Terrible choice for a colour on a press car. Grey makes the car look like a 720s derivative.

In light colours, the car looks sensation. I would have one in this shimmery lime green. What a stunning design for way less than a 296.

Those Green ones ("Lime?") absolutely beautiful!

I’d do a bright blue with black roof and orange accents. Mclaren does good metallics. Ludus Blue is my fav. I think this is Volcano Blue and the silver is supernova silver.

Yupp. Lots of fleck in their paints. Silver can be considered a conservative choice but the Artura make the colour pop.

Hope it was worth the sacrifice, McLaren...

I'm shocked. Very!

Hope it was worth the sacrifice, McLaren...

That's sad... I hope they'll find a proper way out of their struggles.

This looks bad on several levels, but maybe it's commonplace in his way of staying afloat.

They have done this before. The value of the heritage collection is on the balance sheet.

McLaren has kept all it's F1 cars since the mid 80's they have hundreds of them in storage, this is a dent in the collection, the more concerning would be the F1's I guess they sold the Longtail, and the orange LM which Dennis was going to give to Hamilton.

Here is some insight from Mclaren's recent financial accounts that were published in September. The value of the Heritage collection is put down at a 'fair' value of £34m. However, we know that some of the cars are priceless and worth more than £34m on their own.

They sold their Woking headquarters last year, which they keep using, but now as tenants (a 20 year contract). They're clearly not in a good position.

Man it's def looking worse than I thought.

McLaren has sold historic cars to raise cash for upgrades to its Artura supercar

McLaren has recently sold some of its prized heritage car collection to Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund Mumtalakat Holding to raise capital to upgrade its Artura supercar.
McLaren was forced to seek an injection of funds after identifying “certain technical upgrades” on the Artura plug-in hybrid car that triggered delivery delays, McLaren said earlier this week during its third-quarter earnings.

Its main shareholder -- with Mumtalakat owning a near 60 percent stake -- agreed to support the company with an additional 100 million pounds ($123 million), the company said.

A McLaren spokesman confirmed the sale of some heritage vehicles to the company’s main shareholder in return for the cash infusion, without elaborating on the details of the cars sold.

McLaren’s heritage vehicles include 54 rare Formula 1 racing cars and F1 supercars, according to its 2021 annual report. The same report states that the company sells cars from its collection from time to time.

“We are in active talks with all shareholders regarding a recapitalization of the group,” McLaren said on the call, indicating the additional funds will not be enough. It’s also continuing talks for potential partnerships.

McLaren reported a loss of 203 million pounds in the nine months through September, compared with a 69-million-pound loss a year ago.

Liquidity at the end of the third quarter declined to 87 million pounds, down from 171 million pounds.

The British marque has sought emergency financing multiple times over the past few years from shareholders amid long delays in the launch of the Artura.

The latest round of fundraising comes just months after its shareholders -- which also include investment firm Ares Management Corporation and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund -- gave 125 million pounds through convertible preference shares.

Sounds bad sand explains why the car was delayed. I would not gamble on buying this car.
