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.

By Tyler Rampersaud – August 10, 2022

The New 1,500-LB, 1,200-HP, 223-MPH Rodin FZERO Is Enteri...

The world’s fastest track experience is coming soon. New Zealand-based Rodin Cars released the FZED, which gave drivers the experience of an F1 car without needing to be a part of the incredibly exclusive series. However, it was three years ago that it was revealed that Rodin’s next venture would be the even more ludicrous FZERO hypercar, and now, Rodin is proud to announce that the new FZERO will be entering production with the first of its highly exclusive 27 units coming off of the assembly line in the summer of next year. MUST READ: The First Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Test Car Is Alive The car is built for the track only, and because it’s not built to adhere to any road or racing series regulations, the new Rodin FZERO promises to deliver the ultimate track performance, without being bogged down by any specification limits. The car will be powered by a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V10 engine with a hybrid system, and it will produce a whopping total of 1176 horsepower. Combine that with the fact that the car will also weigh just over 1,500 pounds, and what you have on your hands is an absolute monster when it comes to performance. Each of the FZERO’s 27 owners will be able to configure various aspects of the car depending on the tracks on which it will be driven and the driving styles of their owners. Other ownership perks include racewear services, vehicle storage, and delivery, and driver training at Rodin’s private race tracks. In addition, the Rodin FZERO can produce downforce up to 4 times the car’s weight, and that incredibly light weight comes even with a bespoke 8-speed gearbox with a titanium 3D-printed case, along with a hydraulic computer-controlled differential. The incredibly powerful and lightweight Rodin FZERO is capable of speeds of over 223 mph, and it will definitely be a driving experience that’s once in a lifetime and only 27 times in the world.

What Is The Fastest Ferrari?

Since we deal in the world of Italian exotic cars, we get asked a lot of questions. Often times our fans will get very technical, going as deep as engine tuning or construction methods. But other times we are stumped by a seemingly easy question. This week we had to do some homework to answer “What is the fastest Ferrari”. The short answer is “all of them” but fast can be defined in a few ways, and Ferrari has stock in all of them. Ferrari’s fastest cars range from cars that soar at over 200 miles per hour, to cars that accelerate in a flash, to cars that do both with the help of Ferrari’s incredible engineering capability, the Ferrari brand has lasted the decades that they have because they know how to make some of the fastest, most powerful, and most beautiful automobiles the world has ever seen. The most commonly used acceleration measurement is 0-60. To be able to reach highway speed under 5 seconds used to be incredible, but now Maranello makes 3 seconds times look easy. Although mainly used to compare cars in the US, the quarter-mile times are a great way to understand a car’s abilities. Some of the fastest Ferrari cars are geared for high-speed cruising, so they really start moving on the top end of the racetrack. Finally, the top speed of each car is used for bragging rights, but how do they compare to each other? To understand what the fastest Ferrari in the world is, here are the most popular street-legal Ferraris on our site, whether it be because they’re incredibly fast, incredibly iconic, a pleasure to drive, or a mix of all of those things. F430 Scuderia Spider 16M As the ultimate example of the fastest F430, the 2009 F430 Scuderia Spider 16M was built as a celebration of 16 World Constructor’s Victories in Formula1. Essentially a convertible version of the F430 Scuderia, all civilities were removed to make the ultimate drop-top rocket ship. The interior is made of billet aluminum and carbon fiber, and mufflers are nowhere to be found. The 4.3 liter V8 is rated at 503 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque. Between the fact that it’s an incredibly beautiful and unique car to drive, not to mention powerful, only 499 examples were built, so collectors demand a premium when they change hands. 0-60: 3.6 seconds 1/4 Mile: 11.8 @ 122 mph Top Speed: 196 mph 812 Superfast If you need twelve screaming cylinders of hand built perfection, the 812 Superfast will solve most of life’s problems. It offers 788 horsepower and 529 lb-ft of torque from a 6.5 liter V12. It is coupled with a 7-speed dual clutch automatic with ratios tailored exactly to the engine’s power band. 2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast Specs, Price, Photos & Review “Superfast” wasn’t a name that Ferrari gave this car in jest. To make sure the car lived up to it, they designed and built it from the ground up. The chassis was a clean-sheet design of several layers of steel and aluminum. Unencumbered by weaknesses of prior models, it is the most confident and comfortable Ferrari to date. 0-60: 2.8 seconds 1/4 Mile: 10.4 @ 138.6 mph Top Speed: 211 mph F8 Tributo Can a high-performance car also be good for the environment? The F8 Tributo makes the most of its 3.9L engine. By squeezing every ounce of performance from pump gas, the 3.9-liter twin-turbo v8 makes 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. By using larger turbos than the 488 GTB, it cranks out more horsepower and torque. To that point, the F8 Tributo’s incredible performance and even more incredible looks make it a worthy successor to the iconic 488 and 458 models that came before it.Titanium rods and a lighter flywheel also help. 0-60: 2.9 seconds 1/4 Mile: Under 10- seconds Top Speed: 211 mph Source: Ferrari Enzo As a fitting tribute to their legendary founder, the Ferrari Enzo is an F1 car with a street-legal body, and the power, engineering, and incredible beauty that it combines makes it arguably the most iconic modern Ferrari ever. It used a 6.3 liter V12 and a six-speed single-clutch automatic to propel a carbon-fiber body. It has been the best automotive investment in the modern era, considering the base price of $652,000. Recent examples have sold for over $1.5 Million. As the meanest horse in the stable, it is the benchmark for all competitors. 0-60: 3.1 seconds 1/4 Mile:11.0 @ 133 Top Speed: 211 F40 Meeting your idol in person can sometimes be disappointing, but the F40 is everything you think it is, and more! The wild twin-turbo V8 supercar was the last project overseen by the founder before he passed away. The last Ferrari halo car to have a manual transmission, it laid waste to nearly every other production car of the era. Before computers could accurately control wheelspin or turbo boost, the F40 was notorious for scaring the world’s best drivers. Stacking twin turbos into a lightweight body makes this world’s fastest Ferrari in its day. Turbos weren’t the only twin in the F40, however. This Ferrari also features two fuel tanks, one on either side of the car. View the Complete Ferrari F40 Specs 0-60: 4.2 seconds 1/4 Mile: 11.8 @ 124 Top Speed: 199 mph 599 GTO As the fastest version of the 599 GTB, the Gran Turismo Omologato was a street-legal version of the 599XX race car, and with that car as a close relative, the 599 GTO was bound to be one of the fastest Ferraris ever from the moment it was conceived. It was a limited production two-seater capable of lapping the Fiorano test track one second faster than the Enzo. Only 599 cars were built, and each one made 661 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. 0-60: 3.1 seconds 1/4 Mile: 11.0 Top Speed: over 208 mph Portofino While it was not built for breaking records, the Portofino was a long-awaited successor to the California. A 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 is shared with the 488 GTB. It offers 600 horsepower and 651 lb-ft of torque. If the power isn’t enough, the hardtop folds away to reveal a sleek roadster. New aluminum extrusions and laser welding have yielded a chassis that is 35% stiffer. Back seat passengers have 5cm more legroom and much more headroom with the top in place. Like the California before it, plenty of power and a luxurious top-down experience make the Portofino a blast to drive. Ferrari Portofino Specs, Price, Photos & Reviews 0-60: 3.1 seconds 1/4 Mile: 10.9 @ 125 Top Speed: 199 mph SF90 Stradale It is time for Ferrari to embrace the Plug-In hybrid. Although the LaFerrari did offer home charging, it is not the HVDC of the future. So say hello to the SF90 Stradale. Instead of a V12, it uses a twin-turbo 3.9L V8 and hybrid drive to offer 986 horsepower, making it not only one of the fastest Ferraris, but also one of the most futuristic cars the brand has ever offered. 0-60: 2.5 seconds 1/4 Mile: under 9 seconds Top Speed: 211 mph 488 GTB The state of the art in Scuderia Shields is among a handful of street-legal 10-second cars. It uses a 3.9 liter twin-turbo V8 much like the California T, but mounted behind the cockpit, and with the mid-engined layout and the lack of a convertible top, this Ferrari is ready to rumble. Turbos are great for torque, so it offers 561 lb-ft, whereas the F12berlinetta made do with 509 lb-ft. If you aren’t excited by 660 horsepower, speak with your doctor about changing your meds. View the Complete Ferrari 488 GTB Specs 0-60: 3.0 seconds 1/4 Mile: 10.3 @ 137 Top Speed: 205 mph 296 GTB Coming out of Maranello is the new Ferrari 296 GTB, a new hybrid supercar that packs a V6 engine and hybrid power. Don’t let the thought of a smaller engine fool you, because this new model packs 818 horsepower and 546 lb-ft of torque. 0-6: 2.8 seconds 1/4 Mile: N/A Top Speed: 205+ mph LaFerrari When you combine years of racing dominance and the latest in hybrid technology, you have an object of desire. And with the second-hand market asking millions of dollars for the LaFerrari, desired it is. Batteries and two motors/generators are bolted to a 6.3 liter V12. Currently, the LaFerrari the world’s fastest Ferrari model. But, we’re sure that will change. View the Complete Ferrari LaFerrari Specs 0-60: 2.4 seconds 1/4 Mile: 9.7 @149 Top Speed: 217 mph F50 The F50 is a classic and iconic Ferrari whose performance still lives up to many of today’s supercar standards after 27 years. That’s thanks to a V12 engine that produces 512 horsepower and a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout perfect for motorsport, the F50 reaches 60 miles per hour in under 4 seconds, and tops out at a true-to-form Ferrari top speed of over 200 mph. 0-60: 3.7seconds 1/4 Mile: 11.9 @ 122 Top Speed: 202 mph Sell Your Ferrari: Get a Cash Offer

Premier Financial's Ten Most Leased Exotic Cars

This year went by fast, but the cars that Premier Financial leases are faster. Premier Financial has been leasing exotic cars since 1997, and each year they come up with a list of the ten most leased exotic cars of the year. This year, it’s no surprise that the cars that made it on the list did because they are all incredible machines that Premier Financial makes it easy to get behind the wheel of. Audi R8 Image Source: Audi When it first came out in 2006, Audi’s supercar had been a long time coming, and since, it’s been an incredible car, and a well-loved staple in the world of exotic and supercars for its immense power, confident dynamism, and world-class looks. The R8 Performance Coupe with 562 horsepower and rear-wheel drive starts at $148,700, and even after 15 years, it’s still as popular as ever. Ferrari 488 GTB Image Source: Ferrari As the successor to the 458, the Ferrari 4888 GTB was the first Ferrari since the F40 to offer a turbocharged engine, specifically in this case a twin-turbocharged 3.9 liter V8, producing a whopping 661 horsepower, and getting the car from a standstill to 125 miles per hour in 8.3 seconds. The Pista and Pista Spider versions of the 488 up the ante even more, and if that’s the case, it’s no wonder so many people want this car. Lamborghini Aventador Image Source: Lamborghini Even at the end of its production cycle, the Aventador still holds up as Lamborghini’s legendary flagship V12 car. With a naturally aspirated V12, the Aventador boasts raw power and brute strength, and the SVJ edition flexed that strength by setting a sub-7-minute production car record lap time at the Nürburgring. Even as Aventadors cease production, the pre-owned market remains alive and well, as a car like the Aventador is bound to do. Mercedes-Benz G-Class It seems like there isn't a person in existence who doesn’t know or love the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen. With the luxury off-roader constantly getting shouted out in songs or featured on television, there’s no shortage of fans of the rare and classic body-on-frame SUV. When you consider that the top-of-the-line AMG G63 gets 577 horsepower and features a low-range gear and 3 locking differentials, it’s no wonder the G-Class is so popular because of its limitless capability. Bentley Continental GT Image Source: Bentley This swoon-worthy luxury coupe has been around in its current iteration since 2003 and is now in its second generation. But we haven’t gotten tired of the Continental GT yet, and neither have Premier Financial’s customers. That’s because it’s a dream come true with all-wheel drive, at least 542 horsepower, and as much as 28 miles to the gallon, not to mention the sumptuous cabin and superior driving dynamics. Lamborghini Urus Image Source: Lamborghini Following in the footsteps of its relative, the Porsche Cayenne, the Lamborghini Urus in no time at all has become Lamborghini’s best-selling model. It’s a Lamborghini through and through, with loud, bold, angular Lamborghini styling, 641 horsepower, and a quarter-mile time of just over 11 seconds. What makes the Urus so popular is the fact that it’s a true Lamborghini and a true SUV, and who doesn’t want the best of both worlds? Porsche 911 GT3 Image Source: Porsche Porsche’s ultimate, track-focused 911 is as hot on the tarmac as it is a hot seller. The 911 has been a dynamic, popular, and impossibly capable sports car for decades, and the 911 GT3, and even quicker GT3RS push the 911 to its absolute limit. With the 2019 GT3RS boasting 520 horsepower from its 4-liter flat-six engine and carrying as little as 3,153 pounds, it doesn’t get much quicker than that. McLaren 720S Image Source: McLaren McLaren’s racing heritage and passion for innovation have made incredible cars over the years. The F1 broke world records, the P1 helped mark the beginning of a new era for the entire supercar industry, and the 720S became a modern classic with its stunning looks and “butterfly” dihedral doors, 710 horsepower, and a quarter-mile time of just 10.1 seconds. Porsche 911 Turbo Image Source: Porsche While the GT3 might be Porsche’s most intense 911 model, the 911 Turbo strikes a sublime balance of performance and luxury for many customers. Just because the GT3 is faster doesn’t mean the Turbo is slow, however. Two and a half seconds is what it’ll take to get you from 0-60 miles per hour in a Turbo S, and Porsche says the car will keep going until 205 miles per hour. Past Turbo S 911s have become modern classics already, so it’s no surprise that love for the 911 Turbo still goes strong. Lamborghini Huracan Image Source: Lamborghini The Huracan might be Lamborghini’s entry-level model, but what you’re entering is a world of crazy-fast cars. The current Huracan EVO is good for up to 631 horsepower coming from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine and combined with an agile, light, mid-engined, all-wheel-drive setup, you can expect to get to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, and cover a quarter-mile in just over 10 seconds. A car with that kind of horsepower is sure to have people lining up to get behind the wheel, and that’s just what it did. Source: Premier Financial Services
