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.

7-Figure Momentum Continues As Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Leads Early March Sales on duPont REGISTRY Live

By Khris Bharath – March 08, 2026

7-Figure Momentum Continues on duPont REGISTRY Live

Since debuting in November 2025, duPont REGISTRY Live has quickly built momentum, with more than 100 automobiles already crossing its digital auction block and several seven-figure results signaling strong engagement from the global collector community. Since the month began, nine cars have already crossed the digital auction block, with five of them being Porsches, led by a 2018 991.2 GT2 RS, showing approximately 4,500 miles. Equipped with the coveted Weissach Package, it fetched $515,550. A single-owner 1994 Guards Red 964 Turbo 3.6 closed at $373,800. Another noteworthy Porsche that sold this week was a 997.1 Turbo, because this was the final Mezger-powered 911 Turbo ever to feature a manual transmission. It sold for $131,775.  <- Gallery -> The headline sale was a 2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 finished in monotone Italian red with a custom Ryft.Co titanium exhaust, forged aftermarket wheels, and 12,618 miles. It closed at $1,387,050, a significant sale as it was not only the second Bugatti hypercar to sell on the platform, but also the second highest seven figure sale after January’s historic sale of the 1-of-60 2023 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Jaune Molsheim Spec of that closed at $4,012,050, the first car on duPont REGISTRY Live to fetch more than one million dollars. Over from Italy, we had a 2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale equipped with the highly desirable Fiorano package with 4,293 miles that closed for $414,750. A 2022 Lamborghini Huracán STO with 9,392 miles, equipped with a professionally installed Boost Logic twin-turbo system delivering 800 horsepower, sold for $394,800. Beyond the mega results, duPont REGISTRY Live also witnessed its first-ever Barchetta listing this past week, a 2021 McLaren Elva finished in a striking shade of MSO Napier Green. With approximately 650 miles on the odometer at the time of documentation, this example is one of just 149 units made worldwide. Currently, the highest bid sits at $980,000. Bidding closes in three days on what will likely be next week’s big seven-figure sale. Besides the Elva, 11 more top-tier exotics, luxury cars, and SUVs are currently being offered on duPont REGISTRY Live. View Listings

Ending Soon: Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and Twin-Turbo Huracán Close Today On duPont REGISTRY Live

Since launching in November 2025, duPont REGISTRY Live has established itself as one of the leading online auction platforms with multiple seven-figure sales, with over 100+ automobiles already crossing the digital block. The platform continues to feature top-tier exotics and luxury cars. Today’s closing lots are both coincidentally from the Volkswagen group, but sit at very different ends of the performance spectrum, and are far from stock. 2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 | ~12k Miles Leading today’s closing lots is a 2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 finished in striking monotone Italian Red with contrasting black highlights, forged aftermarket wheels over a custom red and black Alcantara interior. Showing just 12,618 miles, this hypercar is powered by Bugatti’s legendary Piech-era quad turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 that famously puts out 1,001 horsepower in stock form and pairs with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission and Haldex All Wheel Drive system. When the Veyron debuted, it redefined performance benchmarks with a verified 253 mph top speed at Volkswagen’s Ehra-Lessien test facility. The highlight of this particular example is a Ryft.Co titanium exhaust that reduces weight completely transforms the character of the quad-turbo power plant. It sounds unlike anyother W16 out there. With bidding currently at $1,321,000, and strong engagement from watchers. After the 1-of-60 Jaune Molsheim Spec Pur Sport, this rare, solid red Veyron will become the second Bugatti to cross the block on the platform when the auction ends today. View Listing 2022 Lamborghini Huracán STO | Twin Turbo Track Weapon Also closing today is a 2022 Lamborghini Huracán STO finished in Bianco Monocerus with just 9,392 miles. The STO already sits at the top of the Huracán range as Lamborghini’s most track-focused road car, derived directly from the Italian marque’s Super Trofeo race program and engineered around lightweight construction, rear wheel drive, and extreme aerodynamic downforce. What makes this specific example particularly appealing is the professionally installed Boost Logic twin-turbo system that delivers approximately 800 horsepower. For some context, the stock setup offers 630 horsepower. The stock STO packs on a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10, but forced induction pushes output well beyond factory levels while preserving the car’s race-derived chassis systems, including carbon ceramic brakes, rear wheel steering, and center lock wheels. With bidding currently at $356,000, this mid-engine exotic represents a rare fusion of Lamborghini’s motorsport DNA and aftermarket performance taken to hypercar territory. View Listing

Can Am-Inspired McLaren Elva With 653 Miles and MSO Options Lands on duPont REGISTRY Live

Now offered on duPont REGISTRY Live, this 2021 McLaren Elva with just 653 miles and nearly $88,000 in factory MSO upgrades is one of the most unique exotics to surface on the platform. It is also a milestone listing as this is the first-ever barchetta on duPont REGISTRY Live, which offers a 100 percent sell-through rate and a 14-day return policy. Hand assembled at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England, the Elva takes inspiration from McLaren’s legendary Can Am racers of the 1960s that founder Bruce McLaren helped develop. The Elva sits within the British Marque’s highly exclusive 'Ultimate Series' alongside the McLaren P1, McLaren Senna, McLaren Speedtail, and McLaren Solus GT. However, unlike those cars, the Elva removes traditional barriers between driver and the elements, resulting in a retro-inspired form. The highlight of the Elva is its innovative Active Air Management System (AAMS), which directs airflow up and over the cockpit to form a virtual canopy at speed (effective up to 70 mph), working with a full-width active rear spoiler that also functions as an airbrake. Other features unique to the Elva include the instrument binnacle and the tonneau storage for two helmets. The Elva features a reinforced evolution of the MonoCage II carbon fiber chassis from the 720S, engineered to retain rigidity despite the absence of a roof. Its entire carbon fiber body forms from three primary panels, and dry weight sits at just 2,531 pounds, making it the lightest road car McLaren has ever produced. <- Gallery -> Power comes from a rear mid mounted 4.0 liter twin turbocharged V8 derived from the Senna, rated at 804 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. A seven-speed dual clutch transmission sends power to the rear wheels, launching the car to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 203 mph. A quad exit titanium and Inconel exhaust with 3D printed tips ensures you will savor every bit of its mechanical soundtrack. If you attended Cars on 5th recently, where hypercars lined every block, you may have seen not one, but two examples. This Napier Green example presents a more restrained specification, yet it is no less extreme. McLaren originally planned 399 units before cutting production. This example is chassis number 120 of just 149 produced worldwide, of which only about 30 are believed to have been imported into the United States. Along with the likes of the Ferrari Monza SP2 (499 units) and the Aston Martin V12 Speedster (88 units), this Elva presents an opportunity to acquire one of the most significant and rarest modern open-top exotics of the modern era.

duPont REGISTRY Live Records Another Landmark Sale: 1-of-39 Porsche 911 Turbo S Flachbau Hits $1.1 Million

By Khris Bharath – January 21, 2026

duPont REGISTRY Live Records Another Landmark Sale as a 1-of-39 Porsche 911 Turbo S Flachbau Hits $1.1 Million

Just days after duPont REGISTRY Live, the new auctions platform from duPont REGISTRY Group crossed into seven-figure territory with the sale of the 1-of-60 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Jaune Mosheim, the platform delivered yet another defining million-dollar moment, with the sale of a 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S Flachbau. After 99 bids (40 on the final day), the auction closed at $1,103,550, including buyer's premium. This particular example is one of just 39 U.S. market X85 flat-nose coupes ever built, reinforcing the platform’s growing momentum and continuing to actively work with consignors to offer some of the most sought-after automobiles in the collector car world. On the 964 generation, the Turbo S sits at the top of Porsche’s performance car hierarchy, developed through Porsche Exclusive and shaped by motorsport expertise refined alongside Andial. It was conceived as a statement rather than a production model, pairing the most potent version of the 964 Turbo’s powertrain with bespoke coachwork inspired directly by Porsche’s dominant 935 race cars. Power comes from the M64/50S 3.6-liter air-cooled flat-six, which puts out 385 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque, delivered to the rear wheels through a G50 five-speed manual gearbox. In period, this combination placed the Turbo S among the fastest road-going Porsches money could buy, delivering sharper response and a more visceral character than the standard 964 Turbo. What defines this particular example is the X85 Flachbau package, where Porsche replaced the traditional 911 nose with a hand-built slant-nose design featuring pop-up headlights, massive cooling intakes, Turbo S-specific side vents, and the unmistakable whale tail rear spoiler. What resulted was one of the most dramatic factory 911 transformations and one that is becoming increasingly desirable in Porsche circles for its rarity. To give you some context about that rarity, of the 76 total Flachbau Turbo S models built across X83, X84, and X85 specifications, just 39 were U.S. market X85 coupes. <- Gallery -> The specification elevates this Guards Red example, which includes Factory Porsche Exclusive options such as carbon fiber dash trim, power-adjustable bucket seats, a center console with a period car phone, distinctive stitching, and bespoke interior appointments. Each was effectively hand-assembled, making no two cars exactly alike and placing this model well above later Turbos in terms of rarity and craftsmanship. As values of air-cooled Porsches continue to climb and separate the exceptional from the merely desirable, the 964 Turbo S Flachbau sits firmly at the very top, as demonstrated with this sale and validated by duPont REGISTRY Garage App’s dRi predicted value. Several top-tier exotics have already sold on duPont REGISTRY Live, which offers a 14-day return policy and a 100% sell-through rate, giving you confidence before you place a bid. We currently have several exciting cars, including not one, but two celebrity-owned automobiles, that are set to close soon, along with plenty more coming before the end of the month.

$4 Million Milestone: duPont REGISTRY Live Records Its First Seven-Figure Auction Sale

duPont REGISTRY Live, the new auctions platform from duPont REGISTRY Group, has officially crossed a major milestone. Our team is incredibly proud to announce that in just two months since the Platform launched, in mid-November last year, we have closed our very first sale to cross the million-dollar mark, a 2023 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport. The highest bid reached $3,821,000, and after two weeks and 70+ bids, the final transaction price, including the buyer’s premium, settled at $4,012,050. That figure landed within striking distance of the duPont REGISTRY Garage App’s dRi predicted value of $4.06 million at the time of listing, validating both the car and the market. duPont REGISTRY Index is a high-end vehicle valuation and market-tracking tool focused exclusively on the luxury, exotic, and collector car space – often described as the Kelley Blue Book for six- and seven-figure automobiles. Finished in the historically significant Jaune Molsheim spec, this Chiron Pur Sport is one of just 60 made, which makes it even more exclusive with the Chiron’s overall limited production run of 500 units. The Nocturne paint with Giallo Midas accents over a Beluga Black interior directly references founder Ettore Bugatti’s own yellow-and-black personal car, tying in this exquisite modern-hypercar with the French marque's rich historical provenance. We’ve extensively touched on this track-focused W16-powered Chiron Pur Sport that packs 1,500 horsepower and 218 mph top speed, but what sets this particular example apart is its exhaustive list of factory options, adding up to $234k. The Sky View Roof ($62k) and the Giallo Tarus Pur Sport Interior Package ($60k) on their own amount to over half that figure. Other highlights include exposed carbon fiber throughout, with carbon lower body parts, carbon fiber door panels, carbon fiber interior trim, and carbon fiber rear wing. <- Gallery -> It is worth noting that we previously came close to a seven-figure sale in December with a 964 Porsche 911 Targa reimagined by Singer, but this Chiron Pur Sport, which is coincidentally also the first hypercar that we’ve listed, finally made it happen and is a landmark moment for the platform. Several top-tier exotics have already sold on duPont REGISTRY Live, which offers a 14-day return policy and a 100% sell-through rate, giving you confidence before you place a bid. We currently have several exciting cars, including not one, but two celebrity-owned automobiles, that are set to close soon, along with plenty more coming before the end of the month.

duPont REGISTRY Live: Last Chance to Bid on 1-of-60 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Jaune Molsheim

Our team is ecstatic and eagerly awaiting a landmark moment with great anticipation, because in just over 24 hours, our all-new auctions platform, duPont REGISTRY Live, will finally cross into seven-figure territory, with the sale of the 2023 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport, the very first Hypercar listed on the platform. Unique to our platform, duPont REGISTRY Live also offers a 14-day return policy and a 100% sell-through rate, giving you confidence before you place a bid. Showing just 6,848 miles and single ownership from California, this particular example is one of just 60 Pur Sports built for the entire world and is finished in the historically significant Jaune Molsheim specification and Beluga black interior. The yellow and black combination directly references founder Ettore Bugatti and his personal cars. The example seen here packs an extensive list of factory options that amounts to a staggering $234,300. Highlights include a Sky View roof ($62k), Pur Sport interior in Giallo Taurus, Nocturne-painted engine cover, black-coated exhaust deflector, and extensive Giallo Midas detailing and more. Unlike much of the Chiron range that focuses on outright speed, with the Pur Sport, the focus is on handling, lap times, and performance on the race track. Bugatti shortened the gear ratios by 15 percent, recalibrated the 7-speed dual clutch, and revised the all-wheel-drive system to sharpen throttle response and corner exit. Power still sits at 1,500 horsepower and 1,180 pound-feet of torque from the glorious Piëch-era quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W16. 60 mph takes under 2.5 seconds, but top speed is capped at 218 mph, so engineers could focus on control. Chassis changes are substantial. Spring rates jump 65 percent up front and 33 percent at the rear. Camber and stability control are retuned for aggressive driving. Aero revisions, including a fixed rear wing and enlarged splitter, generate up to 1,654 pounds of downforce. duPont REGISTRY Live has already seen a Porsche 911 Targa reimagined by Singer bid to just under seven figures. This Pur Sport raises that bar, and for those seeking a modern Bugatti defined by driver engagement, documented rarity, and historically correct specification, this is your last chance to bid on this track-bred Chiron.
