As a long-time Corvette hater, the better entry-level supercar is the Corvette Eray at half the price in USD or even the Z06 for the visceral thrill of a supercar. What GM has done with the C8 is impressive; I used to consider corvettes to be the midlife crisis mobile, but now they are actual performance supercars for half the price. Almost makes it worth the GM bailout...almost...
Yeah I have found myself recently struggling to understand why someone would pay 100,000 more for a car when the c8 corvette looks great and drives great.
Needs a P1 style spoiler or something IMO. Entry price point isn't bad, but I think if they had gone a bit cheaper they really could have captured some of that 911 market as a well equipped 911 GTS is still much cheaper and a 911 Turbo has a cheaper base also.
More nonsense from another non-McLaren owner lol. I've launched my 11 year old 12c 100s of times, raced it at 1/4 tracks, beat on it for hours on Rallies, with zero engine or trans issues. Sitting at 21,000 original miles on the original motor and trans. My only failure was a $500 APMU hydraulic pump which is rare, less than 20 have failed.@@Cocky.Rooster
This thing is almost perfect. I wouldn't mind a world where all supercars were PHEVs and had at least a 200hp electric motor with 40 miles of range. Like they said, the electric motor fills out the torque curve nicely.
Great review guys. I'm watching this 11 months later. The 2025 model will have 691 bhp, but you can have your dealer remap your 2024 to get the same 691 bhp.
I think Jacob was speaking about the precision of the steering (ratio, etc), while the other guy was speaking to the look/feel of physical steering wheel and paddles. Reminds when Jacob spoke about sound of V8s last year and the other guy preferred sound of V6s. HaHa
Heading into cliche corner in cold tires I didn’t know how precise the steering was. Hadn’t gone through it yet at that moment 🤷🏼♂️ just making stuff up as I go ☺️
A bit off topic but a friend has a Novitec "Tall Driver" conversion and exhaust on his Ferrari 360. It's a new interior/seats/dash/steering wheel so a very tall driver will fit. Unlike those with stock interior his still looks new. And his exhaust manifold hasn't cracked and nothing has rotted out. Very very high quality. Much better than stock.
@@nucleargrizzly1776I need to learn more about that. I’m 6’6 (in no position to buy a Supercar anytime soon lol) but it’s been a fear that eventually I won’t fit in the car I want
@@MatthewRindahl Haven't tried them all. So far I fit in 911's and Aventador's. Haven't tried the new Corvette or Cayman's. Didn't fit in the previous generations. You've got to try them out yourself. I fit comfortably in my tiny '73 911. Huracan's and R8's are a no go.
I am glad to see McLaren start coming back with this Artura :') I used to love McLaren like right up until the Speedtail and the Sabre, this feels like the McLaren I love has finally come back :') ❤️
I always loved the old corvettes my dad had a yellow corvette from the 80s and my cats name was corvette. Scary fast cars but there beautiful looking. You filming this on a race track in Canada 🇨🇦?
Other than the muted exahust I think the V6 sounds better than the V8, and the intake sounds closer to a V12. I don't mid the quiteness as much as the muted timber.
Thanks for the review. As a current McLaren 570GT owner, this would be my future upgrade after the first owners take the depreciation hit and they sort out the reliability bugs. I also own a modified BMW i8, so this car is up my alley and in my future. It’s hard to ditch a twin turbo V8 for a V6, but the hybrid’s instant torque more than makes up for it. I just wish it looked as good as the 570 and not so much like a Lotus Emira which I think looks a little bit nicer.
This is a much more cohesive design than the 570 in my opinion, granted I am a 570 fan as that was my first “exotic” car back in 2016 when they came out
@@jameswillard1 Not an upgrade in looks in my opinion. I have the GT and it looks like a baby P1 to me. Everything else, I agree with. You can really tune the M838T for big power but I’m sure M-Engineering will have a hell of a tune for this with down pipes and upgraded turbos in 5 years when I get into one.
Is there a massive difference between your 570GT and an S? I’ve never been too knowledgeable about McLaren models. The only ones I think I recognize on the street are the 570 & 720.
Are these on sale now? It’s been a long time coming ! I know they had serious quality issues beyond McLarens usual woes cars were catching fire. Nice to see something else powertrain wise other than the V8 TT. I wish they’d cool it on the variants and special models though! It gets very confusing.
Yea, they're on sale now. The issues you speak were fixed. McLaren performed a "hold" on all sales during this past summer. All Arturas impacted were actually sent back to the UK and they were completely rebuilt with NEW VIN numbers. No other car maker would ever do this. They probably lost a ton of revenue due to this but brand image is worth more and they outdid themselves. We got ours in October and absolutely loving it. This was after a 2 year wait. You can go to a dealers to buy one but it will most likely be one that was leased and returned (rich people do this ALL the time) or someone ordered one but decided not to take it (probably because they had to wait so long).
Time to do a redo review with the 2025MY. Just traded in the 2023MY for the 2025MY Spider and regardless if it's a spider or coupe, its a VERY different car. It's mechanically better in every single way.
Seam u have good view when sitting there ,to the back, sides and front, you have good light intake from outside. Much better this part compared to the the Maserati MC20. But the screen in middle is TOO low..thta is dangerous when you driving.
Man , I remember when Yuri was so down about the 1st Atlas review and he was like “it’s a three row SUV” but you could tell he didn’t want to be there and Jakub carried that video. Anyway Yuri you need this energy for all your videos my man.
Having driven a 570s - the artura looks amazing and I already know drives amazing and compared to Ferrari is better value and compared to mc20 drives better. In the UK the corvette is not good value sadly
great video great car but kinda bs that it has green plate tbh... 20km of electric range is almost nothing... feel like Ontario really need to revisit the green plate eligibility to have at least 50km electric range tbh... that frunk is pretty impressive though 👍
Can you guys do a video on straight pipes number one recommended or top three recommended cars for straight pipe, approved infotainment/navigation automobiles??
I just realized how dumb a question I asked, considering Yuri is the infotainment perfectionist guy and he drives a CX5 which means he picked that car revolving around having the best infotainment.
Unless you are just looking for the brand name, I think I would just get a Lotus Emira for half the price. It may not be quite as fast, but looks pretty much the same and is more performance than the average person would ever use.
Better looking then most Mclarens IMO , some good angles anyway , wild and understated in a great way , no butress and its ugly . I like the simple and spartan interior . Dont hate the sound besides the drone . If it actually works well / reliable and you can pay that much I can understand it , its nice without being try hard and loud figuratively and litterally , i spent a lot of time on PWCs so maybe thats why i dont hate it as much as I should , I like E-ray for value and use but the sound is a bit much . If this thing actually worked like a watch I can see it as a fun commuter and daily driver even if not the only car ,the deep frunk opens up useability . Its scary that its considered not a lot of money . But its tasteful and the RWD gives it some danger offset by traction control .Everything is soo fast now I feel like power and acceleration have lost meaning , its a nice balamce and semi low key but ultimately overkill and thats good , if its put together well .I wish somebody would make something miata scale / weight in this vein with 200 Hp you could just flog that didnt cost a ton , but no profit in that .
Genuine question: when y’all get cars from dealers, are they brand new with very little miles and to be sold to a customer, or are these usually driven by employees as a dealer loaner? I imagine that multiple launches on a car that only has a few miles on it isn’t great for break-in.

Sweet! Another Supercar review. This McLaren is a nice Exotic Hybrid! It looks wicked flying down the road. Thanks for the review.
My Artura is amazing. Had the car for 2 months now with no issues
I am planning on buying one if you don't mind how much did you pay and can we get a spoiler added to the convertible
No problems? A recent reputation for problems and reliability issues of recent models has been scaring me off.
You guys should do a comparison for the mc20, artura, and nsx type s. Love this car as well, great video
Great review guys. I'm watching this 11 months later. The 2025 model will have 691 bhp, but you can have your dealer remap your 2024 to get the same 691 bhp.
I’m with Jakub on this one, I’d have this over the MC20. Granted I haven’t driven either… yet lol.
Gotta make it happen now 😤
Just drive with your imagination through us
I have the Artura and did consider the MC20. Artura all the way
man a mclaren over any stupid Maserati

At least this thing looks a bit different from the majority of their cars. I like it.
Ain't that the truth!
Perfect from all angles and Novitec can fix the quiet exhaust.
Also they should do quality testing before it leaves the factory, not after..

Thank you for talking about the rear. McLaren could easily make that one middle line color matched.

Interesting! Looks like there’s decent room in this too. Could it be a good supercar option for tall drivers?
I had no issues
thing is amazing.. lines are incredible.. I love that it doesn't have any over the top spoilers
I think it's the nicest looking McLaren to date... Besides the P1. 👍🏻👍🏻
I've been waiting on this review! Waited 2 years for ours
Wow Gorgeous supercar
3:36 that man just slappin the button lmao
Honestly id love to see it in blue. But im still sold, i kinda prefer the E-Ray tho
I am glad to see McLaren start coming back with this Artura :') I used to love McLaren like right up until the Speedtail and the Sabre, this feels like the McLaren I love has finally come back :') ❤️
Finally come back from no considerable leave whatsoever?
this is about to be competition for the next base model 911 hybrid
Hahaha
Glad they're fixing the headlight design again! That looks so much better than the 720 line.

Riccardo may be out of Mclaren but they team gifted with talented drivers like Lando and Piastri. Best driver lineup in current F1 team 😊

Missed opportunity with Octane (but hybrid) October
I love the looks of it, but still the vette is so appealing in performance vs cost. Although both in about 2-4 years will truly be “affordable”.
Future repair bills on a hybrid McLaren will be far from "affordable."
Keep in mind corvettes doesn’t have carbon fiber (body) surrounding which can cost beyond $100K this is why you can’t compare corvettes to Supercars
Time to do a redo review with the 2025MY. Just traded in the 2023MY for the 2025MY Spider and regardless if it's a spider or coupe, its a VERY different car. It's mechanically better in every single way.

i like its more understated shape
I bet an aftermarket titanium exhaust would improve the exhaust note
