Many thanks 
I currently have a 600LT Spider and a Roma. I'm looking to rationalise down to 1 supercar. The Artura Spider may be the 'one' !
I bought an Artura Coupe three months ago and am loving it. Quiet in Electric mode when you want it to be, crazy fast with the torque-fill when required, the sound system is wonderful (even if the radio does sometimes struggle due to the carbon tub), simple buttons and controls with a beautiful feel and the very best driving position and motorised steering / control adjustment. Even the seat runs in roller bearings (great for sitting lots of people in the car so that they can have their photos taken).
The suspension in comfort deals with busy country roads admirably, the car isn't too wide and comes with front lift (rarely required) ... and Sport and Track settings just make if better and better for appropriate road and track conditions.
And still it does almost 30mpg and would be good for very very long distances with room for luggage.
Yes it takes a little time to get to know the car, and what a car ...
In my opinion, if "natural" top-end 911 purchasers were to compare the Artura, they would not buy the Porsche. Five years warranty and three year servicing included with the Artura ....

Couldn't agree more for all the reasons you stated... I've a '24 coupe, my 4th Mac and undoubtedly the best. Everything about it's a step up, the build quality for starters, then there's the overall cabin setup, the new location for the mode selectors is a work of genus, the revised Iris, sat nat etc.then there's EV mode, that's a huge plus... something I wasn't expecting. The driving experience is sublime, you think it round a corner, everything's so precise, so intuitive, love the styling too... utterly stunning car. Absolutely loving mine to bits. Its just so usable - a hooligan and pussycat. Fabulous feel (especially now I had it aligned - at 300 miles factory front camber of -1.5 is not even achievable with zero shims so both sides made a symmetrical -2 now and the rear is not one toe out and one toe in! Its even more superbly planted and well mannered now. Love the EV tech on it - economy and 200LbFt at 0 rpm grunt PLUS a superbly torquey engine at low revs. Not the most musical but the engine is a tractable masterpiece. There is no turbo lag at all.
Proprietary Pirelli tyres are turning into a costly headache but lets see how that pans out as everyone is complaining from dealers to owners... I'm sure Mc will come good, at some point!
Can I also tell you a secret - its faster than higher up the range cars but they cant have that so lie about the figs
. Journos getting 2.6 to sixty
