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.

If you are looking for a great location for anything automotive, the Petersen Museum should be at the top of your list. With over 100 cars & bikes on display, it was the setting for RM Sotheby's auction last weekend. The results are in, and we see a few new trends in the industry. 10th Place- 1965 Lamborghini 350 GT $555,000 9th Place- 2018 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Villa d'Este $637,000 David Bush ©2018 Courtesy of RM Sotheby's 8th Place- 2005 Porsche Carrera GT $775,000 Karissa Hosek ©2018 Courtesy of RM Sotheby's 7th Place- 1972 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Berlinetta $775,000 ©2018 Courtesy of RM Sotheby's 6th Place- 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing $1,270,000 Darin Schnabel ©2018 Courtesy of RM Sotheby's 5th Place- 2015 McLaren P1 $1,435,000 Motorcar Studios ©2018 Courtesy of RM Sotheby's 4th Place- 2018 Porsche 918 Weissach Spyder $1,534,000 3rd Place- 1989 Ferrari F40- $1,545,000 Motorcar Studios ©2018 Courtesy of RM Sotheby's 2nd Place- 1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV for $2,205,000 Karissa Hosek ©2018 Courtesy of RM Sotheby's And in 1st place was Lot 24, a Classiche-certified 1956 Ferrari 290 MM.

2015 Ferrari Sergio Heading To RM Monaco

Enzo Ferrari raced cars. That's where he focused his company, building the ultimate race team "Scuderia Ferrari." While he eventually relented to building street legal cars, the program was simply a way to make money to go racing. That's why he entrusted the design and completion of them to Sergio Pininfarina.Aside from a handful of Ferraris built by other shops, Pininfarina styled every car up to the 458 Speciale. His son Andrea passed away in 2008, and Sergio followed him in 2012. These coachbuilding masters were among the last of their generation. Laws regarding the impact and the quest for aerodynamics have nearly killed the 3rd-party designers. But Ferrari knew they owed the old man for a lifetime of building their beautiful cars, so they built 6 examples of the Ferrari Sergio, which are loosely based on the 458 Spider.Our friends at RM Sotheby's like to offer the rarest cars ever made, so the Sergio will be a primetime lot at the Monaco auction. Owned by a Swiss collector, it has only accrued 200km since new. It will find a new owner in Monaco on May12th, so click on the link below to register, and stay with us for more rare Ferraris.View Details

RM Sotheby’s Announces Porsche 70th Anniversary Sale

It has been seven decades since Dr. Porsche built 48 cars by hand in Gmünd, Austria. The first examples of the Porsche 356 were based on his father's Volkswagen designs, for which he was imprisoned in France for supporting the German war effort. Dealers were enamored with the nimble sports car, and they quickly signed up to sell Porsches. These agreements allowed the son to get his father out of France, and the rest is history.RM Auctions Returns to Fort LauderdaleTo celebrate 70 years of Porsche, RM Sotheby's has announced a unique opportunity.

Ayrton Senna's 1993 McLaren Heading To Bonhams Monaco

It has been a quarter-century since the 1993 Monaco Grand Prix. First place went to none other than Ayrton Senna, and his winning ride is heading to auction. Bonhams found the car in pristine condition, and this McLaren MP4/A8 is ready to race. Powered by Ford's Cosworth V8, it made Renault's V10 look like a Yugo. Chassis #6 was raced in 8 races in 1993, making use of active suspension technology found under every McLaren Super Series of today. Learn Everything About the New McLaren Senna It was his 6th Monaco win, which broke Graham Hill's record from 1969. Other notable finishes for this car are 4th at Magny-Cours, Hockenheim, and Spa. He was in 3rd place at Silverstone and ran out of gas, which resulted in 5th place. It was these McLarens that unseated Ferrari on the world stage. His grace behind the wheel and charisma in front of the fans will never be equaled. He left us far too soon, but his memory will live on in machines like these. Our only wish is for the winning bidder to fire it up every once in awhile. To see the car before the auction, it will be on display at the Grand Palais in Paris from February 6th to 8th. If you need more McLarens in your life, Bonhams Monaco Auction will take place May 11th, so click the link below for all the details and tell us your favorite Senna story below. View Details

2017 Ford GT Sells For $2.5 Million At Barrett-Jackson

In order to get a feel for the value of exotic and collectible cars, Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale Auction sets the pace. As one of the most anticipated cars in recent history, the latest Ford GT has made news for a few reasons. The first is that it uses a twin-turbo V6 instead of a traditional V8. The second source of intrigue is a contract between Ford and their customers.First 2019 Mustang Bullitt Sells Big for CharityIn order to cut out investors looking to make a quick buck by flipping their new car, Ford has first right of refusal. Those who have not heeded this warning have been targeted by Dearborn's legal department. But of course, this doesn't apply to charity. Our friend Ron Pratte is an avid collector of all things automotive, and he chose to donate his 2017 GT last weekend in Scottsdale. Car #23 was ordered in Liquid Blue with a black interior.With only 11 miles on the odometer, it rolled onto the block to benefit the Evernham Family's Racing For A Reason Foundation. They are donating 100% the proceeds to Autism Society of North Carolina, who's IGNITE program helps educate young adults with Autism or Asperger's syndrome. This noble cause launched a frenzy of bidding, with the hammer dropping at $2.5 Million. Kudos to Craig Jackson, Steve Davis, Ron Pratte & Ray Evernham for making this happen. This is the first auction of a 3rd Generation Ford GT, and it looks like they will be just as prolific as their predecessors.

Aston Martin DBR1 Breaks Records At Monterey

Race cars are sometimes tricky to sell. Owning and driving them requires mechanical aptitude and patience, traits that some collectors are not willing to endure. But if production was limited to only 5 cars, it completely changes the situation.David Brown bought Aston Martin in 1947, and his line of high-performance luxury cars was named with his initials. One of his famous racers, the DB3S was based on a street-legal car, as per regulations at the time. But a change to the rulebook for 1956 allowed for competitors to build race-only cars. The DBR1 was the first Aston Martin specifically built as a race car. Only five cars were produced, and they brought home numerous wins. The prototype was this car "DBR1/1", and it won the 1,000 km of Nürburgring in 1959. After a complete restoration, it has also become the most expensive British car ever sold. At RM Sotheby's Monterey auction, it hammered for $22,550,000. From the light alloy body to a futuristic 5-speed transaxle, this car was built to dominate. RM Sotheby's had very strict criteria on bidders, who required vetting and a background check. They also chose to showcase it on the world's greatest car website, so that prospective buyer could see all the details. We're glad we could help it find a new home, and congratulations to RM Sothebys on a successful weekend. Stay with us for a breakdown of Monterey highlights and more Aston Martin news.

RM Sotheby’s to Auction 13 Iconic Ferraris At Monterey

The year seems to be flying by because it feels like we just left Monterey Car Week 2016. With news of this year's highlights beginning to trickle in, RM Sotheby's announcement outshines all the others. A press release over the weekend outlines 13 classic and contemporary Ferraris that will highlight their event. These lucky 13 cars have been dubbed the Ferrari Performance Collection. All cars are low-mileage examples from the collection of a single owner. They represent over 50 years of racing-inspired automobiles, these are among the most coveted street-legal cars in existence. Ten cars are selling without reserve so the results will be used to gauge the pulse of our hobby. Here Is The Lineup: 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta – Est. $8,500,000 – $10,000,000 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Berlinetta by Scaglietti – Est. $2,750,000 – $3,250,000 1969 Ferrari Dino 206 GT – Est. $650,000 – $750,000 Cars without any reserve: 1991 Ferrari F40 – Est. $1,300,000 – $1,500,000 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO – Est. $700,000 – $800,000 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi – Est. $375,000 – $450,000 2005 Ferrari 575 Superamerica – Est. $375,000 – $450,000 2009 Ferrari 16M Scuderia Spider – Est. $350,000 – $400,000 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi – Est. $275,000 – $325,000 2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale – Est. $275,000 – $325,000 2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia – Est. $250,000 – $300,000 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB ‘Vetroresina’ – Est. $175,000 – $225,000 1989 Ferrari 328 GTS – Est. $90,000 – $120,000 Of all those ten, the most shocking is a two-owner 1991 Ferrari F40. Chassis 87895 is one of 213 US-spec cars. It comes with luggage, tools and the original invoice. Following close behind is a 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO with only 481 miles. Instead of a race inspired street car, the GTO was actually a detuned 599XX. On the more affordable end of the spectrum, a 1989 Ferrari 328 GTS and a 2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale are among the cleanest examples on the market. The trio of headliners will have reserve prices because to make sure they find a proper home, and you might be surprised to find a Dino making the list. Steel bodied cars were prone to rust, but the aluminum examples have become greatly sought after. Next up will be a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 with certification by Ferrari Classiche. The headliner of the event will be a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta. It is among the last production cars to be eligible for endurance racing. It could bring upwards of ten million dollars so we will be there with live coverage via our Facebook page. Of course, we will be attending other events of the weekend, so stay with us for all your Monterey coverage.

Top 10 Sales from Russo & Steele Monterey 2016

With an event that has outgrown the Monterey waterfront, Russo & Steele have set new records for collector car prices. What started as an open air event at the Fisherman's Wharf parking lot has evolved into a must-see event of the weekend. Under tents that would leave PT Barnum speechless, they brought together 250 of the world's most sought after automobiles, We told you what to expect a few weeks ago, but now the final numbers are in. Here are the most notable sales of the event: 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL With only 17,443 miles, the only restoration needed was new chrome plating on the bumpers. Numbers matching examples of these cars are becoming very hard to find, which is why it was able to bring $1,050,105. 2004 Ford GT Prototype As the final validation of their engineering efforts, Ford's design team and assembly workers signed the underside of the hood of this significant car. Built as the final prototype, it was the last pre-production Ford GT built before official production began. It was used to validate the assembly line techniques and to ensure the electrical system could perform as a daily driver. Most GTs have been well cared for in climate controlled garages, but Ford's SVT division racked up almost 50,000 miles in testing. It sold for $836,000. 1993 Jaguar XJ220 Supercars of the 90's are intimidating because they delivered incredible power with none of the modern stability systems we're accustomed to. The XJ220 is just such an example. With a twin turbo 3.5L V6, it offers 540 hp and 476 lb-ft of torque at all wheels. As such, the owner only amassed 871 kilometers (541 miles) since new. Capable of running with the fastest cars in the world, it sold for $435,000 2014 Mercedes-AMG SLS Black Series When AMG is given free reign to design the ultimate GT car, their menacing builds are known as the Black Series. In the quest for aerodynamic dominance, the track focused SLS AMG GT trades civility for downforce with carbon fiber spoilers. Since the new AMG GT models are based on the 4.0L twin turbo engine, the SLS might be the last big 6.3L naturally aspirated model. $418,000 2009 Ferrari 16M Built to celebrate Ferrari's 16th victory as a Formula1 constructor, the 16M is more than just a fancy F430. Only 499 cars were built, and they are as close to a street-legal race car as you will get. The interior is all carbon fiber and the exhaust is unrestricted. Capable of reaching 62 mph in 3.7 seconds, it stands as one of the most significant production cars in recent history. $355,000 1970 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 The first production Ferrari with power steering and power brakes, the 365 was a more practical cruiser than its predecessors. Instead of a rear mounted transaxle, the 365 placed the transmission behind the engine in a conventional layout. This allowed for ample trunk space and room for rear passengers. Originally owned by a famous Hollywood producer, it sold for $346,500 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV The car that brought Lamborghini into the modern era, this Countach was ordered with every option. The first Countach to offer 4 valves per cylinder, the new 5.1L version of their venerable V12 did away with carburetors in favor of Bosch fuel injection. With only 18,469 miles, it is a time capsule of 80's excess. $321,750 1957 Porsche 356 Restored to an exceedingly high standard including the factory-specified color combination, this 1957 356 Speedster is complete with documentation. An outstanding original car from San Diego, California was the foundation used to begin a stunning restoration by Porsche marque specialists in Newport Beach, California. $250,000 2000 Ferrari 550 Maranello For the discerning buyer who needs a manual transmission, this well-preserved example has only 3,781 miles. The stunning & sensuous lines of Pininfarina are combined with a 5.5L V12 in a combination that we might not see again. $194,700 1955 Facel-Vega FV1 As a signal to the world that France was recovering from the war, Facel-Vega combined a Chrysler HEMI V8 with gorgeous coachwork. $181,500.00 Stay with us, as Russo & Steele will be previewing their Scottsdale event in the near future.
