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.

Check Out Joe Rogan's New Porsche 911 Build by The RSR Pr...

Joe Rogan adds another classic Porsche to his collection. Whether you're an A-list celebrity with a collection or the average Joe with enough garage space for a weekend canyon cruiser, everyone is fascinated by specific brands and models and how they fuel their automotive obsessions. For many, Porsche seems to be the common choice to fill that void in their life, specifically the 911 and its timeless styling, driver-centric DNA, and motorsport-inspired performance. One of Porsche's biggest fans actually happens to be a Joe, not an average Joe, but world-renowned American podcaster, actor, comedian, and former UFC commentator and television host, Joe Rogan. He's now making waves in the automotive world after recently collaborating on an Instagram post with The RSR Project, showcasing his brand-new Porsche 911 build. @kieranbuttrick Joining a diverse fleet that reflects Rogan's taste in everything from high-horsepower trucks to nut-and-bolt muscle car restorations, The RSR Project 911, named Silver 2, will reside next to other Porsches like his SharkWerks 997 911 GT3 RS, Porsche 964 911 RS America, and 993 Gunther Werks 911. Silver 2 Build features a stunning gloss silver finish that gives off the appearance of natural, bare metal perfectly sculpted into Porsche's iconic 911 silhouette. The massive rear duck tail spoiler, exposed center-exit exhaust, and legendary Fuchs wheels give this 911 such a presence, even while sitting completely still. @kieranbuttrick @kieranbuttrick Inside, the cabin has been completely stripped and re-upholstered in a period-correct style that breathes new life into the interior. Black leather bucket seats steal the show with bright red lap harnesses, while the cross-woven insert pattern is found stretched across the dash as matching trim. It's all about period-correct simplicity, with new seats, lightweight carpet, and clean finishes that make the car feel like it rolled straight out of the '70s. Subtly styled in a way that still preserves the history of early production Porsche 911s, it's clear that The RSR Project's mission is to keep these cars out of garages and on roads and tracks. @kieranbuttrick Building an RSR Project car is about creating a legend piece by piece. Starting with a 3.2 Carrera as the donor, the shell is transformed with steel flares, fiberglass panels, and fresh paint to capture the original RSR profile. From there, the mechanics get a full refresh, with rebuilt engines and transmissions, upgraded suspension, new brakes, and wheels that stay true to the iconic 2.8 RSR look. Every detail is done in-house, every step held to the same high standard, and the result is a car that looks, feels, and drives like the RSR dream, but built for real miles, not just showroom shine. And now that Joe Rogan holds the keys to his very own build by The RSR Project, we cannot wait to see him behind the wheel of Silver 2 and what he thinks of it.

Patrick Dempsey Reveals Which Porsche He Really Wants To ...

Hollywood actor Patrick Dempsey has revealed that his personal car collection is missing a couple of Porsche models from eras that he’d like to complete—but he fears he doesn’t have the space to do so. Talking to duPont REGISTRY on a call with selected media, the Grey’s Anatomy TV star – who recently played racing great Piero Taruffi in Michael Mann’s Ferrari movie – said that he’s currently awaiting delivery of a new 911 Dakar. “I'm waiting on the Dakar right now; hopefully, I'll get that in about a month or so,” said Dempsey. “I have the 911 R that I got in 2015, my 356 from 1963, a Coupe from 1964, a ’72 T, and I've got my little tractor too, the Junior. “I'm currently driving the 911 Turbo, which I really love as a daily driver. It's fantastic. I just got my daughter the Macan, so she's really enjoying that car. And my wife has the Targa, so we're full-on Porsche family, and my boys love them too.” 1963 Porsche 356 B 1600 Super 90 (Source: PCNA) Dempsey bought his 356 after starring in the romcom Can't Buy Me Love in 1987, using his first major acting role to buy a car that he still owns to this day. “I spent my whole paycheck on that car, and at that time, I think I got the car for $8000 or $9000,” he said. “Probably the best investment I've ever had. You know, to this day, it just makes me smile, and it’s so easy to maintain. I've had a lot of different brands, a lot of different cars, but there's nothing like that car. “I can leave it for a month or two, and I just take a second, and it turns over, and you go off and drive, and it just makes you so happy. People see you coming, and they're just really open and warm and friendly, and they give you the thumbs up, and they're smiling, and they're waving. It's incredible, and it's been with me for over 30 years plus now.” 2024 Porsche Macan 4 (Source: PCNA) When asked what he’s looking for right now, in terms of collector cars, Dempsey says that space is the biggest issue when it comes to adding to his Porsche range – but that a 914/6 is at the top of his wishlist. “I just wish I had more space to put them,” he sighed. “You know, it'd be nice to be able to develop a really nice selection, so a 914/6 is something I'd like to add to my collection. Certainly something from the ’50s and the ’90s, so I’ve got one from every era. “Number one, Porsches are just works of art. They're beautiful to look at and they're fun to drive, and they're great investments that you never lose your money on. And they make me happy!” VIew All Porsches For Sale

Sebastian Vettel Successfully Tests The Porsche 963 In Spain

Who knew an F1 legend and an endurance racer would be a recipe for success? Sebastian Vettel is known and celebrated for a legacy of racing excellence, and his incredibly successful Formula 1 career, winning over 50 Grands Prix and also claiming four championship wins. Days ago, it was announced that the F1 legend was getting behind the wheel of Porsche’s newest endurance racing hypercar: the 963, to test it out in and help prepare the car to take on this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, a race that Porsche has 19 times overall. Vettel took to the Motorland Aragón race track in Spain, and there, he was able to drive the 963 for a total of 118 laps, with 361 miles covered between two double stints. However, it started in Germany, where Vettel met the Porsche Penske Motorsport team. Then, a simulation session prepared him for the ins and outs of the car, and his first laps in the real car took place at Weissach. After that, he took to Spain, driving the distance of two F1 Grands Prix with no problems on the track. Despite having expertise in the world of Formula 1, Vettel has a curiosity and admiration for other parts of the wide world of motorsport. Not only did he get to experience an endurance racing hypercar on-track, but he also played a part in Porsche’s preparations for one of the world’s most historic, challenging, and anticipated races: the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Porsche hopes to continue its success, winning the season openers for both the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship at Daytona and the FIA WEC in Qatar. With the help of a racing legend from another discipline, Porsche looks forward to the 101st 24 Hours of Le Mans. View All Porsches For Sale Image Source: Porsche

Magnus Walker Drives A 930 Porsche 911 With A Former McLa...

McLaren meets Porsche in this wild restomod project. When you ask a car enthusiast to picture a sports car, the unmistakable silhouette of the Porsche 911 would appear in the imagination of many, and for purists, it would more specifically be the image of one of the most iconic generations of the 911: the 80s air-cooled 930. This iconic time in the 911’s 60-year history is one of the most important generations when it comes to cementing the Porsche 911’s legacy as one of the world’s favorite sports cars, and this specific example features not only an incredible restomod of the 930 911, but a modernized and elevated celebration of its history. Driven by famed British car collector Magnus Walker for his YouTube channel, one of the first notable things about this 911 is its art-car design, which uses white paintwork as a blank canvas for a stunningly creative and colorful livery. The next noticeable aspect of the car is the engine note, which isn’t the typical flat-six 911 note, because it’s not a flat-six that’s under the hood, rather a V6 is in its place. That specific V6 was the result of an 80s collaboration between McLaren and Porsche, in which McLaren’s F1 team and the famous British Lanzante looked to Porsche for an engine, and Porsche provided an engine that was tested, rather than in an F1 car, in a 930 911. To celebrate the legacy, Lanzante, with the help of the prestigious and prolific O'Gara Coach built 11 cars with these former F1 racing engines in 930 911s. The specific car that Walker drives in the video uses the engine from the F1 car that Stefan Johnson drove in the 1987 Austrian GP, and Stefan Johnson sat with him in the passenger seat for the ride. Johnson is also responsible for the wild art car livery. With incredible performance, retro charm, a true driver’s car philosophy, and one of the most legendary histories that a sports car can have, this drive is incredible to watch.

Watch Dwyane Wade Race A Porsche Tractor At Rennsport Reu...

One of basketball’s biggest names tries his hand at tractor racing. Dwyane Wade is known for an incredibly successful career in the NBA, playing for the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls from 2003 until 2019. With three championships and an MVP title to his name, he’s a household name in the world of basketball, with an illustrious post-retirement celebrity status as well. This past weekend, Dwyane Wade took to one of the automotive world’s most anticipated events to expand his horizons beyond the sport, and instead test his skills at tractor racing. That event was, of course, Porsche’s Rennsport Reunion 7, the highly anticipated Porsche fan gathering which saw a record number of over 91,000 guests, making it the world’s largest Porsche event. Held at the iconic WeatherTech Laguna Seca Raceway, the track was the center of the festivities, in keeping with the “Rennsport” name, which translates to “race sport.” One of the most anticipated races at the event was a Rennsport Reunion favorite: the Porsche Tractor race. It isn’t the most intense race, as the vintage Porsche Tractors are only able to reach speeds of 15 mph, but the humor and absurdity of the race makes it an irresistible watch, and the challenging Laguna Seca Raceway, especially the legendary Corkscrew corner certainly helps. With a once-in-a-lifetime racing experience at Porsche’s biggest event yet, Dwyane Wade’s participation in the Rennsport Reunion 7 Porsche Tractor race added significantly to the event’s splendor, which served as a celebration of Porsche’s 75th anniversary, the Porsche 911’s 60th anniversary, and everything that makes Porsche the brand that is loved by so many.
