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.

Bentley brings a breadth of automotive excellence to a prestigious event. After over a century in the automotive industry, Bentley has become well-known for its ultra-luxury vehicles that combine fine materials, beautiful design, spirited performance, and high-tech features. However, Bentley is entering a new era this model year, with the introduction of the new Ultra Performance Hybrid Powertrain, a new flagship setup that replaces Bentely’s iconic W12 engine. The new powertrain combines a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with hybrid assist for unprecedented performance for production Bentley models. At this year’s Retromobile classic event, Bentley is showcasing two of its latest automotive creations, including the new Bentley Continental GTC Speed. While the new Continental showcases Bentley’s latest innovation and engineering technology, the other new vehicle that Bentley is showcasing at Retromobile, the Speed Six Continuation Series, is a stunning example of Bentley’s rich tradition, and the preservation of its century-long history. While the Speed Six Continuation Series is a new vehicle from Bentley, it’s a painstakingly created revival of a highly successful Bentley racing legend from the early days of the manufacturer. Using historical examples, preserved documents, and high-tech digital models, the Speed Six Continuation is manufactured using period-correct tools and techniques to revive the original car as faithfully as possible. With only twelve examples being built, each will take ten months to complete from start to finish. At this year’s Retromobile event, Bentley is showcasing its cutting-edge innovation and its storied traditional craftsmanship. View All Bentleys For Sale Image Source: Bentley

Bentley Bentayga vs Rolls-Royce Cullinan: Which Is The Be...

Which SUV comes out on top of the ultra-luxe major leagues? Rolls-Royce and Bentley are the two of the most prominent names in the luxury automotive world, and both British manufacturers are responsible for creating some of the world’s most aspirational vehicles. Once under the same umbrella, Rolls-Royce and Bentley have become rivals in the ultra-luxury automotive world, and for each, the Cullinan and the Bentayga are their ultra-luxury SUV models, both showing off elegant design, everyday practicality, and sumptuous features. However, which one comes out on top? Both feature state-of-the-art innovation, luxurious craftsmanship, longstanding British heritage and multiple variants, but the Bentley Bentayga and Rolls-Royce Cullinan each take different approaches to crafting the ultra-luxury SUV, which give each model advantages and disadvantages over the other. Regardless of which one you prefer, duPont REGISTRY is the place to look for a Rolls-Royce Cullinan or a Bentley Bentayga for sale as the source for supercars since 1985. View All Bentley Bentayga For Sale View All Rolls-Royce Cullinan For Sale Bentley Bentayga Specs The Bentley Bentayga has a variety of powertrains and two different body styles. A 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine and a 3.0-liter V6 hybrid powertrain are available. The standard-wheelbase Bentley Bentayga is also complemented with the Bentley Bentayga EWB, the extended-wheelbase version that offers more rear-seat room and enhanced luxury options. All-wheel steering gives the longer EWB agility despite its size. Rolls-Royce Cullinan Specs The Rolls-Royce Cullinan is available in two different versions: the Standard Cullinan, and the Black Badge Cullinan. Both are powered by a 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12, but the Black Badge offers edgier looks as a more driver-focused model. Only one wheelbase of the Cullinan is offered currently. Bentley wins the specs competition thanks to its versatility. With hybrid and combustion powertrains, and two different wheelbases, the Bentayga is able to appeal to a broader range of drivers. Specs Winner: Bentley Bentayga Bentley Bentayga Engine The Bentayga Speed’s 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine, the former flagship powertrain, has been retired. However, Bentley still offers a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with 542 horsepower, along with a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 hybrid engine with 443 or 456 horsepower depending on the trim. Both powertrains offer engaging driving, while the hybrid adds efficiency to the mix. Rolls-Royce Cullinan Engine Rolls-Royce is known for its 6.75-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, which is made to not only deliver robust power, but also the ultimate luxurious smoothness and quietness, part of the manufacturer’s uncompromising approach to luxury. The Cullinan features the same engine, with 592 horsepower. Being much heavier than the Bentayga, the Cullinan is not as fast despite having four more cylinders. When it comes to luxury powertrains, it’s hard to top the unparalleled smoothness, quietness, and driving pleasure of Rolls-Royce’s V12, which is why the Cullinan comes out on top in the engine debate. Engine Winner: Rolls-Royce Cullinan Bentley Bentayga Interior Bentley is known for its ultra-luxury interiors, and the Bentayga is no exception. Sumptuous leather, wood or even stone veneers, and a plethora of available bespoke touches from Mulliner make the Bentayga’s interior a true luxury oasis. In addition, opting for the Bentley Bentayga EWB adds features like Diamond Illumination or the Airline Seat, a highly advanced rear seat that marks Bentley’s new flagship rear seat treatment. Rolls-Royce Cullinan Interior The star of the show in any Rolls-Royce is the interior. With features like the available Starlight Headliner and a gorgeous spectrum of upholstery colors, the Cullinan’s interior is nothing short of incredible. Rolls-Royce offers a stunning fabric upholstery option for the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II, with an opulent pattern. There’s nothing quite like the interior of a Rolls-Royce, and especially with the available fabric option, the Cullinan wins this round, despite Bentley’s Diamond Illumination and Airline Seat being enticing offerings. Interior Winner: Rolls-Royce Cullinan Bentley Bentayga Performance The less powerful hybrid Bentley Bentayga is no slouch. With over 400 horsepower, it’s still able to get from 0-60 in roughly 4.5 seconds in its higher trim levels. However, the more powerful V8 model will rocket to 60 from a standstill in only 3.3 seconds. In addition, the Bentayga EWB features all-wheel steering to make turning in the longer vehicle just as enjoyable and easy as in the shorter model. Rolls-Royce Cullinan Performance Rolls-Royce vehicles aren’t exactly made to take to the track, but with a 592-horsepower twin-turbocharged V12 engine, it’s impossible not to wonder what the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is capable of. It’ll get form 0-60 in around 4.5 seconds, which for the heavy ultra-luxe SUV is as long as it takes the hybrid Bentayga with half as many cylinders. With its robust V8 powertrain and a hybrid model that isn’t a slouch, either, the Bentley Bentayga wins on the performance front. Performance Winner: Bentley Bentayga Bentley Bentayga Investment Value On the duPont REGISTRY market, prices for the Bentley Bentayga, depending on the age and condition of the vehicle, can dip under $100,000, and approach $350,000 and even higher. Models like the Bentayga Speed are sure to have collector-grade panache due to the fact that Bentley ceremoniously retired its W12 engine in 2024. Rolls-Royce Cullinan Investment Value Prices for the Rolls-Royce Cullinan on duPont REGISTRY have sometimes dipped below $200,000, however, depending on the age and condition of the example, prices can soar as high as nearly $700,000. With greater panache and higher prices over time, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan wins here.

Bentley Mullliner’s bespoke luxury reaches new heights. Bentley's Mulliner division is rooted in the history of the world’s oldest coachbuilder and capable of a wide range of automotive luxury feats, from bespoke features to one-off cars, coachbuilt limited-series productions, and recreations of historical models. However, Bentley Rancho Mirage, a Southern California Bentley dealership, commissioned a new Bentley Mulliner creation that shows off some of its greatest bespoke craftsmanship abilities. A collection of four bespoke Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertibles, the new ‘Expressions of Texture’ collection shows the range of Mulliner’s diverse and impressive ability to create ultra-luxury masterpieces. The designs of all four cars are inspired by the iconic and beautiful Palm Springs area of California, the place that Bentley Rancho Mirage calls home. Stunning desert landscapes and vast skies served as inspiration for the bespoke designs. Each car is finished in Mulliner’s satin paint, a finish that requires up to 55 hours of work to achieve. Other gorgeous features include paper-thin veneers of 200 million-year-old stone and blind-embossed upholstery reminiscent of the landscape of California’s beautiful Coachella Valley. The Peacock Blue Satin car is inspired by the night sky, with blue-tinted satin carbon fiber enhancing the look. Another car is finished in Ghost White Pearl Satin, with hundreds of hours put in its bespoke quilted upholstery inspired by the desert dunes. The mountains of the valley inspired the Havana Satin car, with blind quilting representing the topography of the iconic Death Valley. Other warm colors like the Burnt Oak and Cognac upholstery, Bronze accents, and Copper Stone veneers enhance the mountainous inspiration. All four go to great lengths to artistically echo the Southern Californian desert's natural beauty, each being a painstakingly crafted ode to a different aspect of the Palm Springs area. Showing off Mulliner’s incredible talent and Bentley Rancho Mirage’s hometown, this bespoke collection of Bentley Continental GTC Speed cars is truly an ultra-luxurious statement.
