I didn't know this was the 570 successor. The rear does look a little bland, but not really bad, just not super exciting. The rest of the car looks great, love the front and even the side shots.

It is nice to see that Mclaren upped their warranty. Positive direction there.

Not something i'd buy but i'm a fan of EV tech allowing the car to start up completely silent, leave the subdivision, and then fire up the ICE and spit flames.
Much different drivetrain concept here though.

If you are not already registered, get onto Mclarenlife. I'm there as well. Just make sure to get it PPId and extend warranty every yr.

Gorilla glass stress cracks and coolant clamps. Those are the only 2 I have heard about and none of which I have experienced.

All manufacturers have a certain trait or ethos to them to make them stand out a certain way. Lamborghinis are distinct from Ferrari as Porsches are to MB. If there is interest in a specific brand of cars, you will then naturally notice the variance between the models.

I know that, and I was thinking about Porsche when I made the post, but I can look at a Porsche or Ferrari from a distance and differentiate between models, McLearn all look the same to me.

McLaren Artura Deliveries Delayed In US

https://www.motor1.com/news/509252/m...-launch-again/

Quote:
They'll still be on sale later this year.

There's bad news for folks wanting to experience the new McLaren Artura because the British automaker has to delay the supercar's launch. The problem is "software supplier-related issues," according to Automotive News. The first deliveries in the US should now be in late August or early September.

The Artura starts at $225,000 in the United States. As upgrades, there are Performance, TechLux, and Vision trims.

The Artura has McLaren's new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with hybrid assistance. In total, this setup makes 671 horsepower (500 kilowatts) and 593 pound-feet (804 Newton-meters) of torque. It runs through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The 7.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery allows the Artura to cover 18.64 miles (30 kilometers) on electric power. It can charge from 0 to 80 percent in 2.5 hours on an EVSE socket.

According to McLaren's figures, the Artura can hit 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) in 3.0 seconds, 124 mph (200 kph) in 8.3 seconds, and 186 mph (300 kph) in 21.5 seconds. The official numbers claim the supercar covers the quarter-mile in 10.7 seconds. The top speed is limited to 205 mph (330 kph).

The Artura uses the new McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture. It consists of over 500 carbon-fiber pieces that combine into 72 pre-forms. This helps keep the weight down to 3,303 pounds (1,498 kilograms). The hybrid components like the motor and battery are 287 pounds (130 kilograms) of this weight, and the engine is 353 pounds (160 kilograms).

The new McLaren comes with modern safety amenities like adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, high-beam assist, and road sign recognition. Inside, the infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also has track telemetry software to provide the data necessary for improving times at a circuit.

Same. These cars are crying out for a naturally aspirated engine.
