Artura Deliveries

Thanks!!
Is this scenario similar to when the 570s came out? Seems from reading old posts that there were many long delays before any deliveries....
im wondering if no information on the Artura these last few months is an expected thing or signs of problems...

The good news is the CEO is being replaced. The CEO sets the measuring sticks and thus behaviour......build integrity didn't make the list. The internal employees are aware of the build issues but have been thwarted by the CEO's lack of leadership on that issue. The Atura has a tested and proven engine, plus the battery system and motor but the control software has been their challenge. It's on its way sometime in the future!

I an ss much it's done x million miles/hours.......no major component failures and oilways sound. As we know full engine production can cause problems if components/assembly varies from the mules but that is very rare....but can happen, ahhhhhhhhhhhh
It appears that Flewitt kept the production line running (consuming $) in a gamble (pity didn’t pan out) that the software problem would be solved in time to ship the cars before year end. Now the money has run out and the company is stuck with cars in an unsalable state and has to find bridge financing again ….

i was under the impression the Artura V6 was mclarens first internally developed engine, while the M838 and M840 where built by Ricardo.
could be wrong.
it will be exciting to see whta Mclaren will do over the next 5 years when the geniuses that do the actual work will be under new management
Yes kinda. - from MotorSport “a 3-litre V6 engine designed from scratch by McLaren. It will however to continue to be assembled by Ricardo”
Not sure where McLaren got the experience to ‘design from scratch’ but ….. Ricardo would be a good partner

Check out the Maserati MC20 engine and the Ferrari 296GTB both are120Degree V6’s, designed and built in their respective factories, they are very similar ICE motors to the McLaren Artura V6.The Bizarre V-6 in McLaren's Newest Supercar Is Unlike Any Other Engine

There is not much published on the head design of the McLaren/Ricardo V6 so I’m not sure whether the design includes an pre chamber ignition.
My earlier quote was from Andrew Frankel well known in UK.

Well I was just connecting dots … don’t take it as gospel
We know at least 310 Artura’s have been built - saw that on the video. We also know shipment has been delayed again, and we know Mike Flewitt resigned …. 😇

I must admit, the entire package is a pretty convincing upgrade from the existing entry level. OTA software updates, numerous systems which should eliminate turbo lag, lighter carbon tech, fully electric supermarket runs, and performance that sounds as if it might be pretty close to the current 720. The scary side of it is just how many brand new systems & technologies are included, which I'm guessing is at least one of the reasons for the delays.

Not to worry, there are plenty of contributors whose word is absolutely gospel and will no doubt be along shortly to correct you in their usual vague and condescending fashion!
Oh that’s a pity, suspect McLaren may not know either at this time — what will your new Avatar photo look like?
