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.

NOVITEC Reveals Customizations For Ferrari 12Cilindri

Ferrari’s new V12 grand tourer gets the NOVITEC treatment. For Ferrari, the 12Cilindri marks a new era. Known for the excellence and heritage of its long line of front-engine V12-powered grand tourers, the new 12Cilindri is the latest evolution of one of the most integral parts of the Ferrari canon. With a design inspired by past icons like the Ferrair 365 GTB, the 12Cilindri is an ode to the V12 engine and its central place in Ferrari’s storied and celebrated legacy, and it was just elevated thanks to a new series of modifications from NOVITEC. NOVITEC is known for its ability to tune, transform, and customize performance, exotic, and supercars from manufacturers like Ferrari, and the 12Cilindri is the latest to join NOVITEC’s portfolio. Complete with custom wheels, a custom exhaust, and revised visuals and aerodynamics, NOVITEC’s take on the Ferrari 12Cilindri is a beautiful refinement of an already incredible performance machine. Carbon fiber aerodynamic components throughout not only optimize the aerodynamic efficiency of the Ferrari 12Cilindri, but they also give the car a unique look with NOVITEC’s signature edge. Meanwhile, custom staggered 21 and 22-inch wheels further enhance the looks of the grand tourer. NOVITEC also lowered the suspension of the 12Cilindri thanks to sports springs, and the custom exhaust system that enhances the sound and performance of the 12Cilindri is available with black or gold-plated tailpipes. Performance upgrades for the 6.5-liter V12 engine that powers the 12Cilindri are still in the development stage from NOVITEC, but even with the existing upgrades, NOVITEC has already demonstrated its ability to dramatically transform and customize Ferrari’s latest front-mounted V12 grand tourer, with unique looks and an enhanced exhaust in NOVITEC’s signature style.

Two luxury sports cars are displayed on a white platform at an outdoor event, as several people admire the Touring Superleggera Debuts New Veloce12 “Barchetta” Restomod Based On The Ferrari 550 Maranello.

By Michael Van Runkle – August 15, 2025

Touring Superleggera Debuts New Veloce12 “Barchetta” Rest...

After last year’s successful debut of the Veloce12 at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, legacy Italian coachbuilder Touring Superleggera plans to deliver the first 5 customer units by the end of 2025. Now, one year later, the Veloce12’s droptop sibling arrives to capture more hearts and minds of fans who adore the updated take on the classic Ferrari 550 Maranello. Ahead of the public debut, I visited with the car and Touring’s CEO, Markus Tellenbach, to learn more about what goes into transforming a quintessential Prancing Pony into a thoroughly modernized convertible. If anything, the Veloce12 “Barchetta” only enhances the refined restomod job that made the hardtop so eye-catching. Tellenbach compared the original coupe to a “tuxedo on wheels” but likens the new al fresco version to “an Hermes bag on wheels.” The Barchetta nomenclature, meanwhile, harks back to a (potentially apocryphal) story he told me about the Ferrari 166’s origins back in 1948. Apparently, Enzo Ferrari himself trusted Touring to design and build the 166, and at the Turin Motor Show that year, someone described the shape’s wide waterline and hull-like curves as reminding them of a small boat. Hence, “Barchetta” in Italian, which directly translates to “little boat” in English. The stitched upholstery draped with rich leathers plays along with the Hermes aesthetic, with hints of a nautical theme, too. Similar details from the Veloce12 carry over, including the gated six-speed manual transmission and textural metal switchgear, though in this case finished in an enigmatic rose gold that my eyes never quite adjusted to on a misty Monterey afternoon. Such weather doesn’t quite do the Barchetta justice, though. “Following the success of the Veloce12,” Tellenbach laughed, “We were inclined and encouraged to try a variation that embraces the sun and that embraces the open skies, that’s the perfect companion for a joy ride through Tuscany.” Converting the 550 Maranello into a modern droptop required re-engineering the rear of the passenger compartment to both enhance rigidity and safety. In performance terms, the Veloce12 Barchetta’s stats on paper only improve upon the base 550 Maranello’s 5.5-liter V12 ever so slightly, with a gain of about 30 horsepower, mostly coming thanks to freer-flowing intake and exhaust that results in a rated output of 503 horsepower. Almost more importantly, that exhaust can open up its valving and transform from a more restrained and classy tone in the standard setting to a barking mad screamer. Tellenbach only winked a few times while revving the engine in the quiet Monterey neighborhood, admonishing that unleashing the full roar is definitely “up to the driver’s discretion.” Other subtle differences stand out under closer comparison with the original Veloce12. The new headlight lenses help to reduce the number of insects caught while driving at higher speeds, while the functional hood intake improves cooling to the engine bay via venting at the windshield cowl. And the gas cap features an imprint of the hood scoop’s design, in a nice echo of form that perfectly encapsulates the Touring restomod ethos. “We love the Maranello and we respect the Maranello,” Tellenbach concluded. “We feel it's a great car of the '90s; however, expectations today are for more contemporary performance, to make best use of modern materials, and what allowed the designers to create the flowing lines on the body was not possible in the '90s due to production technology.” The car I visited already features the final body molds—which, of note, can come in full exposed carbon-fiber in addition to the satin bronzed grey of the show car. Touring plans to build just 15 Barchettas, in addition to the 30 hardtops slated for production. View All Ferraris For Sale Images Source: Michael Van Runkle

NOVITEC Announces New Customizations For The Ferrari SF90...

Ferrari’s racing-ready supercar gets even more intense thanks to NOVITEC. The “XX” suffix is shared by a select few vehicles from Ferrari’s lineup, and they are all intensely track-oriented, high-performance creations. While most of Ferrari’s XX cars are only allowed to be driven on the track, the latest addition to Ferrari’s XX family is an exception: the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale and the Ferrari SF90 XX Spider. As Ferrari’s first street-legal XX cars, the SF90 XX takes the already powerful and innovative hybrid Ferrari SF90 supercar, and makes it even more intense, with aggressive aerodynamics and increased power. With limited production numbers, it’s also one of the most exclusive recent models from Ferrari. However, NOVITEC, a firm known for its customization exploits, simply refuses to leave well enough alone, revealing new customizations for the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale that make the track-oriented supercar an even more formidable performance machine. Thanks to a high-performance exhaust system, the sound experience of the SF90 XX Stradale is enhanced, and the power is increased by an impressive 30 horsepower, bringing the total to 1,060 horsepower, and NOVITEC has also given the supercar a new set of wheels with custom sports suspension. While NOVITEC didn’t change the advanced aerodynamics that the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale already sports, the customization includes custom carbon fiber covers for the side mirrors, and clients are able to customize the interior thanks to NOVITEC’s variety of colors, materials, and finishes. If one of the most exclusive and capable Ferrari creations simply isn’t enough to turn heads, it certainly will when given its new NOVITEC makeover.

NOVITEC Reveals New Ferrari Purosangue Customizations

NOVITEC transforms a different kind of Ferrari. Ferrari is, of course, known for its racing efforts, its sports cars, and its highly-exclusive supercars that are all collector-worthy masterpieces, but one recent creation from the Prancing Horse manufacturer has transformed its lineup significantly, and that is the Purosangue, Ferrari’s first “four-door four-seater,” which significantly resembles an SUV, even though Ferrari doesn’t refer to it as that. However, the Purosangue, despite adopting a different look, silhouette, and body style than any other Ferrari before it, is a Ferrari through and through, with the brand’s signature luxury features, stunning style, uncompromising performance-oriented engineering, and a brawny V12 engine nestled underneath the hood. NOVITEC, a firm known for its tuning and customization exploits, has created new customizations for the Ferrari Purosangue, enhancing its looks and its performance alike. These include a body kit, with various exterior portions revised in stunning carbon fiber, custom forged wheels, modifications to the suspensions, aerodynamic tweaks, and revised exhaust system in both black and gold, which enhances the sound experience of the V12 engine, and also teams up with other tweaks for improved performance, as well. With various customizations and stunning engineering and craftsmanship, NOVITEC makes the Ferrari Purosangue even more special. View All Ferrari Purosangues For Sale Image Source: NOVITEC

In addition, Mansory gave the Pugnator a custom set of wheels, newly designed and measuring 22 and 23 inches. Mansory didn’t stop there, completely customizing the interior of the Ferrari Purosangue to create the Pugnator, as well. Shown in white, Mansory offers complete freedom in customization, using luxurious materials and techniques like exposed carbon fiber, fine leather, contrast stitching, quilting, and more. To complete the conversion from Purosangue to Pugnator, Mansory made the Ferrari truly its own by improving its performance. Enhancing the capabilities of its 6.5-liter V12 engine, Mansory gave the Pugnator a new 4-flow sports exhaust system with flap control, bringing the total power to 755 hp and 538 lb/ft, which improves on the standard Purosangue by 40 horsepower. If you’re looking for a super SUV that reaches the highest levels of exclusivity and eye-catching design in the automotive industry today, the Mansory Pugnator, a new complete conversion of the Ferrari Purosangue, might be the “FUV” for you.
