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.

This Ferrari Enzo Is Driving 3,200 Miles To Monterey Car Week For A Cause

Of all the cars I've admired and dreamed of owning, since flipping through the pages of a duPont REGISTRY as an 11-year-old kid, the Ferrari Enzo has and will always hold the number one spot. Looking back, it's probably the car that started it all for me. That story rings true for many other enthusiasts, and with the current Enzo market soaring like never before, the early-2000s Ferrari we’ve all grown to love has crossed over into the eight-figure, collector-car category. And while some owners are hanging up the keys to protect their investment, others like Barry Lundgren (@sharetheenzo) are enjoying them just as Enzo himself would’ve wanted, racking up miles and making memories behind the wheel. An incredible follow on Instagram, Larry’s page is dedicated to the encounters and experiences sparked by the Enzo, which has now covered more than 36,000 miles across the U.S. Its presence alone attracts the attention of everyone, from the avid enthusiast who could list off every single spec to an everyday driver just curious about what they’re looking at. No stranger to road tripping one of Ferrari’s Big Five, Larry and Julien Lundgren have set off on an epic journey to join Luxury Rally Club’s Rally To Monterey Car Week, driving coast to coast to raise money for the Cam Neely Foundation. The Cam Neely Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports cancer treatment and research efforts while providing a convenient, comfortable place to live, relax, and talk to others while undergoing treatment at Tufts Medical Center.Before setting off on its 3,200-mile journey from Boston, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles, California, a drive that takes more than 55 hours, the Enzo stopped by Addictive Autosport in Walpole for a quick color change. Members of the AA team worked for 32 hours straight to completely wrap and transform its Rosso Corsa exterior into something that resembles Argento Nürburgring. Now, more than halfway through the trip, Larry and Julien have already ventured out of the East Coast, through the Midwest, and are within a half day of driving left to their destination, already surpassing $14,000 in donations on GoFundMe. Along the way, those who have stopped to see the Enzo, have been asked to sign the wrap, hoping to cover every surface with names by the end of Car Week.If you’re looking to stay updated with where the Enzo is, follow @sharetheenzo on Instagram, with more to come once they arrive at Monterey Car Week with Luxury Rally Club. And for those who are lucky enough to find their way onto California’s Northern Peninsula in the coming weeks, keep an eye and an ear out for the famous Ferrari Enzo.

Enzo vs LaFerrari: Which Halo Ferrari Would You Take?

Ask ten Ferrari people this question and you'll start an argument that lasts all afternoon. The Enzo or the LaFerrari. Both were the best car Ferrari knew how to build at the time, but they came from two different worlds, and which one you'd pick says a lot about what you actually want out of a Ferrari. Start with the Enzo, because it really is the older soul here. It landed in 2002 wearing the founder's name, and Ferrari basically took its Formula 1 program and built a road car around it without sanding off the edges. The engine is the whole point: a 6.0-liter V12, no turbos, no electric help, just 660 hp arriving at a frankly absurd 7,800 rpm. At the time nobody had ever put a more powerful naturally aspirated engine in a road car. Pininfarina handled the body, and the result still looks like it arrived from somewhere ahead of us. It hit 60 mph in about 3.3 seconds and ran to 218 mph, though numbers were never the point. Ferrari planned 349, demand pushed it to 399, and a final 400th car was built and donated to charity. Michael Schumacher even helped dial it in at Fiorano, which tells you how seriously Maranello took it. The Enzo asks a lot of whoever's driving, and that's exactly why people who own one tend to never let go. Then came 2013, and the LaFerrari changed the conversation completely. This model was Ferrari deciding the future ran through electrification, and proving the idea at the very top of the range first. It showed up at Geneva as the company's first hybrid production car, pairing a 6.3-liter V12 with the F1-derived HY-KERS system for a combined 950 horsepower. That made it the most powerful road Ferrari ever. The performance is almost silly: 0 to 60 mph in under three seconds, comfortably quicker than the Enzo, with active aero quietly working away to keep the thing glued down. It was also the moment Ferrari stopped sending its halo car to Pininfarina, designing it in-house under Flavio Manzoni instead. They built 499 coupes, added the open-top Aperta later, and a lot of the clever tech inside it eventually found its way into ordinary Ferraris. 2003 Ferrari Enzo | 1 of 1 in Rosso Dino, 3,700 Miles | Bid Now On duPont REGISTRY Live So which one? Honestly it comes down to temperament. The Enzo is the last of the old guard, the final great naturally aspirated halo car before the electric era arrived, and there's a purity to it that some collectors will always chase. The LaFerrari is Ferrari looking forward and getting it right, showing that a hybrid could be more exciting rather than less. One closes out the lineage that runs back through the F40 and F50. The other opens everything that followed. Both have only gotten more desirable as people figure out what they were watching happen. There's no wrong pick, just a question of which Ferrari you'd actually want to live with. The raw, mechanical Enzo, or the electrified LaFerrari that rewrote the playbook? Head over to FerrariChat.com to see where the owners and enthusiasts land, and let us know which one you'd be parking in your garage. Visit FerrariChat.com

1-of-9 Argento Nürburgring Ferrari Enzo Heads to Auction

Once revered as an exclusive, limited-production supercar, like most cars nowadays, the Ferrari Enzo is making its much-deserved second wind as the collector car world has witnessed some truly jaw-dropping sales results. Less than a year ago, examples traded ownership publicly in the range of $4 million to $5 million, which seems like a deal in today’s market. What caught fire like a match strike with The Bachman Collection’s $16.5 million example in Kissimmee, and later solidified with an $11.5 million sale at Amelia Island, the Ferrari Enzo has officially taken off as an eight-figure collector car, and there’s no turning back. RM Sotheby’s is looking to make headlines as well with this 2004 Ferrari Enzo at its upcoming Monaco 2026 auction event. Finished in Argento Nürburgring over a classic Rosso leather interior, this particular Enzo resides in unicorn territory, even among an already limited 500 example production run. Just nine examples left the Ferrari factory in this color, and only five paired it with Rosso inside, making it one of the most visually distinctive specs out there. More notably, it remains the only silver Enzo delivered new to the United Kingdom, originally through Maranello Concessionaires Ltd before later relocating to Europe. With just over 19,000 kilometers on the odometer, it strikes that sweet spot collectors tend to appreciate, driven enough to be enjoyed, yet preserved.Beyond the spec sheet, it’s the story and upkeep that elevate this car. Backed by Ferrari Classiche certification and accompanied by its coveted “Red Book,” the Enzo has seen consistent attention from marque specialists, including Garage Zenith, Charles Pozzi, and DK Engineering. Most recently serviced in January 2026 by Lecoq Paris, the car received fresh maintenance and a new set of Pirelli tires, supporting its ready-to-drive appeal.Developed at a time when Ferrari was channeling its Formula 1 program directly into its road cars, it introduced carbon fiber construction, active aerodynamics, and a screaming 6.0L V12 producing 660 horsepower, all in a package that could push past 217 mph. Named after Enzo Ferrari, it carries the weight of legends like the 288 GTO, F40, and F50. Today, as the market continues to reveal what these cars are truly worth, rare, well-documented examples like this Argento Nürburgring Enzo are exactly the kind that keep pushing the ceiling higher.

Has The Ferrari Enzo Become The 'New' 250 GTO?

There are certain cars that hardwire themselves into your brain forever, and for 12-year-old me, that moment came in October 2002, buying an issue of duPont REGISTRY with the Ferrari Enzo staring back from the cover, unlike anything I had ever seen. Long before auction results and market analytics mattered, the Enzo represented the absolute pinnacle, Ferrari’s most extreme road car, named after the man himself, and unattainable in every sense of the word. Fast-forward more than two decades, and recent record-breaking auction results have brought up a question that once felt unimaginable: has the Ferrari Enzo now become the modern-era equivalent of the Ferrari 250 GTO? To understand why that question even exists, you have to look at what the Ferrari 250 GTO represents. Built in the early 1960s with motorsport success worked into every aluminum body panel, the GTO wasn’t designed to be pretty or collectible, but it most definitely became both over time. With just 36 examples produced, racing history at Le Mans and beyond, and a reputation as the ultimate analog Ferrari, the 250 GTO evolved into the final boss of the collector car world. Values climbed steadily for decades before exploding into a whole new stratosphere altogether, with private sales reportedly north of $70 million. At that point, the GTO became an automotive artifact, a blue-chip asset that exists outside the normal collector market. The Enzo debuted in 2002 as Ferrari’s first true road-going supercar with Formula 1 technology, complete with a carbon fiber construction, active aero, and a screaming naturally aspirated V12 paired to a single-clutch automatic transmission. Built in 399 examples, the Enzo was never meant to race, but it carried the same “no compromises” philosophy as the GTO, just reimagined for a new century. For years, the Enzo lived in a strange middle ground, desirable, yes, but often overshadowed by newer hypercars and seen as too modern to be truly historic. That thought has changed dramatically. As time goes on, the kids who grew up idolizing early-2000s supercars are no longer just dreamers; they’re successful collectors. The same nostalgia cycle that once elevated the 250 GTO is now working in the Enzo’s favor. For this generation, the Enzo is the Ferrari. It represents the last of an era before hybridization, touchscreen interiors, and driver assists dulled the experience. The rawness, the sound, the difficulty, it all feels more special now than it did 15 years ago. In many ways, the Enzo has become the emotional pinnacle Ferrari for today’s collectors, just as the GTO was for those who came before them. That makes the recent Mecum Auctions sale from The Bachman Collection feel less like an abnormality and more like a warning shot. While the one-of-one Bianco Speciale Ferrari 250 GTO sold for a deal at $38,500,000, this one-off Enzo’s history, condition, low mileage, and originality elevated it into a different category altogether. While not every Enzo will follow that trajectory, the sale marks a clear turning point. We’ve all just watched history happen in real time, and the Ferrari Enzo market now has serious eyes on it. Whether it becomes the “new” 250 GTO may still be up for debate, but one thing is clear: the Enzo will always shine as a cornerstone of Ferrari collecting.

RM Sotheby’s To Offer the Only White Enzo Extant

Presented by RM Sotheby's. From his earliest days leading the Grand Prix titans of the Alfa Romeo stable to the final, game-changing supercar launched shortly before his death, Enzo Ferrari was resolutely committed throughout his life to creating world-beating machines. Whether sitting at the pinnacle of motorsport or within the pages of magazine centerfolds, cars that wore the Prancing Horse represented the very cutting edge of technology and style. Fitting, then, that the car built in his honor—the Ferrari Enzo—would exemplify everything that had seen the Maranello marque grow from a boutique producer of sports racers to one of the most coveted and desirable badges in automotive history. Like the great halo models that came before, the Enzo was created to push the envelope of road car performance, utilizing technology derived from the top-flight of motorsport and otherworldly styling from long-term partner Pininfarina. Constructed from lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum, the Enzo’s advanced chassis was clothed in composite bodywork styled by the carrozzeria’s Ken Okuyama and shaped by wind-tunnel testing. Influenced by the firm’s leading grand prix cars, the rakish nose struck a tone carried over to the rest of the coachwork, with subtle ground-effect aerodynamics and a small active spoiler in place of the F50’s outrageous rear wing. At the Enzo’s heart lay an all-new, mid-mounted, 5,998 cc V-12 engine capable of producing a staggering 651 horsepower— greater than the output of any of its rivals. But it wasn’t just the headline power figure that impressed, but how it was delivered, with an addictive combination of low-down torque, the aggressive snap of acceleration with each shift of the paddles, and the dizzying howl as the needle approaches the 8200 rpm redline. Like its top-of-the-range predecessors, the Enzo set a new benchmark for performance and design, and, due to a production run that numbered just 400 examples, has since become one of the preeminent collector cars of the modern era. Any Ferrari Enzo is a rare jewel befitting of any serious supercar collection, but chassis 133023 is an even more special machine. One of fewer than 20 “Extracampionario” cars finished in a non-standard color—a privilege reserved exclusively for Maranello’s most valued and discerning clients—this remarkable Enzo is the only example of that cohort—and indeed the full production run—to be specified in the shade of Bianco Avus. This unique Ferrari Enzo was completed on 22 May 2003, finished in the striking combination of Bianco Avus over Nero leather interior, specified with Rosso Corsa instruments and extra-large carbon-fiber bucket seats complete with rare 3D black cloth inserts. The car first made its way via Ferrari Central Europe in Wiesbaden, Germany to Symbol Automobiles in Matran, Switzerland, where it was sold to its first owner, a very private German-Swiss billionaire. Used minimally during those early years, the car spent much of its time drawing crowds while dressing the window of the boutique supplying dealer in Matran, before being exported to Hong Kong in 2011. Unregistered during its time in Hong Kong due to its left-hand-drive configuration, the Enzo served as a cornerstone of a significant Ferrari collection in recent years, and its odometer reading stands at just 9,600 km at the time of cataloging. As with many of the finest examples of the Prancing Horse, this phenomenal Enzo is recognized by Maranello with Ferrari Classiche certification awarded in November 2012. Further, the car has just received a full annual service at the Ferrari authorized dealer in Hong Kong. Offered exclusively by RM Sotheby’s and only being made available to the most discerning of clients, this offering represents an unrepeatable opportunity to take ownership of a legend: the one and only white Enzo. This rare Ferrari will be offered without reserve on RMSothebys.com in a unique private auction taking place 29-30 June 2022. Contact an RM Car Specialist with questions regarding this vehicle.

Recent Sale of Ultra-Rare Ferrari Enzo Shows Strong Inter...

As far as modern-day hypercars go, there is no denying that the 2003 Ferrari Enzo is one of the most important. From its F1-inspired nose to its naturally-aspirated 6.0-liter V12, everything about this Italian hypercar is built to perform. While only 400 Enzos left the production line between 2002 and 2004, only a handful featured the now-infamous Rosso Scuderia exterior finish, the color of choice for some of Ferrari’s most famous F1 cars. Add in the fact that this particular car has covered only 353 miles since new and you get a recipe for a record-breaking sale. Image: Legendary Motorcar Company / Zach Brehl Image: Legendary Motorcar Company / Zach Brehl While the Ferrari Enzo’s formula might seem quite common when compared to other modern hypercars, it was revolutionary back in the early 2000s. It all starts with the car's F1-derived styling, which is clearly seen thanks to the triangular nose upfront. However, the Enzo went beyond what F1 regulations allowed at the time by adding components such as active aero, and traction control. Powering this hypercar is a naturally-aspirated 6.0-liter V12 developing 651 hp and 485 lb-ft of torque. All of that power went to the rear wheels exclusively via a six-speed automated manual transmission called the F1. Thanks to its carbon-fiber body, the Enzo weighed in at just 3,260 lb with a footprint of 185 in long, 80 in wide, and 45 in tall, a sizable increase over its predecessor, the F50. " width="680"> While these elements already make the Ferrari Enzo quite desirable, the particular car we’re discussing today goes a step further. That’s because it features a unique Rosso Scuderia exterior finish, making it one of few to ever leave Maranello wearing this color. At the time of writing it is believed that this is the only Enzo to feature this color currently residing in the U.S. Other owners of this unique combination include Michael Schumacher, Jean Todt, and even Pope John Francis II. In terms of this exact car, a recent private sale saw it trade hands for $3.8 million, setting a record for the Enzo market. This enormous value was also driven by the fact that with 353 miles on the clock, it is one of the lowest-mileage Enzos left in the world.

However, it is worth noting that it was the last example ever produced, previously owned by Pope John Paul II. As a result, this recent sale at $3.8 million sets the tone as one of the most expensive Enzos ever sold from the original 399-unit production run. As these cars continue to age, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find these ultra-low-mileage examples. As a result, we shouldn’t be surprised if this steep appreciation trend continues.
