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 24-Karat Gold Decorations On The New Bugatti Chiron L...

When it comes to craftsmanship, Bugatti is the gold standard. Bugatti has always represented automotive excellence and opulence, and the meticulous way in which its cars are built, with the absolute finest materials and most painstaking attention to detail is unmatched just about anywhere else in the automotive industry. However, if we know one thing, it’s that Bugatti is not a brand that refuses to rest on any laurels, and the luxury, quality, and artistry of a Bugatti spares absolutely no expense, and this is even more true in the case of the new Bugatti Chiron L’Ébé, which for the first time for Bugatti, is decorated in 24-karat gold. MUST READ: Bugatti Unveils The Chiron L’Ébé, A Special Edition Series Honoring Ettore Bugatti’s Daughter This feat, achieved in conjunction with Bavarian minting and embossing company Poellath GmbH & Co. KG, is not only an effort that displays unbridled craftsmanship but also an engineering challenge that took five years to overcome, as pure gold is soft and sensitive. The process of applying and polishing the gold on the Macaron emblem involves taking the sterling silver, nickel-plated Macaron and applying a thin layer of gold which is then polished, and the mostly manual effort takes more than ten hours. Along with the Macaron, the “EB” logo and other accents also feature the gold, and against the “Blue Royal” carbon bodywork and the Silk/Lake Blue interior, the car is a stunning homage to the Art Deco era of style, a time that was a golden age for Bugatti and an age the car’s namesake, L’Ébé, Ettore Bugatti’s daughter, was known for. As the L’Ébé makes up the final three Bugatti Chirons, Bugatti had no choice but to let the iconic hypercar go out with a bang. View All Bugattis For Sale Source: Bugatti

Bugatti Unveils The Chiron L'Ébé, A Special Edition Serie...

Three stunning Bugatti Chiron models created by a father's love for his daughter. While the Bugatti name is built from the ultimate pursuit of design, performance, and technology, the brand still operates with the same family values as when Ettore Bugatti opened his doors in 1901. After decades of adapting with ongoing changes within the automotive industry, Bugatti continues to celebrate its historic beginning and the influential individuals that help to shape it into one of the most popular hypercar manufacturers in the world. Bugatti is proud to unveil a special Chiron collection that pays homage to L’Ébé Bugatti, the daughter and eldest child of Ettore. The exclusive Bugatti series that honors L’Ébé includes three European delivered hand-crafted examples, featuring a Chiron and two Chiron Sports design in house at the Molsheim factory. Bugatti Being the pride and joy of Ettore, the Bugatti Chiron draws inspiration from L’Ébé’s love of Art Deco style and incorporates characteristics from the famous Bugatti Type 57 G Tank that won Le Mans in 1937. The exterior showcases an exposed blue-tinted carbon fiber finish with gold accents that shimmer against the elegant body lines of the Chiron. Gold highlights are also found on the “EB” badging, the famous horseshoe grille and parts of the 8.0-liter W16 engine cover. The signature of L’Ébé is subtly hidden on the underside of the retractable rear spoiler that engages when the Chiron takes on its aggressive track-mode stance. The factory lightweight sport wheels also present an elegant gold design, contrasting against the shape of Bugatti’s traction-grabbing source. Bugatti The minimal interior design mirrors the exterior, using ‘Silk’ leather and ‘Lake Blue’ highlights to reverse the one-of-a-kind configuration. Welcoming its lucky new owner, the Bugatti Chiron presents its tread plates and sport-style seats with L’Ébé’s signature in gold. Each door panel features a motif of the visual evolution of Bugatti’s most iconic cars, from early Grand Prix racers through to EB110, Veyron and Chiron. L’Ébé’s numerous bespoke touches perfectly showcase Bugatti’s limitless creativity and craftsmanship when it comes to exclusive tailor-made projects. The three exclusive Bugatti Chiron L’Ébé mark the end of Chiron and Chiron Sport in Europe. The Bugatti Chiron L’Ébé and a Chiron L’Ébé Sport have already been delivered, and the third model will be delivered by the end of the month.

See a Bugatti Chiron Hit 257 MPH on the Autobahn

He drove at the highest speed ever recorded on a public highway, and now he’s done it again. Radim Passer tried three times to achieve the top speed of his Bugatti Veyron on the Autobahn, and in 2015, he reached 250 miles per hour, which was the highest speed ever recorded on a public highway at that time. Bugatti themselves called to congratulate him on breaking this speed record. His incredible feat comes after two failed attempts due to weather and an issue with the transmission, but even after such a triumph, he didn’t stop there. When Bugatti released the Chiron, Radim knew that he wanted to test that car as well, and six years after his visit to Wittenberg, Germany to test the Veyron on the Autobahn and reach 250 miles per hour, he braved the highway again with the newer, faster Chiron. MUST READ: This Man Has Driven Nearly Every Bugatti Since 2004 The test was only able to happen after the Chiron was sent back to its birthplace, the Molsheim Atelier in Alsace, France, so that Bugatti and their Atelier experts could make sure that the Chiron would be in perfect shape to reach speeds over 250 miles per hour on the Autobahn, and when they gave Radim Passer the green light, he pushed the Chiron to its absolute limits, reaching 257 miles per hour on the Autobahn. Check out the video to see it all happen; it isn’t often that we truly get to see a Bugatti do exactly what its engineers meant it to.

The Bugatti Chiron is 40 Build Slots Away From Being Sold...

What will come next? It was in 2016 that the Bugatti Chiron was unveiled to the world. After the unveiling, it took just 18 months for Bugatti to sell 300 build slots for the Chiron, a more than impressive feat. Now, just a couple of years later, Bugatti has announced that just 40 build slots remain. For those remaining slots, the hypercar model will only be available in Chiron Pur Sport and Chiron Super Sport form. Bugatti also notes that the final examples of the Chiron and Chiron Sport are currently being made or are scheduled to be built. What Bugatti has accomplished with the Chiron is astounding. The Chiron's attractiveness comes from not only its beauty but also its groundbreaking capabilities. A perfect moment in time that was truly historic was when the Chiron Super Sport broke the 300 mph barrier and set a new world record top speed for a production car. Simply put, the Chiron's specs are out of this world. While it may be a sad day when the final Chiron rolls out of Bugatti's Molsheim Atelier, it will be exciting to see what's next. Below are a few of the major production milestones for the Bugatti Chiron. March, 2017 First Chiron customer deliveries take place following its global unveiling at Geneva International Motorshow in 2016. May, 2018 100th Chiron is delivered to a customer in the Middle East. February, 2020 250th Chiron produced as limited production run of 500 units enters second half. March, 2021 300th Chiron leaves the Atelier in Molsheim – a Pur Sport as one of just 60 vehicles. November, 2021 Chiron Pur Sport and Super Sport to round off Chiron family production as final 40 units. All Bugatti Chirons For Sale Source: Bugatti
