Just posted a blog on my 1st impressions on the McLaren Artura:

Has McLaren nailed it or missed?
McLaren Artura - 1st Impressions
Re: McLaren Artura - 1st Impressions
Is that how they spell warranty in the US?
Interesting read, it does sound like a good package, and I think it looks great. What I haven't seen in anything I've watched or read is its green credentials, I guess if you're going to go to the trouble of making a PHEV then that should be part of the conversation. Only thing I've seen is that it'll do 20 miles on pure electric, which is hardly ground breaking.

Re: McLaren Artura - 1st Impressions
Did McLaren pay you anything to post the article?
Agree on the colour; lovely. Since it's very McLaren to look at, I think the drive stories are going to be the important ones - very different engine, drivetrain which presumably builds on the P1.

Re: McLaren Artura - 1st Impressions
Sadly ...........no. (I don't get any special treatment from any of the manufacturers)
Agree, drive reviews will be critical.
Re: McLaren Artura - 1st Impressions
Yes, UK & the US are separated by a common language.
I did tell someone I was tri-lingual though - I speak English, American, & Australian.
Re: McLaren Artura - 1st Impressions
Have they fixed that issue you told us about with the P1's battery where it would need replacing at extortionate cost if you didn't plug it in? Presumably it's a totally different system?
Re: McLaren Artura - 1st Impressions
This is a very different system
Re: McLaren Artura - 1st Impressions
Regarding the actual green characteristics, is there a significant improvement in real world CO2/km?

Re: McLaren Artura - 1st Impressions
I'll take it
I think it's the best looking car they've made of the modern era. That side intake and flying buttress arrangement is the best resolved of Evija, F8 etc.

Notes lack of expletives....slightly raises eyebrow.
