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.

By Jordan Aquistapace – January 27, 2026

FIVE Pagani Hypercars, ONE Collection

Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026, Miller Motorcars has and continues to shape itself as a prestigious staple in the global automotive space, expanding its Greenwich, CT dealership into a mecca for luxury, super, and hypercars. Proud to host a number of exclusive manufacturers, including Pagani Automobili, Miller Motorcars takes just as much pride in the relationships it forms with passionate clients seeking to create incredible collections.

Recently, Miller Motorcars spent some time with a dear Pagani of Greenwich client and their impressive collection of five incredible Pagani examples, capturing the moment (photos by @carsthatlookneat) and celebrating the brand's lineage in one driveway. From one of Horacio’s earliest creations to the latest and greatest, the collection not only highlights the rarity in sheer numbers, but also the progression of Pagani and its forever focus on both craftsmanship and quality. While there are a couple of standout specs, three of the Paganis (Zonda F, Huayra BC, and Utopia Coupe) incorporate the color ‘Benny Bianco’, which was originally formulated by the manufacturer for Italian real estate entrepreneur and prominent Ferrari collector, Benny Caiola. A close friend and early supporter of Horacio and his dreams at Pagani Automobili, Benny’s initials were permanently inscribed on the Huayra BC series after his passing in 2010. That remains the main inspiration behind each of the three Pagani models that made history, while the two open-top versions show off exposed gloss and red carbon fiber finishes. As if the collection couldn’t get any more spectacular, you’ll be more than happy to hear that every one of these Paganis is well enjoyed on the open road by the owner.

Dimmitt Automotive Group Takes Delivery of TWO Aston Martin Valhalla Supercars

The Valhalla has been talked about, teased, and quietly obsessed over for years, making its eventual handover feel less like a reveal and more like a dream come true. For the team at Dimmitt Automotive Group, part of a 102-year family-run operation that has been around long enough to understand patience, this wasn’t about creating a spectacle. It was about finally welcoming an exclusive supercar that had been a long time in the making, and uniting it with two dear clients of the dealership. The Aston Martin Valhalla sits in a special place within the brand’s modern story. Developed alongside Aston Martin’s Formula 1 efforts, it marks the company’s first serious step into mid-engine hybrid supercar territory. The track-focused design reflects that shift immediately. It’s low, compact, and defined by function, with sharp surfaces and exposed aero elements that are purposeful rather than theatrical. Despite the technical focus, the Valhalla still carries a distinctly Aston presence, recognizable without relying on nostalgia. Inside, the cabin continues that theme, prioritizing the driver with a motorsport-inspired layout that’s surprisingly approachable for a car of this caliber. For two longtime Dimmitt Automotive clients, the day has come to collect one of Aston Martin's most highly-anticipated supercars. After years of waiting, their Valhallas finally arrived, each uniquely spec’d in Plasma Blue and Alluminate Silver finishes with tons of exposed carbon fiber, each marking the end of a patient journey and start of ownership. From the moment the shipping carrier arrived on scene, an intimate crowd of owners and dealership employees came together to witness the event unfold. With all software updates complete prior to release from port, all that is left is a quick PDI (pre-delivery inspection) by technicians before both Aston Martin Valhallas hit the road. What makes the Valhalla especially interesting is how its performance story has evolved since its start. Powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 paired with an electrified hybrid system (1,079HP/811 lb-ft), it’s the most advanced road car Aston Martin has ever built.

This Bugatti Bolide Owner Took Personalization All the Way to 40,000 Feet

A match made in heaven. Once upon a time, configuring a new car meant choosing a paint color, ticking a few option boxes, and calling it a day. Today, especially in the supercar and hypercar world, personalization has evolved into something far more expressive, with owners commissioning one-off rolling artworks shaped by personal taste, racing history, and even other toys parked in the same garage. From specs that mirror vintage competition cars to builds matched to something as specific as the color of a favorite pair of shoes, modern automotive design has become a deeply individual experience. One very special client of O’Gara Coach and Bugatti Beverly Hills took that thought and ran with it as the dealership recently showcased his brand-new Bugatti Bolide alongside his now-matching Gulfstream G550 private jet. One Bugatti collector took that idea to its logical extreme. Recently featured by O’Gara Coach and Bugatti Beverly Hills, his newly delivered Bugatti Bolide was shown parked alongside his matching Gulfstream G550 as a reminder of how far personalization can extend beyond the car itself. Starting with the track-only hypercar, the Bugatti Bolide shines as a return to the French marque’s racing roots, offering 40 of its best clients the opportunity to spec and own a piece of automotive history. The 1,600-horsepower Bolide hails from Molsheim, sporting a paint scheme inspired by the traditional colors of the brand, layered in Bugatti Blue and French Racing Blue just like its airworthy counterpart. The Gulfstream G550 has long been a favorite among owners and frequent flyers who value range, comfort, and quiet capability. With the ability to fly nonstop across continents and a cabin built for long hours in the air, it’s all more about getting anywhere in the world without a worry. And with what seems to be the perfect pair, you have to wonder what else lies in this owner’s collection. All O'Gara Coach Inventory View this post on Instagram A post shared by O'Gara (@ogaracoach)

This Aston Martin Collection Is What Dreams (and V12s) Are Made Of

If you could choose only one, which would it be? There’s no denying that while car collectors and enthusiasts share a deep appreciation for anything on four wheels, most still gravitate toward specific brands and models. Whether it’s a garage full of Italian prancing horses or a lineup of beautifully engineered British icons, marque-focused collections always manage to stand out. That looks to be the case for a dear client of Miller Motorcars and Aston Martin Greenwich, who was recently featured on the dealer’s Instagram, showcasing a jaw-dropping lineup of modern Aston Martin examples, which happens to be just a small portion of their collection. From exclusive open-top, track-focused hypercars to V12 Grand Tourers that embrace the last of a dying breed, you’ll have to explore the cars for yourself to believe it. Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider (1 of 85)The Valkyrie Spider takes Aston Martin’s most extreme road car and removes the roof without dulling the edges. Developed in collaboration with Red Bull Advanced Technologies, it pairs a naturally aspirated 6.5L Cosworth V12 engine with a hybrid system, resulting in a combined 1,160 horsepower. Built with Le Mans-style aerodynamics and an F1-inspired carbon tub, the Spider delivers brutal performance, capable of sprinting to 60 mph in around 2.5 seconds, while keeping the driving experience as raw and thrilling as possible. Aston Martin One-77 (1 of 77)Often mentioned as one of the most beautiful modern Aston Martins ever made, the One-77 was a statement car in every sense. Its naturally aspirated 7.3L V12, which is still the largest V12 ever fitted to a production supercar, produces 750 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. With a carbon fiber monocoque and aluminum bodywork, the One-77 could reach a top speed of over 220 mph, combining sculptural design with serious performance in a way few cars have ever achieved. Aston Martin V12 Speedster (1 of 88)The V12 Speedster is Aston Martin at its most unapologetically dramatic. Inspired by the 1959 Le Mans–winning DBR1, it ditches a windshield and roof entirely, wrapping a short-wheelbase chassis in speedster-style bodywork. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 5.2L V12 producing 700 horsepower, good for a 0–60 mph time of around 3.4 seconds. It’s less about performance numbers and more about the raw, loud, and intentionally uncompromised sensation it delivers. Aston Martin Valour (1 of 110)Built to celebrate Aston Martin’s 110th anniversary, the Valour represents a rare modern indulgence: a manual V12 grand tourer. Under the hood sits a twin-turbocharged 5.2L V12 producing 705 horsepower, paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. With its long hood, aggressive stance, and throwback design cues, the Valour is all about engagement, sound, and preserving a driving experience that’s quickly disappearing from the modern supercar landscape. Just scratching the surface of what seems to be a world-class car collection, you have to wonder what else takes up the garage space of a carefully curated collection like this.

Ferrari of Seattle Takes Historic Team Victory in Ferrari...

The 2025 Ferrari Challenge North America season showcased dramatic podium finishes and thrilling on-track battles. The spec-series using the Ferrari 296 Challenge saw 33 Ferrari Official Dealers and 95 drivers race over eight race weekends. The 2025 rounds included historic tracks such as Sonoma Raceway and Daytona International Speedway before wrapping up at Mugello Circuit. Ferrari of Seattle claimed the Coppa Team victory after a dominant season that included a historic Trofeo Pirelli class double podium sweep at Watkins Glen and resulted in finishing over 600 points clear of the next dealer. The team found success due to the accomplishment of their seven individual drivers. In the top-tier Trofeo Pirelli class, Massimo Perrina drove to the Driver Championship after 8 race victories. His season’s performance included two perfect weekends at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Watkins Glen – claiming pole position, finishing first and setting the fastest race lap. Sharing the podium with Massimo Perrina multiple times over the season was Roberto Perrina, his uncle and the Sales and Marketing Director at Ferrari of Seattle. Roberto Perrina finished the season in third, narrowly missing out on the silver place. Another big haul of points for the Seattle team came from the Coppa Shell class. Yahn Bernier, a Ferrari Challenge driver for Ferrari of Seattle since 2020, had a strong year with 6 victories and a podium finish in all but 2 races, which ultimately cost him the championship by 11 points. “Mitchell Green and I knew it was going to be a close battle all season - he said it to me before the first race at Sonoma,” shared Bernier when asked about the season-long battle. “Mitchell is very quick and has become a very consistent racer and really upped his racecraft – and has become a good friend.” Bernier went on to close out the season with a second-place finish in Finali Mondiali (World Finals), out-performing drivers from around the world. The Seattle drivers constantly pushed each other, searching for improvements at every corner and practice session. In the Trofeo Pirelli Am class, it was the first-time victory by Michael Porter that showed the hard work had paid off. Coming off a low-placing Race 1 at Watkins Glen, Porter turned it around the next day to not only set the fastest qualifying time for pole position, but to finish the race in first place. “The win was a dream come true. Pulling into Parc Ferme in Watkins Glen and seeing all three of my teammates already there pounding on my hood is a memory I won’t forget,” said Porter, describing the moment he realized his team had taken a podium sweep in the upper class. The Watkins Glen weekend was historic for the Ferrari Challenge series as the first time a singular Ferrari dealership team had finished on every step of the podium in class. Ferrari of Seattle completed that feat in Trofeo Pirelli at both races for a statement performance. While in Italy, Ferrari of Seattle also picked up an award off the track as Anna Choi, service consultant, received the highest recognition as the Top After Sales Ambassador in the Ferrari Testa Rossa Awards. The global competition uses knowledge testing and client simulation to determine the top ambassador among all Ferrari dealerships. The award connects Ferrari of Seattle’s attention to detail from the dealership to the track. The Ferrari 296 Challenge is a track-only variant based off the road-going Ferrari 296 GTB and features a de-hybridized twin-turbo V6 engine with over 700 hp, advanced aerodynamics, and lightweight construction. The Ferrari 296 Challenge replaced the Ferrari 488 Challenge which ran in the series from 2017 to 2024 and can be driven in multi-make racing or for personal enjoyment. View Challenge Cars For Sale

Three sports cars—one red, one black, and an ultra-rare Ferrari Daytona SP3 with white stripes—are parked side by side on a paved area next to a mossy rock wall, possibly showcased by Miller Motorcars.

Miller Motorcars Shows Off THREE Ultra-Rare Ferrari Dayto...

Maranello's modern hypercar comes best in threes. Engineered as both a track weapon and the future of an Italian legacy built on craftsmanship and performance, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 epitomizes Enzo’s drive to stay true to the brand and its racing roots. Today, with monumental predecessors like the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari, the Daytona SP3 continues to write its own chapter with 599 examples allocated to Ferrari’s most VIP clients, often joining already-impressive collections of Italian prancing horses. Showcasing Ferrari’s wide spectrum of colors and a small percentage of its production, the team at Miller Motorcars of Greenwich, CT, recently gathered three of its clients’ Daytona SP3 hypercars for what looks to be the photoshoot of the year. @millermotorcars/@carsthatlookneat Instagram Starting with the most traditional, heritage-forward spec, the first of the SP3 trio comes finished in multi-layer Rosso Magma with hand-painted Ferrari shields. Delivered new back in February, the build also features other personalized touches, courtesy of the owner, like matte bronze finished wheels and an American flag badge on the rear bumper. Next in the lineup takes on a more sinister style with a classic Nero Daytona paint scheme, accentuated by a set of satin-finished factory silver wheels and hand-painted Ferrari shields. Taking ownership back in March, the all-black Daytona SP3 remains a timeless spec that blends the past and future of Ferrari. And last, but certainly not least, a seriously stunning Daytona SP3 that is new to us, sporting a color that is unknown to us, but what we will call a metallic light purple carbon. The light viola shade showcases a whole new appearance to the car, exposing its carbon fiber structure while highlighting its racing roots with a silver Scuderia-style racing stripe. Add in beautiful hand-painted Ferrari shields, and those gloss silver forged wheels, and we may have a contender for best Daytona SP3 spec of all time. @millermotorcars/@carsthatlookneat Instagram When it comes to the cabin, these owners optioned for their Daytona SP3s with vibrant interior designs that shy away from traditional black and beige leathers, pushing the creative boundaries of Ferrari’s upholstery team. And while carbon fiber seems to cover almost every inch of the interior, helping to identify its ultra-lightweight DNA, the carbon Daytona-style seats act as a blank canvas for limitless color options. All the colors featured look to pair perfectly with their exterior paint choices: Oro Jeans Aunde on the Rosso Magma, blue for the Nero Daytona, and a grey alcantara inside the exposed purple carbon. @millermotorcars/@carsthatlookneat Instagram The Ferrari Daytona SP3 pairs its design heritage with some truly impressive mechanical credentials, starting with a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 that produces 829 horsepower and revs to an astonishing 9,500 rpm. Power is managed through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering quick, precise shifts that keep the car composed even as it works through its upper range. Performance numbers reinforce just how capable the SP3 is: 0–62 mph sprint in roughly 2.8 seconds, 0–124 mph in about 7.4 seconds, and top speed exceeds 211 mph.

Earth MotorCars Joins The Exclusive List of Gunther Werks...

Gunther Werks teams up with Earth MotorCars, making its remastered Porsche 911s and F-26 program more accessible in Texas. Gunther Werks, known for turning the Porsche 911 into something even more special, is now officially laying its roots in Texas. Earth MotorCars in Carrollton, just outside Dallas, joins the small but growing list of U.S. dealerships where enthusiasts can get their hands on one of Gunther Werks’ remastered Porsche builds. All five of the company’s programs, including the recently released F-26, are available for commission, giving local owners a chance to experience these one-of-a-kind 911s without making the trip to California or even further. The pairing makes a lot of sense. Gunther Werks has spent years quietly perfecting its approach to the Porsche 911, handcrafting every detail in Huntington Beach, California. Earth MotorCars, founded in 2006 by Frank Cortese and Brad Hansing, is a staple of the Dallas-Fort Worth luxury car scene, known for an inventory that spans hundreds of exotics and a VIP approach that keeps collectors coming back. Put them together, and it’s more about giving serious enthusiasts a place to see, touch, and drive some of the most meticulously crafted 911s on the planet. Peter Nam, Gunther Werks’ founder, framed the partnership as the next step in making these cars easier to access for collectors across the U.S. Cortese and Hansing were quick to add that once someone slips behind the wheel, there’s no going back. With existing locations in Beverly Hills, Miami, New York, Hong Kong, and Victoria, British Columbia, this Texas stop fits neatly into Gunther Werks’ ongoing plan: more access for fans, more remastered 911s out in the wild, and plenty of people talking about what’s next for one of the coolest names in the Porsche world.
