The HIGHEST MILEAGE McLAREN ARTURA!? Driven 1,700 Miles in 6 Days

Now this is how you start ownership of a new supercar! I'm with Sam and his new McLaren Artura, on which he's already driven 1,700 miles in only 6 days. The has gone straight from collection at McLaren Vancouver, on the road for a trip via LA to Arizona! Let's check it out...
The McLaren Artura launched just shy of 2 years ago and has been famously plagued with issues getting it to customers and on the road, but with those cars coming through thick and fast, there are plenty of owners looking to get them out there and find out what they are all about.
Featuring a new 3.0l TT V6 hybrid powertrain, alongside new everything compared to previous McLaren models, the company has a lot riding on the success of Artura. This particular car is finished in Vega Blue and certainly looks the part as we first take a look around before jumping on board.
While the streets of Beverly Hills aren't best suited to discovering a new supercar, they are perhaps more representative than normal with the daily driving ambitions that McLaren target for with Artura. In any case, it's my first opportunity to ride in, and to drive the new car to find out about it.
Thanks for watching, Tim

Good to see it's being properly driven!

[@Shmee150]

That's what I love to see!

[@SWR112]

I just watched that Manny guy, loaded absolutely stunning Car collection but treats them like art more an investment and likes them just sitting on show by the looks of it and that’s his right but I tend to think what a waste to not experience them really. Mind I’ve had my Car eight years now from new and only 30k on it.

[@HxTurtle]

@@SWR112 Manny has so many cars (and probably only so and so little time) that it's actually quite difficult to add many miles on them all. preserving might be okay as well. I mean, they then in return might get driven in the future. the future won't deliver such cars anymore, so on one hand we're also kinda almost obligated to conserve the last of their kinds true petrol head cars (just imagine how our car nerdy kids gonna referred to as, "lithium heads" in the near future, lol.)

[@davidmitchell5903]

I feel like Artura got such a bad wrap that it was dismissed early, but really it's a great car. Baby P1 suits it.

[@sailorjerry3720]

Beautiful car! I also enjoyed the use of "chimney" to describe the heat extractor over that strong v-6! Cheers!

[@gen2-x364]

Very nice looking car. Nice sounding for a 6 cylinder. I like big wings on some cars but it's refreshing to see a clean looking supercar. I know a blacked out rear section of a car is a thing these days but imo some color to the bumper would look amazing. Possibly some matte carbon fiber ground effects as well. No doubt MSO could do that.

[@BrianAz]

AMAZING color, design, technology, and iconic name in supercars is what dreams are made of! Thanks for such an intimate look at this fine automobile!

[@hollywoodcheremonkey]

I love it when Shmee is here in LA! Ever plan a meet n greet? That sure would be great! This review happened at the worst time possible, during rush hour. As you know LA has the worst traffic in the developed world. But it was extremely gratifying and useful to see a McLaren review in LA traffic, because that’s the type of traffic I drive in everyday! Sounds like the Artura passed with flying colors.

[@christianmcgee9152]

[@InsaneSupercars]

You should host a car meet up while you are here in Los Angeles. I’m sure many of your fans would show up, & would want to checkout the right hand drive GT Black Series😬

[@5Ency]

Looks so good 🔥

[@SWR112]

Good for him using it proper, wish him many happy miles it. When a Car collector says “ I’ve had that a year, beautiful isn’t it only 64 miles on it” I cringe a bit. He should get a award considering McLaren have a reputation. I like this Electric- ICE combo if it gets better MPG, power and comfort. Ferrari are absolutely nailing it.

I love it!! I need one. Its beautiful.

[@czimm3744]

Absolutely amazing car! It's just mind blowing seeing this and realizing how far advanced the i8 was with very similar features.

[@sfisosg7904]

Issue is the i8 was incredibly expensive and underpower for a 6 figure car

I just got a 570, didnt consider this because of the v6.. what are your thoughts?

[@khumomotsatsing9868]

Hey Shmee. I’m just curious. You’ve driven a lot of your friends’ cars and I wanted to know is there some sort of temporary insurance agreement with your or their insurer, or is it just based on a being super careful thing.

[@Mike-dd8bd]

Friend of mine was invited out to a test event with these (he`s a McLaren owner) and I went with him. Its not a bad car but the 6 cylinder is a downgrade compared to the V8 models. The noises the V8 models produce with turbo are just better. It will interesting to see how well this car sells.

[@rustler08]

Running 10s and trapping at like 139mph, it's a massive downgrade compared to the 765LT and even the 720S.
