Vlad sits down with Mikki Mase to talk luxury cars, risky decisions, and why Mikki considers the McLaren Artura the worst McLaren he’s ever owned—despite its $310,000 sticker price. Mikki breaks down how he ended up leasing the hybrid supercar as part of a dealership deal that took his previous McLaren, and why he already plans to sell the Artura after just 18 months of ownership.
Mikki explains his frustrations with the Artura’s hybrid system, including poor battery life that often requires jump-starts, limited electric range, and overall performance issues that don’t match the McLaren name. He reveals he’s only put about 3,000 miles on the car and has heavily customized it with artwork, decals, and stickers, turning the high-end supercar into a rolling statement piece.
