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 Ferrari's V12, V8, & V6 Engines Compete In The Ulti...

Let's see which one of Ferrari's engines comes out on top. Since its humble beginnings as a small-batch sports car workshop, Ferrari has always been known for fitting massive engines inside small, lightweight chassis. It began with the legendary 1947 Ferrari 125s with its 1.5L V12, and the tradition continues today with exclusive examples like the 812 Competizione. And while the V12 is unfortunately making its slow exit from regular production, Ferrari has found ways to create the visceral experience it's known for through turbocharged V8 and hybrid-assisted V6 engines. With such a diverse lineup of performance powertrains, Carwow decided to put them all in a head-to-head race to see which would remain victorious as Ferrari's fastest engine configuration. The weapons of choice pulled from Ferrari's stable for the epic drag race are the 812 Superfast, SF90 Stradale, and 296 GTB. Starting off in the hybrid supercar category, the 296 GTB features Ferrari's first 6-cylinder, which is accompanied by a set of turbochargers and a 123kW electric motor to make an impressive 819 horsepower. Its bigger sibling, the SF90 Stradale, uses the same complex configuration but uses a V8 to crank out 986 horsepower. The 812 Superfast is a whole other animal, showcasing a front-engine design that houses a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 that makes 789 horsepower and instant torque. With weight, aero, and horsepower in mind, it's hard to put your bet on any of them because of the benefits that each has to offer. While the Ferrari 296 GTB boasts a lightweight V6 design and the Ferrari 812 Superfast off-the-line speed from its massive V12, the Ferrari SF90 Stradale proves to hold the perfect recipe with a sizable engine assisted with state-of-the-art hybrid performance.

Ferrari's LaFerrari And 812 Successor Prototypes Spotted ...

From regular production supercars to unseen hybrid hypercar prototypes, Ferrari isn't slowing down on production. Throughout its prestigious history as one of the most renowned supercar manufacturers in the world, Ferrari has graced the automotive world with some truly spectacular creations as part of its ultra-exclusive production series. At the hands of Enzo Ferrari himself, these now multi-million dollar, collector-grade Ferrari examples include icons like the 288 GTO and F40. And even after the passing of its founder, Ferrari continued its tradition by engineering the F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari. Since the release of the hybrid-powered LaFerrari in 2013, the team has been hard at work in Maranello, Italy to create the successor to Ferrari's most powerful and expensive hypercar. Automotive YouTuber Varryx took a trip to Italy, where he sat outside the walls of Ferrari's production facility in hopes of catching a glimpse at some prototype test mules covered in the manufacturer's infamous camouflage wraps. In addition to seeing some incredible Purosangue, Roma, F8 Spider, 812 GTS, and 296 GTS specs traveling throughout Ferrari grounds on test drives before customer deliveries, Varryx spotted the first prototype of the day as the F250 hypercar. Deemed the LaFerrari's successor, the F250 features an array of design characteristics inspired by past and present models. Its camo wrap cannot disguise the SF90-style taillights or bright yellow stickers indicating its role as Ferrari's next upcoming plug-in hybrid. The next prototype documented was the F167, otherwise known as the Ferrari 812's replacement. The star of the day happened to be a mysterious F250 prototype that even Varryx has yet to see on Ferrari's property, which is just another example of Ferrari's dedication to always evolving its lineup. As Varryx continues to put in the long hours behind the camera for all Ferrari fans, be sure to keep a look out for announcements on some of these upcoming supercars and hypercars.

Ferrari Achieves Record-Breaking 2023 Financial Results

Ferrari crosses 2023’s finish line to a major victory. For the first time, Ferrari’s net profit exceeded 1 billion Euros in 2023, representing a 34 percent increase over last year. This means that 2023 was one of Ferrari’s most successful years ever as a manufacturer, and the recent success has the brand looking very optimistically at the future as it begins to execute its 2024 plans. Vehicle shipments, totaling 13,663 throughout the year, increased by 3.3 percent compared to last year, and that increase is credited to deliveries increasing for the Purosangue, 296, and SF90, and deliveries of the Roma Spider commencing in the fourth quarter of the year. With 11 total combustion engine-powered models, and four hybrid powered models, the distribution of deliveries between the two was 56 to 44 percent respectively, which points to an increasing popularity of Ferrari’s powerful, innovative hybrid offerings. The engines branch of Ferrari’s business, however, took a downturn due to the expiration of its contract with Maserati at the end of last year. Meanwhile, as a manufacturer with a heritage in and dedication to racing, Formula 1 represented one of the most successful aspects of the Ferrari business, with Formula 1 among a group of Ferrari’s efforts that contributed to 81 million Euros of revenues. With plenty of wind in its sails due to its successful 2023 results, the Prancing Horse is looking forward to even more success in the future. View All Ferraris For Sale

Ferrari's New 2024 F1 Car Will Be Called The SF-24

Ferrari gives a name to its fighter for Formula 1’s winning title this season. Ferrari is one of the most important names in Formula 1 history, and in racing history as a whole. As one of the most established teams in the incredibly prestigious and exclusive racing series, Scuderia Ferrari is revered for its incredible racing legacy. Each year, the new F1 car and livery from Ferrari are some of the most anticipated announcements of the upcoming Formula 1 season, and for 2024, Ferrari has finally shed light on the name of its new F1 car. It’s the SF-24, and while it’s a new official announcement, it isn’t very surprising to most fans of Scuderia Ferrari. That’s because the pattern of naming Ferrari’s F1 car “SF,” which stands for “Scuderia Ferrari,” followed by the number of the current year is one that Ferrari has held for a number of years, dating back nearly a decade to 2015, with the SF15-T. However, there has been an exception, and that was in 2022, when Ferrari celebrated its 75th anniversary as a manufacturer. That year, the F1 car was named the F1-75. With the name of the new SF-24 officially announced, Ferrari has set the date for its full reveal as the 13th of February, and fans of the Prancing Horse’s most ambitious racing effort are sure to be counting down the days until that reveal happens and the SF-24 is shown to the world in its full glory.

Ferrari Reveals A New 250 LM-Inspired Tailor Made 296 GTB

This Tailor Made spec pays homage to the 296 GTB’s historical inspiration. The Ferrari 296 GTB is definitely futuristic. Being the first V6-powered supercar to wear Ferrari’s Prancing Horse badge, and boasting a hybrid system that comes together to make the car incredibly powerful, it sits at the cutting edge of performance-oriented innovation and engineering, and while its design aligns with that sense of futurism, Ferrari’s 75-year history, long-standing pedigree, and archive of legendary classics served as inspiration for the design of the supercar, as well. Namely, the Ferrari 250 LM played a major part in informing the silhouette and many of the design motifs of the new Ferrari 296 GTB, and this new Tailor Made example of the 296 GTB highlights that quality, with an ultra-exclusive configuration that pays homage to the very car that inspired it. The historic racing 250 LM was the inspiration for this new car, and as such, it features an exterior in red with a large racing stripe in Blu Flugplatz. Inside, both broad strokes and subtle details help bring the history of the 250 LM to life in the new supercar, from the red stitching seen on the steering wheel, to the bright swathes of Red Jeans Aunde fabric that upholster the seats. With a historic configuration, and the same historic inspiration for its design, this exclusive Tailor Made Ferrari 296 GTB is the culmination of Ferrari’s long and proud history brought to life.
