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.

TheStradman's Car Collection Is As Cool As It Gets

This YouTube sensation has the ultimate dream garage. Utah-based YouTube personality TheStradman has built up quite the collection of cars. Owning cars from the most incredible brands like Bugatti, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and more, TheStradman is known for using his outstanding collection to the fullest and having lots of fun with his dream garage. He’s taken an Audi R8 off-road, had a teenager take a DMV license test in a Lamborghini, and pulled more hilarious and epic stunts that most of us could only dream of being able to do. While the cars in his collection come in and out as fast as TheStradman drives them, what remains the same throughout it all is his passion for cars and desire to have fun driving them, wherever that may be. TheStradman on YouTube " width="680"> How many cars does TheStradman own? The most recent count of his collection is 13 cars. Recently, TheStradman built a new home, complete with a large and beautiful garage to house his cars.

Obviously, since taking up YouTube, Stradman’s net worth, whatever that may be, is enough to support quite the desirable lifestyle. What is TheStradman’s real name? His real name is James. The origin of his screen name, however, comes from his dream car, which is the 2004 Ferrari Challenge Stradale, hence the name “Stradman.” What cars does TheStradman own? " width="680"> Ferrari 812 Superfast (formerly Michael B. Jordan's) When it was owned by actor Michael B. Jordan, this Ferrari was famously involved in an accident with a parked car.

It changed the precedent for high performance with its incredibly luxurious, bespoke, precise, and well-engineered design, and especially its W16 engine with a whopping four turbochargers. Currently, Stradman’s Bugatti is pink and chrome. Image Source: Instagram/TheStradman GMC Hummer EV The new GMC Hummer EV is now in TheStradman’s collection, and being the bold vehicle it is, it’s quite welcome in the group. The luxurious and impressive truck boasts an electric powertrain with three motors that gives it 1,000 total horsepower, and especially since it’s one of the latest additions to Stradman’s collection, it’s sure to see some awesome action soon.

Add on the fact that Stradman’s pink Liberty Walk Lamborghini Aventador Roadster comes with such a unique and striking body kit and color scheme, and you have quite the showpiece on your hands. Image Source: Instagram/TheStradman Lamborghini Murcielago 40th Anniversary One of the few cars not to feature the iconic Stradman purple wrap, Stradman’s Lamborghini Murcielago is a special one. It’s the extra-special 40th Anniversary edition, it’s finished in a special Verde Artemis color, a unique three-layer color that makes it one of the most unique and beautiful versions of the Murcielago. TheStradman made the right choice by letting this stunning color shine. Image Source: Instagram/TheStradman Ferrari 458 Spider One of the most iconic and beautiful Ferraris in recent memory is part of TheStradman’s collection. It’s the 458 Spider, the open-top version of the beautiful, dynamic and powerful 458 Italia. The car boasts a 3.0-second 0-60 time and a top speed of 199 mph, and beyond that is, as all of the Prancing Horse cars are, simply exhilarating. Image Source: Instagram/TheStradman Nissan GT-R TheStradman simply had to have one of the world’s most iconic and well-engineered performance cars, the Nissan GT-R. However, this one is quite special. It’s heavily modified inside and out, and with all of its modifications, it makes nearly 1,600 horsepower, and is bred to be a “Bugatti Killer.” Image Source: Instagram/TheStradman Lamborghini Urus Especially in this day and age, every collector needs a luxury performance SUV, and TheStradman chose to get one of the best ones available, and from one of his favorite automotive brands, Lamborghini. The Urus is as much an SUV as it is a supercar, with off-road capability as well as power and on-road dynamics to intimidate world-class performance cars from all over. " width="680"> Lamborghini Aventador For TheStradman, one Aventador simply isn’t enough. We can’t blame him though, because this Aventador Coupe with an incredible exposed custom carbon fiber body. If you could have more than one car with a V12 engine, all-wheel drive, and the best style and luxury, why not have more than one? Image Source: Instagram/TheStradman RAM TRX There’s nothing quite like a performance truck. Whether it’s on the road, on the sand, or anywhere in between, being in a great performance truck means sitting up high, driving fast, and dominating whatever is in front of you. The RAM TRX is one of the best performance trucks out, and TheStradman did well by getting one for his adventures. Image Source: Instagram/TheStradman Jeep Gladiator 6x6 The Gladiator is Jeep’s incredibly capable and enjoyable truck, with tough looks and tougher performance. However, TheStradman had to give it a bit more “oomph.” To do so, he enlisted the help of Agility Customs to convert it into a monstrous 6x6, and while it’s obviously tons of fun, it weighs literal tons, and according to a video in which he refuels his entire car collection, the Stradman Gladiator 6x6 makes around 9 miles per gallon… c’est la vie.

Watch Bill Goldberg Take Delivery Of His New 1-of-1 Dodge...

Watch a history-making muscle car in action. With the reveal of the new Dodge Charger, which introduces electrification to the legendary nameplate, the historic manufacturer, known for its integral contributions to what we know muscle cars to be today, entered a new and intriguing era. However, to send off the outgoing generation of Dodge SRT muscle cars, the brand decided to show its engineering mettle with the most groundbreaking performance it had created yet: in the form of the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. With 1,025 horsepower coming from its supercharged engine, the Demon 170 shattered records and wowed the entire automotive world with its acceleration ability, and one of its owners is none other than former NFL athlete and WWE Hall of Fame Inductee Bill Goldberg. Shown on his Goldberg’s Garage YouTube channel, the Demon 170 was added to his expansive collection of muscle cars, including the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon. In the new video, Goldberg brings his 2018 Dodge Demon in for service, and his ride home is his brand-new Demon 170. It’s finished in the special Green Machine paint color, making it the only one like it in existence, on top of the car boasting a sub-2-second 0-60 time, as well as a sub-9-second quarter-mile time. With the new car delivered, and the 2018 Demon’s service completed, the video captures both iconic game-changing muscle cars in action on the road, where both cars are brought back to the garage, taking their rightful place in the incredible collection. With performance that demonstrates the full splendor of muscle car engineering as we know it, in an era that is at its end, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 has already written a chapter in automotive history.
