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

Wow. Now let's watch Mr Metcalfe's interpretation.
Ask Sam where he bought his shirt please.
Beautiful car!
I also enjoyed the use of "chimney" to describe the heat extractor over that strong v-6!
Cheers!
The more I see the Artura, the more I really like it! Pretty car.
Thought it was the lotus
never really understood the whole "R35's are sick but the new GT should have had a V8, V6's are shite" thing lol.
I saw more Tesla in these video can wait for the cyber truck and Roadster ❤

Great to see this being driven. And why not, you'd want to get the run in oit the way and none of this 2k mile a year supercar stuff..just drive it lol
Shmee drives like a nan. 25mph everywhere. Let us hear the damn cars scream.
look at his plates. that's a little inconvenient to "quickly go home" before heading down from BC. (you quickly know where this dude's from by checking out the car's front. Alberta is the only province that doesn't require front license plates [at least to my knowledge, lol.])
yes, the closer to the equator you're, the quicker it gets dark after sunset 🤓 (something some people tend to be surprised by when experiencing it in real.)
Audi r8 ! Fucken shiet
Cheers for the video mate 😎 👌
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!
It sounds heavenly in manual mode when you let it rev up a little bit!
Will it be the last uprising of McLaren ?
Like everything about it except that interior. WTF is that setup w the 2 ugly screens and the toggles on the dash. Just no.
What Colour is that?
Volcano Blue?
Why name the car to a flooring manufacturer?
Bought epoxy?
Wow nice
He did great 1700 miles
I'm a big fan of the Mclaren GT. That's the car I would buy. I don't need a car with 1000 horsepower.
That car looks beautiful 😍
Back window make the Back look like cap
Damn, its so gorgeous!!!
Half of it's lifespan in one week.
looks like a Lotus mixed with a Lambo
And ppl hate the BMW i8? this car looks and sounds as boring as these two guys trying to make conversation. 😴😴 Nothing exiting about it at all. (yea hate on me I can't afford it blah blah)lol
Absolutely amazing car! It's just mind blowing seeing this and realizing how far advanced the i8 was with very similar features.
nice car, good spec choices too.
the car literally charges itself 🤯
better than Senna (or incomparable)
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.
Love the car, but hate to tell you it’s wrong lol I’ve had my Arthur’s for a month now and it’s creeping on 8600 miles. I live in Texas and do frequent drives through all major cities averaging 3-5 hours on road a day. Still great vid tho
Are we getting one then @shmee150? I know the 296 is coming but I know you love Mclaren.
