Would you take this or a Ferrari 296 GTS?

[@aviator-kn8zq]

A bargain compared to the Ferrari and if you can ignore the Italian allure , then this is it. V6's sound great too with an exhaust.

[@chinuonchaitanya8340]

this. I mean. Doors go up man.

[@SETHalpine]

Both aren't true spider, but just targa.... I prefer the Artura, but theses fixes windowed arches, are a strange idea, practical, but not aesthetic Arches have to descent in the body in order to be qualified as true spider.

[@conner.9262]

Artura …. I’m British old boy !

[@gregkollaeg2365]

Honestly both are extremly unreliable. I would take a Porsche.

[@amr99912]

McLaren will always and forever be a legendary car brand. Their engineering is simply sophisticated in every sensational aspect of the spectrum.

[@yissibiiyte]

Nice alliteration

[@brq4cars]

Not their build quality 😂

[@allensaunders449]

They break down and have quality issues constantly. Good at designing cars bad at building them

[@dominolehmann8227]

not reliable at all. everbody who owned one knows the drill

[@clintonkojro299]

Porsche is and always will be the best built supercars all around. McLaren has a beautiful design and fast as hell but if they could fix the reliablity and built quality then they would be amazing. The f1 p1 and solus gt are exceptions

[@JerryCarterJr-kg7hq]

I truly love my Artura coupe. It is so awesome leaving the house in electric mode. It’s very cool that McLaren is providing the 19hp upgrade complimentary…great customer service

[@ericship8383]

Since when was the last time a spider had more hp than the coupe ??

[@gen1c8rs88]

For 2025 the coupe will get 700PS, coupe can get the upgrades for free.

[@Vishnu-om7sx]

Lamborghini reventon roadster

[@guntherlauch2508]

I think the 12C Spider actually had 20 more hp than the Coupe

[@PetroBolah]

yep, Mclaren have confirmed my coupe is getting the power and tuning upgrades as well as wireless apple carplay. Good job Mclaren!

[@mambamolt_tt73]

Hot take - Orange has to be the best looking color on Supercars.

[@markoon139]

Not a hot take, I agree :)

[@sebastianjo752]

Agree

[@iCozzh]

Bombastic lamborghinis look the best in orange.

[@hooligansharma]

Is it orange exactly? It's a bit yellower more towards a mustard but I love it.

[@iCozzh]

@@hooligansharma sunburst orange

[@okeyogiose9229]

Absolutely love what they did here. I was looking forward to the spider version of this car and they really went the extra mile to make it more than just the roof coming down but added all the extra details to make the car just look better. Was worried that the coupe was a bit too minimalistic from the rear but they added a lot more aggression with this

[@4TheExec]

*_THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!_*

[@neilkinsey8523]

Rory making the explanation and presentation of the aerodynamics at the rear of the car look easy 👌🏻

[@conner.9262]

Without doubt one of the very best car journalist out there….car not bad either…!

[@cjvaans4484]

Looks better than the 750s.

[@jennypenny7243]

Rory is the best at presenting new cars. ❤

[@urbanstrencan]

Great work Rory, and McLaren really done great work with Spyder Artura ❤😊

[@MpPlayz0]

Looks sick!

[@rabeahkarram9689]

What a great host. Well done presentation and love the technical specs. This is quality work Rory. : ) amazing car reviewer.

[@jonathanneels8710]

man, you guys deserve more than 1.1m subs!

[@markusdeep42]

Hottest take I’ve ever enjoyed so far. It’s like hearing Biggie delivering 10-Crack Commandments. Yeah! Cause believe it or not a review of Hyper sport car by a professional race driver is something else than a review from just a cars lover. Rory is like a Takumi Master of Sport Hyper cars. What a beautiful night. 😅

[@reezndukwe9339]

That intro speech was supremely sublime 👌

[@kreigerbailey3550]

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@Xolition]

At this point Rori is more weatherman than auto journalist. THIS is the newest bestest thing really this time! This is today's high temperature.

[@AutoTraderTV]

This thing does seem better than their last thing. As is often the case with most cars. Although 9:26 says we have to wait to see for sure.

[@unexplainedwearenotalone3537]

hey they add from 750s spider but is looks amazing for me 750s coupe and this artura spider is the best of mclaren cars right now.

[@chubaoyolu6728]

Fantastic job as always Rory

[@AutoTraderTV]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Car_Fanatic]

To the Mclaren gods, maybe a messenger can send you this. Make your cars morr reliable and less plagued by electric faults and errors and dealrship visits for nonsense.

[@p.h.234]

Having a lot of fun on the configurator for the Artura and the Spider looks even better. I'm saddened I haven't seen more (uh, any) of these on the road yet as they're clearly ridiculously capable cars, with a lot of thought gone into them by the team at McLaren. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts when you take it for a drive, cheers Rory.

[@DSOXBLADE]

So they made the Artura relevant with more power, topless, sound system and wireless phtone to UI. I might buy one now.

[@allensaunders449]

McLaren knows how to design cars just can't build them. All the forums say the owners have nothing but quality and breakdown issues with the artura

[@MBC1988.]

Beautiful color

[@05assahse]

This is a thing of beauty. Mclaren don't dissapoint. Great review as ever Rory!

[@ALMX5DP]

5:12 I was hoping to hear how McLaren cools the brakes or if there was anything specific to that novice driver aspect that isn’t normally found on other cars or would be used for good drivers with all the ESC stuff off.

[@AutoTraderTV]

Improved airflow to the brakes, which channels air towards the pads even when the wheel is at an angle during cornering.

[@georgemode3694]

how many times will the McLaren Artura Spider stop working or go into limp mode? I still want one.

[@Junaid0810]

Holy moly! They've imitated the whole respiratory system in it😂

[@donwarner6925]

Any storage?

[@sutats]

Nice and cosy.

[@orlandorivera50]

This car is amazing this is my dream car!

[@5Ency]

Very nice 🔥

[@neptuniam]

What McLaren does with aerodynamics will always be insane

[@sangamum9192]

That colour is so elegant. 😍

[@Jabberstax]

I want one!

[@itsGcEdit]

When will they finally show us a succsessor to the P1...

[@dannya6825]

If I could afford one then I'd definitely spec it in that orange 😍😍😍

[@brentgilliam1209]

Brilliant!!!

[@LoudModeOn]

Pretty little car. I want one.

[@Minder1633]

A seriously KoooL whip !!

[@CryptoCaeser911]

60 mpg???😍😍

[@tebellolehloenya7441]

I wouldn't get tired of this keep bringing the new top gear 😮

[@WayApp]

Simply elegant

[@ps3301]

When is the ev launched ?

[@FOXHOUND4143]

THIS LOOKS IMMENSE. BEST LOOKING SUPERCAR ON THE MARKET. EVEN BETTER LOOKING THAN THE FERRARI 296

[@Krrish3333]

You are the best sir ❤❤🔥

[@tuomasholo]

Coupes are sitting unsold at my local dealer. I hope the convertible sells better.

[@real_losfidante]

The most beautiful McLaren today.

[@tagtag-connected5263]

I just can’t appreciate the crazy angles. This car should always be in dark color to hide the hideous angles. It’s still a great car regardless

[@jchem]

Name of the color or whats the color code?👀

[@ChopperPBM]

Love it

[@bawintermage8351]

Wait, Is Rory getting Jacked?? Way to go Bro

[@Darknamja]

Along with that Force Recon high and tight. 😉

[@awakenedblackheterosexual5609]

The Artura would be all that I need especially if it is reliable.

[@martyndyson9501]

Never been a fan of bright colours on cars and i still wouldn't choose one but this does look quite good especially with the black trim, not a fan ofvthe Artura either but this spec in the spida has changed my mind. All i need to do now is win the lottery......

[@Car_Fanatic]

❤ u rory, GOAT. Keep it up

[@Car_Fanatic]

Any video ur in I immediately play. Wish y more success. Btw we love ur premieres where u chat with us. Plz bring them back

[@iv6335]

So serious question, why would I change my current 720S Spyder for this? Less power, hybrid drivetrain so I have to put gas AND worry about charging it (worst of both worlds). I looked it up, it's slower in 0-60 (2.7 vs 3.0) and has a lower top speed (212 vs 205). Not to mention with the 720s many tuning shops can safely make it hit 1000+hp and still make it daily drivable. Powertrain and Handling controls at your fingertips? I just leave it on sport/sport pretty much all the time unless I plan on driving it hard. It takes 1 second to switch them both to track. Wireless charging? $25 on amazon. The hardtop roof is exactly as fast. The glass roof is just a party trick you would never use and it's a $10k waste of money option. Apple car play? I've had zero issues with just using bluetooth audio. It looks like they did improve on the (crap) sound system on the 720s. You can't hear anything with the top down when you're cruising. Driver assistance and lane departure warnings? I guess that's good. It just seems like a worst car all around compared to it's predecessor. It's sad, because it's a beautiful great car on it's own, until you realize the previous model was just better. McLaren dealerships can't give away Arturas. I've seen the same few on the showroom floor for months. I keep getting email spammed with offers for the coupe (I've seen as low as a $1,500 a month lease with $30k down, which is kind of crazy actually)

[@slimconfucius]

The Artura is replacing the 570S, not the 720S...

[@somerandomfella]

Cool story bro.

[@slimconfucius]

​@@KevinValdes The GT is not the 570s replacement, their production years literally overlapped 2 years

[@AutoTraderTV]

The 750s is the replacement for the 720s. Check out our review

[@somerandomfella]

@@AutoTraderTV I find it weird that he owns a 720 and doesn't already know this but meh..

[@Wonderpalm1979]

Does Burnout mode mean you can smash cars off the road and get points rather than warrants?

[@ProblemSolver10-4]

Damn that car is beautiful 😍

[@ricsu3462]

The car has many good angles: rear has the same gorgeous look, the sides are cleaner with a 296 intake which I really like, the front tear shaped taycanish ducts don’t quite work. As with all McLaren’s interiors I wish it can be less boring to match the exteriors

[@ALBERT.GM.WALKER]

How do the doors open? Like a proper supercar (scissor or butterfly doors)? Or like your ordinary car?

[@AutoTraderTV]

Dihedral. Upwards.

[@duileyah]

The most fun about McLaren ownership is going back to the dealer 3 times in 6 months for basic crap like paint bubbles and panel gaps.

[@keithianlocke]

Don't see much point in a plug in hybrid. I wish the performance sector would develop MHEV.

[@MLUE444]

Didn't even know about the Coupe 🚜💨

[@kallesundqvist2582]

BUT THUMBS UP FOR RORYS CAR REWIV

[@bawintermage8351]

The only thing cooler than the Artura, is Rory's shirt!!!😂

[@Account1746]

Arturito?? From money heist??

[@needhyro]

"send it" 02:43 💛

[@tylerdurden4006]

[@AceProdigyOfficial]

wow

[@robboy18]

I mean the other spiders didn't have a heavy hybrid powertrain weighing them down.

[@plasticwrap]

I like that the McLaren logo still looks like one of the first things i "made" in my pirated version of Photoshop back in the 90s

[@paparrinafp5357]

Bien 👍

[@gaia9394]

Airtura??

[@kallesundqvist2582]

TRAGIC

[@Broyale26]

Eight separate electric motors, more like eight ticking time-bombs.

[@Mykytys]

Nice car, fast, great driving characteristics. the only problem is that McLaren quality is still very questionable, it was about technology, body seams and structure in general, interior, touch screen and so on, so there are enough problems and the quality has not substantially improved.

[@chileshemubanga3594]

Lovely❤.I prefer McLarens to Ferraris

[@titou1again]

I am sure it. is fun to drive compared to my Aygo

[@3ducs]

PS.... what happened to good old fashioned horsepower?

[@fugginrambo]

McLaren Artura: The 1/3rd Airbender

[@ogidibrown4948]

This car looks very small like my slipper 😂

[@diluxe]

The LTs look so dramatic which is a shame because these look so bland in comparison, they need to inject some aggression at the front on the normal models. Rear looks great

[@hby7768]

McLaren philosophy: everything needs to fit, looks good, handles ass good as an Porsche and Ferrari if not better, must hit 200mph, and must work up to 50miles before breaking down for dealer repair work

[@sameebutt100]

It look much better as a spider

[@Resist_Oppression]

Crazy that Carplay and android auto are being toted as something special in cars that cost $200k in price. Wtf

[@Djhoodrich.]

Take my money💰💵💳

[@kennedyracing7527]

Why didn’t McLaren design that in the first place like most good manufacturers

[@RIB0S0ME]

No surprise, too speeds are limited by tires....

[@PKP1]

Does not look that different from the mp4-12c

[@oneeleven9832]

Has it got 1 button to turn all the systems off…lane departure, crash, braking, speed blah blah etc ?…or is it like other cars where you have to press 3 buttons then scroll through menus to turn it all off every time you start the car up because it’s definitely putting me off buying any new car..

[@darkmatter6714]

I don’t think I could own a car which sounds like “Arthur” in Spanish

[@catlee8064]

If we skip over the F1 .....and use the MP4 12C as Mclarens first road car....its only been 13 yrs since road car production started....13 yrs!!! Whats going to happen in the next 13 !

[@JarmelSingsKaraoke]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@R90909]

Lets hope the breakdown horror stories from Mclarens of yesteryear are left in the past.

[@MrOrtmeier]

Very nice car. Now I just need to become a millionaire 😅

[@markrhoden68]

What a shame they didn't opt to copy the Porsche RS spyder's ludicrously complicated stop top 😂

[@Thebossmaximum]

That center screen needs to get the vessels removed. Looks outdated.

[@nathansolo2605]

If only i'd been better with my education or kept up my tennis😢
