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.

MOPAR Announces Pre-Orders for 1,000 HP Hellephant HEMI

Last year at SEMA, MOPAR displayed a monster. Taking the same formula used in the Hellcat and the Demon, they whipped up a 1,000 horsepower version of their supercharged HEMI V8. You are probably thinking it needs race fuel like the Demon, but they were able to achieve that power on 93 octane pump gas. That's because they stroked the 6.2L to 7.0L, or 426 cubic inches. It also makes 950 lb-ft of torque, and today MOPAR announced pre-orders for the 1,000 hp Hellephant HEMI have begun. MOPAR is the performance division of Chrysler/Dodge/Ram/Jeep and formerly Plymouth (RIP). They developed the original 426 HEMI to dominate NASCAR and Drag Racing and it did both. NASCAR banned the engine, and all modern Top-Fuel and Funny Car engines are based around the HEMI. The press release reminds us that 4/26 is national HEMI day, and that MOPAR will be live streaming something wild at 4:26 p.m. (Eastern Time). The engine and supercharger (P/N P5160194 ) have a retail price of $29,995, and several accessories like Air Conditioning, oil filter relocation, and the accessory drive are available separately. This would be an easy swap into a Charger Hellcat, Challenger, Ram, (or Wrangler if you are nuts), but your stock transmission will be on death row.

2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody

2019 Dodge SRT Hellcat Widebody Price, Specs, Photos, Review

As much as we loved the Dodge Demon, it had a few quirks. Aside from collectors hoarding them, there was no option for a manual transmission. That's why we jumped for joy for the 2019 Dodge SRT Hellcat Widebody. We spent a week with this stick-shift beast and it did not disappoint. If you want the power without the aggressive looks, the widebody package is optional. It should be standard thanks to the wider rubber at all corners. Starting with the most obvious aspect, the Tremec transmission was inherited from the Viper. The clutch is numb yet predictable, and the flywheel does a great job of keeping the blower spinning during off-throttle cornering. How Much is a Dodge Demon? View Complete Price & Specs 2019 Dodge SRT Hellcat Widebody Photos 2019 Dodge SRT Hellcat Widebody Engine It easily handles the 717 horsepower and 656 lb-ft of torque from the supercharged 6.2L. If you enjoy the occasional drag race, the 8.4" screen optimizes suspension, enables launch control rpm, and the 2019 Dodge SRT Hellcat Widebody has something you won't expect. A line-lock keeps the front brakes locked to allow the rear rubber to heat up. You will have consistent low 11 second times thanks to the after-run chiller. Once the car is shut down, an auxiliary electric water pump and the fans run for a few minutes to prevent heat soak. 2019 Dodge SRT Hellcat Widebody Specs Price: $62,190 Engine: Supercharged 6.2L V8 Transmission: Six-Speed Manual Horsepower: 717hp Torque: 656 lb-ft 0-60 mph: 3.5 seconds Top Speed: 199 mph 2019 Dodge SRT Hellcat Widebody Review After a week of driving, here is our consensus. Seating position and controls are excellent. Visibility is not as bad as the Camaro, but its close. The curb weight of 4,490 lbs is easily upset in the corners, so you need to be ready to wrestle the wheel. The power is incredible. It doesn't care what gear you are in, the 2019 Dodge SRT Hellcat Widebody acceleration is always available. Thirst is only quenched by premium fuel, and we were not able to get above 12 mpg. 2019 Dodge SRT Hellcat Widebody Price For under $70,000, it could be daily driven if you don't mind the price of fuel, your mileage may vary. Of course, this car is available as a narrow body, but it looks too close to all the V6 rental Challengers. It is worth the price to have so much fun!

Dodge Demon Races Lamborghini Huracan in 1/4 Mile

Everyone knows that the Dodge Demon is a monster built for the drag strip. On Dodge's page for the Demon, they even tout a few of its accomplishments that would help it excel on the strip, like "World's Fastest 1/4-Mile Production Car" and "World's Fastest 0-60 Production Car." But how well does the Demon stack up against an AWD supercar like the Lamborghini Huracan? Dodge Demon Prices & Specs For that, there's DragTimes. In Brooks' latest video, he takes his Huracan out for races against a sharp green Demon. He notes in the video's description that the Demon is equipped with a race gas ECU, race air filter, skinny tires up front and Mickey Thompson tires in the back. After three races the results were still... inconclusive. Brooks notes that the first race involved some slippage, the second race was legit and the third race was legit. However, if you check the slip of the third race, you'll notice a massive difference in reaction time. Nonetheless, check out the video below to see the epic USA vs Italy drag race.

Dodge SRT Challenger Hellcat Specs, Price, Photos & Review

Few cars are truly legendary, but the Dodge SRT Challenger Hellcat specs are simply amazing. You don't have to be a baby boomer to appreciate the bulked-up elegance of this sporty car that manages to combine nostalgia for the good old days with modern design and convenience. The Challenger Hellcat specs are those of an exciting, power-filled model that tops the American muscle car market by impressing critics and car lovers alike. Buyers get style, power, and speed for their money in this widebody car. Only drivers seeking adventure need apply for this automotive experience. While it handles so well anyone can drive it, this model would be wasted on drivers who only see a car as transportation. Challenger Hellcat Engine The Hellcat has a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 gas engine that provides 717 hp @ 6200 rpm and 656 lb-ft. @4800 torque. It is thanks to a 2.4-liter supercharger along with an aggressive ignition profile. Each piston has its own oil squirter that prevents detonation by cooling them at Bottom-Dead-Center. That impressive amount of power can propel you around a track or be contained for a super Sunday drive with the family. The gas mileage stays reasonable with an estimated highway MPG of 21 and city MPG estimated at 13. One of the Challenger Hellcat specs that is most intriguing are its dual key fobs. The black key fob cuts the car's power to 500 hp and shuts down some of the features, allowing less adventurous folks to drive it in comfort. The red key fob gives you the Hellcat unchained and releases all the power and speed you can handle.

Challenger Hellcat Brakes The Challenger Hellcat specs 4-Wheel Disc Brakes controlled by 4-Wheel ABS. The computer incorporates emergency brake assist and hill hold control along with the stability system. The massive 6-piston front and 4-piston Brembo brakes have 15.4 vented and slotted rotors for exceptionally high performance. This powerful braking system can handle the SRT's off-the-charts engine, and it has been embraced by the aftermarket as an upgrade for classic Dodge, Plymouth, and other MOPAR Muscle Cars. Challenger Hellcat Design The Challenger Hellcat specs are built with all the muscular features you could possibly want. Dodge produces these cars in bold colors and lets you add modern hood stripes as well as classic side stripes and graphics. You can also choose a Shaker hood design or power bulge aluminum hood among other tough-looking elements. Your Challenger will never blend in with traffic. Hennessey Announces 1,200 Horsepower Hellcat Redeye The design also makes this powerhouse easy to handle. The long wheelbase and balanced chassis mean that drivers can safely indulge themselves with power runs at the track. You get all the thrills of the racing life with the addition of stability and comfort. The wheelbase for the SRT Hellcat SRT is 116.2, the length is 197.5, and the height is 55.7. The base curb weight is 4448 lbs. This model has a rear wheel drive and an 18.5-gallon fuel tank capacity. All these specs add up to an impressively wide, power-charged road monster of a car. Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Price The SRT Challenger Hellcat price starts at $64,295 but can range upward depending on the options you choose. Unlike many mass-produced cars, you can still order a new Challenger Hellcat specs at the dealer. The first option will be the 8-speed automatic. The six-speed manual is no charge, but the automatic transmission adds $2,995 to the sticker. The next upgrade would be forged wheels at $995, and the 3.09 differential. It offers much better acceleration than the 2.62 gears found on normal Hellcats. A Harmon-Kardon audio system is $1,595, and the widebody package is $6,000. If you don't need rear seats, it will arrive without them for $1 more. Challenger Hellcat Interior The exterior is impressive, but the interior keeps up with lots of design touches that add comfort and style. Buyers will enjoy leather or premium synthetic seats as well as a power driver seat and heated front seats. There is a pass-through rear seat and a 2nd-row bench seat which means the car can handle up to five passengers. Other wild Challenger Hellcat specs include a power tilt/telescoping steering column, fixed rear windows, illuminated front cupholder, rear cupholder, compass, Dual-zone front automatic AC, cargo area concealed storage, and two 12V DC power outlets. The Challenger SRT also features a navigation system and an onboard hands-free communication system with wireless cell phone hookup. Challenger Hellcat Standout Features This road warrior hasn't left civilization behind. The Challenger comes with keyless entry, backup camera, trip computer, universal garage door opener, optional remote engine start, HID headlights, alarm, and power door locks. The interior is aggressively modern. The Challenger also comes with an impressive warranty. Basic coverage includes three years or 36,000 miles. The drivetrain is covered for five years or 60,000 miles. You are protected against corrosion for five years and unlimited miles, with roadside assistance covered for five years and 60,000 miles. Additionally, the US NHTSA crash test gave the Challenger RST 5 stars, which means you can feel good about transporting family and friends. The Challenger Hellcat specs maintain its legendary reputation in the 2018 model year. And they do so while also incorporating a more modern exterior design as well as many interior comfort features. While the car looks to be a monster vehicle on the road, it's certainly not a monster to drive. You can have your grandmother take it to church and then you can drive it to the track later. Critics and buyers agree that the Challenger SRT lives up to the hype and is well worth the money. The American muscle car is still thriving, especially with the continued evolution of the Challenger series. View All Challenger Hellcats For Sale " width="680">

Dodge Demon Races Hayabusa Bike for Rematch

The Dodge Demon was created to be a monster on the drag strip and put fear into its competitors. Dodge seriously went all out with the Demon in order to make it a beast and they were successful on all accounts. In fact, they were so successful that the car was reportedly banned by the NHRA in drag strip races (unless you fit it with additional safety equipment and get a competition license). One owner of the car that has been getting every bit of horsepower out of his Demon is the YouTuber Demonology. He's been posting up plenty of videos of his Demon taking on racers at drag strips. However, it seems he needed a rematch against a Hayabusa. From what I can gather, they raced against each other in an 1/8-mile but it was difficult for the Hayabusa to launch. So, they went to the 1/4-mile and went at it again. Check out the race for yourself in the video below!

2019 Dodge Charger Hellcat Updated and More

The Dodge Hellcat Charger hasn't received the same attention as the Challenger, mostly due to the build of the SRT Demon. But now it is time to give their popular sedan a few nice upgrades for 2019. Offered in six trim levels, the V6 GT model uses SRT technology and suspension for a fun RWD sedan. The SXT package now includes AWD. You can even order a 5.7L Hemi with AWD if you happen to be a police officer. Dodge won't sell civilians this package which makes us question their logic. Last Demon and Viper Bring in 7 Figures at Barrett-Jackson Northeast If you do want Hemi V8 power, the R/T Scat Pack and the SRT Hellcat have received some "demonic" hardware. The Scat Pack arrives with the 6.4L 392 Hemi offering 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. A new switch on the dash activates the launch assist and the line lock. Houndstooth interior is standard while Bilstein active suspension and a matte black hood are optional. The Hellcat has Torque Reserve and the After-Run chiller added to the supercharger. The new grille has dual air inlets to feed the 707 horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged V8. With 650 lb-ft of torque, it remains the most powerful American sedan.
