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.

New Aston Martin DBX GT Refines Its Most Powerful SUV

For Aston Martin, performance and luxury have never been mutually exclusive. The new DBX GT takes that philosophy in a more restrained direction, pairing the fabled British marque’s high-performance SUV credentials with a heightened focus on comfort, craftsmanship and everyday refinement. Positioned alongside the performance-focused DBX S, the DBX GT expands the Aston Martin SUV range with what the marque describes as its highest levels of luxury, comfort and finesse. Rather than emphasizing sporting aggression, its design and engineering are intended to deliver a quieter, more elegant character while retaining the dynamic capability for which the DBX is renowned. Aston Martin CEO Adrian Hallmark describes the philosophy: “DBX GT is aimed at customers who prefer assured elegance over sporting aggression and demand a higher degree of luxury. By refining the visual drama and elevating the interior with new elements of craftsmanship, the DBX GT delivers a true ultra-luxury experience; one which comes with no sacrifice in performance.” A More Discreet Expression The DBX GT’s exterior has been comprehensively revised to emphasize the SUV’s proportions and presence while creating a more understated visual identity. At the front is a new double-vaned grille, available in bright or dark finishes. Split metal grille vanes continue into the separate outer vents, incorporating the daytime running lights and extending the horizontal visual plane to create a greater sense of volume through the lower front bumper. Along the flanks, a new two-piece metal side strake introduces contrasting polished and satin finishes inspired by traditional watchmaking techniques. The treatment provides a more intricate interpretation of one of Aston Martin’s signature design elements. The lower front bumper, sills and rear diffuser are painted in the body color as standard, reinforcing the DBX GT’s more elegant character. A new 22-inch forged wheel features a Satin Titanium diamond-turned finish and is paired with an all-season tire as standard. The combination has been selected to maximize ride compliance and minimize road noise. Customers seeking a more assertive appearance and greater emphasis on performance can specify the optional 23-inch wheel and tire package. At the rear, new quad exhaust finishers are arranged in horizontal pairs to emphasize the width of the lower body. Bright-polished outer surfaces contrast with satin-anodized inner sections, creating a sculptural detail that underscores the DBX GT’s performance credentials. The design philosophy is deliberately different from that of the DBX S, as its Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman explains: “Aston Martin is uniquely placed to combine ultra-luxury and performance. All our cars combine both, but each car finds a different balance, both visually and dynamically. With DBX GT we have taken a more discreet approach. One which downplays its outright performance and instead exudes a quiet charisma. Elegantly understated, yet safe in the knowledge it possesses the same performance and class-leading dynamics expected of a DBX.” Crafted for Comfort Inside, the DBX GT moves further toward the ultra-luxury experience through revised seating, richer materials and a greater emphasis on acoustic refinement. The front and rear seats have been redesigned with enhanced cushioning, redefined bolstering and carefully engineered comfort curves intended to balance dynamic support with everyday usability. A 10-millimeter-thick memory foam layer has been added to the cushion structure, while sculptural changes to the bolsters increase both lateral support and comfort. Bespoke embroidery details further distinguish the new seat forms. The rear cabin receives an especially significant transformation. A new individual rear-seat layout uses two sculpted seating positions with extended headrests and bolsters, bringing the rear environment closer to the design language of the front seats while increasing lateral support for longer journeys. The standard panoramic glass roof fills the cabin with natural light, further enhancing the rear environment. Material selection is equally central to the DBX GT’s character. Anodized metal controls provide a jewelry-quality finish, while GT-specific monotone, duotone and tritone upholstery combinations are complemented by intricate quilting, perforation and complex embroidery patterns unique to the model. Semi-aniline leather and deep-pile floor mats add further layers of tactile richness. The level of craftsmanship is particularly apparent in the seats. Aston Martin says each front seat incorporates 691 meters of thread and 3,297 perforation holes, requiring more than four and a half hours of craftsmanship during construction. A Quieter Cabin Luxury in the DBX GT extends beyond materials and visual detailing. Aston Martin has also focused heavily on the acoustic character of the cabin. Targeted improvements to the body structure and cabin sealing are designed to minimize the transmission of road, wind and traffic noise. Sound-deadening materials have been precisely positioned within the door panels, front and rear wheel-arch areas and rear load space, while acoustic-laminated rear side glass further isolates the occupants from the outside world. Deep-pile carpeting contributes to both acoustic isolation and the cabin's sense of opulence. The result is a claimed 13% improvement in Articulation Index, an automotive industry measure of how easily occupants can hold a conversation while a vehicle is moving. Whether speaking with passengers, making a telephone call, or listening to the Bowers & Wilkins audio system, Aston Martin says the DBX GT provides a quieter and more relaxing cabin environment. Effortless Performance The DBX GT may prioritize refinement, but Aston Martin has not diluted its performance credentials. Power comes from the bespoke 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 introduced on the DBX S. The engine produces 727 PS and 900 Nm of torque, with its shared turbocharger technology derived from the mid-engine Valhalla supercar. Performance figures remain identical to the DBX S: 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 193 mph. Carbon-ceramic brakes measuring 420 mm at the front and 390 mm at the rear provide braking performance to match, while a faster steering ratio improves agility and responsiveness. The turning circle remains 12 meters for urban maneuverability. The chassis has received a more comprehensive series of refinements. Revised damper calibration and a unique damper valve system are designed to improve ride compliance over poor surfaces while maintaining body control during dynamic driving. The new internal damper valves manage oil flow during high-frequency, low-amplitude inputs such as coarse road surfaces and rumble strips, helping filter unwanted vibrations before they reach the cabin. Spring rates also vary according to the selected drive mode, actively changing the roll-stiffness balance through corners to enhance grip and steering response. Refined Response Aston Martin has also recalibrated the DBX GT’s throttle response to provide a greater sense of precision and control. Each input is intended to produce an exact, proportionate response from the powertrain. The nine-speed wet-clutch automatic transmission receives further calibration to improve shift consistency and smoothness across everything from low-speed urban driving to full-throttle performance. Technology developed through the Valhalla program has also influenced the DBX GT. A new transmission mount bush increases mounting stiffness to better manage movement between the transmission and body, while two new longitudinal dampers further optimize the connection between the body and rear subframe. The changes are particularly relevant during larger suspension events, including potholes, sharp crests, and severe compressions. The standard 22-inch wheels are paired with Pirelli Scorpion Zero All-Season tires to further improve low-speed ride refinement and compliance. The optional 23-inch setup can be specified with either Pirelli P-Zero Summer or Scorpion Zero All-Season tires. Even the exhaust note has been reconsidered. A dedicated exhaust tune uses double mixing of gas flow within the rear muffler to eliminate harsh metallic frequencies and produce a cleaner, richer tone. In GT mode, the exhaust maintains a discreet character, while Sport and Sport+ modes restore its full voice when performance driving takes priority. Quietly Aston Martin The DBX GT represents a distinct interpretation of the Aston Martin performance SUV. Where the DBX S emphasizes sporting aggression, the GT focuses on discretion, craftsmanship, acoustic comfort and effortless performance. The result is what Aston Martin calls its most refined and understated interpretation of the DBX – an SUV designed to combine ultra-luxury and performance without forcing the owner to choose between the two. First deliveries of the Aston Martin DBX GT are scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026. View All Aston Martin DBX for Sale Images: Aston Martin

Aston Martin Debuts The New DBX S As The Next Generation ...

The DBX continues it legacy as Aston Martin's entry into the super-SUV segment. Performance SUVs have overtaken the automotive world, combining supercar power with everyday practicality. Even the top supercar brands have had to step in, reimagining their DNA to create spacious, high-horsepower super-SUVs. For Aston Martin and its involvement as a pioneer in the industry, the DBX paved a new path in 2019 as its first-ever SUV model, attracting a whole new community of owners who enjoy daily driving their supercars. After six successful years of the DBX, including the addition of the track-inspired DBX707, Aston Martin is back to announce the arrival of the newest flagship SUV, the DBX S. View All Aston Martin DBXs For Sale The Aston Martin DBX S takes the familiar shape of the DBX707 and dials in bold styling characteristics for a sharper look. Up front, the black vaned grille with a polycarbonate honeycomb option is drawn from the DBS 770 Ultimate. Updated aero like the splitter and diffuser reinforces the clean but aggressive look, while side skirts with functional air splitters help manage air travel. Optional carbon fiber trim for the mirror caps and strakes adds a precise touch, and the ‘S’ badge on the fenders signals its performance intent without going over the top. For those after a bit more substance in the details, lightweight magnesium wheels and a carbon fiber roof reduce weight and lower the center of gravity. Step inside, and the DBX S continues to focus on purposeful luxury. The overall layout remains familiar to Aston Martin, but subtle updates improve the experience. A bespoke in-house infotainment system sits at the center, and the material options reflect the balance between sport and luxury. Reduced weight carries over here too, including the option for lighter trim elements like a new honeycomb grille design. The seating position, feedback from controls, and visual updates suggest the DBX S wants to be driven with intent, not just cruised in comfort. Under the hood, things get more interesting. Borrowing turbo technology from the upcoming Valhalla, the upgraded twin-turbo 4.0L V8 now makes 717 horsepower, with quicker throttle response and a 0-62 mph sprint of just 3.3 seconds. An optional modified exhaust system highlights the V8’s natural sound, while the DBX S’s lighter weight and updated gearbox tuning sharpen the overall drive. The advanced all-wheel-drive system varies torque split dynamically and is paired with recalibrated air suspension and roll control. This is less about topping charts and more about how connected it feels on the road, which might be where the DBX S finds its biggest win. View All Aston Martin DBXs For Sale Source: Aston Martin

Aston Martin's engine is particularly well-tuned, giving the DBX a distinct character with its snappy mid-range and robust top-end.

The DBX 707 comes with a wider front grille, new air intakes, an all-new DRL design, brake cooling ducts, and a revised front splitter profile are all part of the new front-end styling. DBX 707 weight of 4,940 lbs, is suitable at slow and top speeds. The rear end is similarly exciting. A new lip spoiler on the roof wing has been added to reduce lift and boost high-speed stability, with a much-expanded twin rear diffuser rising to join the huge quad exhaust system. It is coated in satin black to compliment the diffuser's gloss black appearance. The rear-end alterations are completed with a new rear bumper with incorporated quarter panel vents. Interior The used Aston Martin DBX 707 interior is filled with Alcantara, premium leather, soft-touch surfaces, and a micro suede headliner. This SUV includes a 12.3-inch digital gauge display, three-zone climate control, configurable ambient lighting, and heated front and rear seats as standard equipment. You can also opt for optional features, which include a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, and a range of even more luxurious inside components. There is much room in the backseat, including enough head and knee room for adults. There's also plenty of cargo capacity, with 22 cubic feet and 54 cubic feet when the back seats are folded. Ride and Handling As previously said, the DBX707 Aston Martin SUV is about more than just increased power; practically everything about handling the ride has been upgraded. The rear e-diff makes it easier for the car to rotate into and out of bends, while a re-calibrated center differential and yaw angle sensor allow almost all of the power to travel to the back wheels and stay there. What stands out, however, is the incredible grip on curvy roads. Pricing The US Aston Martin DBX 707 price starts at $236,000, excluding the $3,086 destination charge. The standard specification is reasonably priced. However, the cost of options will certainly increase. Although it may be costly, when you play in this league, it's more about uniqueness, style, and how it makes you feel. Verdict Buyers will discover that not only is the car's handling and sports nature increased when driven hard, but the ride comfort and refinement are also improved at cruising speed. These DBX 707 specs make it the ultimate DBX and one of the best all-around SUVs ever.
