Using the electric motor for reverse to eliminate reverse gear from the transmission is genius.
It’s smart but not something Mclaren invented
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
Koenigsegg did it first.
@@bradenmchenry995Honda goldwing
@@noobslayer815 Plug it in??? If you let it sit for 4 years, you may not want to just jump in and start the ICE anyways.
22:12 Good to see that Doug keeps to the speed limit.
That made me laugh out loud. "I got up to the speed limit there".
Yeah, it was wild seeing all those other cars driving well below the speed limit. lol
Imagine having Speed Limits
But nah seriously, Am i the only one who is happy to hear they put a V6 in this instead of the V8? I never really liked the Sound of any McLaren V8.
V6s can sound much better than V8s if the Manufacturers do it right.
Best Example is the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm, that Car is a V6 and sounds much better than any V8 in my Opinion.
Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
Notice how he then slowed and let the Chevy work truck pass on the left as a cop screen?
He means double the speed limit 😂
The new CEO of Mclaren decided to wait longer to come out with the Artura because he wanted to fix the reliability problems that Mclaren is famous for, that's why it has been 2 years to come out for full production.
It’ll still break before the 10 year mark
@@Lucifer_Cardozo No one that buys this cares about holding this for 10 years. Including myself.
One of the best driving reactions from Doug I've seen in awhile!! 😄
and the fun factor score is still a 9

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.
reducing weight not friction. gears on top ball bearings. Minimal
@@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.
@@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.
Thanks for being honest
I like how doug manages a good balance at comparing to rivals and keeping price in mind.
The Artura imo costed $600000.
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!
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.
I’m very interested in the 2024 model. What I’m not interested in is reliability issues. I want to drive the car and not have Ferrari oil on my garage floor. I spoke to a McLaren dealer in CA a few months ago and the arrogance was so thick I left. I suppose my flip flops,shorts and tee shirt wasn’t uppity enough. I definitely want to hear from actual people who own this model not dealers or paid advertisers.
@@Captain-ln3vh Ok so its been 15 months and over 7k miles (11.4k km) since I first picked up the car. I had a few SW and HW issues that were quickly fixed by the dealership in Toronto. They have been fantastic to deal with along with McLaren NS and HQ. Just a lot of support and Positivity. Its too bad you did not experience that in the CA dealership.
Ok, so what is it like to own the Artura? Its been an amazing experience.....its like it was custom built for me and my needs. I am not the kind of person that keeps the car in storage and barely drives it....I take it out pretty much daily across all seasons. Its been amazing! If you want a daily car that makes you feel special as a driver, the Artura is the one to get.
thats the mark of a good car journalist. Doug explicitely mentioned his misgivings for McLarens in the past, yet objectively praises the Artura. Well done, this is why we keep coming back
Doug’s the kind of guy I’d want to hang out with.
Ngl, I would rather wanna hang out with Squillium. You have a rooftop garden!!
Kinda guy I’d wanna see get drunk
Seeing that he and I both love cars, and have the same shoes, I would agree.
Now that he has millions
A beer and talking about cars
The look on Doug's face at the acceleration....and then when he notes the speedo while still on the entrance ramp passing highway cars like they are standing still....priceless. McLaren is kiling it.
it's impressive to me how mclaren can design so many cars and i can't tell any of them apart
What about the seanna and p1 ??
@@maurisanto7973 he is a clown repeating things he heard from other people
@@maurisanto7973those are 1mil +, don’t think you would see them often. Besides the front ends of those cars do resemble mclarens other models (senna kinda looks like a 720s and the p1 kinda looks like a 650/570)
That’s sort of the case with others now too, even Ferrari and Lamborghini with only a few exceptions
Senna, p1, speedtail, elva, 720s? These ones are very distinguishable
Sounds better than I was expecting for the V6
Sounds better than their V8s IMO
It's a surprising sound I don't even think it compares to well to most V6, impressive job
NSX
New Ford GT V6 has better sounding exhaust
Ikr… Makes me wonder why affordable brands can’t do the same thing with their V6s
Thanks for letting us know what D,N and R stand for, Doug. Always keep us informed on the newest and latest automotive trends. 👍🏻👍🏻
I was wondering if the Department of Natural Resources knows about this, since it'd be so easy to confuse the two. 🙄 'Apple' litigation anyone? 😅

@@Cdub0619 👍
Maan you're killing it this year, we love and appreciate you Doug!
The Artura be not be the wildest or insane looking McLaren, but judging by Doug's reaction, it seems quite breath-taking on the road!
I love doug but I have to disagree with him on the looks of this car. Doug has complained at times for cars looking too over the top. They style of McLarens doesn't change much but that's okay. Porsche 911 doesnt change much in terms of its looks and is still one of the best looking cars
He has the same reaction to every super car.
Doug is the type of guy to go over the quirks and features of a stroller
I'd still watch it
It would be more interesting than generic McLaren #15
tbh, ud be surprised just how much they pack in some really high-end strollers its downright stupid.
@@aatreyakatiyar223 he should totally do it as an April Fool's video lol
Yo momma the kinda guy to not give a reach around
Doug is the epitome of a man.
Dude is happy, successful and has the spirit to shout like a fairy when he feels like it.
That is a happy person.
Epitome
@@user-360johnn I love people who correct my autocorrect, thanks John!
Yes, he’s a happy dude! I love seeing his eyes popping when he accelerates and enjoys the sheer speed of the high performers. Never gets old. 😊
How do you think he would fare in war, or prison?
I wouldn’t say he’s the EPITOME of a man but he does seem like a very cheerful person
FYI the motion sensor switch is for when on a ferry or the like. Very useful feature if this is something one encounters regularly.
I know the 18 km range with the electric motor isn't much but it makes the car really daily driveable. You don't annoy your neightboors in the morning or when you just want to drive a short way you can just drive electric.
22:14 "Got up to the speed limit there!" as other cars are shooting past Doug like stars when the Starship Enterprise goes to Warp 9.
😂
He means the _Einsteinian_ one.
He went 90 mph instead of 90 KMH.
Can’t wait to see that yellow Countach!
You know what feature I wish had caught on? I used to have a PT Cruiser that had a drawer under the front passenger seat. It was set up to hold CDs, but I used it to hold all kinds of stuff, like a full size box of Kleenex.
I don't know many cars that have a drawer like that but here in Europe (Slovenia) I drive a 2011 Citroen C4 1.6 HDI and it has these drawers that pull out under the front seats and yes you can put all kinds of stuff in them.
This is interesting. I didn't realize the value it brought for its price. I think as cars trickle into the used car market it will probably become even more obtainable; which I think shows promise for it making a following. It has potential to hold a similar position in the super car world, compared to what something like a c8 corvette is to regular cars.
So happy to see you’re doing a revised review on a countach, can’t wait to see that!
Doug is the type of guy to tell you a supercar is worth over $200k It's a bargain
its a bargain compared to rivals
Not the C8 Z06 which is much less money and more performance.
@@craigthescott5074 More performance? The cars have been drag raced and the mclaren came out on top. And I have no doubt that round a track the results would be the same, given that European supercar brands are usually more concerned with track times than 1/4 miles. The c8 is a lovely car as well, but saying it has better performance than the artura is just ignorance.
@@craigthescott5074 : The 0-60 times are basically the same between the two. Though the Artura weighs less & has 671hp/531 lb.-ft. while the C8 Z is 670hp/460 lb.-ft. Watch this Drag Times video - New Z06 out launches the McLaren Artura!? C8 Z06 vs McLaren Artura 1/4 Mile Drag Race - th-cam.com/video/Epd-YT2U0KM/w-d-xo.html
@@epicgamerchannel6230 : I'm curious to see how an Artura will do around VIR in Car & Driver's Lightning Lap when they eventually run one. The Lightning Lap has been around since 2006. They ran a C8 Z06 there this year & it posted a 2:38.6 - "The Z06's 2:38.6 time is the fifth fastest in Lightning Lap history, and it's also the best lap time for a car with a naturally aspirated engine. "
Love your video, greatly done!
Ok "THIS" guy has the best car reviews on TH-cam ❤️❤️love the vids Doug
I’ve tested it and is incredible! Looking for buy one one of these days😊
I still remember that first 'tour' of this car, couldn't emphasize that FINALLY more 😂
5:29 I love that the lock marking on the key fob is already losing its paint
Doug is always out here with the coolest shirts
Turbos ❤ It took so long to come to market because McLaren actually wanted to make quality improvements over previous models. They actually listened.
Thank god for that their interior quality has been disappointing
that’s what i’m thinking aswell
I love that it has a button for "tow mode" - which you probably press at least 5 times a month.
Cup holders man they listened
McLaren has the worst reliability and resale of just about any exotic, this isnt going to be any different...
great video, but the highlight for me was Doug standing next to Sunstreaker.
made my day!
The cup holder placement is reminding me of the mp4-12c which is really what this at seems to officially be replacing/redesigning. Which I’m a huge fan of
Every new model from McLaren looks too similar than the last, but at least the powertrain is different this time!
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
Agreed, it really looks like they just throw a front bumper from the new car onto the old one and call it a day.
They really need a new head of design, badly. Their headlight design is the only thing that should remain in their new models everything else should be tastefully unique.
Not only that but a new naming system that makes more sense for EVERYONE.- total Mclaren fanboy
Yeah it’s almost like in order for it to be as aerodynamic and beneficial to performance as possible that the styling ends up looking a particular way 🤔🤦🏻♂️
Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porches have looked the same since forever, but nobody complains about them.
C8 Z06 has entered the value supercar chat!
5:29 The lock button is already wearing off… on a $250k+ car
love the Mclare n PR sticker on the charging cord @9:59
So if the power dies and you have to open the doors manually, how do you avoid the door glass hitting the A-pillar?
You break it first and open the door
@@nass419 McLaren engineering at its finest 👌
Kinda hard to end up in this scenario, as the battery charges while driving. And even if the battery drops to 0%, the broken window will be the smaller problem.
@@Tempsho They got the best aero in the game though
oops
The Porsche 928 in the 80’s also had the instrument cluster move with the steering wheel.
I never knew that, tbh. Pretty cool!
Would love to see an updated MP4-12C review!
Doug three days ago i did PDI of this car and drive too. In my dealership just arrived.
Great review!
You were clearly driving faster than 50, I could see that 😄
This seems to be a great car, though the styling to me is somewhat boring.
Maybe the Acceleration score in the Dougscore could be updated as the range for a 10 got bigger with modern fast cars.
👍👍
No secondary safety catch on the frunk lid? I'd sure hate to press the wrong dash button by mistake at full chat - bye-bye to your frunk lid, contents and windshield. Unless there's some type of override circuit.
Doug is the kid of guy that has a wrecked key fob on a new car. Gotta love the man
Whaddya know? One of my dream cars being uploaded by Doug Demuro (the king of car reviews)... on my birthday.
Happy birthday bro
Happy birthday!
reminds me of the 12C vs. 458 days. 12C was clearly more powerful.. but which one would you want now
21:55
Officer: sir do you know how fast you were going?
Doug: speed limit!
Officer: you were going 110.
Doug: I thought this car read in kilometres per hour!
Nothing makes my day more than Doug’s “THISSS”
Cant wait to watch your grand highlander review!
8:49 how does the manual door opener work with the window that has to be cranked down before opening?
Doug McLaren has already started “750s” speccing with their higher end clients! They just had a session this weekend in LA.
The "Turn off motion sensor" button is probably more though for situations where you're leaving someone in the car but still need to take the keys with you and the car locks itself.
Both of the buttons are for towing. So when you put the car on the trailer it doesn’t freak out because it’s moving while not driving. Not like motion sensors in the interior to sense people
@@tylerherrman9569 Ah ok. But that kind of button would be useful though. I've on more than one occasion come back to my car and the alarm is on because my brother waited in it.
Doug has the absolute best job!
You meant to type hobby?
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?
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.
@@unloveableandre True that's a good idea! I wonder if they've done something like that !
McLaren announced this car 2 years ago … Tesla Roadster: hold my beer
5:29 That lock button already looking worn.. there’s that McLaren quality
Ur funny, look at how ferrari interiors age vs mclarens, but yeah complain about the macs
Will you ever review the Volkswagen classic beetle? It is an absolute icon.
Our 1998 saab convertible had the same pouches in the front of the seat base.
California Highway Patrol: "I've got a speeder headed for Joshua Tree."
Dispatch: "Notify Texas authorities to set up a roadblock."
The fact that this looks like other McLarens is a good thing. It’s a McLaren identity. A ‘brand’, if you will. In the same way that Porsche 911s (or Caymans or Boxsters etc.) look like each other
Alot of Porsche look the same and redesign
True 80s 90s Porsche look same
“Got it to the speed limit there” 😂
Why would he be looking for cops if he only went up to the speed limit 😂
I keep waiting for the one episode where we see the lights flashing behind him
Gotta say, one of the best sounding V6's. I think Jag and Alfa are better, but this is very good!
Hooray finally got this review!
"I got up to the speed limit there" 🤣🤣🤣 love Mclaren been waiting for you to be able to drive this. Looks like a blast to drive just based on how much fun you had.
Very nicely sculpted
I think the 296 Ferrari v6 sounds better
Does the window have to be lowered a little, (mechanically?), in order for the door to be opened mechanically?
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🔥
The 0-60 is the only impressive thing. The car traps only 135 mph, slower than a stock MP4-12C.
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.
Still came out faster than the cyber truck
My man spitting out facts here.
Tom Cruise will come out before the cyber truck.
excited to see Doug review the Roadster! that will be something but Cyber truck will be here likely sooner
@@rimo1703 roadster hasn’t been worked on at all. It’s probably not releasing
Doug is a guy of type to say frankly every 2 minute
i read frankly in sync with his words
I love the idea of "Stealth Mode". Like the ERay, It could be a lot of fun to roll up with just a whrrrrrr.....
"Got up to the speed limit there" 💀
The Mclaren GT is sad the entire world has forgotten about it.
It looks AMAZING from the side and back but the front has too much 1997-Taurus-frog-eyes vibe 🤔
Can't relate i'm not a fossil
Agreed, though i prefer it from the front compared to the back where the all-black side panel and slim lights look kind of weird. I do think its impressive lightness is super underrated, if it were me reviewing this car it would have been the first thing I talked about
I don’t see the resemblance.
Looks boring IMO. I'm not really a fan of McLaren anyway so I might have a bias.
Side looks just like an Emira.
I think that’s the fastest I’ve seen Doug go on one of his tests lol. “Ima floor it” 😂🎉
Nah the fastest was the Model S Plaid video.
Oh boyyyy yet another mclaren!! These cars are so similar to each other I just don’t get as excited for these as the other vids lol
As always Doug was great though.
Having seen the car in flesh I can confirm. It’s pretty awesome and modern 🥰
A 300+ hp Acura Sedan already feels crazy. I can imagine any 500+ hp v6 just feels completely insane! Good review doug.
For an exotic it better feel insane, still will never compare to a v12, v10, or v8. The engine will leave a lot to be desired compared to other exotics.
@@jaredchampagne2752 I miss the rawness of older naturally aspirated engines. They all sound amazing with the smooth power curve.
Will the manual emergency door popper break the window glass then? If the battery doesn't work?
Gotta love the mp4-12c shown as the ...... Waiiit! so.. is the 650s just a mp4-12c spider? I had to look it up and it basically looks identical for the rear end
It will be interesting to see if the reliability is better for this than their other cars
If you don't have to fiddle around with the hood latch in front, that means you can push the button by accident and smash your hood into your windshield at any speed you want, right?
Or, since everything is electronic and not physical, someone thought of this and a programmer inserted a "is car stationary?" prompt and it will not react if the car is not standing.
@@riddlerandsa8161 forgot to close your hood? Spend 10 minutes trying to figure out why your car won't move.
@@jwalster9412 There will be a message in the display
@@karstenpedersen7749 what if the message is unclear.
In my opinion McLaren is the only company that knows how to do a great orange. Usually I'd say choose yellow or red, but this particular dark tone looks so great, especially when the sun reflects in the right angle to make it look light glowing lava🥹
edit:
and I think Lamborghini should follow McLaren's example and give all of their cars scissor doors
They are a bit played out.
“Yeah they don’t make it in this color, they did it just for me”
What pisses me off is they aren’t even scissor doors, they go out too much to where it’s like a lazy butterfly door. A lot of cars have them just pick, butterfly OR scissor.
It's a pretty nice dark orange. I'd still prefer Mayan Spark, but this really isn't bad at all.
Lambo has a nice orange palette
I really like McLarens, and the 296. But you know what other car has a turbo V6 hybrid power train with a DCT, goes 0-60 in under 3 seconds, looks amazing, has AWD, and is around half the cost? That’s right, the NSX!
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.
Have you seen Ferraris infotainment? 😂 This is head and shoulders above that
Having driven one of these, something is to be said for the greenhouse. The forward visibility is excellent. Absurdly fast!
have you driven previous McLarens? curious how you feel it compares.
@@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)
What about reliability and build quality? I want to hear about that.
@@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
22:12 "Got up to the speed limit there"
Yeah, twice 😂
we haven't seen a "scared doug face " in a couple of years! very impressive!
Doug's the kind of guy to do an 8 second pull in a supercar and *just* reach the speed limit.
I think the speed limit is 140mph lol
Would love to see the E-Ray and this go at it. Seems like a similar car
Carwow Eray, 296, and Artura drag race 😎
@@John.Christopher 296 walks it.
@@R4M_Tommy which?
Edit: it's faster than the F8
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
What if the battery died with the window up? Even if you use the mechanical release, wouldn't the window still be in the way?
Those drive mode rockers took me back to my 1992 Geo Storm.
Finally a McLaren that actually is different. Most people can't even tell apart the twin turbo V8's but with just different tunes for power.
Although future models will probably all hove twin turbo V6's from now on.
All V8 McLarens have a different character. Don't get sucked into the 'they all have the same engine' trope.
Looks like a Lotus Emira just worse.
@@PSUK997 McLarens are way too generic.
@@PSUK997 Well yes, but actually no because the difference in HP is what set's them apart and that's not enough. Lamborghini at least have V10 For Huracan, V12 for the Aventadore and V8 for the Urus.
@@kay8d a Huracan is one of the most sterile driving experiences I've ever had. It's basically a cool sounding Golf with zero driver engagement.
Hey Doug, can you review the SSC Tuatara?
The frunk release that doesn’t incorporate a secondary safety latch seems like a nice convenience…until you accidentally hit that button while the car is in motion or on a windy day.
Given it's electric I'm sure it won't open unless the car is parked.
the navigation system in the gauge cluster... the freer 458 was the first one to mount it, and since then...
I can't imagine the random issues and reliability problems these may have. McLaren seems to have their hand full with time tested V8s, throwing in a hybrid system may be a disaster.
Never imagined a time I’d see Doug’s latest video uploaded as much as ‘59 seconds ago’. Woah!
