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 iX3 Launches the Neue Klasse Era With 400-Mile Range ...

BMW has pulled the wraps off the 2026 iX3, the first production model built on its all-new Neue Klasse platform. This next-gen SUV represents more than just another electric option in BMW’s lineup, as it sets the tone for design, software, and powertrain strategy across the Bavarian brand for the next decade. With a starting price of about $60,000 (single-motor variant), an estimated range of 400 miles, and 800-volt charging architecture that peaks at 400 kW, this latest iX3 is BMW’s clearest attempt yet to prove an EV can still carry the badge’s “Ultimate Driving Machine” promise. The German brand ofcourse is no stranger to full electrification, which began over a decade ago with the i3 hatchback and i8 coupe. They were early experiments in electrification, each memorable but limited in scope. The more recent iX SUV showed that BMW could deliver a tech-forward EV in a premium package. The first iX3 meanwhile, launched in 2020, and was essentially a converted X3 sold mainly in Europe and China. This all-new iX3 seen here, is different as it is purpose-built as an EV from the ground up and introduces a design language BMW intends to roll out across nearly 40 models by 2027. Speaking of design, it is a clear departure from the more traditional gas-powered variants and much of what we saw on the camouflaged Neue Klasse pre-production prototypes has carried through. Despite being an EV, a prominent backlit kidney grille is present, albeit one that is a lot slimmer now, which takes inspiration from the BMW 1800 of the 1960s. The rear is where you see some pretty dramatic changes, with a split LED taillight setup, but the signature BMW Hoffmeister kink remains on the D-Pillar. Plasitc cladding has madeway for body colored wheelarches, lending a far more upmarket look. Aerodynamics are impressive, with a drag coefficient of 0.24. The iX3 is also designed to be more sustainable, with BMW claiming a 30 percent lower carbon footprint over its lifecycle compared with its earlier EVs. Performance figures place the iX3 in the heart of the niche midsize EV SUV segment. Two motors, a 322-horsepower synchronous unit at the rear and a 165-horsepower induction unit upfront, will offer a combined 463 horsepower and 476 pound-feet of torque. BMW estimates a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph. In typical BMW fasion, the rear motor does most of the work for that synonymous BMW RWD bias and feel, with the front only stepping in for added traction. BMW says energy losses are down 40 percent compared to its Gen5 motors. Weight has been cut 10 percent, and manufacturing costs have dropped 20 percent, savings that translate directly into usable range. Charging capability is where the iX3 stakes its biggest claim. On a compatible DC fast charger, you can now add about 230 miles of range in just 10 minutes or move from 10 to 80 percent in 21 minutes. At home, the optional BMW Wallbox Professional supports up to 19.2 kW. Every model also includes bi-directional functionality, so the SUV can power a campsite, feed solar energy back into a home system, or interact with the grid. The charging port is NACS standard with a CCS adapter included, giving you access to Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network as well as existing infrastructure across the U.S. Practicality also gets attention. Sitting on the SAV platform, the iX3 measures 188.3 inches long and rides on a longer 114.1-inch wheelbase, which should mean more rear-seat legroom. Cargo space is 30.4 cubic feet with the seats up and 65 cubic feet folded, along with a small two-cubic-foot frunk for cables or essentials. Towing capacity is rated at 4,400 pounds. Weight distribution is nearly even front to rear, and the battery’s low placement should help with handling and ride quality. Inside, the cabin now features BMW’s all-new Panoramic iDrive, which combines a 17.9-inch central display with a projection across the lower windshield called Panoramic Vision, similar to recent setups on Mercedes, Cadillac, and, more recently, Lincoln. The white squarcle steering wheel is a highlight and physical controls, thankfully, remain for critical functions like wipers and hazard lights, which is a welcome departure from screen-heavy rivals. BMW’s Intelligent Personal Assistant now learns routines and can automate frequent tasks, such as activating seat and wheel heaters on cold mornings. Interior materials include standard Veganza upholstery or optional Merino leather, and a Harman Kardon 13-speaker system is on the options list and you can extensively customize the ambience with several available colors. BMW also highlights features that point to a deeper shift in its vehicles. A new electronics backbone powered by four high-performance computers, referred to as “superbrains,” governs dynamics, infotainment, and driver assistance. One of them, called the Heart of Joy, processes inputs ten times faster than existing ECUs, while another oversees automated driving functions with twenty times the computing power. This architecture enables what BMW is calling symbiotic driver assistance, allowing light steering or braking inputs without disengaging lane-keeping or cruise control. Charging is equally advanced, with support for Plug & Charge contracts across multiple providers and an AI-controlled charging flap that opens automatically when you approach. Production will begin in Debrecen, Hungary in early 2026, with U.S. deliveries scheduled for mid-year. The first model available will be the dual-motor xDrive, with a rear-drive variant to follow. If you're in the market for a mid-size all-electric SUV, the iX3’s 400 mile range, fast-charging ability, and price point make it competitive with Tesla’s Model Y Performance, which offers 277 miles of range and slower 250 kW charging, and Mercedes’ EQE SUV 350, which costs around $79,000 for 2025, and delivers about 270 miles with a 170 kW peak. BMW’s real challenge will be convincing shoppers that the iX3’s blend of range, charging speed, and technology now delivers a more complete experience than its rivals.

The New BMW X5 xDrive30Li and XDrive40Li Are The Latest L...

Chinese customers’ love for long-wheelbase cars extends (pun intended) to the BMW X5. In what many of us in the West see as a strange expression of luxury, the Chinese market has a particular affinity for taking luxury and executive cars that would not normally be seen as limousines and stretching them for a longer wheelbase. Whether this is simply for added luxury and comfort, or to hire a chauffeur and be driven in the ultimate luxury of convenience, the Chinese market has an unprecedented demand for longer cars, with models like the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, and even the Mercedes-Benz A-Class getting the long-wheelbase treatment and sumptuous rear seating, making them into little limousines. MUST READ: BMW Group Sets Sales Records For 2021, and Electric Cars Helped In a Big Way The newest car to become a part of this strange long-wheelbase phenomenon is the BMW X5. The lengthened X5 retains all of the qualities that make it a global hit, like its xDrive all-wheel-drive system, smart luxury, and sleek looks. However, for the Chinese market, length isn’t the only bonus that the long-wheelbase X5 receives. The second-row seats also get four degrees of extra reclining, and the rear seats also receive ambient lighting, extra controls, and a smartphone tray for the bonafide Chinese market rear seat experience. BMW cites its commitment to the Chinese market as the reason for making the long-wheelbase X5 and has gone as far as building this new X5 at a plant in Shenyang, China, making it the first executive-segment BMW X model to be made in China. The long-wheelbase BMW X5 will be available in China starting in April, and it’s a luxury SUV, “made in China, for China.” Source: BMW

ALPINA Unleashes the 2021 XB7

When an automaker trusts a supplier enough to give them exclusivity, anything is possible. ALPINA has been building wild examples of BMW models for decades. That is how they have been granted manufcaturer status in Germany. Having integrated their parts into BMW's assembly plants is not unlike how Mercedes treated AMG during their early days. That is why we're happy to introduce the 2021 ALPINA XB7. Top 50 Best Exotic Cars & Supercars Of All Time Turning up the boost and freeing up the exhaust allows it to offer 621 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque between 2,000-5,000 rpm. Sent to all wheels by a ZF 8-speed automatic, we're glad that 6th gear is 1:1. Much like 4th gear in six-speed manual transmissions, it locks the crankshaft directly to the differential. This allows no power to be lost by mechanical disadvantage inside the transmission. Gears 7 & 8 are deep overdrives for cruising at triple-digit speeds. You will be at 62 mph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 180 mph. Click the button below to experience an X7 for yourself, and our dealers will be happy to reserve your new ALPINA.
