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.

MotorCity Rally: Driving Cars Like They Were Meant to be ...

Founded in 2012, MotorCity Rally was just a basic little car gathering meant to be a local Michigan event. It spread to Indiana, but remained small. In 2015 though, the event garnered enough popularity to become a multi-state event. The 2015 event spanned from Detroit to New York City at first, but was pushed to cover the southern states as well. Creator of the event, Waseem Qureshi realized there was a demand for the event, and decided to take it full throttle.Not just a regular rally, Qureshi wanted to mesh together the rally lifestyle with the gearhead aficionados. His goal was to find like-minded enthusiasts that aren't afraid to drive, hit the tracks and go hard on the trail. MotorCity Rally caters to the motorsport enthusiasts.The event covers a total of 1,200 miles and tracks are rented along the route for the drivers. The general theme is to "party like rockstars," and participants definitely get their fill.The rally is exciting from start to finish and the participants are enthusiastic, bonding over their love for pushing cars to the limit, "as they are meant to be driven," states Qureshi.The event start time is 8:00 AM on Wednesday, August 3. There, Qureshi and his team go over the flags on the track and racing etiquette. The M1 team will be there to help the drivers. Hot laps, for fun. Don’t want anyone to wreck cars before it starts! The event is limited to 65 cars to ensure quality on track, making it one of the most exclusive experiences of its kind. Qureshi's goal is less about money and more about cultivating a family of people having fun driving cars.Teams compete in scavenger hunts. Team with the most points will get their entry fee back, and get to come back the next year free of charge. Second prize is credit towards next year.The rally will start at the new M1 Concourse in Michigan, which was built on the old GM facility. It will then travel down to Louisville, KY, stopping at Fort Wayne Automotive (Dream Makers Automotive) for a catered lunch. Day two will take drivers to Margaritaville Island Resort in Pigeon Forge. There, drivers can head to Tail of the Dragon as well as a local drag strip. Day three is all about Nashville, starting at the Nashville Omni Hotel right next to Broadway. Participants will be treated to a Honkey Tonk party that night, and by Day four, they'll stop by Velocity Motors for breakfast before heading to the Nashville Cars & Coffee. From there, participants will head to the Atlanta Motorsports Park, where the entire track has been rented out. This part of the event is sponsored by GM.

First Ever Green Carbon Fiber McLaren P1 Available to the...

The 2014 McLaren P1 Hybrid represents the next chapter in the supercar realm, marrying tried and true Formula 1 technologies with the innovation and promise of the hybrid engine. The result is a culmination of distinguished and powerful design forged of carbon fiber construction and wrought with superior force and power. The P1 provides the ultimate track experience without compromising the beauty and intricacy of hand-crafted design. The specs of this incredible track car, though intriguing and exceptional, aren't the only highlight of McLaren P1 number 2. This particular example marks the first ever P1 available to the public. Additionally, this P1 was meticulously cared for by one owner and is only 576 miles from new.The P1 engineers combined twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 engines with a permanent-magnet synchronous electric motor. The two engines come together to produce a combined 904 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque. The power produced by the hybrid engine propels the supercar from 0-60 in a mere 2.7 seconds. Borrowed from the F1 are exotic silicon-carbide-coated carbon-ceramic disc brakes, which bring the supercar to a dead stop from 120 mph in just 380 feet.One would say driving the P1 is truly the only way to understand it's superior power. With several drive modes available, he who is behind the wheel can customize their driving experience. E-mode engages the electric motor only while Race mode offers a fully-immersed, dynamic adventure.Rather than painting over the hand-crafted exterior, a translucent coat of green-lacquer showcases the fine detail of P1 number two. This intricate finish is complemented by 19-inch front and 20-inch back Pirelli P-Zero-shod wheels. Extended to the interior, the color scheme is continued with green carbon fiber accents and seat stitching, which covers black leather seats. Included is a Meridian sound system, climate control and navigation.The exclusivity of the P1 coupled with the fact that this is the first ever example available to the public, makes it a truly unique example, adding a rarity unlike any other to one's collection.The McLaren P1 serial no. 2 is offered by Mecum Auctions and will be available at the Monterey event located at Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa in gorgeous Monterey, California on August 18-20, 2016 at Lot R503.

2016 Greenwich Concours Recap

Last weekend was a new event for us, with duPont Registry being a major sponsor of the 2016 Greenwich Concours. After a cannonball run up Interstate 95, we arrived Thursday evening to find the narrow streets choked with auto transporters. If you haven't experienced the coastline of Connecticut, Greenwich is an enclave of tranquility less than an hour from Manhattan.duPont REGISTRY Live GreenwichThe main waterfront attraction is the historic Delamar Hotel. With several hundred feet of deep water dock space, we invited a few clients from our boat magazine to add to the festivities. Due to the limited space of the park, the show is divided with American cars on Saturday and Europeans on Sunday. To provide a smooth transition between them, our duPont REGISTRY Live event was the highlight of the weekend. With help from the volunteers of AmeriCares, attendees were treated to beautiful cars and boats along with amazing food.SaturdaySundayIf you plan on visiting, take the road less traveled. The twisty back roads offer great elevation changes and the occasional view of the parking lot that is I-95. A big thank you to AmeriCares and to the staff of the Delamar Hotel for allowing us to be a part of the action. We're heading back to Connecticut in 3 weeks for Barrett-Jackson's inaugural auction at the Mohegan Sun Casino, so stay tuned for a preview.

Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach 2016 Recap

Last week we told you about some of the exciting listings for Barrett-Jackson's annual auto auction extravaganza in West Palm Beach. It is a great way for us to connect with our clients and to show duPont REGISTRY enthusiasts the power of print and event marketing.Normally our only apprehensions about this show come from the unpredictable weather. But, this year it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. We hosted the VIP Pavilion, which featured all the high-end and Salon cars that headlined a very successful auction weekend.Our mobile chill lounge happens inside the Airstream Interstate, so it was moved in first. With seating for nine and WiFi, they are the perfect way for us to stay cool & connected during the show. North Trail RV brought a new 2016 model which has Air Ride suspension and more USB ports than you will ever need.Front and foremost was the Ruf Nek from Starwood Motors. Built for SEMA 2015, this radical rat rod Wrangler trades civility for a 6.4L 392 HEMI V8 riding on air suspension. Bomber seats and teak wood compliment the Alpine/Focal, which tries hard to be louder than the stainless side pipe exhaust.Taggart Autosport participated with a custom Jeep Wrangler and a 2013 Aston Martin Rapide S. Two additional Jeeps arrived from California Custom Sport Trucks. One was customized by Guy Harvey, complete with an aquatic wrap and fishing rods.Ronald McDonald House of the Central Valley is a charity that provides a respite for families of sick children, so we enjoy supporting their collector car raffles. Ticket sales exceeded expectations thanks to the new Corvette Z06 convertible along with a Superformance Cobra.If four wheels are too many, Vanderhall sent us their latest Laguna for the weekend. These tandem two-seaters are powered by the 1.4L turbo EcoTec four cylinder from Chevrolet. From heated seats to stability control, Laguna packs more features than any vehicle its size.Towering over the tiny roadster were the brilliant polished stainless & marble grills from Kalamazoo Gourmet. Hand fabricated from thick 304 alloy, their top end outdoor kitchens include a sizable pizza oven. On the other end of the temperature scale, Sovaro Coolers allowed us to realize that natural cork is still the best insulator on the market.We were able to facilitate several sales from the booth, and we had a great time interacting with our fans.As for the sales from the auction, Barrett-Jackson touted in a press release that they had exceed $23.2 million at the Palm Beach event. Contributing to this amount were a few top sales, such as a 1969 Ford Boss 429 ($550,000), two Heritage Edition Ford GTs ($467,500 and $412,500) and much more. The first 2017 Corvette Grand Sport sold for $170,000 and the first 2017 Camaro 50th Anniversary sold for $150,000. For full results, be sure to visit Barrett-Jackson.com.Looking forward to Barrett-Jackson's upcoming event at the Mohegan Sun, it will take some ingenuity to build a better experience than this year at Palm Beach.Thank you to our clients and to our fans for making this show one for the books.
