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 of Central Florida Shows Off A Rosso Corsa Daytona SP3

Born from the racetrack, Ferrari’s legacy as a motorsport icon has always influenced the road-going cars that roll off its production line, connecting owners to something bigger than a badge. And while every Ferrari carries that link, the marque’s ultra-exclusive Icona Series dives even deeper, using timeless 1950s and 1960s racing designs as inspiration for modern marvels like the Daytona SP3. The team at Ferrari of Central Florida recently welcomed a piece of Maranello’s history to its dealership, showcasing one of the 600 Ferrari Daytona SP3s in the world. Directly linked to history and to some of the early racing icons that came before it, this specific Daytona SP3 pays homage to its lineage with Ferrari’s classic Rosso Corsa finish, a color that translates to “Racing Red” and dates back to the first 125 S built in 1947. Other classic elements find their way into the build, including hand-painted Scuderia shields and a rear engine cover painted in the brand’s historic Argento Nürburgring shade.A close glimpse reveals that the interior is layered in vibrant blue alcantara, which may seem like a modern touch, but actually pulls from other idols like the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. The cabin of a Daytona SP3 is like the perfect blend of past and present, keeping things simple and driver-centric while incorporating state-of-the-art tech and materials to make the driving experience as close to an actual race car as possible. The most impressive aspect of the Daytona SP3 sits at the rear, where Ferrari’s monstrous 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 sends 829 horsepower and 514 lb-ft of torque to its rear wheels. With few to zero public roads to experience the full capabilities of one of Ferrari’s most powerful hypercars, a race track is where drivers will be able to test its 2.85-second 0 to 60mph time and 211mph top speed. Making a cameo appearance at the dealership for all to see, you have to wonder what else Ferrari of Central Florida has up its sleeves, or inside its garages.

Carlos Sainz Bids Farewell To Ferrari With The Delivery O...

Along with holding the title of a professional Formula 1 racing driver, the perks of driving for Scuderia Ferrari HP F1 extend far beyond the race track. For Carlos Sainz Jr., those extras take shape as invitations to configure rare and exclusive Ferrari models like the limited-edition 812 Competizione. And while the 30-year-old Spanish driver will be competing with Williams Racing for the 2025 F1 season, Ferrari perfectly bid its farewell with the delivery of his brand-new $3 million Daytona SP3 supercar. The team at Ferrari Scuderia Monte-Carlo just took to its Instagram to pull the covers on Carlos' Daytona SP3, unveiling a sinister spec that perfectly matches his 812 Competizione. Finished in a stealthy matte black with subtle red pinstriping, only a handful of hidden easter eggs would lead you to believe that it belongs to Sainz. Those custom factory touches, courtesy of Ferrari's Tailor Made division, include Calrlos' #55 on the lower side skirt and his famous, hand-painted 'Smooth Operator' insignia on both the engine intake covers and center console. Inside, the Daytona SP3's all-black carbon cabin is contrasted with red Alcantara sport bucket seats and black racing harnesses. The Ferrari Daytona SP3 packs a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 engine, borrowed from the 812 Competizione but tuned for even power. It delivers a jaw-dropping 829 horsepower and 514 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful road-going Ferraris ever. Paired with a quick-shifting 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the SP3 sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.85 seconds, with a top speed of 211 mph.

Ferrari Collector David Lee Takes Delivery Of His Green C...

What a way to celebrate a birthday! Amongst all of the fuel-driven Italian prancing horses engineered by Ferrari, a select few stand out as part of an ultra-exclusive series that carry on the legacy of Enzo and the brand's historic involvement in motorsports. Available only to hand-selected Ferrari owners, models like the LaFerrari, Monza SP1/SP2, and Daytona SP3 often live in impressive collections alongside other Italian icons. It's an experience that brand ambassador Ferrari Collector David Lee knows all too well, showcasing Ferrari's Big Five (288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari) in both red and yellow. David recently documented the delivery of his brand-new Ferrari Daytona SP3, which coincidentally happened on his birthday. In the parking lot of Hing Wa Lee Jewelers, where his car collection resides below in an underground garage, the transport truck opens to reveal the Daytona SP3 finished in an exposed green carbon finish. The eye-catching spec shies away from David's traditional choice of red or yellow, but still falls in line with his 812 Competizione and Roma Spider. A yellow gold, green-dial Rolex 'John Mayer' Daytona even made a subtle appearance in a sea of green. In addition to matte gold wheels, a matching gold SP3 racing stripe was added as a last-minute option and tied together the entire design. While we're anticipating a full review and first drive, a sneak peek into the interior shows off a light canvas-textured cabin. With an 840 horsepower V12 that screams up to 9,500 rpm, it's more than safe to say that Ferrari Collector David Lee will be enjoying Daytona SP3 ownership.

Watch Ferrari Explore Charles Leclerc's Bespoke Daytona S...

Inspired by the historic race cars that dominated the 24 Hours of Daytona race in the 1960s, the Ferrari Daytona SP3 is one of the most exclusive Prancing Horse creations today. It features a stunning retro-inspired yet futuristic design, a powerful mid-mounted V12 engine, and a driving experience that is instantly recognizable as that of a Ferrari masterpiece. Part of Ferrari’s Icona series, the Daytona SP3 is highly exclusive and made to stand out even among other supercars. However, one example of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 is even more special, as it belongs to Scuderia Ferrari F1 driver Charles Leclerc, who has customized it to be one of the most unique examples of the special supercar yet. In a new video published on Ferrari’s YouTube channel, the Prancing Horse explores what makes Leclerc’s supercar so special. It was customized in conjunction with Charles Leclerc himself and Ferrari’s Tailor Made team. A matte black color scheme gives the supercar a sleek, somewhat understated look. However, the configuration was chosen to echo the look of one of Leclerc’s racing helmets, which combined matte black with red and white central stripe detail, the colors of Monaco’s flag, where Leclerc hails from. The car is configured in the same manner, with matte black contrasted by a red and white central stripe. In addition, some of the beautiful carbon fiber details in the bodywork of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 are subtly highlighted with thin red stripes along the edges. A large Ferrari Scuderia shield is painted on the side, and Leclerc’s #16 racing number highlights Ferrari’s motorsport heritage and Leclerc’s contribution to the longstanding legacy. The interior features a contrasting look, with bright red upholstery. White contrast piping forms the look of the Monegasque flag yet again in the bespoke interior. The flag also features a small detail on the car's paddle shifters. Another bespoke detail is a small center plaque emblazoned with Leclerc’s racing number and signature. Realizing a dream both as a racing driver for Ferrari and an owner of one of the brand’s most prestigious supercars, Charles Leclerc’s bespoke Ferrari Daytona SP3 is a special occasion and a milestone of an incredible racing career.

Watch Shmee150 Drive The 1-of-559 Ferrari Daytona SP3

Shmee experiences one of the most special Ferraris yet. Ferrari’s Icona series is the Prancing Horse’s chance to show off the pinnacle of its design and engineering abilities, with the barchetta-style Monza SP1 and SP2, which pay homage to classic Ferrari race cars, and now the Daytona SP3, the first mid-mounted V12 in a Ferrari since the legendary LaFerrari hybrid hypercar. With only 599 examples of the ultra-exclusive, historically-inspired Daytona SP3 being made, it’s one of the most special and exclusive creations Ferrari has revealed yet, and popular automotive YouTube personality and prolific car collector Shmee150 has finally gotten the chance to get behind the wheel of it in a new video. The Daytona’s 6.5-liter, naturally aspirated V12 engine produces an incredible 829 horsepower, making it the most powerful Ferrari engine yet, and also the first non-hybrid mid-mounted V12 in a Ferrari since the Enzo. Its design references 1960s race cars, which forged an important legacy with their sweeping victories at the eponymous Daytona race track. The example that Shmee got the opportunity to drive is finished in Rosso Portofino with a Bianco Avus stripe livery, with a strikingly contrasting Blu Elettrico Alcantara interior with red embroidery. While the V12 engine is becoming rarer in the automotive world as smaller engines with hybrid assistance are becoming powerful, innovative, and formidable in their own right, Shmee remarks on the unparalleled excellence of the V12 engine, with its naturally aspirated response, visceral power, and absolutely thrilling sound, especially when it’s high in the rev range. With a detailed walkaround and a dream cruise around Denmark’s country roads, any Ferrari enthusiast will want to see what Shmee150’s time behind the wheel of the Ferrari Daytona SP3 was like.
