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.

The BMW M2 Breaks Nürburgring Record With M Performance Track Kit

By Tyler Rampersaud – July 06, 2026

BMW Breaks Nürburgring Record With The M2

The BMW M2 is a favorite among several enthusiasts, thanks to its small footprint and brawny powertrain. Alongside that pairing are sharp design, impressive dynamics, and performance-focused aerodynamics, making for a sports car that embodies BMW’s beloved approach to performance beautifully. After it’s already proved its mettle on one of the world’s most respected and challenging circuits, the Nürburgring, the BMW M2 has earned yet another accolade on the legendary track, thanks to its M Performance Track Kit. With the Track Kit, the BMW M2 managed to lap the Nordschleife circuit in a mere 7:25.068, besting the BMW M2 CS by 0.5 seconds. A new chassis, developed specifically for the M2, as well as the aggressive aerodynamics lent by the Track Kit gave the car what it needed to eclipse the already blisteringly quick lap time. Verified by TÜV Rheinland on May 22, the new lap record is a milestone for BMW’s M Performance portfolio, and the challenge was exacerbated by high temperatures and oil traces on the track. The M Performance Track Kit gives BMW M2 owners the opportunity to make their car even more focused for track days. It includes a front splitter which is adjustable, aero flicks, a swan-neck rear wing with manual adjustability and a dedicated Race Mode, and a coilover suspension, which combines motorsport dampers with road approval. <- Gallery -> The aerodynamics were created with extensive wind tunnel testing, and expert BMW M driver and chassis development test engineer Jörg Weidinger oversaw the setup. Using the powerful and compact BMW M2 as its basis, the M Performance Track Kit makes the M2 an undoubtedly formidable track-ready car, which was proven on one of the world’s most hallowed racing venues, the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

Revealed: The New BMW M2 with M xDrive

Compact coupes have long been at the heart of BMW M's performance legacy, starting with the iconic E30 M3, continuing through the highly sought-after E82 1M, and evolving today in the form of the G87 M2. Each generation has carried the same formula of short wheelbases, rear-wheel-drive, and driver-focused performance that has made these cars timeless among enthusiasts. BMW is making a subtle but significant change to its winning formula with the new 2027 BMW M2 xDrive, starting at $73,600 plus $1,350 destination and handling. By adding all-wheel drive for the first time, the brand is giving its smallest M coupe some extra traction without losing the character it's known for. The science behind M xDrive is both sophisticated and proven, using an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch in the transfer case to split power between the front and rear axles as needed. In normal driving conditions, the M2 still sends power exclusively to the rear wheels, staying true to its rear-wheel DNA. Only when the rear wheels lose traction does the system bring the fronts into play. Working alongside the Active M Differential, which allocates power between the rear wheels, the setup is aimed at retaining that signature M driving experience, with just an extra bit of confidence for the driver. The M2 with M xDrive sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, a full 0.3 seconds quicker than the rear-wheel drive model. Using the one-foot rollout method brings that down to 3.3 seconds. Top speed is limited to 155 mph from the factory, though opting for the M Driver's Package raises that to 177 mph. The same 473-horsepower inline-six with BMW M TwinPower Turbo carries over to the xDrive model, equipped with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. For those who still want the full rear-wheel drive experience, BMW has kept that option available with the M2. Through the M Setup menu, drivers can select 2WD mode with DSC fully deactivated, sending all torque to the rear wheels only. It’s something that recognizes the M2's core audience while still opening the car up to a demographic of drivers who want the M2 experience across all four seasons in conditions where rear-wheel drive cars are often tucked away for winter months. Lookwise, the M2 with M xDrive will be offered in five metallic and three solid exterior colors, plus six BMW Individual options. One of the predicted favorites is BMW Individual Borusan Turkish Blue, a special paint finish making its M2 debut with this model. Launch is set for late summer 2026, and for anyone who has been waiting for an M2 they can drive confidently through a New England winter without giving anything up on a track day, the wait is almost over.

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.

BMW M Celebrates The World Premiere Of The New BMW M2 CS

The new BMW M2 CS is on its way. For decades, BMW's legendary performance division has been defined by a single, unmistakable letter: M. From icons like the E30 M3 and the V10-powered E60 M5 to the track-focused M4 CSL, these M cars have set the benchmark for performance and everyday usability. Among the latest to wear the badge is the BMW M2, taking shape as a compact that captures the essence of M in its lightweight two-door form. While F87 and G87 generations played a crucial role in paving the way for the M2's ongoing legacy, BMW is proud to write a new chapter for the M2 with an exclusive worldwide unveiling of the new BMW M2 CS at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2025. BMW just released the design of the M2 CS as part of the Concours' kick-off on Lake Como, which takes place from May 23rd to 25th. While figures and specifics are waiting to be announced on May 28th, photos reveal an up-close look at what BMW fanatics can expect from the M-division. The new BMW M2 CS keeps that compact, short-wheelbase feel that makes it so much fun to drive, but now with a sportier, more evolved look. One of the easiest changes to spot is its wider body and redesigned rear trunk. Newly redesigned forged wheels keep the classic multi-spoke CS look but with a fresher, more modern twist. We're still waiting to hear the full story on what's under the hood and how much power we can expect, but it's safe to say this M2 CS is going to prove itself both on and off the track.
