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.

Fans, customers, and media gathered around the Bentayga to sip espresso, try fresh juice, and experience the unusual pairing of a heritage British carmaker and a youthful Scandinavian brand. The unveiling was accompanied by exclusive co-branded merch. Looking ahead, the Bentley x Joe & The Juice Bentayga is set to travel internationally, making appearances at events across the globe before the full partnership rollout in 2026. Both brands are clear about their intent, being more about more than drinks or drives. It’s about celebrating craftsmanship, whether in leather upholstery or latte foam, and about finding moments to connect in a fast-moving world. As Kasper Garnell of Joe & The Juice put it, the project is about connecting people through great coffee, design, and culture. All Bentley Bentaygas For Sale Source: Bentley Motors

By Tyler Rampersaud – July 11, 2025

New Bentley Bentayga Speed Breaks Goodwood Hillclimb Record

Bentley’s new performance SUV dominates the Goodwood hillclimb. Having retired its iconic W12 powertrain over a year ago, Bentley radically reimagined the heart of its performance-oriented ultra-luxury vehicles, the Speed lineup. Now, the new Bentley Bentayga Speed uses a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 with 641 horsepower to exceed the power of the previous generation’s W12 engine, making the new Bentley Bentayga Speed the most powerful and fastest production Bentayga yet. At this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, one of the most prestigious and anticipated automotive events in the United Kingdom and worldwide, the new Bentayga Speed showcased its incredible performance by taking on the famed Hillclimb race at the event, and its completion time of only 55.8 seconds made the new Bentley Bentayga Speed the fastest ICE-powered production SUV in the history of the Festival of Speed. During the record-breaking run, the power and dynamics of the new Bentayga Speed were showcased beautifully, with the ultra-luxe high-performance SUV reaching speeds of 130 mph, with the ability to go from 0-60 in just 3.4 seconds with Bentley’s in-house driving specialist Andy Marson behind the wheel. Flat out, the new Bentayga Speed can reach a top speed of 193 mph, a staggering number for an SUV, and beyond production vehicles, the time is second only to Bentley’s Pikes Peak Bentayga, a one-off that was modified for racing purposes. Even a wet track at Goodwood couldn’t stop the new Bentayga Speed from setting a new record, cementing its status as a new chapter for Bentley’s performance engineering and a new standard for ultra-luxurious high-performance SUVs.

This special Bentley Bentayga evokes bubblegum. Occupying what is just about the highest echelon of automotive luxury, Bentley is known not only for the stunning craftsmanship, compelling performance, and sumptuous materials used in its lineup, but also for the incredible breadth of options and choices that are available when it comes to configuring them. Thanks to the abilities of the newly opene Bentley’s Mulliner bespoke division to create bespoke Bentley masterpieces, Bentley boasts the ability to paint its iconic and popular ultra-luxury SUV, the Bentayga, in a palette of 111 colors, plus a client’s ability to create a unique shade. Over 46 billion possible configurations can be achieved through Bentley’s standard palette, but even still, certain discerning Bentley clients use Mulliner’s abilities to create something truly unique, like an American Bentley owner who asked for a specific shade of pink to be painted on a Bentayga. That color, Candy Pink, was created specifically to paint the new Bentley Bentayga EWB. Inside, the car is finished with Cherry Blossom and black leather upholstery, with a Mulliner bottle cooler complete with a soft-closing frosted glass door, and two Cumbria crystal flutes. Contrasting the pink exterior is the Blackline specification, adding black trim pieces throughout, and other details from Mulliner help set the pink ultra-luxury SUV even further apart as a bespoke masterpiece of Bentley craftsmanship. With its incredible wealth of options, an overwhelming majority of over 70 percent of personal Bentley commissions include at least one Mulliner feature, showing that more Bentley clients than ever use their ultra-luxe vehicles as canvases for personal expression. Showing off that unique ability, this new Candy Pink Bentley Bentayga EWB is one of the best examples. View All Bentley Bentayga For Sale Image Source: Bentley Motors

The New Bentley Bentayga Speed Is The Most Powerful Benta...

Bentley introduces its new performance SUV pinnacle. The Bentley Bentayga has become one of the historic ultra-luxury brand’s most successful models thanks to its enviable combination of ultra-luxury excellence, SUV practicality, elegant design, and spirited driving character. Historically, the Bentayga’s performance-oriented character has manifested itself most prominently in the Speed variant, which until the engine’s 2024 retirement, was powered by Bentley’s iconic twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 powertrain. Now, that engine has ceased production over a year ago, and Bentley has not only entered a new era as a manufacturer, but so has its performance luxury SUV flagship, the Bentayga Speed. A new generation of the Bentayga Speed has just been announced, and it’s the most powerful and dynamic Bentayga yet, with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 that exceeds the performance of its W12-powered predecessor, and improvements throughout that imbue the new ultra-luxury SUV with impressive levels of performance by any standard. The improved 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 at the heart of the new Bentley Bentayga Speed is responsible for providing the ultra-luxury performance SUV with 641 horsepower and 627 lb/ft of torque. Unlike the Bentayga’s stablemates, the Continental GT and the Flying Spur, the Bentayga Speed doesn’t use hybrid assistance to achieve its immense performance specs. Bentley also showcases its new Bentayga Speed’s High Powered V8 engine through a special Sports Exhaust system, with an optional Akrapovic system for an even more thrilling sound experience. While comfort is a priority in Bentley’s ultra-luxurious models, the new Bentley Bentayga Speed benefits from a Sport driving mode, allowing for things like launch control and even drifting, as well as a stiffer, sportier ride, and brake torque vectoring for excellent cornering. All-Wheel steering also comes into play to make the new Bentley Bentayga Speed more agile than its size and footprint would typically suggest. The new Bentley Bentayga Speed’s design is distinguished with specific 22 or 23-inch wheels, as well as a black roof, as well as specific interior displays, quilting patterns, and upholstery configurations. With its increased power and dynamics, as well as its aggressive design, the natural question is of the Bentley Bentayga Speed’s performance capabilities. Those include a 0-60 time of just 3.4 seconds, eclipsing the previous W12 Speed’s 3.9-second time, and a top speed of 193 mph, a staggering figure especially for an SUV. With its new high-performance V8, the new Bentley Bentayga Speed opens a new chapter for the luxury performance SUV landscape. View All Bentley Bentayga Speeds For Sale Image Source: Bentley Motors

Bentley Unveils New Bespoke Victoris Bentaygas For Charity

Unique paintwork makes these luxury SUVs stand out for a cause. The Victoris program serves as the philanthropic initiative from Bentley Dallas, a dealership that purveys Bentley’s incredible lineup of ultra-luxury vehicles in the heart of the Lone Star State. A recent initiative from the program saw three one-off Bentley Bentaygas commissioned to be sold, benefitting Victoris through which several Texas children’s charities will benefit from a $75,000 contribution from the projected net proceeds of the sale of the cars. The ultra-exclusive, one-of-one ultra-luxury SUVs were commissioned by the dealership in collaboration with artist Stephen Seltzer to feature a unique design that takes advantage of Bentley’s cutting-edge paint techniques, which the historic manufacturer is capable of thanks to the introduction of the new Bentley Excellence Centre for Bespoke Paint, with a two-tone color scheme for each that features a gradient finish. The new Victoris Bentley Bentaygas feature three separate color stories, with one pairing Candy and Cricketball, with a Beluga and Mulliner White interior, one pairing Moonbeam and Anthracite, with a Beluga and Saddle interior, and one pairing Anthracite and Extreme Silver, with a Cricketball and Beluga interior. Each paint finish required over 70 hours of work to complete, with the stunning design not only showing incredible technique in itself, but the entire collection of three cars is uniform, with accuracy within two millimeters. With incredible craftsmanship and a very worthy cause they are raising funds for, the new Victoris Bentley Bentayga SUVs are true bespoke masterpieces.
