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 Super Bee Nameplate Makes a Comeback With Dodge’s Most Powerful SIXPACK Charger Yet

Following the updates introduced for the 2027 Charger lineup, Dodge has revived one of its most iconic performance nameplates with the 2027 Charger Super Bee Launch Edition, a limited-production model that pushes the twin-turbocharged SIXPACK platform to 600 horsepower. The reveal took place at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, during Roadkill Nights 2026, where Dodge celebrated the return of the Super Bee with drift demonstrations, burnouts and street-legal drag racing on Woodward Avenue for the 11th consecutive year. The new Super Bee becomes the most powerful version of the nameplate ever produced, surpassing the 485-horsepower 2023 Charger Super Bee by 115 horsepower. Its 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six produces 531 pound-feet of torque, helping the new model get from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and complete the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds. But for the Mopar faithful, the biggest change is not the performance figures but what's under the hood, unlike the previous-generation Super Bee, which featured the potent 6.4-liter HEMI V8, the new model transitions into Dodge's SIXPACK era with a turbocharged inline-six. This change marks a major shift for a nameplate that has long been associated with traditional American muscle. The Super Bee debuted back in 1968 on the Dodge Coronet platform, offering big-block performance in a more accessible package. Available with legendary powerplants, including the 426 HEMI, the Super Bee became one of Mopar's most recognizable muscle-car names. It joined the Charger lineup in 1971, returned as a limited-production modern Charger variant in 2007, and most recently closed out the previous generation in 2023. For this latest Super Bee, Dodge's goal was not simply to create a higher-output Charger, but to build a performance model capable of delivering repeatable power on both the drag strip and the road course. The additional output comes from larger 56 mm Garrett turbochargers, revised engine calibration, increased airflow and upgraded cooling systems. Compared with the 550-horsepower Charger Scat Pack, Dodge says the Super Bee delivers stronger boost response, a broader torque curve and greater sustained performance during repeated high-performance driving. The thermal upgrades are equally significant. A redesigned high-flow front fascia increases airflow to the cooling stack by 30 percent, while additional radiators raise high-temperature cooling capacity by more than 50 percent. Dodge also claims the revised aerodynamic package adds more than 100 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. The chassis too receives upgrades to match the increased output, starting with 16-inch Brembo vented rotors at all four corners, paired with six-piston front and four-piston rear fixed calipers. Forged 20-by-11-inch wheels wrapped in 305/35ZR20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 tires provide additional grip, while new dual-valve adaptive dampers and revised suspension tuning are designed to make this the most track-focused Super Bee yet. Standard all-wheel drive remains, but you can switch to rear-wheel drive at any speed using a dedicated steering-wheel button. Track Mode, Drag Mode, Torque Reserve, Launch Control and Line Lock are also included, giving the Super Bee the tools to attack both corners and straight-line acceleration. The front end also carries Dodge’s revived Fratzog emblem, a geometric badge originally used across the brand’s performance cars from the 1960s through the 1970s. The redesigned Super Bee logo incorporates a turbine-inspired element to reflect the twin-turbo SIXPACK engine, while new cloth high-back performance seats add a more focused cabin experience. <- Gallery -> Like the rest of the Charger lineup, the Super Bee will be available in both two-door coupe and four-door sedan configurations. The Launch Edition will be offered in Sucker Punch, Shady and Diamond Black, with unique Super Bee graphics, Hyper Lime brake calipers and model-specific interior trim. Dodge has not yet released curb weight or top speed, whereas pricing, production numbers, and availability details will be announced later in 2026.

Ram Reveals 777-hp, 170-mph Rumble Bee SRT Muscle Truck

When Ram discontinued the ferocious Viper-powered SRT-10 nearly two decades ago, the American muscle truck segment lost one of its most outrageous icons. Now, the brand is bringing the formula back with even more force. Enter the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT, a supercharged, 777-horsepower performance pickup designed to blur the line between luxury grand tourer, drag-strip bruiser, and track-capable machine. At the top of the new Rumble Bee lineup, the SRT variant arrives as the most powerful V8-powered production pickup truck ever built, capable of sprinting from 0-60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, running the quarter mile in 11.6 seconds at 116 mph, and reaching a targeted top speed of 170 mph. Ram says the truck was engineered under SRT’s “last tenth” philosophy, applying the same motorsport-inspired mindset now tied to the brand’s NASCAR program. The result is a pickup that delivers the kind of acceleration figures once reserved for exotic supercars while retaining the capability expected from a modern Ram. Even with its focus on outright speed, the Rumble Bee SRT still offers up to 8,890 pounds of towing capacity and 1,160 pounds of payload. “There was a time when pick-up trucks were considered work vehicles. Today, Ram has a truck for every customer – from the work ready Tradesman to full-blown luxury in Tungsten,” said Tim Kuniskis, head of American Brands, SRT Performance and North America Marketing at Stellantis. “Somehow, the idea of muscle trucks was labeled unnecessary, but since that describes so many products that captivated enthusiast’s hearts, minds and wallets, Ram is going all-in – pushing for the last tenth with a full-range of Rumble Bee Muscle Trucks.” Powering the halo-spec Rumble Bee SRT is the familiar yet still devastating 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat HEMI V-8. Producing 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque, it becomes the most powerful internal combustion engine ever offered in a production pickup. The twin-screw 2.4-liter supercharger generates 13 psi of boost, while a reinforced TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission channels power through an active four-wheel-drive system. Yet Ram’s engineers clearly wanted the truck to retain a more playful personality. A dedicated button next to the console shifter disconnects the front axle, enabling true rear-wheel-drive operation. Another activates the electronic spool differential for aggressive launches, burnouts, and controllable oversteer. The engineering changes extend far beyond brute force. To create what Ram describes as “untrucklike” handling dynamics, engineers shortened the wheelbase by 13 inches through an exclusive Quad Cab short-bed configuration. The modified frame reduces flex by 10 percent, while a widened track, adaptive Bilstein Damptronic Sky suspension, and massive Brembo brakes help transform the Rumble Bee SRT into what Ram claims is the world’s most track-capable production pickup. Aerodynamics also played a critical role in the truck’s development. A dramatic front splitter, aggressive cooling channels, rear spoiler, and available hard tonneau cover work together to generate 192 pounds of downforce at 170 mph. Massive 325-mm rear tires mounted on 22- x 12-inch wheels – the widest tire and wheel package Ram has offered since the Dodge Viper – further reinforce the truck’s race-inspired intent. Visually, the Rumble Bee SRT embraces unapologetic American aggression. Widebody fenders, deep aerodynamic elements, a functional induction hood, and Satin Black and Spitfire Orange graphics give the truck a stance more akin to a modern muscle car than a traditional pickup. Ram’s designers even revisited Mopar-inspired graphics from the 1960s to create an updated Rumble Bee emblem specifically for the SRT. Inside, however, the atmosphere shifts from raw aggression to something far more refined. The cabin combines race-inspired ergonomics with upscale craftsmanship, blending performance cues with luxury materials throughout. Ultra-premium Natura Plus leather and suede bucket seats feature unique Desert Orange stitching inspired by the engine’s orange-painted block, while suede wraps the headliner, visors, and cabin pillars. Carbon Fiber Deco trim appears throughout the interior, including an engraved Rumble Bee badge integrated into the passenger-side upper glovebox panel. A leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel with aluminum paddle shifters, metal pedals, and a configurable 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster further reinforce the SRT’s driver-focused mission. Technology is equally extensive. The flagship SRT receives a 14.5-inch portrait-style Uconnect 5 touchscreen with Performance Pages, configurable displays, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, launch control integration, and downloadable performance telemetry. A 10-inch configurable head-up display is also available. For audiophiles, Ram fitted the SRT with a Harman Kardon 19-speaker premium audio system – the first time the brand has integrated such a setup into the Quad Cab body style. The system includes a 10-inch subwoofer and 12-channel amplifier, turning the cabin into a rolling concert hall when the supercharged HEMI soundtrack is not commanding attention. Beyond the flagship SRT, the new Rumble Bee family also includes a 395-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI variant, a 470-horsepower Rumble Bee 392, and a more focused 392 Track Pack model. Together, they form what Ram calls an entirely new muscle truck subsegment aimed directly at enthusiasts who want the emotion of American performance in a more versatile package. Production of the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee will begin in Saltillo, Mexico. The standard 5.7-liter HEMI model arrives in late 2026, while the Rumble Bee 392 and Rumble Bee SRT are scheduled to launch in the first half of 2027.

By Tyler Rampersaud – March 25, 2026

The New Dodge Durango R/T Keeps A V8

The new 2026 Dodge Durango R/T is not only bringing back the iconic 392-cubic-inch HEMI V8 engine, but for the first time ever, the engine is now standard for the Durango R/T. With 475 horsepower and 470 lb/ft of torque, the new 2026 Dodge Durango R/T 392 Launch Edition boasts an increase in power and torque by 32 percent and 21 percent, respectively, compared to the 2025 model year. With standard all-wheel drive and a rear-wheel drive-based architecture, it’s able to get from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, a quicker time than the 2025’s 6.2, and the NHRA has certified its quarter-mile time, which is just 12.9 seconds. Adding to its performance character is standard features like an adaptive damping suspension, Brembo brakes, an electronic limited-slip rear axle, performance exhaust, SRT driving modes, and more. Practicality comes in the form of a towing capacity of 8,700 pounds, and the top speed of the new Durango R/T 392 Launch Edition is 160 mph. Design features include body-colored flares, red “392” badging, 20-inch Satin Carbon wheels, the new Green Machine exterior color, a Nappa leather and suede interior, stripe options, and more. With an MSRP of $57,595 for the new 2026 Dodge Durango R/T 392 Launch Edition Premium, which adds carbon fiber options, an 18-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, and more, an iconic and powerful 6.4-liter V8 engine returns to an iconic performance nameplate.

Supercharged American Muscle: The Best Dodge SRT Demons For Sale

The Dodge Demon is a name that roars with muscle car heritage and modern-day performance dominance. The Demon was initially a budget-friendly performance car, first introduced in the early 1970s as a trim for the Dodge Dart. Fast forward to 2018, and the Demon nameplate made an earth-shaking comeback as part of the Dodge Challenger lineup. Unlike its modest origins, the modern Challenger SRT Demon was designed to dominate drag strips, showcasing innovations like a factory-installed transbrake and drag radials straight out of the box. This reinvention of the Demon was a bold declaration of Dodge’s commitment to pushing muscle car performance to its limits. On the outside, the Dodge Demon is unmistakably aggressive with a wide body, flared fenders, and a massive air scoop on the hood that screams pure power. Lightweight materials were used strategically to keep the car lean without sacrificing strength, while details like the Demon badge and optional racing stripes pay homage to classic muscle car styling. From its squat stance to its menacing headlights, every inch of the Demon looks like it was built to intimidate. Inside, the Dodge Demon keeps things simple but focused on performance. A driver-centric cockpit features optional racing seats and minimal distractions, with most controls geared towards maximizing speed. At the heart of the Demon lies a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine that produces an impressive 840 horsepower on race fuel. All that power allows the Demon to sprint from 0-60 mph in just 2.3 seconds, making it one of the fastest production cars ever built. Whether you’re a muscle car purist or a performance enthusiast, the Dodge Demon lives up to its legendary name in every way imaginable. Dodge SRT Demon Inventory How fast is the Dodge SRT Demon 170? The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is an absolute powerhouse, producing 1,025 horsepower on E85 fuel. It can rocket from 0-60 mph in just 1.66 seconds and run the quarter-mile in an NHRA-certified 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph, making it one of the quickest production cars ever built. What makes the Dodge Demon different from a Hellcat? The Dodge Demon takes everything wild about the Hellcat and cranks it up to eleven. It’s built for straight-line domination, packing a stronger supercharged V8, a lighter body, and a transbrake to launch harder off the line. Plus, it can run on high-octane race fuel for even more power—something the Hellcat just can’t match. Why is the Dodge Demon banned from NHRA drag racing? The Demon’s incredible quarter-mile time of 8.91 seconds is so fast that it actually breaks NHRA regulations, which require additional safety modifications (like a roll cage) for cars running under 9.99 seconds. Straight from the factory, it’s simply too quick for most sanctioned drag strips without those extra safety features. 2023 Dodge SRT Demon 170 View Price & Listing 2023 Dodge SRT Demon 170 View Price & Listing 2018 Dodge SRT Demon View Price & Listing 2023 Dodge SRT Demon 170 View Price & Listing 2018 Dodge SRT Demon View Price & Listing 2023 Dodge SRT Demon 170 View Price & Listing 2018 Dodge SRT Demon View Price & Listing 2023 Dodge SRT Demon 170 View Price & Listing 2018 Dodge SRT Demon View Price & Listing 2018 Dodge SRT Demon View Price & Listing

New Diesel 2027 Ram Power Wagon Has 1,075 LB/FT Of Torque

By popular demand, a new diesel Power Wagon has arrived. With the unveiling of a new 2027 Ram SRT TRX with more power and performance than ever, the Ram brand has been delivering on the wishes of its customers with its new lineup. However, another truck is also doing the same, and that is the new 2027 Ram Power Wagon, which for the first time by popular demand, is available with a Cummins 6.7-liter turbo diesel inline six-cylinder engine, delivering 430 horsepower and an incredible 1,075 lb/ft of torque. Both the TRX and the Power Wagon were unveiled with a new short film called “Resurrection,” where the new trucks are showcased in an exciting and spectacular display. With its powerful diesel engine, the new Ram Power Wagon combines off-road capability with extended range and impressive towing ability in a new halo truck that is helping define the new Ram lineup. The option of diesel power starting from the 2027 model year has given the celebrated Power Wagon nameplate, which itself dates all the way back to 1945, more capability and towing strength than ever before, with a torque figure that is just about unfathomable at 1,075 lb/ft. Starting at a price of $88,470 with a Cummins diesel engine, the new 2027 Ram Power Wagon is a diesel truck enthusiast’s wish fulfilled. View All Ram For Sale Image Source: Stellantis
