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.

RM Sotheby's Set To Auction Michael Schumacher's 2006 Scu...

A chance to own a piece of F1 history. Throughout Formula 1's illustrious history, more than 777 drivers have graced racing grids worldwide to compete at the highest level of motorsport. Of those who have dedicated their lives to the sport, a few names carry monumental significance among past, present, and future fans of F1. Alongside icons like Ayrton Senna and Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher established legendary status with a 19-year career that includes a record-setting seven Formula One World Drivers' Championship titles. The 2006 F1 season stands out as Schumacher's most memorable, as it was his last year racing for Scuderia Ferrari F1 before retiring for the first time. To this day, the Schumacher name echoes throughout the halls of the team's HQ in Maranello with trophies, race cars, and other accolades that honor the former German racing driver. Today, the auction professionals at RM Sotheby's are proud to announce the upcoming sale of Michael Schumacher's 2006 Ferrari 248 F1 as part of its event in New York City. The 2006 Ferrari 248 became part of Schumacher’s five incredible Grand Prix wins during his last season with Ferrari, including memorable victories at San Marino, the European Grand Prix, and his final home win in Germany. For Schumacher fans and F1 memorabilia collectors, this is a piece of racing history loaded with achievements and milestones that made Schumacher’s career so legendary. What makes this Ferrari 248 F1 even more special? For starters, it’s the exact car Schumacher drove to break Ayrton Senna’s record for pole positions and achieve his final career pole and win. This example is also Ferrari Classiche certified, meaning it retains all its original, matching parts, just as it was back in 2006. With Scuderia Ferrari's V8 capable of hitting an impressive 20,000 rpm, the 248 chassis represents an era of raw power and peak performance limits in racing that we'll never witness again. Notably, it’s been in private ownership since 2007, meaning it’s preserved some serious Ferrari magic. If you’re a collector or just love the excitement of F1 racing, RM Sotheby's will be auctioning the iconic F1 car on November 14. A rare chance to connect with Schumacher’s legacy, it’s not every day that a car like this comes along.

Five Cars Bringing the Heat to RM Sotheby’s 2024 Miami Au...

Perhaps the only thing hotter in Miami right now may be the cars on offer at RM Sotheby’s 2024 Miami Auction. The now two-day sale, part of the company’s inaugural car exhibition event, ModaMiami, will see 125 lots cross the block, consisting of everything from desirable blue-chip collectibles, incredibly hot sports cars and hypercars, classics and retro youngtimer vehicles, to boats, a plane, and more. Car connoisseurs and collectors can look to add to their garages at the auction’s Friday and Saturday events, 1-2 March, and plan to see even more remarkable vehicles—over 200 more of them, on Saturday and Sunday, 2-3 March, as part of the ModaMiami automotive exhibition festivities. Miami is its own paradise, but the Miami Auction and ModaMiami event makes for a paradise for the car enthusiast. Here’s just a small taste of what will cross the block in Miami next month. 2010 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport ‘Sang Bleu’ The names Bugatti and Veyron already hold high esteem and admiration in car enthusiast crowds, especially for those interested in fast cars or hypercars. And while the Bugatti Veyron hypercar, in itself, is already a machine incredibly limited in quantity, this particular example, the 2010 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport ‘Sang Bleu’, is the only one that was ever produced. This “one of one” Veyron was built to be a one-off show car for Bugatti, which debuted at Pebble Beach in 2009 for the marque’s 100th anniversary. Built around its 8.0-liter W-16 engine, Bugatti opted to dress this particular Veyron in a unique exterior—the color here is not paint. Rather, it’s made of unfinished materials: specifically carbon fiber treated in royal blue, and the rest in a beautifully polished aluminum. The unique choice of finish was decided to honor Bugatti’s rich French racing history and the French Racing Blue worn by those cars, and thus the ‘Sang Bleu’, translating to “Blue Blood,” was born. See More on the ‘Sang Bleu’ 2018 Bugatti Chiron Another round of Bugatti French Racing Blue, but this time in the form of the just as elusive Chiron model. The Chiron, named for legendary Bugatti works racing driver Louis Chiron, would be the successor to the Veyron, made to be even more impressive, more powerful, and more everything compared to its preceding sibling. The body shape was further refined, and the drivetrain would gain larger two-stage turbochargers and catalytic converters, along with an all-new titanium exhaust system. This new configuration packed a punch of 1,479 horsepower. When mated to an adaptive Haldex all-wheel-drive system and seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle, the Chiron was more a rocket ship, launching from 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds, and fast enough to have an electronically limited top speed at 261 mph. Learn More about the Chiron 2015 McLaren P1 A new hypercar era dawned in the 2010s, and with it brought a trio of especially spectacular cars that would rule the streets in the modern era. Their names? The Ferrari LaFerrari, Porsche 918 Spyder, and the McLaren P1. McLaren’s P1 was McLaren’s answer to raising the benchmark on its sports cars. The P1 was almost otherworldly, built with a monocoque chassis that weighed as little as 200 pounds, all surrounded by carbon fiber panels to keep the car incredibly lightweight. The weight reduction was helpful considering the P1 was powered by a hybrid system consisting of a mid-mounted 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-8, paired with an electric motor that was utilized to torque-fill gaps during shifts or at lower rpms that its combustion engine would experience. In turn, the 717 horsepower engine with the electric motor’s output of 176 horsepower combined for an impressive 893 horsepower output. This example, number 117 of only 350 P1s made, is particularly rare, presenting with only 19 miles on the odometer. Learn More About This Low-Mileage P1 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista Coupe and 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista Spider In a world where the name Ferrari still means something incredibly special, there are few things that can make something that special even more special. But in this instance, this particular pairing is something to behold for car and Ferrari enthusiasts alike: a 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista Coupe optioned through Ferrari’s Tailor Made program, tailor made with a twin in the form of a 488 Pista Spider. The Coupe and Spider “set” are believed to be the only pairing ever designed to match. Both are finished in Rosso Maranello and hand-painted dream lines on the carbon fiber side skirts, rear diffuser, and paddle shifters. Much like the other vehicles featured in this article, you’ll find hordes of power under the hood with the Pista’s 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V-8. Both cars will be offered separately, without reserve, but why split up such a beautiful family? Learn More About the 488 Pista Coupe Learn More About the 488 Pista Spider

1992 Ferrari F40 Being Auctioned At Mecum Kissimmee 2023

Image with size : Presented by Mecum Auctions. 1992 Ferrari F40 Being Auctioned At Mecum Kissimmee 2023 Introduced on July 21, 1987, to a gathering of the world motoring press by Enzo Ferrari himself, the Ferrari F40 was the final supercar commissioned by Il Commendatore before his passing in 1988. The successor to the 288 GTO, it was named to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the great Italian carmaker and has gained in stature in the interim as one of the purest distillations of the Ferrari mystique. No. 179 of a total of 213 built to U.S. market specifications, F40 No. 92189 is a sensational offering wearing iconic Rosso Corsa over a red and gray interior, with an odometer reading of 10,994 miles. The F40’s coachwork was designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti employing contemporary Ferrari Formula 1 practice in its construction, which comprised a combination of carbon fiber composites, Kevlar and Nomex, the same materials that form its rigid yet lightweight chassis. The vented Plexiglas backlight showcases the snarling matching-numbers 2936cc DOHC V-8 engine, which packs twin water-cooled IHI turbochargers, air-to-air intercoolers, four valves per cylinder, sequential fuel injection and a Weber-Marelli management system to produce 478 HP at 7,000 RPM and 425 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 through a gated 5-speed gearbox. The all-independent suspension and brakes are likewise F1-bred, using double wishbones with coilover shock absorbers, rack-and-pinion steering, ventilated and cross-drilled rotors, and lightweight aluminum calipers. Pirelli P-Zero Assimetrico tires on factory wheels complete the car’s underpinnings with a major contribution to its incredible handling. A unique feature of this exceptional F40 is its Tubi exhaust system, which was specially tuned for this car; a crated factory exhaust system is included should the future owner wish to return it to original fitment. The car’s in-depth documentation shows an official factory build start date of November 26, 1991. It was completed on January 10, 1992, and reportedly seen on the F40 assembly line by expert Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, who contributed a detailed report to complement the accompanying Ferrari Classiche Red Book. Offered with the original books in a leather case and the all-important tool roll, the car comes with a detailed service history including a no-expense-spared engine and gearbox restoration completed January 26, 2022, by the Ferrari specialists at Evans Automotive in Columbus, Ohio. This vehicle will be offered at MECUM Auctions annual Kissimmee Florida, The World's Largest Collector Car Auction®, along with almost 4,000 cars and thousands of Road Art items.
