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.

BMW Builds First Pre-Series New i3 Cars

Roughly a decade ago, BMW launched a model called the i3. It was a small hatchback with an electric powertrain, futuristic design, and an interior that combined luxury, practicality, and technology. While that model was BMW’s inaugural foray into mass-producing EVs, the brand has since seen its electrification effort blossom, with all-electric SUVs, sedans, and even a fully-electric version of its luxury sedan flagship, the 7 Series. However, beyond even that, BMW has been preparing for a new chatper in its lineup, what it’s been calling “Neue Klasse.” The first Neue Klasse model from BMW, the new iX3, has been launched, but a new BMW i3 is also coming, and it’s not the same thing as the hatchback i3 of the past decade. Rather, the new BMW i3 is a new, all-electric, Neue Klasse reimagination of BMW’s legendary 3 Series sedan, and as the launch of the series version quickly approaches, the first near-series test vehicles of the new BMW i3 have officially rolled off the production line in Munich. The milestone marks the first time the i3 has been built entirely at the Munich plant, using highly innovative and digitally-connected manufacturing techniques and processes. <- Gallery -> With a new chapter of BMW’s history on the horizon, the production of the new i3’s near-series test vehicles means that another new Neue Klasse model is close to being launched, showcasing an unprecedented level of technology, innovation, and futuristic design in a new cohort of BMW staple models.

BMW Teases 2027 M Neue Klasse EV

Over 50 years of legacy and celebrated heritage have made BMW’s M one of the most respected names in the world of European automotive luxury performance. Today, the M lineup is more diverse than ever, with a lineup that includes electrified models, a hybrid flagship M-exclusive SUV, and plenty of sensational driver-focused performance creations. However, BMW is on the cusp of a new era with its “Neue Klasse” cars showcasing an entirely new chapter of technology and design for the historic manufacturer, and that includes the M portfolio. In 2027, the BMW M Neue Klasse will usher in a new generation of high-performance BMW models, and with it, the longstanding M ethos: “Born on the racetrack. Made for the streets. Core of a passionate community,” will take shape in a high-performance, fully-electric drivetrain for the first time. With four electric motors, the upcoming Neue Klasse M model will feature BMW M eDrive, which will boast centrally controlled individual wheel drive, along with 800-volt technology for fast charging and long driving range, combining thrilling performance and dynamics with everyday usability and convenience. The drive system allows for the car to assume the benefits of both rear and all-wheel drive, with the front axle being able to be decoupled for the driving character of rear-wheel drive, as well as greater efficiency on long drives. Ensuring that all-electric BMW M cars have a unique character along with their high-tech performance, features like simulated gear shifts, a unique soundscape, and specific driving modes are added to the mix, as well. Driving dynamics have evolved in the upcoming generation of M cars, with the individual electric motors allowing for an unprecedented level of torque and power control, and the engineering taking advantage of the battery by using it as a structural component of the car that increases stiffness. The use of natural fiber evolves BMW’s commitment to lightweight construction for M models, and also evolves the brand’s approach to sustainability. With cutting-edge technology and a traditional pursuit of performance, BMW’s M Neue Klasse is the future of a legendary performance marque. View All BMW For Sale Image Source: BMW

Jay-Z and Lenny S. Gift DJ Khaled a Nostalgic E30 BMW M3 ...

The red , two-door BMW represented the start of friendship, and a musical legacy. When you think of DJ Khaled, the first images that probably come to mind are mansions, private jets, and a garage full of luxury cars. But ask him, and he’d likely tell a different story—one rooted in humble beginnings, relentless work ethic, and a constant grind to hustle and be great. And as he recently celebrated his 50th birthday in Miami, surrounded by friends and family, it's incredible to take a walk down memory lane with DJ Khaled and reminisce on some of the key moments that led to him making his mark on music forever. That nostalgia came to life in the form of a four-wheel icon this year, as DJ Khaled took to Instagram to show fans and followers the moment when longtime friend Lenny S. gifted him an E30 BMW E30 on behalf of himself and Jay-Z. @djkhaled Instagram At first glance, you’re probably wondering where a late 80s M car will sit in a collection of Rolls-Royces and Maybachs, but what you don’t understand is that the E30 M3 represents a pivotal moment in time for Khaled. Along with a small-scale model of the car, framed photos of a young Khaled reveal that at just 15 or 16 years old, the world-renowned music producer and entrepreneur owned that very M3 during his early years and rise to the top of music charts. The two, struck with smiles, continue reminiscing about the now highly collectable M3 and how it ultimately caught fire after Khlaed installed an audio system in it. The real surprise came when Lenny S. walked Khaled outside to his driveway, where a pristine red 1991 BMW E30 M3 sat parked like a blast from the past. @djkhaled Instagram As if things could get any better, the M3 came fitted with a vanity plate that reads “WTB-M3,” which is the original plate that Khaled put on his car. It wasn’t long before he was sitting in the front seat, going on about the days when he was hustling, selling mixtapes and alligator leather shoes out of the trunk. Surrounded by a car collection that spans into the eight-figure mark, the excitement that came from the 34-year-old BMW just shows that nostalgia is what drives our passion for all things automotive, not just price tags.

End of the Road: 2026 BMW Z4 Final Edition Breaks Cover

If you want a brand new BMW roadster, the Final Edition marks your last chance before production ends. BMW confirmed the two-seat Z4 will exit the lineup after April 2026, and the Final Edition arrives as a very limited run with one configuration and two transmission choices, closing a chapter that stretches back more than 20 years. The Z4 Final Edition is offered only as an M40i. Output comes from a 3.0-liter straight six with TwinPower Turbo technology that produces 3882 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. You can pair it with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed Steptronic automatic. 60 mph comes up in 3.9 second on the automatic and 4.2 on the manual, with top speed for both variants at 155 mph. The manual version receives chassis tuning unique to the Edition Handschalter package, including auxiliary springs at both axles, a reinforced front anti-roll bar clamp, revised rear damper control mapping, updated variable sport steering software, and adjusted logic for traction control and the M Sport differential. These changes should give the manual car a more connected feel and sharpen response without turning the Z4 into something harsh or punishing. Visually, the Frozen Black metallic BMW Individual paint sets this car apart immediately. It interacts with light in a way that exaggerates the Z4 proportions without feeling forced. The Shadowline package finishes the trim in high gloss black. It covers the mirror caps, kidney grille, lower intake, air breathers, and exhaust tips. The Moonlight Black soft top and red calipers on the M Sport brakes complete the look. Wheels are staggered with 19-inch M Dual Spoke Bicolor 800M wheels on 255-section performance tires up front. The rear wears 20-inch wheels on 285-section tires. Inside, the Vernasca Leather and Alcantara seats come trimmed with red contrast stitching. The same stitching carries across the dash, center console, and door panels. The M tricolor seatbelts and engraved Z4 Final Edition sill plates remove any doubt about what you are driving. Floor mats include red piping. Standard equipment covers the Driving Assistance Package, Premium Package, and a Harman Kardon surround sound system. Looking back at the Z4, it made its debut back in 2002 as the successor to the Z3. It carried on a lineage that includes the 328 Roadster, iconic 507, and Z8. At its peak in the 2000s and early 2010s, the Z4 took on the likes of the other compact sports cars like the Mercedes SLK, Porsche Boxster, and later the Cayman. The first generation Z4 answered criticisms of the softer SLK with real torsional stiffness and balance. Against the Porsche Boxster and Cayman, the Z4 earned loyalty quickly from drivers who enjoyed roadster dynamics without seeking mid-engine behavior. The second generation continued that tradition with more potent powertrains, a refreshed look, and introduced the retractable hardtop. Following a showcase of the Z4 Concept in 2017, the third generation returned to a fabric top and debuted at Monterey Car Week in 2018. While it shares its platform with the Toyota GR Supra, with both cars built at Magna Steyr’s facility in Austria, the two are very different sports cars on a common base. Supra appealed to coupe loyalists and tuning-focused drivers where whereas The Z4, meanwhile, remained committed to open-air dynamics and steering feel. Priced from $77,500 plus $1,175 destination, the Final Edition closes a glorious chapter in BMW history, and if a stick-shift front-engine rear-drive sports car format is something you have long admired, the window to buy one brand-new is short.

New 2026 BMW M340i xDrive 50 Jahre Edition Revealed

BMW celebrates half a century of an icon. The BMW 3 Series is not just any executive car, it’s a model that achieved legendary status, and one of the most integral trailblazers that helped write the story of the BMW that we know and love today as enthusiasts. Its performance-oriented variants featured precision and engineering that set standards in the industry, and even the standard 3 Series has stood out for generations as a luxurious, agile executive car that combines creature comforts and bar-setting technology with spirited character and driving joy. It was 50 years ago when the BMW 3 Series was first introduced into the automotive lexicon, specifically at the Olympic Stadium in Munich, Germany, in July 1975. At that moment, a new era began for BMW, one characterized by an incredibly successful sports sedan that would help put BMW on the map across the globe as a manufacturer to beat when it came to its self-proclaimed “Ultimate Driving Machine.” To mark that milestone, BMW has revealed a new special edition of the 3 Series for the 2026 model year: the 2026 BMW M340i xDrive 50 Jahre Edition. This new special edition not only commemorates the half-century anniversary of one of BMW’s most legendary and impactful model series, but it also brings together a unique combination of features and finishes that make the commemorative car noteworthy and memorable as a special edition. With a single equipment profile carrying an MSRP of $75,200 plus $1,175 destination and handling, the new 2026 BMW M340i xDrive 50 Jahre Edition is a unique statement of automotive history, with unique finishes combining historic colors with Extended Merino Leather upholstery, a first for the US-market 3 Series, and either red or blue brake calipers. Each color is inspired by one of the first five generations of the 3 Series: Ruby Red for the first E21 generation, Boston Green for the second, the E30, Avus Blue for the E36, the third generation, Carbon Black for the fourth, the E46, and Sparkling Graphite for the E90, the fifth. An M Performance Exhuast system highlights the sporty character of the special edition, and features like the BMW Curved Display with Head Up Display, as well as a Harman Kardon surround sound system celebrate how far the technology seen in the model has come. Edition-specific badging and door sills highlight the exclusivity of the special edition, and the new 2026 BMW M340i xDrive 50 Jahre Edition is undoubtedly a unique vehicle, celebrating the legacy of a model that is certainly worth the fanfare.

BMW Honors Its 2002 Turbo Legacy With The Exclusive 2026 ...

BMW welcomes its next limited-edition M car. This week, BMW returned to its roots at the 2025 Motul Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, unveiling a modern-day homage to one of its most defining cars. The 2026 BMW M2 Turbo Design Edition revives the spirit of the 1974–1975 BMW 2002 Turbo, a car that first proved turbocharging could belong to both the racetrack and the road. Finished exclusively in Alpine White with hand-painted BMW Motorsport stripes, the M2 Turbo Design Edition celebrates that same balance of performance and practicality that has defined the brand for generations. Half a century ago, the BMW 2002 Turbo set a new standard for small sports cars. Revealed at the 1973 Frankfurt Auto Show, it became Europe’s first turbocharged production car and the model that cemented BMW’s motorsport reputation. With 170 horsepower from its boosted 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, it delivered an experience that few sedans of the era could match. Its forward-thinking styling, with flared fenders, a black rear spoiler, and reversed “2002 turbo” lettering, made it instantly recognizable. The new M2 Turbo Design Edition channels that same energy with a black power dome hood, carbon fiber trunk spoiler, and the classic “turbo” script mirrored across the front. Built in extremely limited numbers starting January 2026, the M2 Turbo Design Edition will come exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission as an intentional nod to purist driving. Beneath the hood lies BMW’s 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline-six, sending 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. That’s enough to send the compact coupe from 0–60 mph in just 4.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 155 mph, or 177 mph with the optional M Driver’s Package. Inside, the driver-centric cabin continues the tribute. Standard M Sport seats in Black Vernasca Leather feature M Color accents that echo the exterior striping, while optional M Carbon bucket seats add track-focused intent. A heated Alcantara M steering wheel and “M2 turbo” sill plates complete the details. Standard features include a carbon fiber interior trim package, Head-Up Display, Adaptive LED headlights with M Shadowline, and wireless device charging. Customers can also opt for Matte Gold Bronze wheels or the M Driver’s Package for added performance. More than just a commemorative model, the 2026 BMW M2 Turbo Design Edition bridges the five-decade lineage between the original 2002 Turbo and BMW M’s modern turbocharged icons.

New BMW iX5 Hydrogen Enters Series Production

BMW is bringing hydrogen mobility ambitions to series production. While the German manufacturer has been unveiling its Neue Klasse cars, packed with cutting-edge technology and innovation, as well as expanding its current lineup of battery-electric vehicles, BMW has also been exploring hydrogen-powered mobility with its pilot test fleet of iX5 Hydrogen SUVs. Made to combat some of the perils of battery-electric vehicles while still boasting emissions-free electric mobility, the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle enjoyed a successful testing phase for its pilot fleet, and the iX5 Hydrogen is now being brought to series production. That announcement makes the BMW X5 the manufacturer’s first model to be powered by five different drivetrain technologies: battery electric, plug-in hybrid, gasoline, diesel, and hydrogen fuel cell. Along with the introduction of the iX5 Hydrogen to series production, the HyMoS (Hydrogen Mobility at Scale) initiative aims to combat one of the major cons of hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles by helping create a bigger infrastructure for refueling stations and the like. Starting production for the 2028 model year, the new BMW iX5 Hydrogen features a third-generation fuel cell system developed in a collaboration between BMW and Toyota Motor Corporation. Michael Rath, the Vice President of Hydrogen Vehicles for BMW Group, states that the new iX5 Hydrogen “will be a true BMW – pioneering in its class and delivering the BMW-typical driving pleasure,” all the while providing electric mobility and mitigating the compromises that battery-electric vehicles face in certain environmental and economic conditions, as well as bringing renewables into the picture. With the introduction of the hydrogen-powered BMW X5 to series production, BMW has achieved a major milestone in sustainable mobility. View All BMW X5 For Sale Image Source: BMW
