easy and not inner city, so better than nout!
How did the regen go on the twisties then? What did it go up to, percentage wise? Will need a new exhaust once you get one, lol
If I remember these have no braking type regen, their biggest floor imo.
Beware early adopters, a wise man would wait 12-18months to see how the reliability really is and to give McLaren time to iron out all the wrinkles.
Great Editing My Bro, Watching And Sending Love From Bangladesh
If Ferrari can make a Hybrid V6 sound great. Why can't McLaren🤔🤔
It’s not a flat plane crank, which sound great, but actually are not as good engineering wise.
Stopped watching STG ages ago when he sold out and turned into a paid for shill. Thought I’d watch this as like the artura, not bad for STG.
I was really hoping for a positive review of this car. Im on the edge of ordering one for all the reasons you stated. Thank you Sam!
So Sam how does this car compare to the Emira you drove…. As a driving experience, ignore material quality and power ..
This or MC20 Sam?
Aren’t you able, even in comfort mode, so far I know, to control the battery charge level using the small left stick at the steering wheel?! If I remember right it did work for me
Wish they can make it reliable. That's all matter to sell this car.
My SLIGHT issue with this car.... Is that when you go a bit crazy on the spec, you can end up in Mclaren 720S price bracket.
Sam was using the damp roads to get in some cheeky sliding time.
You should come up to ilkley in Yorkshire. There’s some great roads up here
Cant beat God's Own👍👍
Sounds like they've not properly resolved the integration of battery and ICE. To not automatically start the ICE when the battery is nearlt depleted, I would have thought was potentially dangerous but also more likely to cause damage to the batteries.
No damage, the systems don't actually let the battery ever drain. When a hybrid slows down it's because the computer is doing it. There's always plenty of buffer.
@@pistonburner6448 I realise that but, constant amounts of excessive drain before the engine kicks in will degrade that batteries at a higher rate, and reduce their life, hence why I said "damage". I know that completely draining lithium batteries kills them and you always have a buffer. I still think they haven't properly resolved the link between battery and ICE.
@@alunjones2550 There is no more drain, no higher drain rate than in any other situation or on any other hybrid.
Maybe it could warn inattentive drivers beforehand, but I don't see this configuration to be bad. It just gives the driver the options to do what he wants without the computer automatically intervening. People who know how the system works will know how to use it and not be surprised by that situation.
Best looking McClaren yet! I can't believe it took this long for McClaren to install an LSD. I'd still buy the Turbo S for reliability and repeatability! But I think Mclaren is getting there...
Sam, how often does your wife accompany you on these wonderful road trips ? My wife loves road trips.
Always a genuine reviewer of cars I think Sam represents, like he said he gave this almost everything and it didn't put a foot wrong, Go Mclaren 👍 from STG.
Very good video I like these reviews very honest and a lot of effort has gone into shooting. Love it! I really like the McLaren also! Great car.
Great vid as usual Sam! I actually started this thinking, not a car I am interested in, but you certainly laid lots of praise on it. The concern is always reliability, expensive warranties and huge depreciation. One to watch. The consideration though is surely a 296GTB on finance would be a stronger buy and with its warranty and free servicing it win in the end. One for Tony on the next Podcast!
would be good to get Mclaren's response to your findings
While i love the outside styling, performance etc - The interiors on McLarens need to come up to Ferrari or Porsche beauty
Does anyone know the name of the track at 7.32?
Like love everything about mclaren, but im 6ft8 soooooo yeah. Ferrari 599 for me
Great video and looks like you stopped at Craven Arms for fuel and Ludlow is a great place too (not technically Wales though for those bits ;) ). The Artura looks to be a fantastic machine, really nicely presented too. Keep up the great work.
Just FYI Sam the word “Binnacle” has been around for hundreds of years ( originally a housing for a ships compass😂) so McLaren can’t claim that one , great vid as always .
McLaren are improving and will continue to get better. Meanwhile Porsche are on the reverse path and increasing the cost of their cars plus making them bigger and heavier. The Porsche GT cars are still great but the non GT cars are getting are getting heavier. Turbo S is 400-500lbs heavier than Artura and more expensive
This was a great video! Was left wondering how the battery charged after thrashing it through those twisty roads.
Haven't seen an Artura yet, but up here in Idaho McLarens are very rare. I've only seen one 570S.
I believe there's a lot more McLarens in places like Idaescort and Idacourtesan because they are more high income areas.
Anyone get the coffee lads instagram?
you didn't really end about the ev recharging to see if it got better after learning how it works. Also, after BTG saying driving in first gear to charge. Did it get better or closer to the Ferrari?
So why isnt the battery always charging when the engine is runing!?
To me thats seems like how it should be.
Didn’t watch this when it came out. Two things:
You’ll find yourself feeling silly when you watch the clip complaining about the battery with no charge AS YOU SHOW THE SCREEN THAT SAYS PULL THE STALK FOR MAXIMUM CHARGE. If you would have pulled the stalk, you get maximum charge in comfort.
Yes, worries about reliability, but you didn’t check to see they support the car with a FIVE YEAR warranty. Unprecedented in super car land. As long as they survive.
I have to say, I always appreciate the visual qualify of your videos. Watching not only in 4k but also actual quality 4k is very nice. It makes the car porn that much better.
❤ the content and your site is great!!! Have you ever tried to review the C8 Corvette!? Just saying!!! Great job from the U. S.!!!!! CRACKON!!!!
I rarely comment on these videos but i find the filmography remarkable -assuming you do everything yourself-. The soundtrack is pleasant, relaxing actually. I simply had a lovely time watching this review. As to the car? McL have a huge effort to make to disprove their reputation. £190k plus options? You’d have to be barking mad.
What a gratuitously unnecessary petty intro…just so negative, and repeating the bleating of the past..for the umpteenth time..Yaaaaawn..and then just showing off his ignorance again…poor little Ferrari Fan boy….living to knock Aston and McLaren….well luckily Ferrari’s F1 team are ……
@5:27 all I can hear is tony laughing when sam talks about losing speed on the motorway
All these hybrid supercars are shite. The supercar experience is not the same with the added weight and reduced noise. Lamborghini have it right with the Tecnica, no need for all this fancy technology.
Tecnica will become a classic as last proper Supercar and lambos last N/a V10. It will be Lamborghinis equivalent to 458/speciale
In 1976 38% of the worlds electricity was generated by coal, in 2019 it was 37%. Electric cars are not the future. There simply isn’t enough clean electricity for it make sense.
what is a "cold start procedure"? An ICE engine should, under normal circumstances, receive a load immediately (load not high revs) in order to warm up quickly which is why it is also always recommended to drive off straight a way from cold with any ice powered car. What is this "procedure" with McLarens then?
For the Son of God will soon come in his Father's Glory, riding on the clouds to redeem the precious fruit of the earth. For Jesus is he, the King of Kings and Lord of lords. Read the KJV and pray for wisdom. Read Hebrews 11:1&6

did this (English)man just say "be like the Americans and say that they're innocent until proven guilty"? Presumption of innocence has existed in *English* Common Law from the earliest of times.
Think it's the best looking McLaren they've done but it sounds naff. It's got the same problem at the MC20. Great looking but the noise of the engine doesn't inspire that spine tingle you should be getting from a super sports / super car. Too expensive too for what they are tbh. Ferrari have managed it with the 296, that sounds great for a V6. I know why we're missing the noise these days but damn, the days of the Alfa V6, the Maserati Gran Turismo, the earlier Ferrari V8's & V12's, Audi / Lambo V10's, Aston V8's & V12's... etc etc are all sorely missed in the new machinery. Also think the MC20 (& this too probably) is way too expensive but something about the way it looks would probably pip the decision against the Artura... I think... If I was in that financial position haha.
you're driving a McLaren, why the F would yoiu ever go near appliance mode? who cares about waking up the neighbours or not? who cares about driving appliance mode in the city.....wake up
Battery, comfort and sport?
Really there should be an "ECO" mode where it decides the best settings so get the maximum amount of mpg/range. It may be a sports car, but it could really be refined...
I think there's a menu option to quickly recharge the EV battery using the ICE while driving.
looks great - no denying it..... but .... and with mclaren thers always a BUT......
its a McLaren so we all know, there will always be issues. Always.
These guys havnt been able to get their normal cars worked out.... no way they will have worked out how to incorporate the electric systems.
its a shame, because they do look great !
Welcome to inflation . This is exactly what England needs : an over engineered 2 seater for a quarter of a million bucks , that is exactly what the average jobless family father is dreaming of ❤️👀
"Not as straightforward as the Ferrari", but then you didn't appear to have much, if any, understanding of how this system was meant to work to begin with!! Not a good place to make judgements from, or even comparisons!
The McLaren interiors are always boring though. Look at the competitions interiors - Lambo, Ferrari, Pagani, Bentley, Aston Martin - all a lot more, eh, cool really.
god only knows how Sam forgot to mention that the instrument cluster is mounted on the steering column so when you adjust your driving position you always have the complete view of it all the rest of the video is great as usual tho! I quite like this Artura, I've sat in it more than a year ago for the first time (a static expo one) and it felt good from the get-go.
even all electric mode should pop into comfort when the battery runs out, thats a simple s/w thing they should have thought of.....like every one else has ! And, as with my hybrid merc, i would say you need min 20% to ensure any of the sport modes get battery assist, you'll use that up in no time flat out
NOBODY gets YOU more EXCITED when HE'S excited ABOUT a CAR than SAM!!!
Friend of mine who is a McLaren owner was invited out to test drive these and I went with him. In my opinion this car is kind of a bust compared to the other models. No way to slice it the 6 cylinder is a downgrade from the V8 models. Plus some of the interior parts are questionable like the drive mode. Can`t believe someone would buy this over a V8 model.
man you are overthinking it. you messed up and depleted the battery and i'm sorry to say so, but trying to charge your battery by doing hard accelerations is stupid as fuck and i dont think thats what they meat by overrun. just doesnt make any sense and it would only compromise your 0-62mph. so my guess is that overrun is just going fast and then regen braking after releasing throttle pedal so just some smooth driving no?
How needs mclaren problems, lotus or ferrari price when you can have honda nsx reliability ? 🤷♂️
Superb it’s the 675LT....much more exclusive and beautiful
Seven minutes in and all I have learnt is you are reviewing a car you know nothing about. All issues encountered with the battery are operator error. How can you give creditable reviews on something you know so little about? Sorry, nothing I have seen makes me want to give you 16 more minutes to finish the video if you are not prepared to invest 16 minutes to understanding how to use the vehicle.
Cool,...
Did I pass you early morning in Aberdyfi?.... it was definitely a Mc ?
This Recast BS is a joke to your long term viewers. Bring back ATCF on UA-cam.
Quite a boring release from McLaren considering it is their "next generation"
It doesn’t look much different to Sams first McLaren
They called back almost all the Arturas in the world because the burning problem didn’t they😅
Think you mean the American approach is Guilty until proven Innocent, not Innocent until proven Guilty..
"Id take this instead of 911TS everyday of the week". Yeah I call BS since you didn't go and swap your GT3 for it
Wow side profile looks very similar to the Lotus Emira! Would love to see them side by side.
Great video alhough slightly disappointed with your parking effort in Ludlow 😅
If I was cycling on those roads I would live in real fear of you coming up screaming behind me. You would be in serious grief if you came round one of those corners you were drifting sideways around and encountered a large animal or a group of cyclists.
give me a manual, petrol engine with no stupid electronics.....real drivers car and less potential for problems
my 570s was the worst car I've ever owned. not because it wasn't great it was because it never ever worked. it was a nightmare.
I almost had forgotten about this brand.
But it's probably built as well as a Turkish towerblock
Hybrid sports car is useless in my opinion but you did a nice review... Thanks for that.
I was listening your podcast saying this is the best daily driver, lets not forget mclarens reliability. u cant daily drive a car that wont start in the morning
