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.

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift Mazda RX-7 Sells fo...

The Veilside Mazda RX-7 from Tokyo Drift just sold for $1.2M at Bonhams. Here’s why this iconic JDM car remains a cultural and collector favorite. A fan-favorite car from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift just made auction history. Bonhams recently sold the iconic Veilside Fortune-bodied 1992 Mazda RX-7 FD for a jaw-dropping $1.2 million at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, shocking even seasoned bidders and collectors. Known for its legendary wide-body design, aggressive stance, and pearlescent orange paint, the RX-7 played a supporting role in the film but a leading one in the hearts of Mazda FD fanatics. Used for static and stunt shots rather than drifting, this specific car was driven by the character Han (played by Sung Kang) and remains one of just two surviving examples from the 2006 film. Commissioned by Universal Studios and built by Japan's Veilside Co. Ltd, this RX-7 sports the signature Fortune wide-body kit, adding more than 7 inches of width, and rides on 19-inch Andrew Premier Racing wheels. Underneath lies a twin-rotor turbocharged engine tuned by RE-Amemiya, delivering about 280 horsepower to the rear wheels. Unlike many film-used cars that get thrashed during production, this example was preserved in exceptional condition, featuring original Universal Studios labels, a rebuilt drivetrain, and a lavish, film-correct interior equipped with Veilside bucket seats, an Alpine sound system, and a NOS bottle for looks. Beyond the auction spotlight, the RX-7's sale emphasizes a growing trend: the rise of JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) classics in both value and cultural relevance. Cars once associated with underground street racing and tuner culture are now becoming high-dollar collectibles. The Fast & Furious franchise, particularly Tokyo Drift, played a major role in popularizing Japanese cars globally, turning models like the RX-7, Nissan Skyline GT-R, and Toyota Supra into pop-culture icons. Today, those same cars are celebrated at concours events, preserved in private collections, and traded at values once reserved for European exotics. For enthusiasts and collectors, the $1.2 million RX-7 is a time capsule of early-2000s car culture, movie nostalgia, and the tuning scene's influence. Its sale at Goodwood confirms that movie cars with the right provenance and preservation can reach incredible heights. And for fans of Tokyo Drift, it's a reminder that a car built for the screen can still carry significance nearly two decades later. View All Bonhams Inventory Source: Bonhams

Lewis Hamilton & Jenson Button's Former McLarens Up For A...

This is the chance to own groundbreaking supercars owned by racing legends. With over 60 years of history, not only does McLaren create a celebrated lineup of supercars, but it also has incredible racing heritage, being one of the few names in the world decorated in Formula 1, endurance racing, and IndyCar. However, its second road car, and the car that arguably began McLaren’s modern era of supercar manufacturing, was the MP4-12C, a model that introduced highly innovative chassis technology and McLaren’s celebrated twin-turbo V8 powertrain, derivatives of which are still used today in McLaren’s supercars and hypercars which push the boundaries of automotive performance. Two racing legends, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, both of whom are Formula 1 World Champions, are among the list of owners of McLaren MP4-12C, and at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este auction from Broad Arrow Auctions, the examples of the McLaren MP4-12C that they once owned are up for auction. The auction is an opportunity to own two examples of one of the most influential supercars of its time, and specifically examples that were owned by two of the world’s greatest racing superstars. Hamilton’s car was configured by himself at McLaren’s factory, and features various carbon fiber options, the Stealth Pack, and optional Satin Dark Grey wheels, as well as the swipe door feature seen on early examples. Meanwhile, Jenson Button, who was involved in the car’s development, had an Elite White painted example, which is actually his second car, as the first was given back to McLaren for development. The interior is featured in Harissa Red and black leather. Both are stunning examples of a revolutionary supercar, owned by some of the greatest names in the racing world, and they’re looking for new owners as part of Broad Arrow’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este sale.

Mecum Auctions x West Coast Customs Auction Custom Cars F...

Mecum Auctions and West Coast Customs are teaming up for a special cause this May at Dana Mecum's 38th Original Spring Classic in Indianapolis. Ryan Friedlinghaus, the creative force behind West Coast Customs, is putting five of his personal rides on the auction block, and it's all for charity. The proceeds from the sales will go toward the West Coast Customs Academy in Los Angeles, a nonprofit that gives aspiring custom auto builders the training and tools they need to turn passion into a career. It's not every day you see a world-renowned customizer donate some of his prized cars, but this is all about investing in the next generation of car builders. The collection hitting the auction block is as absurd and diverse as you'd expect from the mind of Friedlinghaus. First up is a 1997 Toyota 4Runner built by the 2024 class of the Academy, showing off custom air suspension, billet wheels, and detailed pinstriping. Then there's a street-legal NASCAR-style 2022 Toyota Camry 23XI with a bespoke aero package, a 2006 Dodge Charger that pays homage to the General Lee with a modern twist, and a 2012 Volkswagen Passat that glows red from every angle. The highlight is a Star Trek-inspired 2018 Slingshot customized with a 3D hood, custom Lexani wheels, and U.S.S. Discovery highlights. What makes this event so meaningful is the mission behind it. West Coast Customs Academy gives real-world experience to students who dream of building wild rides like the ones on display. Mecum's long-standing commitment to community causes pairs perfectly with Friedlinghaus's goal to make automotive education more accessible. Whether you're a collector, a fan of custom cars, or just into giving back, this auction brings it all together under one roof. Source: Mecum Auctions

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.
