McLaren’s new CEO Michael Leiters worked for Ferrari and Porsche. His main focus is to limit the model lineup and improve product quality of each line. He halted release of Artura to fix some critical issues that would effect reliability. Another reason for the massive delays aside from supply chain. Hope he actually makes a difference.

@@MrFoof82 That last press release was an absolute disaster. Half the press said the car’s driving experience was mediocre, whole bunch of faults, and cars catching fire. I just hope they get reliability sorted. McLarens are lighter than most in it’s category cause of carbon tub, plus dihedral doors and incredible acceleration. If their reliability is comparable to Porsche, I believe they’ll be even more successful.

A lot of the time, actually, but full EVs are a whole different thing. Only Tesla makes an attempt at preventing them to be super heavy.

re: "RWD, as lightweight as it can be". unfortunately that's NGH (Not Gonna Happen). Mclaren's selling point is directly related to it's extensive use of Carbon Fiber in creating the chassis for all of it's models (not something done at Ferrari/Al or Lamborghini/Hybrid Al-Cf, and certainly not Honda/AL-St). this selling point of course famously got it's start with the original all Carbon Fiber Mclaren F1. the trade off for this lightweighting is expensive (if not impossible) repairs should you ever have the misfortune of getting into an accident. in contrast the Gen 2 NSX Supercar for its extra weight has greater repairability. not that an owner should be planning to crash any of these cars, but of course rarely do deer and other drivers on the road get this memo.
@GVIrish2 жыл бұрын
@@JacesOwnWorld The original NSX was every bit of the definition of supercar at the time. It was faster than the Ferrari 348, introduced several production firsts like titanium rods and an all-aluminum body, and it had an exceptional driving experience. The second gen NSX was hamstrung from the start because their hybrid approach added too much extra weight. And ultimately the performance targets weren't high enough. Still a supercar, just competing in a very deep pool of competition.

I've test driven the McLaren Artura and it feels light and powerful, but my test drive did not go well due to a rough shifting transmission issue, this gave me second thoughts about buying a first year model of this new drivetrain. I am a fan of the company and have a McLaren 675LT and it has much better handling and power than the Artura but at the cost of a stiffer ride and noisier cabin. The Ferrari 296GTB is on another planet performance wise, it has way more power and the short wheelbase and great balance makes it a blast to drive. Also, if you want a 296GTB just go ask for one, it's not a limited edition model.

Did a test drive event with my friend whos a McLaren owner, I also have driven a few different models. From a pure driving point of view its a great car. But in my opinion the 6 cylinder is a downgrade compared to the V8 model. There is a difference between a car that sounds good and a car that sounds better. The twin turbo V8 sounds better than this hybrid turbo 6 cylinder, but it also feels different.Every time I drive the 4.0L twin turbo I am taken back by the turbo sounds and deep growl of the engine. Just my opinion of course.
@GVIrish2 жыл бұрын
I drove the Artura back to back with a 570S and I kinda agree. But the way I parse it out, is that the deep tone of the Artura V6 sounds better at low and middle revs, whereas the top end of the V8tt in the other Macs sounds better at the top end. So you get to be in the aural sweet spot more often with the Artura but the crescendo is better with the V8. I prefer the V8 but I think I could be happy with an Artura or the 720 replacement at some point.

The thermal efficiency of electricity and its instant torque and response blending in with the ICE does a lot to mitigate the wastefulness of old-school performance, while adding real-world practical applications like not waking your neighbors and reducing fuel costs and skipping congestion charges (in europe).

Of all the videos online about this car, this is the one that would make me really want to own one of I had the money.

14:33 …daily driver. Mclaren hasnt demonstrated reliability on weekend cars, let alone daily drivers with hybrid drivetrain. Not that i prefer Porsche turbos, but daily driver reliability is perfected by Porsche. This is still a weekend car if driver does not want to get stuck on roadside or deal with Mclaren issues on a daily basis

Looks like a really great car - and the fact that most of us are not permitted to buy any of its competition is the cherry on top. I guess there's a reason for that though. Were it not for the (apparently) pervasive reliability issues, I'd have been tempted to do something really financially irresponsible!

wonder when the hybrid v4's will be here

Surely every brand's flagship supercar or lower end models are going to adopt this high tech hybrid setup, like the 911 Turbo facelift . Artura is stupid fast and must be fun to own with all the hybrid wizardry but reliability promises is yet to be seen like a 911 would stand up to.

i wonder if it didn't want to launch because of hill angle, but that was in its favour so i really don't get it

Is this another press drive or the first international one?
