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.

Tailor Made Rosso Corsa 2022 Ferrari Monza SP1 With Deliv...

There's no doubt that every Ferrari proves to be special in its own way, whether it be the everyday capabilities of the V12-powered Pursangue FUV or the extreme hybrid performance of the 986-horsepower SF90 Stradale. But among all the supercars and hypercars that roll off Ferrari's Maranello production line, the Icona Series models carry an extra touch of significance as they pay homage to the brand's most historic examples, with models like the Monza SP1 and SP2, and the Daytona SP3. And while any car collector would jump at the opportunity to buy one of these four-wheel legends straight from Ferrari, production allocations are given to hand-chosen clients with recognized collections and a love for the brand. The team at Carrio Motor Cars is proud to offer the opportunity to join an exclusive group of owners by showcasing this 2022 Ferrari Monza SP1 as part of its inventory for sale on duPont REGISTRY. Inspired by Ferrari's 1950s race-bred roadsters like the 750 Monza, 250 Testarossa, and 166 MM, the Monza SP1 and its two-seater counterpart, the Monza SP2, debuted in 2018 with a combined total of 499 examples. This Monza SP1 sports a heritage-inspired configuration courtesy of Ferrari Tailor Made New York, with a vibrant Rosso Corsa base coat and a Livrea Bianco Avus racing stripe that runs down the car's center. Its elongated front-end design sits aggressively on 21-inch forged diamond-polished wheels. And for the owner looking to spend some time on the track with their new Ferrari Monza SP1, the car comes complete with the factory Racing Driver Set (helmets, gloves, etc.) The Monza SP1's cabin is partially exposed through its open-top, windshield-less design. It comes optioned with a large GT2 monocoque racing seat layered in Peccary Beige leather with matching Rosso Corsa racing harnesses. The single-seater cockpit is reminiscent of that of a modern-day fighter jet, completely surrounded by lightweight carbon and a slew of controls that unlock the true performance potential of the Ferrari Monza SP1. The Ferrari Monza SP1's jaw-dropping design is backed up by serious Italian performance. Under the hood sits a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 that unleashes 809 horsepower and revs past 8,500 rpm with an exhaust note straight out of Ferrari's racing heritage. With all that power sent to the rear wheels through a lightning-quick 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the SP1 sprints from 0-62 mph in just 2.9 seconds and pushes on to a top speed over 186 mph.

Mecum To Auction Cannonball Run Record-Breaking Ferrari D...

This charming classic also has its own epic story. While it was a popular and groundbreaking model for Ferrari in its time, and one of the most cherished classics from the legendary manufacturer today, the Ferrari Dino 246 was ahead of its time in a way. Rather than being sold as a Ferrari, it was sold under the Dino marque with a mid-mounted V6 rather than Ferrari’s more common V8 and 12-cylinder engines. However, Ferrari’s hybrid 296 supercar uses a V6 today, and so does the most powerful production roadgoing Ferrari yet, the new Ferrari F80. The Dino was an important milestone in Ferrari’s history, not only for its engine but also for the fact that it was the first production model from Ferrari to have a mid-mounted engine. Because of its impact and influence, it’s one of the most desirable classic Ferraris on the market, and one that will be crossing the block at this year’s Mecum Auctions Monterey 2025 Auction. However, this 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS isn’t just any Dino, it’s a special example that has an incredible story behind it. It was driven during the 1975 Cannonball Run by Jack May, who set a record by driving from New York to Los Angeles at an average speed of 83 mph in just 35 hours and 53 minutes alongside Rick Cline. Consigned by Jack May himself, the car combines the legacy of the Dino with the excitement of the Cannonball Run and Jack May’s illustrious racing career, with experience at venues like Sebring, Mille Miglia, Road Atlanta, and more. The car is in stunningly preserved, unrestored condition, finished in Bianco over a Rosso leather interior, proudly showcasing its heritage, and it’s set to cross the block at Mecum’s 2025 Monterey Auction, which is taking place from August 14-16 at the Del Monte Golf Course in Monterey, California. With an amazing story behind it, anticipation is already building for the bidding on this legendary Dino. View Listing " width="680"> Image Source: Mecum Auctions

The Meaning Behind Ferrari's Historic Rosso Dino Paint Color

With endless shades of vibrant red paint codes, Rosso Dino stands out as an extra special finish. Any automotive enthusiast on the planet can agree that the color red with forever be synonymous with the Ferrari brand, presenting the vibrant shade on every model that leaves the factory in Maranello. Since its humble beginning, the Italian supercar manufacturer began to develop an extensive color palette of red shades that would later take on personalities of their own. One of the most iconic colors in the history of Ferrari is Rosso Dino, which originally debuted in the 1960s on iconic examples like the Ferrari 250 GTO. After some time spent outside the paint booth, the color was reintroduced to the brand's lineup in 2002 when a client asked for his Ferrari Enzo to be painted in Rosso Dino. The Rosso Dino shade receives its name from Founder Enzo Ferrari’s first son Alfredo ‘Dino’, an Italian automotive engineer that found a passion and career in the factory of his father. After Dino’s passing during his unfortunate battle with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at the age of 24, Enzo named the model with the engine Dino was working on at the time of his death. Along with the Dino chassis, Ferrari also named the reddish-orange finish after Enzo’s beloved son. With a shade that mimics a perfect sunset, Rosso Dino is now a regularly used color within the Ferrari factory.

This 1-of-1 2023 Ferrari 812 GTS Is Inspired By Stirling ...

An 812 GTS unlike any other. While many of its modern-day supercars and hypercars come configured with mid-engine powerplants, Ferrari is historically known for fitting massive V12s in the front end of its cars. Shadowing automotive icons like the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO, the Italian manufacturer continues to engineer modern marvels like the 812 GTS to pay homage to its age-old tradition. And to take things even a step further, its bespoke Atelier division tailors modern specs with inspiration from historic models and race liveries from its illustrious past. The Fort Lauderdale Collection South team is proud to showcase this one-off 2023 Ferrari 812 GTS as part of its extensive inventory of supercars for sale on duPont REGISTRY. View Listing Representing the end of an era, this 812 GTS holds significance as the 2023 model year stands out as the last year of production for the coveted open-top version of the 812 Superfast. This spec comes finished in an eye-catching Verde Pallido shade with a contrasting Bianco King racing strip courtesy of Ferrari Atelier. The jaw-dropping livery is inspired by a Ferrari 250 GTO owned by British racing legend Sir Stirling Moss. Other notable options on this build include hand-painted Ferrari shields on each fender, gloss Nero highlights, carbon aero upgrades, and Argento Nurburgring carbon ceramic brake calipers. Inside, the 812 GTS receives the same attention to detail as an Atelier spec, with a race-focused cabin that also provides unmatched comfort for casual spirited drives. Rich Cuoio leather layers Ferrari's carbon sports seats and even features Daytona-style inserts as yet another nod to the brand's history in motorsports. And while carbon fiber seems to cover every inch of the interior, small hidden touches like Verde Pallido painted gear selector buttons and Atelier plaque make this 812 GTS a true one-of-one. Under the hood of the Ferrari 812 GTS lies a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine that roars with an impressive 789 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a lightning-fast 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the convertible grand tourer delivers power and precision. It launches from 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 211 mph, making it one of the fastest open-top Ferraris ever produced.
