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 Mulliner Unveils New 12-Car Olympia Collection

Bentley is one of the most historic manufacturers in the automotive industry, with roots that stretch back well over a century. In some of the earliest days in that history, Bentley Motors arrived at the 1926 Olympia Motor Show with the production version of its second-ever model line: the 6 ½ Litre, with a six-cylinder engine. The 6 ½ Litre was offered alongside the 3 Litre, diversifying the manufacturer’s range with a larger chassis and more power, and combining performance with refinement. A hundred years later, that formula still lies at the heart of Bentley’s model range today, and a collection of just 12 Bentley Continental GTs has been created by Mulliner to pay homage to W.O. Bentley, the brand’s founder, and look back on the 1926 Olympia Motor Show, one of the earliest milestones in its history. It’s called the Olympia Collection, and it combines the latest Muliner personalization techniques and finishes with historical inspiration. The exterior features a unique Ombré by Mulliner finish, which goes from Verdant to Midnight Emerald. It’s paired with details like Champagne Gold badges, a pinstripe on the lower bodywork, black 22-inch wheels with Champagne Gold accents, special Olympia Collection badging, and an animated welcome lamp. <- Gallery -> The choice of an Ombré exterior was deliberate, as the designers at Mulliner wanted to pay homage to classic British Racing Green with the collection. However, several British Racing Greens existed in the ‘20s, and the copper used in the paint from that time has degraded due to UV exposure. Since there is no standardized British Racing Green, Bentley chose the two extremes, Verdant and Midnight Emerald, and smoothly transitioned them with a gradient finish that requires over 56 hours of work by paint technicians, virtually depicting as many British Racing Greens as possible throughout the gradient. Meanwhile, the interior features a color scheme that is unique to the Olympia Collection. It combines bespoke Coach Green upholstery with Cumbrian Green accents, using a patinaed finish to further distinguish the configuration. Open-pore, crown-cut walnut veneer stained in black, and diamond-knurled controls and dials offer more heritage-inspired details. The collection features Bentley’s Rotating Display, and one of its faces features dials inspired by the 1926 Bentley 6 ½ Litre that was debuted at the Olympia Motor Show. Box stitching on the steering wheel evokes the look of rope-bound steering wheels from the 1920s, and special embroidery in the rear of the car references the story that led to the Bentley 6 ½ Litre. The treadplates feature an “Olympia Collection by Mulliner” motif, and each of the 12 cars comes with a bespoke car cover, a Brooklands watch, a handover box, and a story of Olympia Collection book. Each of the watches, which is exclusive to the collection, is numbered to match its corresponding car, and the straps use a hide that matches the interior. Paying homage to the Bentley 6 ½ Litre and the legacy it paved the way for a hundred years ago, the new Bentley Mulliner Olympia Collection is a stunning homage to the early days of the manufacturer’s rich history.

Bentley Reveals The New Torcal’s Intense Development Program

Bentley has opened a new chapter with the unveiling of the Torcal, which is the historic ultra-luxury manufacturer’s first production battery-electric vehicle. As part of Bentley Motors’ Beyond 100+ strategy, the introduction of a battery-electric vehicle is one of the most important pieces to the puzzle of Bentley’s near future. As with any new model, but especially with the Torcal, it was paramount for Bentley Motors to make sure the Torcal was thoroughly developed. To that end, the Torcal underwent an incredibly rigorous testing and development process, which is being revealed by the manufacturer weeks after the car was unveiled to the public. Development prototypes of the Bentley Torcal drove for over 600,000 miles in total. Enduring a diverse range of environments and conditions, the Torcal went from sub-zero temperatures in Sweden to desert heat of over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Conquering a wide range of altitudes, the Torcal prototypes went from sea level to of Pikes Peak in Colorado, at over 14,000 feet. Extended Reality, or XR technology, was used to optimize the ergonomics of the new Bentley Torcal, digitalizing the vehicle faithfully, down to its adjustable seats and interactive controls. Meanwhile, the Physical Design Confirmation phase allowed developers to ensure physical parts matched their CAD counterparts, while also testing their fit, clearances, and usability. As an all-electric car, the electrical systems are extremely important in the new Bentley Torcal, and alongside the vehicle architecture, the software was meticulously developed for the Torcal. On a six-week cycle, new software integration levels were developed and carefully tested for safety and dependability. A new challenge for Bentley was that of the battery, as the Torcal is the brand’s first production BEV. Its immense energy density means that one of the biggest priorities for the vehicle was to protect the battery. Bentley did that by requiring two hours of fire resistance in the Torcal’s design, engineering the car to withstand significant underside impacts, and exposing the assembly to salt-spray corrosion, as well as other environmental tests for durability. Camouflaged for its intense development cycle, the new Bentley Torcal was painstakingly validated in order to introduce BEVs to Bentley’s lineup in a way that lives up to the brand’s century-long legacy of automotive excellence. Now that it’s been unwrapped and revealed, the new Torcal has passed its gauntlet of tests to show how an electric-powered Bentley is made. View All Bentley For Sale Image Source: Bentley Motors

Bentley Announces Michelle Yeoh As New Brand Ambassador

Bentley Motors has just crossed the threshold of a new chapter in its history, introducing the Torcal, its first production BEV, and continuing to execute its bold Beyond100+ strategy. Recently, the manufacturer announced former soccer player Mats Hummels as a brand ambassador and, days later, announced yet another brand ambassador: actress Michelle Yeoh. Global brand ambassador for Bentley Motors is the latest addition to Yeoh’s extensive resume, which includes ballet training, starring roles in over fifty films, and the first Best Actress Academy Award to be won by an Asian woman. Her appearances in the Wicked duology, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Crazy Rich Asians have propelled her to the highest echelon of the entertainment world, and another testament to Yeoh’s stardom is an Hermès handbag style named after her. Yeoh’s relationship with the Bentley brand is longstanding. Her husband, Jean Todt, has a collection of Bentleys that includes a 1965 Continental S3, a 2019 Mulsanne, and a 2025 Flying Spur Speed First Edition. Along with the announcement of her brand ambassador role, Bentley Motors External Creative Director Greg Williams photographed her in a new portrait. Her peers in the ambassadorial position include Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Mai Ikuzawa. <- Gallery -> About her new role, Yeoh commented, “Over more than four decades on screen, from Hong Kong action cinema to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, to the worlds I've explored in Everything Everywhere All at Once, I've always been drawn to stories about transformation, about characters who evolve without losing who they are at their core. Bentley embodies that same idea: a brand that has reinvented itself again and again while staying true to its craftsmanship and its soul. That's why this partnership feels so natural to me. Torcal represents Bentley's next chapter, and I'm honoured to be part of telling that story.” With an illustrious career including some of the most iconic films in recent memory, Michelle Yeoh is the epitome of stardom and excellence in the film and entertainment industry. Now, as the newest global brand ambassador for Bentley Motors, Yeoh can add yet another feather to her cap. View All Bentley For Sale Image Source: Bentley Motors

Bentley Names Mats Hummels A Brand Ambassador

A 2014 World Cup victory is just one highlight of Mats Hummels’ impressive career, including years of playing soccer professionally, along with his expertise being lent to television and investing. Now, he is named as the latest European brand ambassador for Bentley Motors. In a long-term partnership, Hummels and Bentley Motors have agreed to a two-year collaboration, focusing on German-speaking markets, connecting his own excellence in his various pursuits to Bentley’s evolving lineup of ultra-luxury vehicles.

What fascinates me about Bentley is its exceptional attention to detail. Ultimately, what makes the difference – just like in football – is how closely you focus on every detail. The Continental GT is my absolute favourite: timeless design, performance, and captivating attention to detail.” Recently, Hummels’ TV appearances have included the Champions League and this year’s World Cup, which was hosted in the United States. Involved in the sport as an investor as well since his retirement from playing, Hummels has also contributed to charitable causes as a UNICEF ambassador for over a decade. <- Gallery -> Aligning with his reputation for precision and excellence in soccer, Hummels’ new Bentley Continental GT Speed evolves an already impressive luxury performance grand tourer by combining the power of a twin-turbo V8 engine and a hybrid system for unprecedented levels of performance.
