Artura Owners & Reviews

ettorri said:

I've put about 200miles on the Artura, including some good laps at the local track. The car runs great and drives really nice both in the city with traffic as well as on the track. Two things to note: While on the track I was able to push it to 150mph on the large straight but then when it was time to break I almost ran out of track. The brakes felt really weak and it caught me off-guard, but afterwards my friend reminded me that it has ceramic breaks and those need to be very well heated before they break good. I had done about 2-3 laps before the fast test and I guess I need to worry more about heating the breaks more. One of the reasons I never liked ceramic breaks. In the evening I took the car out for dinner and when I started the car to come back I got this transmission error. I had to drive back home slowly and planned to take the car back to the dealership but the message was gone the next day and it's been gone since. I'll update with anything new on that regard.

There is no earthly way it takes 263 feet to stop from 70mph. Autocar is smoking crack. I’ve been in the car at Sonoma raceway

Thanks for your post. I've got an Artura arriving in a month, and I guess I'm just curious... is there supposed to be any "break in period" or should this beauty come ready to ignite on the track? I've gone through a string of performance cars from M3's and M5s to R8s and always adhered to the recommended break-in periods before tracking. My last 2020 Audi R8 Performance recommended 1,500 miles but I know a lot of that is just historical nonsense / liability reasons. I'm just surprised to hear you are lighting up the Artura 200 miles in and wondered if McLaren had any break-in policy that could void your warranty, etc. for not adhering.

I was told by my dealer that there is no break in period for this cars. And given the delayed and potential problems for this cars I decided to go full on with the car and if anything bad brakes I’d still have a chance to claim it’s a lemon and return it.
So far I absolutely love the car. Other than the transmission message that I got for that one night everything has been perfect. Fingers crosssed

If you talk to just about every mechanic, sales person; they'll all tell you that you can hit the track right as soon as the car is delivered. (mclaren pure cars, cars that the factory brings for demo laps/test drives at tracks have delivery miles on them (I've seen it many, many times).

Nothing wrong with adhering to the break in from the owners manual though.

biggest chuckle I got was from Lambo owner's manual. it tells you to break in new tires for 350 miles and to not do performance driving until they reach that many miles (apparently; optimal grip is achieved when the tires have 350 miles on them).
