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.

duPont REGISTRY Garage Version 1.6 Rolls Out Sharper Valuations and Smarter Market Tracking

duPont REGISTRY Garage has rolled out version 1.6.4, built on extensive market, auction, and sales data. Last month, in our coverage of duPont REGISTRY Garage’s 12-Month Market Leaders, we touched on the new Markets section and its Market Leaders dashboard, where the dRi value drives the same Market Spotlight coverage we publish weekly. This latest release builds on that, alongside an improved dRi valuation model working behind the scenes. View this post on Instagram A post shared by duPont REGISTRY Group (@dupontregistrygroup) The headline addition is a new dynamic gauge replacing the old value display. Pull up any model, and the gauge shows a last-seen price tracked directly against its dRi market value, with the high and low dRi market values marked on the dial for instant context within the model's full trading range. The charts have also been tweaked, making multi-year trends easier to read at a glance. My Motorfolio can now be sorted by 'Most Expensive', which brings a collection's flagship holding to the top of the view without requiring a manual search. duPont REGISTRY compiled a full list of the most expensive cars sold at auction last year and updated it again this past April. The Uhlenhaut Coupe pictured here still holds the top position on that list, at $143 million. <- Gallery -> Other updates include a new Home Feed tab that simplifies navigation, garage sharing now includes improved titles, images, and link previews, and the Alerts Center gives you real control over notification frequency. Follow interactions have also been refined, making it easier than ever before to follow a vehicle, a market, or a fellow collector. Taken together, the update reinforces the same data architecture behind our Market Spotlight coverage. For industry participants, it offers a sharper, real-time read on where the market stands. For aspirational collectors and enthusiasts earlier in their journey, the platform provides a starting point from which to build a portfolio of future cars. duPont REGISTRY Garage is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

The duPont REGISTRY Garage 12-Month Market Leaders Are In

Last week, we published a detailed guide to the new Markets section on the duPont REGISTRY Garage App, covering the Market Leaders dashboard, its six filter categories, and how the dRi value translates live transaction data into actionable intelligence for collectors. Filtered by Variants and sorted by Top Gainers over the past 12 months, we are highlighting some of the top five performers on the current leaderboard. The #3 spot on the leaderboard is occupied by the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, which currently holds a duPont REGISTRY Index (dRi) value of $4,400,000 and a 12-month gain of $902,500. Produced in a run of just 60 units, the Chiron Super Sport represents the peak expression of Bugatti's famed W16 era under the Volkswagen Group, a chapter now closed with the marque's transition to Bugatti Rimac. This is precisely the kind of specification-level intelligence our Markets feature guide outlined last week: not just which marque is performing, but which exact variant the market is currently rewarding, and by how much. The Ferrari F50 Berlinetta sits second, with a dRi value of $6,766,250 and a gain of $1,591,250 over the same period. The F50 has long carried an undeserved reputation as the least celebrated of Ferrari's flagship lineage. The dRi value does not deal in received collector wisdom. It deals in transactions. That gain over 12 months is a direct illustration of why filtering at the variant level matters, and why the Variants filter inside Garage surfaces intelligence that a model-level view simply cannot. The variant sitting at the top spot of the 12-month gainers leaderboard carries a dRi gain that exceeds every car on this list. All we’ll say is that it is a V12.

Know What Your Collection Is Worth in Real Time: Inside duPont REGISTRY Garage's New Market Feature

For decades, the collector car market operated largely on instinct, relationships, and the occasional auction result passed between trusted hands. If you wanted to know whether your Ferrari F50 had appreciated or whether the window to sell your Bugatti Chiron Super Sport was opening or closing, you relied on a dealer's opinion, a specialist's gut feel, or the slow trickle of data emerging from marquee auction weekends. The information existed. It was simply never organized, never accessible, and never real-time. duPont REGISTRY Garage changes that. Launched in October 2025, the collector car management platform has rolled out a comprehensive Market Leaders suite that delivers live financial intelligence on the collector car market. Real-Time Collector Car Valuations with the Market Leaders Dashboard When you tap the Markets tab in the Garage app, you land on the Market Leaders screen, a ranked and real-time leaderboard of the collector vehicles showing the strongest price momentum. Each entry displays the vehicle's current dRi value, which is duPont REGISTRY's proprietary collector car pricing index grounded in actual VIN-level transaction data, alongside its gain over the selected time period. At a glance, you can see that the Ferrari Enzo is currently leading with a dRi value of $7,654,975, up over $4 million, while the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport sits at $4.4 million, gaining nearly $903,000. These figures are tied directly to real collector car transaction data. Filter Collector Car Market Data by Make, Model, Generation, Variant, and Trim The real power of Market Leaders lies in how granularly you can slice the data. A filter bar across the top of the screen lets you toggle between six distinct views. A filter bar lets you toggle between six views, including Makes, Models, Generations, Variants, Trims, and Vehicle Markets, with each view stepping deeper into specification-level collector car pricing intelligence. For example, the difference between a Porsche 918 Spyder with or without the Weissach Package or a Ferrari 360 Spider with a gated 6-speed factory manual can represent hundreds of thousands of dollars in real market value. These filters make those distinctions explicit, showing you precisely which configuration of a vehicle the collector car market is currently rewarding. A date range selector offers 12-month, last-calendar-year, and 5-year views, and switching between them can tell a very different story about a vehicle's value trajectory. A car that looks like it is gaining momentum over 12 months may reveal a longer plateau when you zoom out to five years. You can also sort by top gainers or losers in dollar or percentage terms, which is a useful lens for comparing collector car performance across different price tiers. My Motorfolio: Connecting the Market to Your Own Collection Collector car market intelligence only becomes truly actionable when it is connected to the vehicles you actually own. The My Motorfolio section tracks your personal collector car portfolio against the same dRi pricing metrics, showing your collection's total value, average value per vehicle, and real-time performance all in one place. For collectors managing eight, ten, or fifteen vehicles across multiple categories, this creates something genuinely new: a single dashboard view of your collection's aggregate market position, with the ability to evaluate any single asset against broader trends without placing a call or waiting for an appraisal. Why Real-Time Collector Car Market Data Matters for Serious Investors A recent study by Boston Consulting Group with duPont REGISTRY Group projected that the U.S. luxury and exotic automotive sector will grow from approximately $110 billion today to $215 billion by 2035, nearly doubling in a single decade. As that capital flows into the collector car market, those collectors who transact with conviction will hold a real structural advantage over those who don't. Knowing when a collector car market is peaking, when a specific variant is undervalued, or when a generation is beginning its appreciation cycle is the kind of intelligence that used to require years of experience and the right connections. The Market Leaders feature is built for the serious owner-investor who understands that a collector car is both a passion and a dynamic financial alternative asset. duPont REGISTRY Garage is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

duPont REGISTRY Talks: The Rebirth Of Delage And Its Amaz...

When Delage revealed the D12, it wasn’t simply launching a new hypercar – it was reasserting a name that once stood at the very pinnacle of luxury, design, and Grand Prix competition. More than a century after its founding, the storied French marque has returned not as a nostalgia act, but as a serious contender in the modern hypercar conversation. That story – and the philosophy behind it – is the focus of the latest duPont REGISTRY Talks podcast, featuring Delage CEO Laurent Tapie. Visually, the D12 looks less like a conventional road car and more like an idea pulled straight from motorsport and aviation. With its ultra-low stance, flowing carbon-fiber surfaces, and fighter-jet proportions, Delage describes the D12 as the closest street-legal experience to a Formula 1 car. That ambition is deeply personal for Tapie, who at just 21 years old won a competition that allowed him to drive a Formula 1 car in France – an experience he still describes as one of the greatest days of his life. “When I decided to launch a hypercar,” Tapie explains, “I wanted to recreate this incredible feeling, and this car delivers that experience.” Under the sculpted bodywork lies a mid-mounted 7.6-liter V12 paired with electric assistance, producing around 1,100 horsepower. A carbon monocoque chassis, carbon fiber wheels designed to aid brake cooling, and advanced active aerodynamics – including six front flaps and rear aero elements – place the D12 firmly in the realm of engineering audacity. To help bring that vision to life, Tapie assembled a team that includes 1997 Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve as a test driver. Yet the D12 makes sense only when viewed through Delage’s extraordinary history. Founded in 1905 by Louis Delâge, the marque dominated early motorsport, winning everything from the Grand Prix des Voiturettes to the Indianapolis 500, and ultimately securing the 1927 World Manufacturers’ Championship. It later became synonymous with elegant luxury cars favored by royalty and elites – before fading away entirely. In the podcast, Tapie explains why Delage waited decades to return, refusing to dilute the brand with shortcuts. The D12 isn’t a lifestyle exercise or a badge-engineered revival; it’s a modern expression of Delage’s original DNA: haute luxury, intellectual engineering, and genuine racing credibility. Witness the full story behind one of the most intellectually compelling hypercars of our time, tune in to duPont REGISTRY Talks with Laurent Tapie.

A red Maserati sports car, showcasing MCPura key design elements, is parked on a cobblestone street, with a man nearby using his phone and a building in the background. Q&A: Maserati’s Mastermind Reveals These Standout Features.

By Charles Bradley – October 19, 2025

Q&A: Maserati’s Mastermind Reveals MCPura Key Design Elem...

Q&A: Maserati’s Mastermind Reveals MCPura Key Design Elements It’s 100 years since Maserati first competed in racing, and to do that, it had to produce a logo. Designed in the 1920s by Mario Maserati himself, the Trident emblem was inspired by the statue of the Roman God Neptune at the very end of Piazza Maggiore in Bologna. The first car on which it appeared was the Tipo 26, Maserati’s maiden racer, and fast forward a century to the 2026 model year, the new MCPura carries that self-same logo. This 200 mph, mid-engined V6 twin-turbo halo car is an evolution of its elegant MC20 design, which was itself a modern-day re-imagining of the iconic MC12 of 2004 – which dominated the FIA GT Championship in the heydays of GT1 competition. To get more exclusive insight into the MCPura, I caught up with Leonardo Rimini, the supercar’s product planner, as we took a break from Maserati’s international first drive program in the square at Sestri Levante. duPont REGISTRY: What was the overriding principle when it came to the MCPura’s development? Leonardo Rimini: So, the thing is, we knew we had an icon – the MC20 – because it was such a well-received car from everyone: the press and especially the customers. We knew we had to handle it with care. What we tried to do was refine the product and design without overhauling it completely. That’s what we did – we gave it a bit more character with aggressive bumpers and new finishes inside and out. The diffuser is more accentuated, and we borrowed a few key elements from the GT2 Stradale to give it a sportier feel for those who want it. The new Alcantara steering wheel also adds to that sense of aggression with a flattened upper section. I believe this really speaks to our philosophy: staying elegant and true to the essence of Maserati without revolutionizing it. That’s very important for us. dR: Tell me about the pre-chamber combustion system featuring twin spark plugs in the 3.0-liter Nettuno V6. How difficult was it to bring that technology, which is so racing-oriented, into a road car reliably? LR: It was a very challenging task for the engineering team, but they did a great job. Of course, it’s a patented technology, so we’re the only ones to implement it in a road-going car. It’s derived directly from Formula 1, which makes it a unique part of the car and helps express its essence and sportiness. It was certainly challenging throughout development of the whole car. Just the aerodynamics alone took more than 2,000 man-hours in the wind tunnel. That gives you a sense of the level of detail we reached when developing this model. dR: In terms of the carbon tub, it was co-developed with Dallara. How does that collaboration work? LR: The development is done jointly by Maserati and Dallara – it’s a true collaboration between design and R&D. The production itself is handled by a third-party supplier in Italy , but not directly by Dallara or Maserati. Dallara has deep roots in racing and in producing both race and road cars, so working with them was crucial to achieving this result. We’re also one of the few brands in the market implementing a full carbon fiber monocoque. There’s no aluminum bodywork – only composite materials – which contributes to the car’s lightness, impressive weight, and strong power-to-weight ratio. dR: And the Cielo – how exactly does the open-top car differ from the coupe? LR: The Cielo’s structure is slightly different. It’s stiffer on the lower part to compensate for the lack of carbon on the upper section. The engineering is a bit different there – it weighs a little more – but both tubs are around 100 kilograms. Very lightweight. dR: Something I love about it is that it doesn’t have a huge rear wing to spoil its lines; it’s very elegant… LR: No, but there is one available if you’re into that kind of track-oriented setup! But I believe staying true to Maserati’s essence as a luxury brand means avoiding extremes like that. dR: How would you distinguish this car from category rivals like the Ferrari 296 or McLaren Artura? LR: I don’t like to speak too much about competitors. I prefer to emphasize the uniqueness of our car – I believe our powertrain truly differentiates us. We don’t use a hybrid system; we’ve stayed pure to the internal combustion engine. The twin-turbo V6 Nettuno engine is now part of Maserati’s DNA and is really the beating heart of the company. That’s a very compelling value proposition. The engine delivers incredible results, and the technology is truly cutting-edge. But if you asked me my favorite aspect of the car, it would be the carbon fiber tub – it contributes so much to the stiffness and torsional rigidity of the chassis. You can really feel that when you drive it. View All Maserati MC20s For Sale
