McLaren Artura - Not for Wallflowers - Test Drive | Everyday Driver

The McLaren Artura represents a restart among McLaren production sports cars with a new tub, engine, and electronics than the models that came before. But it also wields a $300,000 price tag and a name that isn't the first thing people think of for supercars. We take the Artura out to discuss what it does well and how it tries to justify its price. Join us for a Test Drive*
*We recorded this with the same two shot host camera setup we always do, but had a problem with the recorded file so we had to build this without that shot. We hope you still enjoy the commentary and shots of the car.

Having bought the Artura last Feb, I have been blown away by it! Its a perfect car in my eyes.....a real drivers car that is exotic. Great review guys!

[@MLHunt]

You guys need to blur the speedometer. John Law might come to have a word! 🤣

[@Comexcyc849]

clearly in mexico

[@TheMotoFolk]

Clearly.

[@andreisevostianov9525]

I was surprised to see those numbers not blurred in the previous car comparison video. But may be that’s fine and they never do it (can’t recall).

[@ChoPi-Eww]

Um, closed road? Yeah, that’s the ticket! Or something. This is kinda why I’m hesitant to go on one of the road trips - I’m afraid I’d get in an accident or left in the dust.

[@RockstarBruski]

​@gomper good group drives have a lead and rear car so no one gets left behind 😀

[@rdiamond655]

I really liked the 570GT but haven't been very excited about McLaren since then... until this car. This looks great and seems like they've really nailed the handling and steering.

[@sanglemalt]

As an owner of several lotuses in the past (and still currently have an exige), as well as a 600LT, you guys nailed what I love about the McLaren. The steering feel is so good, combined with the stiffness of the chassis and the focus on involvement. It was the only car that I felt gives the feeling of a lotus with the overall power and sophistication of a modern supercar.

[@neillgowans4350]

The Artura keeps growing and growing on me. Looks like a samurai sword somehow.

[@nitrostackr]

Love this car, that color is perfect for it!

[@yootoobinator]

Nice save with the b-roll & solo drives. They're not just cover shots, they're chosen very specifically. Top notch as always guys! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@PetroBolah]

I've had mine for a few months and I adore everything about it. I am new to the brand so have no loyalties or bias.

[@mkei8973]

Hi, from Japan!! I’m sad I couldn’t see your side by side faces on this weekend. Well, I have been saving money to buy a new car. 💲300000!? Okay!! I decide to buy this McLaren 200 years later(^^)

[@jasonkang105]

I like this new format for a test drive; commentary which has a sampling of different montages and B roll.

[@cmdrgunslinger5955]

You should do more reviews with them side by side audios only. Imagine how good the visuals of the car would be if you plan it that way. We watch the videos to see the cars & listen to you. 😂

[@rdiamond655]

I know you lost most of the in car footage, but I did appreciate more glamour shots of the car.

[@romanovmarkelyon1021]

I think this is the best looking McLaren

[@NewCastleIndiana]

Visited McLaren hq in July. Nando and Oscar were just off to the side of us in the main area inside.

[@tomshelly1]

Right. Nando. Sure.

[@NewCastleIndiana]

lol. I can’t type on small keyboards. But I do love Nando’s Peri Peri chicken

[@HUMC5]

Great spec!

[@jpkatz1435]

Even when you guys aren't talking over each other, you sound like you are talking over each other.

[@RockstarBruski]

Great review! Beautiful powerful car driving in fantastic long sweeping curves. Drool!!!!!

[@rdiamond655]

"Not a car for the demure!" You don't hear that very often do you?

[@mr.revsup]

Great as always! Even without the side by side, though I miss your facial expressions. One ask please, my big screen 7.2 surround system - my subwoofers are working overtime. Is there a lowpass filter you could use to lower the lowest ends? It's intrusive. Also... those spedo numbers... how are you not getting tickets? HOW?? I'm imagining those are NOT KPH! ;-)

[@rdiamond655]

I appreciate that they don't blot out the speedo.

[@cmdrgunslinger5955]

Same way the use the same plate for every test car.

[@paulk4534]

McLaren has the Best steering of any car made today. A couple of corrections, there is no regenerative braking and it weighs just 3,300 pounds wet not 3,400.

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

Artura vs ERAY next please.

[@martinsbriglio8948]

Great review 🎉

[@Onyok.Bentot]

Beautiful photography! Thanks for sharing.

[@pritampange4414]

Engine sound is amazing, link for the lotus please

[@SachinLimbu77]

for me best looking car ❤

[@sachinjussun3198]

One of the best 👌

[@MISTERBOLD]

Nice spec 🔥

[@boeingdriver29]

I’d love one of these but in Australia they are $640,000 Australian pesos.

[@TechnoKid_]

The silhouette reminds me of my old mkii mr2, even the colour is the same. The position lights are also similar. I still prefer the mr2 though. This car certainly gives off MR2 vibes. 300'000 GBP?! You could buy 5 MR2 and rebuild them even better than a new one.

[@AF-hx4xz]

If I start saving up now I’ll be able to afford one when I’m 278 yo!

[@FurkanCemTurfanda]

I wish this car was reliable enough for me to dream about owning one day, but I don't want that hassle in my fantasy world lol.

[@6th.replicant577]

Great vid. Cool car. Anyone know the name of the colour?

[@thegooddoctor6719]

How does it compare to the C8 you guys have ?

[@rdiamond655]

That was last week on the main channel, 'The Price of Fun', which was so cool to see a five fun car comparison. Still amazed they pulled it off.

[@thegooddoctor6719]

@@rdiamond655 Yeah, your right.. I forgot about that - Thanks for reminding me.

[@imports4life67]

What color is that? It's gorgeous

[@fl5_driver]

This reminds me a bit of the NSX. Artura is much lighter. Any similarities between the 2?

[@Frahman95]

Looking into trading my older huracan for a 23 artura.. cant decide 😭

[@theCycleReport]

Brb gunna sell my house

[@hangpilot1200]

Seems like the Lotus Emira is 90% of the car for 33% of the price.... They even look almost identical. I'll take a Lotus please ;-)

[@aramistaboada5696]

Bro a lotus can compete with a C8 is going to compete with the Artura 😂

[@aramistaboada5696]

Bro a lotus can compete with a C8 is going to compete with the Artura 😂

[@humunahumunaha9770]

@@aramistaboada5696huh?

[@IsaacReddinger]

The direct rear view looks larger/more bloated than the C8

[@jeebus2121]

I'll pray for you.

[@IsaacReddinger]

@@jeebus2121 I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, but thanks!

[@KaneGregory]

This and the Ferrari 296 are good but I think I’m gonna go with the MC20 it’s not as fast as the Ferrari it doesn’t ride like the Artura but it’s more interesting to me!🧠🤯🔫

[@lafeverte]

You guys kept on talking over each other it is so annoying

[@dlewis9760]

P1 batteries are going south. This going to be the same? In a couple of years your peers will be laughing at you?

[@RickyLake]

A complete battery replacement is about $5k. The battery is modular so sections can be replaced.

[@rondail5675]

Gee, I could buy a Corvette and a Porsche foe $300k.

[@Nickgyw6]

$300,000 for this? This is basically just a hybrid 570s (which you can buy for $120,000 used)

[@SupraSav]

Electric 😒

[@davidsucks922]

Unimaginative take. Old good new bad, no nuance allowed!

[@overbuiltlimited]

​@@davidsucks922 What? Nuance means a slight or subtle difference. A word smith you are not. It's also ironic that YOUR take is more "unimaginative" than his. EV's suck on multiple levels and many, including me refuse to drink the EV kool-aid. In 30 years EV's will have gone extinct for the second time.

[@user-sd1el5pf5n]

I purchased one about 7 weeks ago. Haven’t driven it once. It was sold to me without full disclosure. Unbeknownst to me it had a number of issues and has been in the shop ever since I made the purchase with no resolution in sight. Apparently McLaren doesn’t have the ability or desire to resolve the issues. This vehicle only has a few hundred miles on it. I completely regret making this purchase. McLaren’s customer service has gone into the toilet. All I continue to hear is one excuse after another. Buyer beware!
