McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

Best Ford Mustangs Of All Time

It’s been roughly 55 years since Ford changed the automotive world, and the world in general with the introduction of the Mustang, and in that time the car has become a cultural icon, a motorsport legend, and a blueprint for what an American sports car should bring to the table. With international popularity and fervent love for the Mustang among so many people across generations, the question of the best Mustang model can be answered in many different ways depending on which of the Mustang's attributes you like the most. The Mustang has no problem delivering dynamics, pure power, and classic beauty, and the best Mustangs of all time do that like few other cars in the world. When it comes to Mustangs, we’ve compiled the very best, meaning that for whatever you want out of a pony car, you know exactly the best Mustang to buy. 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Shelby knows how to turn up the volume on a Mustang, and the 2020 model is probably the highest they’ve cranked it yet. With the Mustang’s sixth generation as its canvas, the 2020 Shelby is already outfitted with the most dynamic Mustang yet. The icing on the cake comes in the form of a few things: a 5.2-liter V-8 pushing out 760 horsepower, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to send your GT500 flying to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. What really makes the 2020 GT500 stand out, however, is the carbon-fiber wheels. For 2020, Shelby went the extra mile for performance and offered a feature that usually is reserved for elite hypercars, all in the name of speed. View Listings 1969 Boss 429 Even in its early days, the Mustang was in charge of the sports car world. Hence the Boss model of 1969, with a whopping 429 cubic-inch 7.0-liter V8 that produced an incredible 375 horsepower for the time. That power went through a 4-speed manual transmission, sending the Boss to 60 miles per hour in 7.1 seconds, and to a sub-14-second quarter-mile. Even the engine itself is steeped in history and pedigree. The 429 engine is semi-hemispherical, and Ford built it to qualify for Nascar, making the 1969 Boss 429 Mustang a formidably strong contender wherever it was, whether that be the street or the track. View Listings 2000 SVT Cobra R The single color that this modern classic performance Mustang came in was a great indicator of the red-hot performance that resided under the hood. With just 300 ever built-in Performance Red only, the Cobra R stands out due to much more than just its color and its gigantic fixed spoiler. With Recaro racing seats, the ultimate measures are taken in the name of weight savings, and its 385 horsepower 5.4-liter V8, the Cobra R made it clear that SVT was more than ready to make its mark on the 21st century for car enthusiasts all over the world. The mark it made? A 0-60 time of just 4.4 seconds, and a sub-13-second quarter-mile. View Listings 2003 SVT Cobra The final generation of the SVT Cobra had an important task: to make sure that the SVT Cobra was gone but not forgotten, and it did more than deliver on that. Its drivers were granted the use of 390 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from a 4.6-liter supercharged V8, which came through a Tremec T-56 six-speed transmission, which made the Terminator Cobra good for a 4.5 second 0-60 and a limited 155 mph top speed. And when the 2003 SVT Cobra took just 13.01 seconds to cover a quarter-mile, it made sure that the final SVT Cobra would live up to its codename, and terminate its competition. View Listings 2012 Boss 302 Laguna Seca The return of the Boss 302 nameplate in 2012 was nothing if not triumphant. Being a car that had plenty of expectations to live up to, the Boss 302 Laguna Seca Edition came prepared with Ford’s 5-liter Coyote V8 providing 444 horsepower, Recaro seats, deleted rear seats, upgraded suspension and chassis stiffening not only to live up to the Boss name but also to make sure it would be competent on its namesake race track, let alone race tracks in general. With special high performance tires and brakes translating all of that to the road, what you end up with is a 4.2 second 0-60 time, and a sub 12-second quarter mile. View Listings 2013 Shelby GT500 There was a time when traveling at a speed of 200 miles per hour was unthinkable, and there was a time when it was possible, but only with lots of money and lots of effort. With the introduction of the 2013 GT500, Shelby ended both of those eras and started their own by making a Ford Mustang that could top out at 202 mph with a 5-figure price tag. What got them there? A 5.8-liter supercharged V8 engine producing 662 horsepower, all only having to power less than two tons of car. And when it only needs 3.7 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour, the 2013 Shelby GT500 is a car that’s incredible at any speed. View Listings 1967 Shelby GT500 Eleanor Its premise being the grandest of grand theft autos, Gone In 60 Seconds was a movie that featured plenty of amazing cars. There was, however, one classic beauty that was central to the plot and has a lasting legacy for enthusiasts everywhere, and that was the 1967 “Eleanor” Shelby GT500. Since, Eleanor has become one of the most famous Mustangs of all time, with the iconic body of the first-generation Mustang, and a 7-liter V8 that was good for impressive numbers for the late sixties: 355 horsepower, 6.5 seconds for 0-60, and a 15-second quarter mile, putting “performance machine” right under “pop culture icon” on its resume. View Listings 2016 Shelby GT350R The GT350 is a Shelby Mustang that took the Mustang to a world-class level of performance car prowess, and the GT350R took it a level above that. With the 5.2-liter “Voodoo” V8 making 526 horsepower, a 0-60 time of just 3.8 seconds, and a top speed of 190 mph, it’s safe to say that the GT350R is the best modern Mustang, a car that is more than ready to go to bat for Ford and play against peers like the Porsche 911 and the C7 Corvette. And with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, carbon-fiber wheels, and a soaring wing to keep it on the road, the GT350R’s mission is clear from the moment you first see it: speed. View Listings 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake The 2011 GT500 Super Snake is Super indeed, and it’s specs have stood the test of time. With a 5.4-liter supercharged and intercooled V8 producing 800 horsepower, the Super Snake builds on the already formidable GT500, and takes it to an incredible level. On top of all this power, the Super Snake only weighs 3,751 pounds, meaning that it only takes 4.6 seconds to reach 60 mph, and in 12.4 seconds, and 117 mph, you’ve traveled a quarter mile, and who knows what will happen after that? View Listings 1968 Mustang GT Bullitt It’s no secret that ever since its inception, the Mustang was a legendary car, and a celebrity of its own. That’s why the original 1968 Mustang that Steve McQueen drove in the movie Bullitt became the most expensive Mustang to ever be sold, selling for a bid of 3.74 million dollars this past January at Mecum’s Kissimmee Auction. Even besides its permanent legacy, the Bullitt Mustang was a car born out of a car that was, and still is thrilling and lots of fun to drive. 335 horsepower and a 6.3 second 0-60 time thanks to a 6.4-liter V8 are the reason that Mustang fans and car enthusiasts the world over know that at 52, the Bullitt Mustang isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. View Listings 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake If the 2019 Shelby Super Snake’s wide body and bulged hood scoop don’t tell you enough about how intimidating it is, maybe the sound of a 5.2-liter supercharged V8 will. But if you still aren’t convinced, the 2019 Super Snake has numbers that will tell anyone just how intimidating it really is. With 800 horsepower, 625 pound-feet of torque, and a 3.5 second 0-60 time, the Super Snake shows that even 55 years on, the Ford Mustang is still the car to beat when it comes to All-American performance. View Listings 2018 Ford Mustang Roush GT Jackhammer Roush has consistently been an important name when it comes to making Mustangs truly come to life. That’s why it didn’t take much to realize that the 2018 Roush GT Jackhammer was a car to be taken very seriously. What it takes for a Mustang GT to become a Roush GT Jackhammer is a supercharger that takes it to the level of 710 horsepower, as well as tires, suspension, and aero to match. That 710 horsepower takes your 0-60 time right down to 3.6 seconds, and your quarter mile time is less than 11. If fast is what you want, the Roush GT Jackhammer is what you should get. View Listings 2018 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet Drag racing is a celebrated American sport, and it’s been home to some of the greatest feats of engineering in the name of traveling in a straight line as fast as possible. So, what better way to celebrate drag racing and 50 years since the first Cobra Jet, than to make a new Cobra Jet, and make it the fastest drag racing Mustang ever? With 870 horsepower coming from it’s 5.2 liter V8, and the ability to cross a quarter-mile in 8.5 seconds at 150 mph, the 2018 Cobra Jet is nothing if not a celebration and a continuation of a heritage of pure performance. View Listings 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT-H The GT-H has always been a coveted and rare Shelby model. Its classic black and gold harkens back to a promotion done by Hertz Rent-A-Car 54 years ago in 1966. They placed Shelby GT-H cars in airports across the country and let Hertz customers rent them as part of a Rent-A-Racer promotion, and in 2019, a new Shelby GT-H Heritage Package was released with the same look, and a new attitude. With 480 horsepower coming from a 5-liter V8 and a 4.1 second 0-60, we don’t know how safe it would be to let anyone rent a machine like this today. View Listings 2012 Shelby 1000 There are lots of numbers that Shelby has made Mustangs achieve that before people thought were only reserved to the most elite and expensive of supercars and hypercars. In 2012, Shelby shattered expectations again, by making a Mustang with 950 horsepower, a 10 second quarter mile a la Fast and Furious, and the capability to reach the incredible speed of 215 miles per hour. All of this prowess and performance comes from a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine inside a Ford Mustang, and Shelby took both of those things, as they always do, to the absolute max, making the Shelby 1000 just another moment not only for Shelby history but for automotive history in general.

2021 Mustang Mach1 Designers Modernized Classic Details

Reviving an iconic model is no easy task. When the original Mustang Mach1 debuted in 1969, it did so with no compromises. The smallest engine option was a 5.8-liter Windsor, and it arrived with the same aerodynamic, chassis, and styling improvements that were also standard on the monster 7-liter Cobra Jet. Revived for 2003, designers did as much as possible to focus on the 4-Valve engine, with a shaker hood and original-style stripes. Now that the 2021 Mach1 will arrive with the most powerful 5-liter in Ford's history, the livery needed a modern touch. Best Ford Mustangs Of All Time The new graphics are accentuated by Sans Serif, while keeping the lower-case "h". From the lighted door sills to the numbered dash plaque, each Mach1 will be treated to a higher standard than regular production ponies. “When a nameplate like a Mach 1 comes back, you need to play up the heritage, but we didn’t want this to be a retro badge,” said Dean Carbis, Ford chief designer. “We wanted it to be modern, while still calling back to the original. I think the team nailed it.”. You will have 480 horsepower, reinforced strut tower, beefy sway bars and a redline at 7,000 rpm.

Ford & GM Halt Car Production to Build Ventilators

In a scene reminiscent of 1941, our nation's arsenal of democracy has been re-tooled. Instead of building war machines, the automakers are gearing up to build medical apparatus. Both GM & Ford have halted car production to build ventilators, as they are in demand around the nation. Both companies published similar press releases, so I will summarize their finer points for the sake of brevity. First off, GM has partnered with Ventec to increase production of their units. Distribution will be handled by StopTheSpread.org, addressing the highest demand areas immediately. Ford has joined forces with 3M and GE Healthcare and the UAW. In addition to Powered Air-Purifying Respirators, Ford's 3D printers are working 24/7 to make the first run of 100,000 face shields for First Responders. With the might of our autoworkers behind us, we will be in the clear soon. Thank you to everyone involved.

700 horsepower for $39,995 For complete editorial disclosure, there is an old Camaro in my driveway. Nevertheless, life is too short for regrets, so I wouldn't mind having 700 horsepower and a warranty. Brown Lee Ford in Nashville outsells every other Ford Performance dealer in the U.S. year after year, and you are about to see why. They have created something unprecedented by working with Jack Roush to offer 700 horsepower for $39,995. Black 700 HP Supercharged Mustang Automatic For Sale This limited run of 200 cars is the result of extensive testing by Roush Performance and Brown Lee Ford's Master Technicians. The 5.0L Coyote V8 has proven itself capable of making much more power, but this car won't break the bank. Because the blowers are so efficient, fuel mileage doesn't take much of a hit if you are light on the skinny pedal. Performance Vehicle Sales Manager Brock Patterson loaned me one for the Nashville Auto Show, and their comprehensive upgrades are worth much more than the asking price. I asked him how they can offer them at this price, and they lose money on each car. Because they sell so many high-performance Fords, Mr. Lee is willing to take a loss on a supercharged Mustang for sale in order to bring you into the Brown Lee Ford family. Green 700 HP Supercharged Mustang Six-Speed For Sale Choose from examples in the inventory, or order a new Mustang GT with a $1,000 deposit, and it will arrive exactly to your specifications. The car I drove was a six-speed, and it had enough torque to start in 2nd or 3rd gear. With 3.55 gears it will pin you to the seat on the highway without downshifting. All trades are accepted..even Chevys, so tell them where you saw this deal and stay with us for more Brown Lee Ford news. Mustang Inventory " width="680">
