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 Announces Price Increases In Response To Tariffs

Ferrari prepares to increase prices in response to coming tariffs. Ferrari makes some of the most desirable, exclusive, powerful, beautiful, and of course, expensive sports cars and supercars on the market. With their impeccable engineering and icon status in the motorsport and automotive worlds, buying a Ferrari is an important milestone for many automotive enthusiasts, and one that will be different for Ferrari enthusiasts in the United States, due to the announcement of tariffs on cars imported from the EU. In a new announcement from Ferrari, the manufacturer updated its commercial policy in response to the currently available information about the tariffs. Orders of cars imported before April 2 will remain unchanged, as will orders for 296, Roma, and SF90 model families. However, for the remaining models in Ferrari’s current lineup, Ferrari will reflect the new import conditions on its pricing, with increases of up to 10 percent, in coordination with its dealer network. Meanwhile, Ferrari is confirming its financial targets for the year, with a potential risk of a 50 basis-point decrease on its profitability (EBIT/EBITDA) margins. View All Ferraris For Sale

F1 Legend Lewis Hamilton Reveals Ferrari ‘F44’ Supercar D...

In January, we reported on why Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari deal goes way beyond Formula 1, and you can read that report here. Two months later, it appears that we might have just witnessed how that could materialize in the form of him putting his design efforts into a new ‘F44’ supercar, based on the legendary F40 from the mid-1980s… Motorsport.com quotes Hamilton, who races with the number 44 in F1, as saying this in Australia: “One of the things I really want to do is I want to design a Ferrari. I want to do an F44. Baseline of an F40, with the actual stick shift. That's what I'm gonna work on for the next few years.” The Ferrari F40 was the last road car approved by Enzo Ferrari, before his death in 1988, and it was based on Formula 1 technology of the time. Although over 1,300 examples were produced, its reputation as one of the greatest analogue supercars of all time has led to prices rocketing to between $1.5-3 million, and fellow F1 driver and current world championship leader Lando Norris owns one. It’s not clear exactly when Hamilton said this, potentially at a public event rather than a press conference, as Melbourne hosted the Australian Grand Prix earlier this month. But it’s worth pointing out that on his first official day at Ferrari, the seven-times world champion posed next to the V8-powered F40 outside Enzo Ferrari’s office building at its Fiorano test track. Was this a clue to what’s coming next? Hamilton has a strong Ferrari-owning history, buying a 599 GTO in 2010, before replacing it with a 599 SA Aperta. His collection includes both a LaFerrari, in which he was famously spotted driving around Beverley Hills with Justin Bieber, and an incredible LaFerrari Aperta. Hamilton had been linked with being involved in a special edition of the AMG One when he was at the Mercedes F1 team, but nothing came to pass. Last year, Top Gear Magazine suggested that Ferrari was considering another addition to its ultra-exclusive “Icona” series, alongside the Monza SP1/SP2 and Daytona SP3, and that the LaFerrari would be reimagined somehow. But perhaps this is the project it could next have in mind… Not only does Hamilton, who won the sprint at the Chinese Grand Prix last weekend, bring his undoubted driving skills to Maranello, but he brings a huge profile and following. Knighted by the British royal family, his global appeal – comparable with fellow gigastars Tiger Woods and LeBron James – has appealed to a far broader audience than F1 fans, and he’s also become a prominent activist for increased diversity and social justice. His interests in fashion and music have also increased his influence outside of the cockpit, and his philanthropism and charity work means Ferrari is not only getting one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time but a genuine icon with mass appeal. As Lamborghini goes from strength to strength, in the American market in particular, perhaps Ferrari could take advantage of its F1 legend by putting his name to its next iconic supercar to put its Italian rival in the shade.

Ferrari F80 Price, Specs & Photos

Ferrari adds a new chapter to its hypercar legacy. Many collectors and enthusiasts see Ferrari as one of the pinnacle manufacturers when it comes to automotive luxury, style, performance, engineering and prestige. However, even within Ferrari’s lineup over the decades, a specific pantheon of supercars shines above the rest: the Big Five. Consisting of the Ferrari 288 GTO, the Ferrari F40, the F50, the Enzo, and the LaFerrari, the Ferrari Big Five has historically shown off the very best of Ferrari’s racing-derived engineering, exclusivity, and style, creating exclusive, collector-grade cars that are cherished to this day. However, the Ferrari Big Five has now become the Big Six, with the introduction of the new Ferrari F80. Succeeding the legendary Ferrari LaFerrari, the new Ferrari F80 evolves the LaFerrari’s hybrid design using a new powertrain derived from the two-time Le Mans-winning Ferrari 499P hypercar. With unprecedented performance and engineering, the new Ferrari F80 is the newest chapter in Ferrari’s pinnacle automotive excellence. View All Ferraris For Sale Ferrari F80 Price Being the latest flagship Ferrari hypercar, the Ferrari F80 price starts at $3.1 million. The hefty Ferrari F80 cost not only highlights the F80’s performance, racing-derived components, and cutting-edge engineering, but also the exclusivity, with relatively few examples likely to be made. Of course, the F80 price is likely to only get higher with optional extras. As a collector-grade hypercar masterpiece, finding a Ferrari F80 for sale will be no easy task in the future. Ferrari F80 Specs The Ferrari F80 specs are truly something to behold, establishing the car as a worthy successor to the Ferrari LaFerrari and the rest of the Big Five that came before it. Beyond its incredible, revolutionary powertrain, the F80 specs include a dry weight of just 3,362 pounds, with highly advanced and aggressive active aerodynamics for more than a ton of total downforce, as well as a wide, low stance made for racing prowess. Ferrari F80 Engine Undoubtedly the most controversial and impressive aspect of the Ferrari F80, the Ferrari F80 engine combines a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine with a racing-derived hybrid system to make it the most powerful roadgoing Ferrari yet. The engine itself, which musters 900 horsepower, boasts 300 horsepower per liter. With the help of the hybrid system, the Ferrari F80 horsepower is 1,200 hp, a genuinely staggering number. Ferrari F80 Performance The Ferrari F80 is made for high-performance excellence, with its incredible power and engineering. The Ferrari F80 0-60 is just 2.15 seconds, thanks to its power and its all-wheel drive. If you keep your foot on the pedal, the Ferrari F80 top speed is 217 mph. Ferrari F80 Design With a new design language, the Ferrari F80 represents a futuristic turning point in Ferrari visuals while hoonring the past. The use of exposed carbon fbier gives the Ferrari F80 a two-tone look, and its design features are sinapired by one of the F80’s most prominent predecessors in the Big Five: the F40. The active rear wing is able to assume such drastically different positions that it changes the look of the car as a whole, indicating whether the vehicle is focused on style or ready to break lap records. The interior is made for racing excellence, as well. It has a “+1” configuration, in which the driver’s seat is not only a different color from the passenger seat, but it is also set forward from the passenger seat, which allows the car to comfortably accommodate two passengers while the width of the cabin remains as efficient as possible. The Ferrari F80’s steering wheel is also specifically designed for the car, switching from Ferrari’s haptic controls to buttons for greater control and precision on the track. Image Source: Ferrari
