Leiters interview with Evo, Focus on Quality at McLaren, Positive Outlook Moving Forward

Would be good if McLaren takes up Elon’s offer of charging standard ..

@ZombiePhysicist maybe you can merge the threads?

@vtknight fyi

Thank-you for this...I am not sure I understand their thinking then. 300 KW is about 500 lb ft. Why would they limit themselves like that? HP is what I was asking for though...but this new info doesn't help lol.

I don’t have any direct information from McLaren. But my ‘internet’ suspicion is that Ferrari somehow got wind of the Artura V6+Axial sandwich motor development and set out to develop a competitive product. For McLaren having a new to them V6 and perhaps wanting to allow some head room for an Artura with wing model etc was conservative. Any way if McLaren solves the problems and keeps the Artura price low I think they will sell well ….

I think people on car forums think too much 🤡.

price and availability trumps pretty much everything . Fwiw; I know a number of people who are getting artura and have orders in For 296.

Yes there are several on the forum that said they are getting both 296 & Artura. 😀

Think maybe both looked at the second gen NSX.

Yes for the sandwich electric motor. But of course no front axle electric motors in the Artura or 296 😀
