I almost broke the new McLaren Artura

This is the brand-new McLaren Artura Spider!

That's right – McLaren has finally launched a convertible variation of its hybrid cars. However, while the roofing might have altered, much of the remainder of the vehicle is the same. So the concern is, does the Spider edition necessitate the ₤ 221,500 cost, when the basic Artura 'just' costs ₤ 202,000? Let's take a more detailed look …

In regards to the design, the outside is almost identical to the basic Artura – but that's not precisely a bad thing! This implies the front end has a number of vents, with every one serving a function. Along the side, you realise simply how low down the car is, and there are huge air vents to be found on either side. Around the back, there are yet more vents to assist cool the engine, in addition to a large diffuser. All in, it looks pretty sensational!

On the inside, the Artura Spider is incredibly minimalistic. The majority of the performance is managed through a small infotainment screen, although to be truthful, it can be a bit laggy. The centre console holds buttons for the drive selector, and there's a set of digital dials that move along with the guiding column. The materials throughout the cabin are all well-made and feel expensive, however what more would you anticipate from an automobile that costs this much!

The Artura Spider is powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo V6 coupled with an electrical motor. It's the same engine as in the basic Artura, but the power has actually been increased by 20hp, so it now produces a total of 700hp! This power is sent out to the rear wheels just by means of an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

So is the Artura Spider the very best choice? Or should you pick a different convertible cars rather? Stick to Mat to see on your own!

      This is a brutal review. Slow off the line, bad brakes, roof doesn’t work, infotainment is buggy, expensive, not as pretty as a 600LT.

      Performance doesn’t even seem great. Massively worse brakes than a GT3 and slower acceleration than even a 911 GTS.

      @paintballplayer700 I guarantee you it is not slower than a GTS lol

    4. @paintballplayer700 Avatar
      @paintballplayer700

      @da5863the numbers are there, they don’t lie. 3.4 sec to 60, you think the 992.2 GTS is slower than that?

    5. @rowenminer Avatar
      @rowenminer

      @paintballplayer700 It’s because it is the spider of course it’s going to be slower. The non spider version is faster.

    Actually it’s easy to figure it out. It stopped because you were standing too close to the car, and the roof. Just safety reasons.

      @owain5431

      ​@AnythingGoezYes. In case an idiot friends kid, or cat or any other random event you can’t think of, causes this hugely expensive roof system to require repairing as a non-warranty issue.

      @BRYANT-d2q9r

      I mean its a supercar, it doesn’t need a super high tech infotainment system

    2. @KentPhillips Avatar
      @KentPhillips

      @BRYANT-d2q9r I definitely wouldn’t say ” it doesn’t need a super high tech infotainment system”. It’s a $200k+ car. It’s just that supercar companies don’t seem to focus on the infotainment. Especially with Apple Carplay and Android Auto being better alternatives. That’s not an excuse though.

      @picapica8266

      @KentPhillips Honestly i’d want it to have a somewhat modern screen for a $200k car. You can’t tell me it weighs more than what they put there. How difficult can it be. It’s an overpriced car anyway

      Yeah I have the GT and it’s way better imo. I like minimal center screen but having it out like that looks cheap.

      Its a supercar, you arent focused on the size of the screen less distractions more driving.

    £65,000 of options is insane! I bet they make 60 grand profit from those.

      Overpriced?, yes, but no way they are making 60k profit.

      ​@HKFunster I think you’re correct. I believe they make over 100k profit on the entire car. Think about it, the entire car doesn’t even cost 55k to build…

    4. @J7X-P1 Avatar
      @J7X-P1

      @HKFunster you’d be surprised how cheap some things are to manufacture….. Just as an example, Beats headphones cost $10 to make, and they sell for $300+ leading to a 2900% profit…… now imagine these $65k options…..

      Because the 296 is a leagues better car 😂

      The Artura isn’t even faster than the 720

      Because one has 671hp while the other has 819hp

      @nickB-u5t

      @rowan1036 Not really, It has had multiple hybrid issues, but you dont hear about it as its a red car & were not allowed to spk badly about them, its also a hotch patch of design cues & awful corvette influences & finally its in an entirely different bracket both performance & price wise…. The Mclaren is a way prettier car & for the money delivers way better value.

    That electrochromic roof costs 1/5th the cost of my entire car, which has an electrochromic roof that’s over twice the size of the Artura’s. It was a ~£1700 option.

    That screen looks like it was taken off a very old Samsung tablet and I would not be surprised if it actually is that. McLaren owners deserve it for not calling out for many years.

      @dylangiles2624

      296 wins easily Artura is in an awkward spot right now cause it’s slower then a Turbo S and any other high horsepower car

    2. @Sa_0999 Avatar
      @Sa_0999

      @dylangiles2624well the best Matt has got from an Artura was 10.4 seconds the previous gen version and I’m sure with hot tires and a few runs in warmer weather it can achieve 10.3 and yep true it would be interesting tho to see how much it looses by.

    3. @Sa_0999 Avatar
      @Sa_0999

      ⁠@dylangiles2624the new turbo s also isn’t something upgrading to cuz only a minor 50hp bump to 700hp which can legit be done to the out going gen with some new turbos for much cheaper,it should of atleast made 800-850hp to compete with the rest cuz even if it launches the best it will just get dropped right after and the top speed is also slightly lower so yh deffo not worth upgrading to

    4. @dylangiles2624 Avatar
      @dylangiles2624

      @Sa_0999It’s top end is surprisingly good too be honest, but it still lacks horsepower
