Jethro Bovingdon (Top Gear co-host) just posted on IG: "It’s been way too long since I’ve visited Spain. To be honest, one week not being here is too long! Love the place. Here for the new McLaren Artura on road and at the Ascari Race Resort." His IG is here: Login • Instagram Thus, it appears that third party reviews are just around the corner. Bovingdon posted this photo:

It's on the driver's side of you're driving the native car. It's on the passenger side if you're in the left hand drive conversion.

All RHD drive cars have the fuel cap in the same place as the LHD version. Most of them don't say Made In Surrey on them though.

Tim Pitt ("Car journalist at Motoring Research"): "Driving the McLaren Artura today. So, which one to pick? Papaya (orange) seems the obvious choice, although I’m quite taken by the Flux Green…" http://instagr.am/p/Cektn-nIh_K/ Apparently, these are the Arturas available for test drives by the press at the Ascari race track in Spain:

Laurent Chevalier (Sport Auto Mag) provided these photos from the Ascari press roundup. I count ten Arturas in the first photo, and that does not include the two orange Arturas in the second photo. That is a lot of Arturas.

The green in the Tim Pitt photo looks so different than the green above. Not sure which filter is more realistic

Evo Magazine: "We finally got behind the wheel of the McLaren Artura, this 680 horsepower plug-in hybrid boasting fuel consumption of 4.6 liters per 100 km while accelerating from 0 to 200 km/h in 8.3 seconds. We'll talk about it very soon..." http://instagr.am/p/CeoLexooQJU/ Lot of people posting rear shots.
