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.

Watch Jay Leno Drive The New 715HP Ferrari Purosangue 'FU...

While the first-ever Ferrari SUV has made a monumental impact on the automotive market, the Purosangue still remains a unicorn, as only a handful of examples have landed on U.S. soil for high-profile clients. Among the lucky few to have taken delivery, the list of Ferrari Purosangue owners includes celebrities like soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and Scuderia Ferrari HP F1 driver Charles Leclerc. The next car-crazy celeb to get behind the wheel of the 2024 Ferrari Purosangue is Jay Leno, who featured the four-door Italian super SUV on the newest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. The test mule for the first drive is none other than Ferrari Brand Ambassador and Ferrari fanatic David Lee, who owns a stable of Ferraris that includes The Big Five (288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari) in both red and yellow. Having been one of the first owners to receive a Purosangue in the United States, the Los Angeles-based collector took his Giallo Modena spec down to Jay's garage for a full walkaround on Ferrari's revolutionary new model. The 'FUV' shies away from the traditional motorsport approach that Enzo focused on for decades, tapping into a new market of buyers who want to daily drive a fun and practical Ferrari. Its entry into the luxury SUV market proved to be a monumental strategy as both Jay and David discuss the immediate sell-out of all 1,000 units for 2024. At a base price of around $400K, the two agree that it's a hefty price to pay, but it will ultimately pay off as recent Ferrari values continue to skyrocket as investments amongst supercar and hypercar collectors continue to skyrocket After a full exterior and interior of the Purosangue and its extra $150K options, Jay and David take it out on the open road to see if Ferrari's SUV drives as well as it looks. Delivering over 715 horsepower and 528 lb-ft of torque to a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, the Purosangue embodies Ferrari's authentic DNA through a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 mounted at the front. And with rumors of a possible swap to a twin-turbocharged V8 or hybrid-assisted powertrain in the near future, Ferrari's first batch of V12-powered Purosangues will surely hold their value as future collector-grade cars. Judging by the smiles as the FUV climbs through gears, making all the right noises from its exhaust, it's clear that the Ferrari Purosangue gets the stamp of approval from Jay Leno's Garage.

Ferrari 812 Superfast vs. 812 GTS: Which Is Right For You?

Which version of the Ferrari 812 is perfect for you? There’s nothing in the automotive world as special as owning a Ferrari. With its incredible history in performance, innovation, and style, Ferrari is one of if not the greatest name to have in any collector’s garage. On top of that, The Ferrari 812 Superfast and its spider sibling, the Ferrari 812 GTS, are two of the greatest Ferraris ever made. What is the difference between the Ferrari 812 Superfast and Ferrari 812 GTS? The main difference between the two is quite obvious: one is a fixed-roof coupe, while the other is a convertible with a retractable hard top. However, the cars have other differences that set them apart as individual and incredible machines in their own right. While both cars feature the same incredible 6.5-liter V12 engine, producing 789 horsepower and 530 lb/ft of torque, the Ferrari 812 Superfast is slightly faster; such is the case for cars with fixed-roof variants and convertible variants with more optimal aerodynamics and lighter weight (approximately 165 pounds). The Superfast is able to sprint from 0-60 in less than 2.9 seconds, while the GTS takes a slightly longer 3.0. Much of the reason that the GTS is heavier is due to the fact that convertibles need added reinforcement for chassis stability and mechanical components to open and close the roof. This requirement also meant that Ferrari had to redesign much of the rear portion of the 812 GTS compared to the Superfast. The result was two buttresses behind each seat that evoke the look of many of the classic race cars that put Ferrari on the map. On the topic of Ferrari classics, another fact about the 812 GTS is that its introduction in 2019 marked the first introduction of a V12-powered, front-engined Ferrari to have the droptop “Spider” designation in an incredible 50 years, with the last Ferrari quite like it being the 1969 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 “Daytona Spider.” Whether you prefer the high-performance grand touring 812 Superfast, or the glamorous and raucous wind-in-your-hair 812 GTS, you not only have an incredible car but one of the greatest Ferraris on your hands. Check out some examples of these incredible cars for sale below. What does "GTS" stand for in 812 GTS? For Ferrari, "GTS," which stands for "Gran Turismo Spider," is a common designation for the brand's Spider (convertible) models. Often times, but not in the case of the 812, the fixed-roof counterpart will be designated "GTB," or "Gran Turismo Berlinetta." These naming conventions go back decades through various generations of Ferrari models. Why is it called the Ferrari 812 Superfast? Many of Ferrari's models are more than qualified to be given the name "Superfast." However, Ferrari decided that, because of the 812 Superfast's character that echoes that of many classic performance cars, it would name the car after a series of previous Ferraris that it pays homage to. These Ferraris were a group of front-engined grand touring cars all named Superfast from the 1950s to 1960s. Why the number 812? The number 8 refers to 800, which is the metric horsepower figure of both the 812 Superfast and 812 GTS. 12, however, refers to the number of cylinders in its V12 engine, which makes this amazing car part of a dying breed.

Kevin Hart Spotted Driving A Ferrari 812 Competizione By ...

Kevin's car collection is getting serious! If you're casually cruising through Hollywood, there's a good chance you'll spot celebrities driving through the hills in some of the most popular and exclusive supercars on the market today. Whether we're talking about A-list actors or world-renowned athletes, the Gold Coast always proves to be a haven for high-dollar net worths and seven-figure supercars. One Hollywood Bus Tour had a day to remember after recently crossing paths with American comedian and actor Kevin Hart, who was out driving his million-dollar Ferrari 812 Competizione. Alongside being an entertainment icon and luxury watch ambassador for Audemars Piguet, Kevin Hart has proved his status as an elite car collector time and time again. Kevin's car collection features everything from award-winning muscle cars to limited-production Italian supercars, showcasing his genuine love for anything automotive. The Ferrari 812 Competizione stands out as one of the Italian marque's most recent limited-production models, with only 999 coupes and 599 Aperta variants available worldwide. Kevin Hart's 812 Competizione comes straight from Maranello, sporting a stealthy gloss black finish with tons of exposed carbon fiber trim. Known for adding a personal touch to each of his cars, Kevin had swapped the factory Ferrari sports wheels for a set of multi-piece carbon HRE wheels that sit pretty in front of the yellow carbon ceramic brakes. And while this is definitely considered to be one of the best Ferraris ever made, this is not Kevin's first prancing horse added to his garage fleet. Along with being the first SF90 Spider owner in the U.S., his history of Ferrari ownership also includes the open-top 488 Spider and track-inspired 488 Pista. Happy to see him behind the wheel of a front-engine Ferrari, we now wonder what Kevin Hart's next car purchase will be.
