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 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 964 Flachbau Is As Rare As 91...

This 911 stands out even in discerning crowds. Many enthusiasts will tell you about the importance of the air-cooled engine in the 911, and the fact that air-cooled 911s retain a special value because of their cultural importance and appeal among 911 purists around the world. However, the world of Porsche 911s, when it comes to exclusivity, rarity, and desirability, goes much deeper than that. While the 911 is an incredibly popular sports car, it has had all manners of editions, changes, colors and features that are unique and appeal to a niche group of enthusiasts and collectors who want a 911 that makes a statement, even within a crowd of other 911 owners and collectors. MUST READ: 2022 Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge Gives Classics A New Lease On Life An amazing example of a unique Porsche 911 is this 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo Flachbau. Finished in Speed Yellow and given the S package with an enlarged turbo, fuel injectors, and other performance upgrades, this is a stunning example of a 964 generation of the Porsche 911 as it is, and an incredibly worthy collector piece. However, this car has an added surprise that makes it even more special: the Flachbau aerodynamics package. “Flachbau” translates to “flat nose” in English, and what the package involved was taking the traditional protruding headlights of the 911 of that time, and reinstalling pop-up headlights in the front fenders for a more flush fit with better aerodynamics. The inclusion of this package makes this 911 extremely rare, as a matter of fact, it is one of only 39 Flachbau 964s in the United States making it one of the rarest, most desirable 911s ever. With so few of these cars available, let alone in such beautiful condition, this 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 964 Flachbau is the definition of a dream car. View Listing

2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 for Sale

By 2011, the 991 series Porsche 911 was almost production-ready. So in order to give the 997 series a proper farewell, the 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 received some serious upgrades. By taking the crankshaft directly from the 911 RSR race car, the street-legal GT3 RS was bumped up to 4.0 liters of furious flat-six. It offers 500 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 339 lb-ft of torque. Variocam-Plus allows for independent timing of intake and exhaust cams, and a two-stage intake manifold offers torque across a wide plateau. It will stand the test of time as the first naturally aspirated 911 to offer 125 horsepower per liter. As one of the most efficient engines to-date, it makes use of high flow intakes and exhaust systems. More than just a big engine, the 4.0 was a model unto itself. Standard equipment included PCCB composite brakes, front end lift, and impressive aerodynamics. As one of the most highly optioned examples we've seen, it also has climate control and power windows. Thankfully the PDK transmission was omitted, so you get to enjoy the thrill of a proper heel-toe downshifts. It is 22 lbs lighter than its predecessor thanks to carbon fiber fenders and trunk lid. Even the connecting rods were forged from titanium to build this featherweight supercar. Only 600 examples of the GT3 RS 4.0 were produced for the world, and it will stand the test of time as the 997's Grand Finale. Click the link below to learn more about this pristine Porsche.

We picked four of the most outstanding Porsches in stock, so tell us your favorite in the comments below. 1987 RUF BTR This black menace is a real RUF BTR. It stands for Group B Turbo RUF and it was built to compete in Group B events. The massive turbo delivers 350 lb-ft of torque and 375 horsepower. It has impressive performance even compared to modern examples with a 0-60 time of 4.7 seconds and the quarter mile in 13.3. View Price & Listing 1977 Mexico Blue 911 Turbo This classic 911 Turbo was built with only the best parts; starting with $40,000 in engine work alone. It has a full-on no expense spared suspension (torsion bar) as to be period correct. A 100% rebuilt tranny with new gearing and Guard differential. At 7000 RPM/redline its maxed out at 132mph. Its short geared and a blast from 30 to 130 mph, not tall geared like the stock 930’s. The goal with this car was to build an early turbo hot rod, sort of how someone would have in the late 70s. The CIS system was rebuilt along with a KKK turbo. Weight reduction was a priority, and without seats and fiberglass front and rear bumpers it weighs 2154 lbs. The bulletproofed transmission has close ratios with a stock 1st gear, short 2nd, short 3rd and the new 4th is the old 3rd. This car will not be doing any long trips up the highway, wanted a back road hot rod which will scoot between 30mph and 120mph. This also means it will not fall off of boost between shifts.

The dyno was 268 hp to the wheels and the car is sub-2250 pounds and is geared right. From the shift linkage to the motor mounts, nothing was left to chance. Here is just a small list of the components used: -case parting halves machined flat and the main bearing saddles lined bored back to standard, case savers installed, spot face through bolt holes, cleaned oil galleries, KMW finished it off with machining for the GT-3 pump and oil mods. 66mm knife edged crank, oil mods, balanced and polished by Pauter.

2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S For Sale

For the past two decades, the 911 Turbo S has reigned supreme as the leader of the regular production Porsche 911. Of course this doesn't include the GT cars or the 911R, which is why it out priced them in some situations. The 991 series of 911 arrived in 2011, and the Turbo S took the world by storm. This 2017 example might look identical at first, but major changes were made to the 991's second generation. The 991.2 series is lower and wider, with subtle styling updates all around. It is essentially a new car for 2017. A new steering wheel is borrowed from the 918 Spyder, and the navigation system is now integrated with Google Earth and Street View. To keep the turbos spinning, a unique version of anti-lag cuts fuel in off-throttle situations. By leaving the throttle open, the engine's exhaust remains pressurized. You will have boost waiting for you as soon as your right foot awakens the injectors. In the corners, you are treated to Porsche Active Suspension Management and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control. The shocks are continuously changing in order to cope with any terrain. Even the sway bars are variable, allowing just enough body roll to keep things comfortable. The 7-speed PDK transmission is the world's best dual-clutch gearbox. It can interpret your mood to hold each gear to just the right speed. At full throttle, it is as brutal and precise as a howitzer. That is why the Turbo S was chosen for the 911 Exclusive Series. If you need to reach 60 mph in less than three seconds, this is the car for you. Consistent 10-second quarter mile times and violent launches are worth every penny. With only 2,384 miles, it is a bargain when you consider the window sticker. We enjoy bringing you the world's most exclusive exotic cars for sale, so click the link below for your next car.2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S For Sale

2015 Porsche 911 Turbo S For Sale

If you are looking for the ultimate in flat-six power, the Porsche 911 Turbo S is a potent machine. The 991 series 911 Turbo arrived in 2013 with All-Wheel-Drive and a 7-speed PDK transmission. The Porsche Doppelkupplung literally translates to dual-clutch. One clutch handles even numbers, and the other gets odds. Up and down shifts happen in a twinkling of an eye, faster than any manual gearbox. From there it travels to the center differential. In the old days, the center diff was a purely mechanical device. It was a Torsen with a fixed ratio front to rear, known as Porsche Torque Vectoring. While it was fine on sweeping corners and high-speed maneuvering, it could not react fast enough for engineers who are never satisfied.Since the PDK transmission already had a hydraulic circuit for shifting, a new center differential was designed for the Turbo S. Known as PTV Plus, it is a multi-plate wet clutch that can instantly send 100% of torque north or south. Constantly working to divide the power, it is linked by computer to the electronic rear differential. You might be wondering why such potent running gear was needed for a six cylinder car.... It is because the 991 series Porsche 911 Turbo S makes 552 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. The Sport Chrono package is more than just a fancy time keeping ornament. For those who ordered it, a brief overboost will offer 553 lb-ft of torque. This translates to 0-60 times under 3 seconds on a bad day. Launch control erupts like you were hit by a bus. Zero to 170 mph is accomplished under 25 seconds, it makes leaving look easy. A Porsche 911 Turbo S for sale is a great way to enjoy one of the fastest production cars on the market.Attention to detail is how Porsche has remained at the cutting edge of performance and luxury. Look at the chin spoiler above. It is controlled along with the rear spoiler by a computer. Countless hours of wind tunnel tests and 3D modeling were undertaken to make it functional and active in order to preserve ground clearance and fuel economy. Another example would be the handmade seats in the 2018 Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series. No detail is trivial to Porsche. If you want to experience it for yourself, the Porsche 911 Turbo S price is more competitive than anything else of this power level.2015 Porsche 911 Turbo S For Sale
