McLaren Artura
Why 4.8: McLaren's first hybrid and the first McLaren without hydraulic steering — a genuinely quick twin-turbo V6 plus electric motor, launched into a wave of well-documented early reliability recalls that real owners had to live through. The hardware has since matured faster than the reputation has.

The long version
Early Artura owners got a production halt and a 12-volt battery recall for their trouble, the kind of launch-year trouble that lingers in resale sentiment long after the fix ships. That caution shows up in how the used market treats early cars, discounted relative to what the powertrain's on-paper numbers would otherwise justify. Buyers arriving now tend to be people who did the reliability homework and are betting the worst is behind it, not people chasing hybrid-supercar theater. McLaren's own depreciation reputation, earned honestly by the 720S, is doing the rest of the work here.
