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.

Ferrari Pista Sets Amazing Lap Time at the 'Ring

Enzo Ferrari lived in style. His home was located in the infield of their famous Fiorano test track. That's why he didn't care much for lap times on foreign soil. To find out just how capable their latest model is, our friends at Sport Auto recorded a Ferrari Pista setting an amazing lap time at the 'Ring. Without the budget for weeks of hot laps, Editor-In-Chief Christian Gebhardt slapped on new tires and prepared to make history. He crossed the line at 7:00.03, making it one of the fastest street-legal cars in production. Click the link below to experience one for yourself and stay with us for all your Ferrari news.

Ferrari 488 Pista Price, Specs, Photos & Review

Ferrari 488 Pista Price Each evolution of Ferrari's mid-engine flagship seems to leave its predecessor in the dust. Such is the case when you consider a Ferrari 488 Pista for sale. That is because the Ferrari 488 Pista price is a fraction of what it cost to build. Innovations made in the engine and aerodynamics are amortized across the Ferrari lineup. Not only does this make the 488 Pista price affordable in this segment, but it also allows you to enjoy the abilities of a supercar without the sticker shock. The Ferrari 488 Pista MSRP allows you to spend a few dollars on special options. You deserve embroidered headrests and contrast stitching. Ferrari 488 Pista Review "Pista" translates to "track", and that is its purpose. In order to create a track-focused machine, all non-essential weight was cut. The hood, fenders and rear deck are carbon fiber. Transitioning away from aluminum has been a gradual process, and it has allowed for a curb weight of 3,053 lbs. Losing weight and gaining power transform the accelerator into a brutal instrument. Less weight also allowed engineers to stiffen the suspension. Turn-ins are razor-sharp, and "Race" mode enables the magnetic shocks to keep the car level in the corners. The Ferrari 488 Pista unveiled the Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer. It uses the 6th generation of their Side Slip Control. Known internally as SSC 6.0, it incorporates the shocks, brake force distribution, and stability control into a cohesive system. Ferrari 488 Pista Specs Some enthusiasts will tell you that a car this beautiful speaks for itself. Nevertheless, in order to give you a proper understanding of the Ferrari 488 Pista, we need to examine the Ferrari 488 Pista specs in detail. The car borrows many parts from the Ferrari 488 GT3 program, so it is closer to a track car than a streetcar. With ample power and active aerodynamics, the Ferrari 488 Pista top speed is 211 mph. Given a set of drag radials and a quick reaction time, the Ferrari 488 Pista 0-60 is 2.9 seconds. Price: $350,000 Engine: 3.9-liter Twin-turbo V8 Transmission: 7-speed dual-clutch Horsepower: 710 hp Torque: 586 0-60 mph: 2.9s 1/4 mile: 10.1 @144 mph Top Speed: 211 mph Ferrari 488 Pista Engine As we mentioned above, the Ferrari 488 Pista engine has more in common with their racing program than a regular production Ferrari 488 engine. Starting at the top, the heads are optimized for better flow. This allows maximum torque of 586 lb-ft to arrive at only 3,000 rpm. The headers and downpipes are handmade from Inconel-X. Needing to be heat resistant, it is the same material used in the Saturn V engine nozzles. They feed dual-scroll billet turbochargers with CNC-machined one-piece shafts. Ferrari Unveils 488 Pista Piloti Edition The pistons were domed to raise the compression ratio to 9.6:1. They ride on titanium rods that are 40% lighter than steel. This loss in reciprocating weight allowed the crankshaft to lose 37 lbs. This allows for instant response and no turbo lag. The camshaft profiles are more aggressive to the exhaust side. This keeps the turbine pressurized. Computer-controlled wastegates snap shut in the twinkling of an eye. This prevents any turbo-lag when your right foot demands action. Ferrari 488 Pista Transmission With such a substantial increase in power, it would be a death sentence for their normal 7-speed Dual-Clutch automatic. So they started with new clutch packs for even and odd gears. The ratios were customized to the new powerband, and each gear is motivated by the strongest servos on the market. This allows the Ferrari 488 Pista Transmission to shift gears in 30 milliseconds. It is needless to say that Ferrari has perfected the dual-clutch gearbox. It is a mistake to not offer a manual transmission, but finding a six-speed capable of handling this power proved to be unfeasible. Ferrari 488 Pista Interior To achieve their target curb weight, the Ferrari 488 Pista interior is spartan. The standard options are Alcantara for the seats and dash. You will not have carpet or any sound insulation. It does have a basic infotainment system and Air Conditioning, but not much more. The seats can accept a 6-point racing harness, and they are not powered. Visibility is decent, and the carbon fiber weave of the dash is perfect. Behind the seats is a small cargo net, and there is a nice amount of cargo space under the hood. Ferrari 488 Pista Brakes One meter can be the difference between life and death. That is why the Ferrari 488 Pista brakes are the largest they have ever offered. The front rotors measure 15.6", with 14.1" on the rear wheels. All four brake lines are controlled by the Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer. It uses solenoids to individually apply the appropriate force to each caliper. In wet mode, pre-fill keeps the pads dry by gently wiping rain off of the rotor. Brake bias left to right works in conjunction with the electronic differential. It will allow you to hold a corner like never before, definitely a confidence booster! We would like to see steel rotors available for track days, so perhaps the aftermarket will surprise us. Ferrari 488 Pista Aerodynamics Explained Ferrari 488 Pista Standout Features It comes as a shock when people notice the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider. To offer a convertible version of your best car is nearly unprecedented. To have the wind in your hair, the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider can drop its top in 14 seconds. It can be raised or lowered up to 30 mph, and it offers a coupe-like silhouette. Only a trained eye will notice the separation seams for the top. Another Ferrari 488 Pista standout feature is offering 20 mpg on the highway. City mileage is 15 mpg, not bad considering the Ferrari 488 Pista specs. Normally, most Ferraris arrive with aluminum wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires. The Ferrari 488 Pista offers carbon fiber wheels that are 40% lighter than the base model forged wheels. Michelin developed a specific compound for each corner. On the front are 245/35/20, with 305/30/20 on the rear. Browse Ferrari 488 Pista For Sale " width="680">
