FIRST LOOK: New McLaren Artura V6 hybrid supercar - a P1 for £1m less?
The Artura is the first step in an entirely new direction for McLaren. A hybrid V6 powertrain. An all-new carbon tub. This is an entirely different McLaren to anything that's come before. Or is it? It's due to replace the 570 'Sport Series' McLarens, but is it *actually* a mini P1 for one-sixth of the price? Top Gear Magazine's Editor Jack Rix finds out...

Well i like Koenigsegg gemera more..
I think ill have to start saving. It's apsolutely georgeous and so is the interior which isnt common in this price range of supercar.
Kako ga cepas jbt
*The P1 meets its newborn son.*
Beautiful on the outside....ugly on the inside. Just like my ex 😂😂😂
P1
The only V6 that makes me excited because it's nothing like your regular V6, so unique and special even F1 cars used 120° V6 only briefly.
flop
who still misses the Old top Gear
He His So DULL So Turned OFF
Super cool car
3:34 for everyone who wanna see the real boss
12:35 SF90 ? are you kidding ?
using the P1 as a stunt to advertise for the Artura ? It's counter intuitive
Great cars but the presenter honestly had me 😴 so skipped most of the video 🤷🏻♂️
😴
worst colour on a car " Artura "
Idk abt the Kia Soul green
He is probably the most uninteresting presenter top gear ever had. He just has no appealing character or way of words, speech, anything.
Hi Jack, very nice car but not the latest automotive bombshell. Just an off topic question; are you going to arrange a Top Gear interview with Gordon Murray and Adrian Newey together on the new T50s and the Valkyrie?
The Artura's door panels not lining up with its sidepanels effs me up! :S
2 hours loading for 20km XD gg wp
What's with the giant watch on the dash? 😕
Hey TopGear - has your camera op ever heard of a bloody gimbal?....seriously
That P1 blinks when he says it's name 0:33
Old top gear was better 😒
What's this chap's name? I usually take a very long time to warm up to new faces (yes yes I know he not new) but I do remember liking him instantly. Great presenter!
The P1 is sex on wheels
Lower price with Mclaren brand, dont think too much. Just buy it
I can describe this car in one word "EPIC"
cant wait to purchase my first ever artura in roblox
2:46 When you get most excited about CO2 emissions, I check out. This climate change religion has captured far too many of you. You get excited but you don't really know what for nor do you know when all of the efforts are working or not. Too hot in Texas, climate change. Cold snap in Texas, can't credit policy so it's ... um ... oh that's right ... climate change. Don't ever tell me the CO2 emissions on a car video again and expect me to continue watching.
😍
The front end looks really nice because it pretty much looks like a p1 in the front but in the back it loos like shit. Don’t like the little lip at the end it looks dumb
good lord mclaren, change it up a bit.. and no, not like the Senna
Amazingly elegant and cutting edge car
The back is just like the mclaren Elva
No Android Auto? *cancels order*
Dude, when he enter the car i notice that his Front view Was the car display, he couldnt see over :))
Imo Artura is more aesthetically appealing than P1
They could launch the P1 today and it would still blow minds visually, hands down the best looking car of the last decade
The P1 still looks like a total weapon. It has sexy hips.
The P1 is probably one of the best designed car ever made.
Mclaren: here's a brand new, affordable hybrid that has never been seen before on the market Entire comments section: The p1 is beautiful 😍😍
Hey guys- I just started a GRworld channel with my Mk7 golf R STAGE 2, please check it out if possible, thank you!
Hold up! 900° Celsius!? Don't you mean Fahrenheit?
Why did you add fake camera shaking to this whole video???
Give you feeling that he’s actually taking to you in person
I didn't expect to see you here patrick🤣, btw love ur vids
this car is gonna sell like huracan did for Lambo all is left to do is for mclaren is to make A SUV
Love the interior of the Artura but the seats looks so dirty. Maybe cause of the camera/lighting would get a different seat other than the club sport. Beautiful car!
What’s that soundtrack playing in the background?
The music is annoying & distracting please don't use
Anyone know the song in this?
Background music is Kasseo - Through the Sunset
Thank you Top Gear. I have done the rounds of others (Autotrader, Evo etc) and keep hearing the same repeated rubbish from McLaren themselves about this being an evolution for supercars, when they themselves already produced a hybrid in the P1. You are the only one I've seen so far to frame this car in the right context. All they seem to have done is make the concept more affordable. Which is of course great news and an incredible technical challenge, I'm sure. But why make out the car is some kind of game changer when it clearly isn't? I'm still trying to work out what about this car is special at all! Yes it looks good (subjectively). Yes it goes fast (but not eye wateringly faster than previous affordable McLarens). Yes it is light... no, it is heavier. It still has hydraulic steering, driving modes, not enough space for anything practical, a decent but not mind blowing interior, nothing special on the in-car entertainment tech. So can someone please tell me what about this particular car stands out from anything else we have seen before? For example, what can this do that a Koenigsegg can't? And don't come at with "Koenigsegg costs 10 x more blah blah blah...". If you call a car a "game changer" I want to know how it changes the game.
It's very nice and I'm sure it's very fast... but it doesn't quite give me the "James May" fizz
McLaren V8 4.5 cc.👍😆😆😆😆 ⛽E85 1ล./2กม.🙄😲😲😲😲😲
Mclaren releasing cars like new Samsung Cell phones. I will take the upcoming Ferrari mid engine V6
Looks like the 720s and the P1 had a baby It looks beautiful.
The first McLaren I've liked in more than a decade. I think I love it too ! My favourite McLaren is the F1. I also find it really practical compared to others in the list of McLarens. Yes I know. I just said the McLaren F1 is practical. But something about that car just hits the spot. The centre steering wheel, naturally aspirated BMW engine, non ABS brakes(I think, not sure, may be wrong about that), the whole shabang ! Coming back to this car, it's a good beginning for the second decade in production for one the most iconic car manufacturers. Also their performance in Formula 1 this year will set good stage for car sales. Best of luck McLaren. But truth be told. I'm a Ferrari fan. Forza Ferrari !
Where are the old people
Here for the P1, it's splendidly beautiful. Artura aokay.
0:37 "This is gonna cost between 180 toothousand five hundred pounds" So. £180 to £2500 god damn, let me just reserve me an order an slot at that price
Why v6 Mclaren ?😩
For every 3 McLarens that exist there's just one Renault Avantime
Another copy-paste design of their cars. Boring.
From V8 to V6, wait few years and there'll be no V.
These digital camera movements make this video feel like an AR tech demo. Or a Battlefield cutscene.
James definitely knows this already 2:49
Remember the Citroën GS? Yes, followed by the BX... They had those "comodos" on the dashboard. Ah yeah but you know, it was the 70's 80's...
P1 is still gorgeous, only LaFerrari can rival
McLaren interiors are boring.. This steering wheel is outdated in my opinion
P1 is one of the best looking supercar ever
Dude get lost from this channel, better let chris harris lead. Because your destiny is to do paid reviews from Porsche
Nah the p1 is a different league. The p1 comes first, then speed tail, then senna and then the rest... the p1 is easily the most special vehicle they have made in my opinion.
Is it even legal for him to reference the Dacia Sandero? >.>
Ugh.. the music.. It's just so unnecessary and annoying.
Man the P1 is just gorgeous.
Crazy to think the p1 is 8 years old.
In 2 words: it's ugly.
European countries : 180k gets you s supercar Asian countries : 180k gets you a close to high end family van
It looks like porsche taycan
“46kg is negligible” Gordon Murray: blasphemy
Makes you wonder what McLaren has been doing the past eight years?
You can’t see past the Speedo
6:53 - Porsche 911 buyers enter the chat.
Two very good looking cars. I hope McLaren can improve it's service levels and try and eliminate the 570S's almost sheer drop appreciation. I love the styling and McLaren's performance is always so impressive.
Lovely video. BUT... although I like ambient music as much as anyone, when it's just a constant drone underneath the speech it makes what's being said far harder to focus on. I get why it's done, but there's really no need for it.
How is this suppose to be the opening of hybrid supercars when the 918 is a hybrid hyper car?? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Mclaren copied the POWERMODESWITCH from the Lexus LFA
Personally, I think the Artura is the second best looking McLaren, only to the 600LT (or the P1 but In that case you get what you pay for.).
Its look so simple not very aggressive
2:48 great news
Lumberjack shirt plus beard...BBC rubbish
£200k car with hybrid technology and yet the screen panels are from midrange smartphone from 2013 🤦🏻
All great, but they should have gone with the Koenigsegg dash style on the steering wheel, because you can barely see over the dash.
grworld.info/fund/htWCoci6n51ok5g/b-nteo&ab_channel=automotion
So your not allowed to drive it but your allowed to sit in it, for bullshit covid
How dare you say “Dacia sandero” how dare you stand where he stood. (This is a joke btw chill)
It’s pretty. Looks like a noble 600.
No doubt this MacLaren is the most cutting edge vehicle design the world has ever seen. I LOVE that this car has the displays attached the to the steering wheel column EXACTLY IKE MY AGEING 370Z. Nice one Z, you set a standard there, haha.
