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’s 849 Testarossa, One-Off Supercar To Star At Palm Beach Cavallino Classic 2026

At the height of the global concours calendar, the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic has always been where Ferrari’s past, present, and future converge in the most glamorous way possible. In 2026, that convergence becomes even more powerful: The world’s premier event dedicated to Ferrari cars returns February 13-15 for its 35th anniversary, delivering not only the most important gathering of Maranello machinery anywhere in America, but also two of the most anticipated unveilings of the year: the exclusive North American premiere of the 849 Testarossa and the debut of a brand-new Ferrari One-Off. Set against the refined coastal elegance of South Florida, the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic 2026 represents a major evolution for the event. For the first time in its history, the celebration will be hosted at The Boca Raton, one of America’s most iconic luxury resorts and private clubs, creating a new stage worthy of Ferrari’s modern masterpieces and its legendary heritage alike. Celebrating 35 Years of Cavallino Classic Excellence Founded as a tribute to the artistry, performance, and legacy of Ferrari, the Cavallino Classic has grown into the most prestigious Ferrari concours in the world. For its 35th anniversary, the 2026 edition introduces several major new elements designed to elevate the experience for collectors, enthusiasts, and VIP guests alike. The event retains its proven format, beginning with Friday’s Tour d’Elegance and Party Under the Stars, followed by Saturday’s Concorso d’Eleganza, the emotional and visual centerpiece of the weekend. The celebration continues with Cavallino Night, before concluding with Classic & Sports Sunday, traditionally held at the Mar-a-Lago Club. Another significant addition is the Cavallino Auction by RM Sotheby’s, marking the first time the world-renowned auction house will conduct an official sale as part of the Cavallino Classic. RM Sotheby’s will present “an exceptional selection of Ferrari models,” underscoring the caliber of collections that define this elite gathering. A North American Premiere: The 849 Testarossa The most anticipated moment of the 2026 Palm Beach Cavallino Classic will take place on Friday evening during the Party Under the Stars at The Boca Raton, when Ferrari unveils the 849 Testarossa in its exclusive North American premiere. The latest Ferrari, the 849 Testarossa represents a new chapter for the marque, and its introduction at Cavallino Classic reinforces the event’s standing as Ferrari’s most important stage in North America. Surrounded by collectors, VIPs, and the brand’s most dedicated patrons, the unveiling is designed to be as dramatic and glamorous as the car itself. Alongside the Testarossa, Ferrari’s full contemporary lineup will be on display. The showcase will include the Ferrari Amalfi, and the Ferrari Purosangue, the first ever four-door, four-seater that encapsulates the pure spirit of the brand. A Ferrari One-Off Takes the Spotlight Adding to the exclusivity of the weekend, a brand-new Ferrari one-off will make its public debut at Casa Ferrari during the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic. One-off Ferraris are among the rarest automobiles in existence, commissioned by elite clients and tailored through Ferrari’s bespoke personalization programs. Their appearance is exceptionally rare, making this unveiling one of the most closely-watched moments of the 2026 event. The one-off will further anchor Casa Ferrari as the epicenter of modern Maranello design during the Cavallino Classic weekend, turning The Boca Raton into a temporary home for Ferrari’s most exclusive creations. Honoring Ferrari’s Heritage and Craftsmanship In addition to the modern supercars, a dedicated area will be devoted to Ferrari Classiche and The Ferrari Foundation, highlighting the craftsmanship, preservation, and educational initiatives that support the brand’s legacy. Among the featured cars will be the Tailor Made 812 Competizione and the SP3 ‘599+1’, which was “previously auctioned to benefit the brand’s educational initiatives.” These displays reinforce the Cavallino Classic’s unique ability to unite Ferrari’s past and future in one refined, collector-focused environment. America’s Premier Ferrari Gathering For three and a half decades, the Palm Beach Cavallino Classic has stood apart from every other North American automotive event. It is not simply a concours, but a luxury experience that blends rare Ferraris, world-class hospitality, and an international community of collectors. With the U.S. premiere of the 849 Testarossa and the unveiling of a brand-new Ferrari one-off, the 35th anniversary edition promises to be one of the most significant and luxurious moments in the event’s storied history – a fitting tribute to Ferrari’s enduring power to captivate the world.

Two red Ferrari sports cars, the SF90 Stradale and the 849 Testarossa, are shown side by side on a racetrack, both photographed from the side to emphasize their sleek aerodynamic designs in this striking comparison.

Comparison: Ferrari SF90 Stradale Vs. Ferrari 849 Testarossa

With Ferrari bringing back the iconic Testarossa nameplate, it is reviving one of the most storied badges in Maranello’s history, a name born in racing and later made famous on the road. For those unaware, the words Testa Rossa first appeared in the 1950s on endurance race cars like the 500 TR and 250 TR, whose red-painted cam covers gave them their name and cemented their legend. Three decades later, the badge returned, this time on the now iconic Miami Vice-era 1984 Testarossa, followed by the 512 TR, defining Ferrari’s road-car styling with wide hips, side strakes, and a mid-mounted flat-12. For an entire generation, the Testarossa was the Ferrari, and hanging a poster of a red 512 TR on your bedroom wall was all about dreaming of status, excess, and the ultimate Italian statement. So when Ferrari pulled the covers off the 849 Testarossa last week, along with its open-top Spider variant, expectations were sky-high. Now 849 is in reference to eight cylinders with 490 cc per cylinder. Here was the direct successor to the SF90 Stradale, which in itself was a landmark car as Ferrari’s first series-production plug-in hybrid, when it broke cover in 2019. The SF90 proved that hybridization could still deliver biblical performance even on a car with the prancing horse badge, but it also polarized. Some loved its digital precision; others found it too detached. Now, six years later, the 849 Testarossa promises to bridge that gap. It brings more power, better aero, smarter tech, and once again, the option of open-air driving in Spider form. So, how exactly do these two flagship hybrid Ferrari supercars compare? Let’s find out. Exterior Design Now, styling is purely subjective, so each to their own, but the SF90’s sharper design compared to its predecessor was certainly a break from tradition and a step in a different direction. Its narrow LED headlights, flat tail, and high-mounted exhausts gave it an aesthetic of something that somehow managed to look both futuristic and elegant, a feat that isn’t easy to pull off. Clearly, then, Ferrari hadn’t lost the plot as there were still plenty of exquisite details to keep the faithful happy. Most notably, the way the body-colored panel separated the roof from the engine compartment was one of the highlights. The proportions were spot on. The 849 Testarossa, meanwhile, carries more visual weight, but not in the way purists might have expected. Upfront, you have two distinctive aero elements that sit just below the headlights, and blacked-out facia panels showcase Ferrari’s modern design language from the 12 Cilindri and the Ferrari F80. The rear twin-tail rear is inspired by the 512 S. The five-spoke aeroblade wheels serve a function as well as a form, venting air from the wheel wells to aid cooling. The Spider variant brings its own flair with the roof down, the twin-tail silhouette looks even more dramatic, and the retractable hardtop folds in 14 seconds at speeds of up to 28 mph. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jon Sibal (@jonsibal) Having said that, there’s one sorely missing design detail, especially since Ferrari has decided to call this car a Testarossa. The 1980s original and the 512 TR were defined by their side strakes, a functional element that doubled as an intake solution and became shorthand for Ferrari in the 1980s. Here, though, Ferrari has decided to skip them (the internet was quick to come up with a mock up), replacing them with a vertical black panel that channels air into the intercoolers. Overall cooling has now improved by 15 percent. If you loved how the Daytona SP3 from Ferrari’s Icona Series embraced retro cues from the 1960s, this feels like a missed opportunity. The Testarossa name carries weight, and bringing back those signature strakes could have truly revived and tied it to that legacy. Interior Design Sitting at the very top of the lineup, the SF90 introduced the new Human Machine Interface (HMI), Ferrari’s fully digital cockpit with its highly configurable 16-inch curved display, and a heads-up display for the first time. The execution, however, was far from ideal because capacitive touch controls for simple tasks like indicators or wipers have long made daily driving a bit tricky. Great in theory, and while it looked advanced, in the real world, there was a lot to be desired. The 849 Testarossa takes a more measured approach, and as is being seen across much of the industry, physical buttons have made a return, including a proper start switch. Ferrari is clearly listening to its customers, and we saw the first signs of this attempt to improve usability and ergonomics when they introduced the Amalfi coupe in July. While the metallic panel on the central console is designed to mimic a gated shifter, it also continues to do duty on this newest flagship, as it did on the SF90. The 849 cockpit’s new “sail” design, borrowed from the Ferrari F80, brings visual drama to the cabin. Also, screens galore, because despite the revival of some analog controls, three panels: a 16-inch driver display, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and an 8.8-inch passenger display, deliver the expected data to both driver and passenger. Further, the Spider variant’s cabin benefits from the same updates, but with additional attention to airflow management. Ferrari designed the cockpit so conversation remains possible with the roof down, something you wouldn’t have said about the Testarossa or 512 TR back in the day. Ferrari hasn’t abandoned tech, but this time it’s about refinement and functionality, and not just novelty. Performance As for performance, the SF90 was, as previously mentioned, Ferrari’s first hybrid benchmark. A 4.0-liter twin-turbo 90-degree V8 pairs with three electric motors, good for a combined 986 horsepower (160 hp from e-drive) and 590 pound-feet of torque. 62 mph is done away with in 2.5 seconds, and it tops out at 211 mph. If you’ve seen those drag races on YouTube, you know how the hybrid tech has helped the SF90 dominate the ¼ mile against much of the competition. But even with the mega performance, this is a plug-in hybrid, remember, and you can still cover 15.5 miles on electric power alone from the 7.45-kWh lithium-ion battery integrated into the chassis. Four eManettino modes let you toggle between eDrive, Hybrid, Performance, and Qualify, tailoring response for every scenario. How the 849 Testarossa builds upon that is something hard to fathom. The V8 now delivers 819 horsepower on its own, thanks to larger turbos, lighter internals, and a freer-flowing twin Inconel exhausts, with ducts that are 20 percent larger and 10 percent longer than before. Three electric motors, two at the front, one axial flux unit in the engine bay, add 217 horsepower for a combined 1,036 horsepower and once again, all-wheel drive. Zero to 62 mph now takes just 2.3 seconds, with 124 mph in 6.35 seconds, with top speed rated at 205 mph. However, downforce has now gone up to 915 pounds at 155 mph, just over 50 pounds more than before, now aided by a faster-reacting active rear spoiler that complements the twin-tail rear bodywork. Around Ferrari’s Fiorano test track, the 849 Testarossa managed to clock in a 1:17.5, half a second quicker than the SF90. The Spider trails slightly, hitting 124 mph in 6.5 seconds and lapping Fiorano in 1:18.1. But considering the retractable roof mechanism adds about 200 pounds, the performance gap is smaller than you might expect. Coming to dynamics, the SF90’s torque-vectoring AWD made it absurdly capable, but some owners described it as “too digital.” The 849 Testarossa refines this approach. Ferrari’s new FIVE digital estimator sharpens ABS Evo, brake-by-wire, and traction management. Larger carbon ceramics and co-developed tires shorten stopping distances, while the optional Assetto Fiorano pack cuts weight by 66 pounds and adds twin wings that triple rear downforce. There is an additional active central element that pops up in high down force mode. Additionally, a redesigned front underfloor with vortex generators channels air to the multi-level air diffuser. The optional Assetto Fiorano package, beyond the weight savings from carbon wheels and lightweight seats, comes with race-derived suspension calibration and Michelin Cup 2R tires. Ferrari quotes braking distances and cornering speeds significantly improved with the package. If the standard 849 Testarossa is already devastatingly fast, the Assetto Fiorano-equipped car is the one designed to hunt lap records. Where the SF90 sometimes felt like you were managing software, the 849 should give you more confidence to push its limits. Specification Ferrari SF90 Ferrari 849 Testarossa Engine 4.0L twin-turbo V8 + 3 e-motors 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (revised)+ 3 e-motors Combined Power 986 hp 1,036 hp (819 hp ICE + 217 hp e-motors) Torque 590 lb-ft 590 lb-ft Transmission 8-speed DCT 8-speed DCT 0–62 mph 2.5 seconds 2.3 seconds Top Speed 211 mph 205+ mph Ferrari SF90 Vs Ferrari 849 Testarossa: Price and Availability Back in 2019, the SF90 started at about $625,000 in the U.S., with most optioned builds hitting $750,000 or more. Even today, SF90 resale values remain strong, especially for Assetto Fiorano versions. The 849 Testarossa, despite being newer and more powerful, undercuts it slightly. The coupe starts at $540,000, while the Spider variant will set you back $585,000. Options and tailor-made builds will push most cars above $650,000, but Ferrari clearly wanted to keep the Testarossa within striking range of its predecessor. U.S. deliveries begin in late 2026. The Testarossa badge carries enormous weight and was the car that cemented Ferrari’s dominance back in the 1980s. To revive that name in 2025 is a bold move, one that requires more than just power figures. As for the SF90 Stradale, it will always be remembered as the model that helped Ferrari into the hybrid age. Nearly 1,000 horsepower, relentless acceleration, and cutting-edge tech made it a formidable advocate against the competition, even if its interface and character divided opinion. The 849 Testarossa, on the other hand, is Ferrari’s attempt at further refining that formula. More power, sharper aero, and cleaner ergonomics make it objectively better. The Spider adds open-air drama to the mix, and if you’re the kind who lives on the ragged edge and seeks the ultimate track toy from the onset, the Assetto Fiorano package is your fix, from the get-go. Is it the spiritual successor to the ‘80s icon? Not entirely, without the strakes, some will argue it’s missing that car’s defining trait. But Ferrari has pretty much delivered on everything else. So if a hybrid Ferrari has been on your radar for a while, you now have more choices. View All Ferrari Testarossa For Sale Images: Ferrari

Field of Forgotten Ferraris is a Sad Sight

A&E's hit TV show "Hoarders" was a look into the minds of people who can't let anything go. And the value placed on garbage seems illogical at best. But what about people who collect Italian exotics? What you are about to see is a tragedy, because a field of forgotten Ferraris is a sad sight. Ben Branch is the founder and editor of Silodrome, and he heard about this collection from Paul Cox, a prominent figure within Houston's Ferrari scene. A successful lawyer started out collecting Corvettes before turning his attention to Ferrari. As such, his collection grew to include several examples of the 308, 328, 348, Testarossa, and even a few Mondials. What Happened? The cars were stored in a warehouse until he was diagnosed with a serious illness. After missing a few payments, the cars were moved outside sometime around 2012. Once the payments were caught up, the cars were supposed to be moved back in. This never happened and they have been neglected ever since. The author is protecting all names and locations due to ongoing litigation. We do know that of the 11 cars, nine have titles and will be hopefully be restored. This story is bound to have more details, so stay with us for updates. In the meantime, Ferrari of Houston might have the inside scoop.

Miami Vice's Ferrari Testarossa Set to Cross the Block at...

If you can feel it coming " title="YouTube video" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen> tonight, dust off your Phil Collins cassette tapes because your favorite Ferrari is going to auction. Our friends at Mecum are selling the iconic 1986 Testarossa that served as the Hero Car for Miami Vice during their August 13-15 auction in Monterey, California. For the first two seasons, Tubbs and Crockett’s primary ride was a black Daytona Spyder. The Spyder bodies were as close to real Ferraris as Universal could afford, but in reality they were heavily modified Corvettes. When Enzo heard of the forgery, he threatened the producers with a lawsuit. To settle the dispute, two black Testarossas were provided at the beginning of the third season. Since the show was mostly filmed at night, the cars were painted white to offer more contrast on primitive 1980s television sets. After sitting in storage since 1990, the car recently had an engine out service done at Shelton Ferrari in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The odometer shows only 16,124 miles, and it is authenticated by Ferrari North America and Ferrari Classiche. Watch for it to roll across Mecum’s block during prime time at their Monterey Auction. For more Monterey updates, stay tuned to Autofluence, and to learn more about this upcoming auction, be sure to visit the Mecum website at www.Mecum.com.
