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.

Why You Should Buy A Porsche 911R

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. President Jefferson was making a point that your style should always go with the flow, but you shouldn't sacrifice what you believe in. We believe in Porsche's abilities to stay on top of automotive design without altering the formula for a true 911. Give it a powerful flat-six and a manual transmission, what more could you ask for? The Porsche GT3 RS is a great car, and in most aspects it is the state of the art. But like every other modern car, it is loaded with computers, communications, and entertainment systems. Many publications and customers made it known that offering the top-level 911 without a manual transmission was a travesty. So in a bold move, Porsche took and old page from their playbook and went back to basics. The 2016 Porsche 911 R is a mic drop to every other car in recent history. It has two seats, a steering wheel, and three pedals. Spartan yet elegant is the Porsche 911 R interior. Dual-clutch automatics can shift faster than any human, but they are heavy and expensive. Even manual transmissions have become too complex, with dual mass flywheels that kill performance. So Porsche went back to basics with a traditional flywheel and pressure plate. Seventh gear was deleted to make room for six stronger gears with ratios close to what is found in the automatic of the GT3 RS.The pedal is stiff, but very consistent and predictable-- it has to be in order to survive being coupled to a 500 hp engine. Even the base model Carrera is now turbocharged, so the 911R is one of the last naturally aspirated supercars. The Porsche 911 R engine is the 4.0 liter flat six from the GT3 RS, with the ability to rev to 8,600 rpm. Most of the other 911 R specs are close to the GT3 RS. Porsche 911 For Sale By Owner Every non-essential system was omitted to save weight. The roof is magnesium and carbon fiber was used for the hood and fenders. Even the famous die-cast hood emblem was replaced with vinyl. With front axle lift and rear wheel steering, the curb weight is a svelte 3,021 lbs. Being six hundred pounds lighter than the 911 Turbo makes it a blast to drive, I just wish I could have kept it for the weekend. You hear everything. You feel everything. And you do it without the outrageous aerodynamics. A full-length belly pan and rear diffuser keep the car glued to the road. Only 991 cars were built, and they are among the last non-turbo stick shift cars we will encounter. If you do not enjoy driving, this is not the car for you. Ferdinand would be proud to see such a machine bearing his name, so don't hide it away in fear of the odometer. The Porsche 911R is as solid as titanium with the precision of a scalpel. Without any options the suggested Porsche 911 R price was considerably less than a convertible Turbo S, a relative bargain for a piece of history.

Then & Now: 1998 Hummer H1

Twenty years ago, Hummer was at the top of their game. The H1 was the civilian version of the military's Humvee. It was introduced to the armed forces in 1984 to give the Jeep a well-deserved retirement. Still in production today, it was never meant to be sold to the public. After experiencing the rugged vehicle in person, the Terminator was able to convince AM General to build a street-legal version.First offered to the public in 1992, Arnold Schwarzenegger's endorsement made it the ultimate accessory for athletes, movie stars, and the private industry. Priced above many luxury 4WDs, dealers sprang up in affluent areas across the country. Hummer was an independent brand until they were purchased by GM in 1999. So looking back through old copies of the magazine, it is funny to see them sold at German and Japanese dealerships. In 1998, a dealer could purchase a 2 door hardtop for $50,958, and the 4 door convertible was $61,279. Adjusted for inflation, this puts the modern equivalent for their most expensive model at $92,733. It is still a value for what you get. The Detroit Diesel engine and TH400 transmission are indestructible. The going rate for a high-mileage '98 seems to be $45,000: View Price & ListingIf you need something a little newer, this one-owner example can be yours for $99,888 View Price & ListingProduction of the H1 ended on a high note. The new Duramax engine was much more powerful, so AM General revised the chassis and suspension to build the H1 Alpha. Only 700 were produced before GM abruptly ended the program, and Hummer1 restores them to showroom condition.

Top 10 Unique Items For Sale by Porsche Classic

Every automaker sells accessories. You know, the shirts and hats for sale next to the service department. Porsche Classic is a restoration shop filled with master coachbuilders. Located near the factory, their goal is to offer only the best parts for dealers and owners.We were looking to get Mr. duPont a Christmas gift for his classic 356 Spyder. Not only does Porsche Classic offer the usual items, like tools, car wash soap, and owners' manuals, we fell down a rabbit hole at their immense online catalog. After sharing the link around the office, here are our choices for the strangest parts they have for sale. 10. Brake Drums For The 356 For those looking to restore a Porsche 356 to showroom condition, replacement drums have not been available for years. You might wonder why anyone would keep such small brakes, but consider how light the original Porsche was. Sure, they could have had decent quality drums from cast iron made in Asia, where almost all brakes come from. But Porsche chose the path less traveled. They modeled original brakes in 3D software before firing up the furnace. Forged from the best steel, a set of four costs more than a good daily driver. They are $1,200 each, a small price to pay to keep your 356 in proper condition. 9. Crank Bearings After browsing through all the accessories and merchandise, Porsche cares about your crankshaft. If you have never rebuilt an engine, crank bearings are not normal wear items. They are the most important part of any engine, so they are supposed to last a decade at least. A high-quality replacement set can be hard to find, so Porsche Classic has these on sale for $788.74. They will fit most 911 engines from 1987 to 2001, but you should probably not install these at home. 8. Rear Crossmember Rust treats every car the same way. If you are restoring a 911 or 912, odds are the rear cross member has some form of corrosion. Just like Lebowski's rug, it really ties the car together. In all honesty, this piece of steel supports the rear bumper and literally holds the car together. If your car is missing this, you might want to reconsider your notions of safety along with the cost of the restoration. It fits every 911 from 1965 to 1989, and it's only $699.61 7. Brown Floor Mats Look down and frown at your brown. Floor mats don't last long under proper heel-toe shifting. Any aftermarket mat will not have the exact contours of the 911 floor pan, so these are easily worth $223.34 6. Speakers Ok, stock speakers? Up until a few years ago, every car arrived with garbage speakers. An entire generation was raised on aftermarket audio, and we know that decent sound cannot be made by a 4"x6" coaxials with a paper cone. Oh, and they are $223.68 5. Oil Bag A neat idea to keep your oil and funnel organized and out of sight. It is shaped to only fit Porsche's 1-liter oil cans, so don't go cheap on your lubrication. $46.45 4. Reprinted 356 Body Manual Dr. Porsche built the first 356 bodies out of aluminum. These lightweight cars were fun and nimble, which allowed him to sell dealers on his idea for the perfect sports car. As orders came in, the small factory in Austria couldn't keep up, so production moved to Reutter car works in Stuttgart. They chose steel to keep costs down and improve safety. This handy booklet was written by Reutter as an owners manual. Reutter car works are still in business, and they shortened their name to Recaro. If I knew German I would gladly pay $76.20 for it. 3. GT2 & GT3 Foam Tool Tray If you want your GT2 or GT3 to go faster on the track, the foam tool tray was probably the first item to be tossed. This proves that Porsche cares about all parts equally, Why can't all manufacturers do this? 2. Octane Sticker For Turbo Cars Germans love to remind us that 95 octane is race fuel in the US. Florida is lucky enough to have 93, but it is really 87 with 15% ethanol spiked in to kill off all the old clunkers. European premium fuel allows for more ignition timing and therefore more power. Make Gas Great Again! 1. Tire Pillows The ultimate example of Porsche's loyalty to their customers. These innovative devices cradle your tires to prevent the formation of hard spots. Or, you could drive your car once a week. A set of four is only $599.49. Included is a warning against tires wider than 255mm (10"). We wonder what Freud would say about size comparisons...We can't make this up, and everything you see above is available at your local Porsche dealer. To be honest, every automaker sells items just as intriguing. So if you like this format, tell us which parts department we should visit next.Check Out Porsche Classic Sometimes A Car Is More Than Its Parts

duPont REGISTRY's Most Popular Cars of 2017

Another lap around the sun is almost complete. We're thankful for our fans and our dealers who keep the lights on, and for the ability to enjoy to share our experiences via Social Media to our friends around the world.Looking Back at duPont REGISTRY’s Year in 2017Thanks to our SEO team, we're consistently at the top of most car inquiries. Naturally, this drives traffic to the world's best resource for exotic cars for sale. One of the sharpest tools in our arsenal is our analytics, so we have compiled the top 10 cars searches of the year. Every car has its own page, that offers several ways to contact the seller, we count those as inquiries. A phone call is still the most popular, but some private sellers will only have email.Last but not least, we still have a few old-timers who want an engraved inquiry in iambic pentameter. Inquires happen 24/7 from around the globe, and from 1 anonymous person in Antarctica. We'll compile those statistics closer to the 1st of the year; So sit back and relax then tell us your favorite car from the list below.10. Ferrari F12berlinetta This one is a no-brainer. Ferrari has been building the F12berlinetta since 2012, and Maranello will build it exactly to your specifications. When you consider it makes 730 horsepower without turbos or hybrid complexities, the big V12 is a symphony at 8,300 rpm. 9. Lamborghini Aventador SV You will see it twice on this list for good reason. The Aventador SV takes no prisoners and it offers no apologies. SV stands for Super Veloce, or "Super Speed" in Italian. Not just a body kit, it has more power, less weight, and rear wheel steering. The magnetic suspension offers the best of both world: comfort and uncompromising grip. 8. Ford Mustang With the return of the turbocharged 4-cylinder, Ford fans have been flexing their EcoBoost mileage at everyone. The Flat Rock Assembly Plant turned out no less than 105,000 Mustangs last year, so you can't argue with sales of that magnitude. 7. Porsche 911 Turbo S Everyone needs 580 horsepower and All Wheel Drive! The Turbo S has been king of the Porsche 911 series for years. This year they took us behind the scenes with the Exclusive Series to show us their unrivaled attention to detail. The new Dynamic boost function keeps the turbos spinning by cutting fuel and leaving the throttle open. This means turbo lag is eliminated during spirited driving. 6. Ferrari 458 As the last naturally aspirated V8, Ferrari fans have flocked to find their own 458. The coupes (458 Italia) were the basis for Speciale and Aperta versions which offer 597 horsepower at 9,000 rpm. It is also the final V8 powered car to wear a Pininfarina body, marking the end of an era for Ferrari designs. 5. Porsche 911 GT3 RS A significant majority of our readers have owned some flavor of Porsche 911. Making 500 horsepower from a 4.0-liter flat-six is incredible, and it only has 3,155 lbs to push around. The wide body makes use of carbon fiber and magnesium panels, and the solid motor mounts allow you feel everything on your way to 9,000 rpm. 4. Chevrolet Corvette America's first sports car turns 65 in 2018, but the model-year will be shortened to make way for the return of the king. The Corvette 2019 ZR1 is a 755 horsepower beast at a bargain price. Chevy's most powerful car ever, it offers 715 lb-ft of torque to a 7-speed stick or 8-speed automatic transmission. 3. Lamborghini Aventador Because the SV is simply too powerful for most, the Lamborghini Aventador in normal form is a popular choice. The cockpit is one piece of carbon fiber which makes it light & strong. It is the basis for the SV, Veneno, and the Centenario, along with the targa top roadsters. 2. Ferrari 488 The latest and greatest from Maranello uses a 3.9 liter V8 and twin turbos to make 660 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque. Offered as a coupe (GTB) and convertible (Spider), the 488 has equal-length headers that feed into twin-scroll turbines, each with lightweight alloy internals. 1. Lamborghini Huracan It was a close race between the top two, but our most searched car of 2017 was the Lamborghini Huracan. It doesn't use forced induction or a carbon fiber chassis, it is a big V10 offered in 5 flavors. Choose from coupe or Spyder, rear or All Wheel Drive, or the Performante if you are chasing lap records. The comfortable cruiser will transform into a raging bull at a moment's notice. Arriving in an LP640-4 is like showing up to an indoor range with a 50 cal.Each one of these cars is a story unto itself, so click on their links to find your next ride. We'll see you in 2018, Happy Holidays from all of us at duPont REGISTRY.

Ten Icy Lamborghinis for Winter 2017

Winter time is here and with it comes all sorts of extraordinarily cold weather. For us, down in Florida, a drop below 60 degrees calls for the biggest jacket in the closet and the need to say: "I wish Summer was here." For those North of us, 60 degrees would be considered a blessing, as it would melt away the feet of snow many states can receive. Sure, some people enjoy the snow and like the sight of a powder-white scenery. For those who would rather look at a white Lamborghini instead of white snow, we've got a selection of some icy supercars for you.Lamborghinis for Sale 1983 Lamborghini Countach LP5000S View Price and Listing 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV View Price and Listing 1999 Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster View Price and Listing 2010 Lamborghini Murcielago SV View Price and Listing 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale View Price and Listing 2014 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-2 50th Anniversario View Price and Listing 2015 Lamborghini Huracan View Price and Listing 2016 Lamborghini Huracan View Price and Listing 2017 Lamborghini Aventador S View Price and Listing 2017 Lamborghini Aventador SV Roadster View Price and Listing

Top 5 Lamborghini Concept Cars

Unlike your more common automotive manufacturers, there aren't new Lamborghinis coming out all of the time. Instead, Lamborghini likes make their model reveals more momentous and rare as opposed to just doing slight model updates every year. Take the new Urus SUV, which was just unveiled recently. Lamborghini has been teasing us with the Urus for years now and has been building it up with different concept cars and little bits of info here and there.Lamborghinis for SaleThose concept cars that Lamborghini reveals typically go one of two ways, either they're close to the production version or are off-of-the-walls crazy looking. For decades Lamborghini has been creating some of the wildest concept cars and have also inspired artists to create their own renditions of what a raging bull concept car would look like. Below are our top five Lamborghini concept cars.https://blog.dupontregistry.com/concept-cars/lamborghini-rat-rod/https://blog.dupontregistry.com/lamborghini/official-lamborghini-egoista/https://blog.dupontregistry.com/concept-cars/lamborghini-terzo-millennio-supercar-future/https://blog.dupontregistry.com/lamborghini/asterion/lamborghini-asterion-lpi-910-4-mondial-de-lautomobile-2014/https://blog.dupontregistry.com/events/lamborghini-concept-s-up-for-auction/

Artist Paints Millions of Dollars in Supercars
