Using the electric motor for reverse to eliminate reverse gear from the transmission is genius.

[@bradenmchenry995]

It’s smart but not something Mclaren invented

[@noobslayer815]

Imagine if the battery is absolutely drained, which it should not be unless if you let it sit for 4 years with no charging of the battery, you might not be able to reverse, but at that point you got bigger problems

Honestly, it's kinda a good idea to have the electric motor do the reversing. That's significant weight savings and less frictional losses to not have a reverse gear.

[@jamesmedina2062]

reducing weight not friction. gears on top ball bearings. Minimal

[@Toastmaster_5000]

​@@jamesmedina2062 Not sure about reverse, but in a lot of transmissions, gears are still meshed. There's frictional losses from that too, not just ball bearings. And, for the sake of noise reduction, helical gears are often used, adding more friction. It's still not much but it's still not nothing.

[@drunkenhobo8020]

@@jamesmedina2062 If you want to be really pedantic, there will be a lower frictional force on the tyres due to the lower weight.

@@drunkenhobo8020 its not being pedantic to feel a 5-10 pound lighter flywheel or for it to affect acceleration. My lighter wheels dropped 40+ lbs of unsprung mass and this mainly affects acceleration. This is not a 5500 pound SUV man.

This is interesting. I didn't realize the value it brought for its price.

The McLaren GT does look different tbh. But I agree. It's like they just reskin the cars ever since the 12C and 650. In a way, it makes them distinctly recognizable as a McLaren. But funny thing is, when i first saw the GT, I thought it was an Aston Martin from afar

[@anuragmathur4358]

I have had my Artura since mid Feb and I can tell you that Doug is right on the mark.....its a stunning car! It's my first McLaren after owning 4 911's. I can tell you that it's on another stratosphere obviously given the price point. It's easy to drive in traffic to downtown Toronto, easy to push it on B roads, and easy to sneak out quietly without waking the neighbours. It's perfect for my needs. Anyone thinks this is not loud should come for a ride with me. In track mode when you gun it, around 6k rpm it screams. Maybe it's the Sports Exhaust but its definitely not quiet. When accelerating, you better hang on and pay attention to what's on the horizon because in a split second you pass it. I am still getting used to it. I cant wait till the summer tires are put on. I can't imagine the acceleration and handling with that chang given what it does with winters on. Excellent review Doug!

[@XennialGuy]

Yes, except he got the numbers wrong. It does not do 0 to 60 in 2.6 seconds and it is definitely not faster than a 296, not even close. This car is slightly slower than a 720S and the 296 is almost as fast as a 765 LT. And this info is coming from a McLaren owner.

Would the backup door pull roll down the window somehow, or is it just a given that if you run down the battery with the windows up, you'd need to break one window to get out?

[@unloveableandre]

Should be simple like that, right? If battery is 1%, roll down the window a little. But, in other hand, you would just need a dead battery to open the door of a locked car. Again, different scenarios but ML should have put safety over anything else and just do the right thing, dead battery or sudden shut off, roll down the window x amount.

For one I am thankful for the new chapter markers. It lets you know how much of the infotainment section to skip completely.

[@heretic124]

That infotainment looks 6 years behind. Maybe it's more responsive (and it better be for a supercar) but those bezels and UI. Wow! Btw Subaru also has vertical infotainment, it's like the biggest interior upgrade for 2022 and onwards models.

[@Hammertime4404]

Have you seen Ferraris infotainment? 😂 This is head and shoulders above that

[@993GT3]

Having driven one of these, something is to be said for the greenhouse. The forward visibility is excellent. Absurdly fast!

[@borntobomb]

have you driven previous McLarens? curious how you feel it compares.

[@993GT3]

@@borntobomb Just a 675 LT which felt like a completely different car. Much more aggressive and raw. Pretty difficult to get in and out of too. The Artura could easily be driven as a daily. A lot of the people who were on the books for the Artura were buying them for their SO or as a daily (according to the rep)

[@Kelle128]

What about reliability and build quality? I want to hear about that.

[@993GT3]

@@Kelle128 The gentleman who owned the 675 had multiple engine issues with the car. I’m terms of build quality the Artura was substantially nicer in terms of interior. Panel gaps, overall fit and finish were very tight and crisp. Can’t speak to the reliability because I was only out on a demo day. The car was being driven hard throughout the day by potential buyers and didn’t skip a beat so I guess that’s something. After getting out of the artura it felt all of what they’re asking for it.

I may pop up in Canada

The drive mode selector is like the indicator switch in a Citroen CX

[@phillyguy178]

This is one of your best videos and one of the best cars i have ever seen before in my life. How in the hell can they take a V-6 hybrid and turn it into 670 HP 0-60 2.6?? All i can say is...Wow🔥

[@rustler08]

The 0-60 is the only impressive thing. The car traps only 135 mph, slower than a stock MP4-12C.

[@craigthescott5074]

You can turbo the shit out of anything. What’s more impressive is the C8 Z06 that makes 670 HP naturally aspirated. And save $100K.

[@Woodward_Car_spotting]

Hey Doug, can you review the SSC Tuatara?

[@Acepilot1312]

Never imagined a time I’d see Doug’s latest video uploaded as much as ‘59 seconds ago’. Woah!

[@centripetal25]

Will the manual emergency door popper break the window glass then? If the battery doesn't work?

[@carltonbauer2779]

Does the window have to be lowered a little, (mechanically?), in order for the door to be opened mechanically?

[@gsmith207]

Would love to see the E-Ray and this go at it. Seems like a similar car

[@John.Christopher]

Carwow Eray, 296, and Artura drag race 😎

[@R4M_Tommy]

​@@John.Christopher 296 walks it.

[@John.Christopher]

@@R4M_Tommy which? Edit: it's faster than the F8

[@Luke-cb3ly]

E-Ray is not in the same category. it is heavier, less powerful and costs half as much. 296 GTB is faster than 765LT, and Artura is faster than E-Ray

[@9023gregb]

The Mclaren GT is sad the entire world has forgotten about it.

[@beachboy0505]

A real car 🚗 Excellent video 📹
