MCLAREN ARTURA REVIEW WITH 0-60MPH, 1/4-MILE & DRIFT TEST!

EV Channels Review

The McLaren Artura is presented as a compelling first hybrid supercar, aiming to rival established players like the Ferrari 296 GTB. The reviewer praises its striking design, minimalist yet high-quality interior with supportive bucket seats, and the intuitive new infotainment system. Performance is a strong suit, with the twin-turbo V6 and electric motor combination delivering a potent 680hp and achieving 0-60mph in a brisk 3.02 seconds. The car excels in handling, offering precise hydraulic steering, a well-balanced chassis that handles bumpy roads with aplomb, and the ability to drift more easily thanks to its electronically controlled limited-slip differential. However, the reviewer notes some drawbacks: the hybrid system's initial default to electric-only mode can be frustrating, delaying full engine power, and the engine note doesn't quite match the Ferrari's. Build quality in places is questioned, and the lack of a glove box is a minor inconvenience. Despite these points, the Artura is deemed an excellent all-round hybrid supercar, recommended for purchase.
