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.

Porsche Carrera GT in Rosso Fuoco for Sale

Imagine you are a collector of the finest of automobiles and happen to have just about everything in your collection. However, you are missing something German, a Porsche perhaps…but not just any Porsche. The missing piece to your puzzle just happens to be what is arguably the greatest water-cooled mid-engined Porsche ever made, the Carrera GT. That being said, there is a huge reason for you to add one to your collection. Notorious for being extremely dangerous and feared by many respected automotive journalists, the Carrera GT is a naturally aspirated high-revving V10 mated to a manual 6-speed wrapped in a carbon fiber monocoque chassis. Pushing over 600 horsepower out to the rear wheels, this car still keeps up with most supercars of today. However, getting one just isn’t enough for you… You weren’t able to get one ordered new back in 2005. Nor were you able to order it in any of today’s spectrum of colors from all the automotive manufacturers. In fact, if you could have done so, you would have ordered it to match that LaFerrari that you have in the corner of your collection. That leaves the question of ‘What should you do?’ well logically, do it yourself now that you’ve purchased one and that is precisely what the owner of this particular CGT did. Enamored with the color Rosso Fuoco from his LaFerrari, the owner of this originally black Carrera GT had this exact vehicle completely recommissioned. Stripped down to its tub, this car was entirely gone through by the team of Carrera GT specialists at Karosserie in Pennsylvania. Fitted with the last OEM windshield from Porsche, this CGT had everything and anything that needed to be replaced/taken care of, totaling this recommission/sympathetic restoration to over six figures. Available exclusively through duPont Registry, this one-off creation is looking for a new home and is something truly special for the collector of fine vehicles. View Listing

1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster Heading To Aucti...

Presented by Broad Arrow Group. Broad Arrow Auctions is pleased to offer this unique and outstanding 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster to it’s upcoming Monterey Jet Center Auction this 18 August. This wonderful example is one of the true crown jewels of the Classic Era of motor cars, arguably no automobile symbolizes the pinnacle of design, engineering, and construction among the Classic Era cars better than the Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster. Incredibly rare, stunningly beautiful, a cherished centerpiece for collectors worldwide – chassis 408383 is the perfect representation of those enviable qualities. The original owner of the Mercedes-Benz, Rolf Horn of Berlin was known to operate an exclusive and high-end interior design and accessories boutique and as such, he was recorded to have been closely involved in the original design of this 540K Special Roadster. While the core of the design is clearly Sindelfingen, Horn specified subtle, yet unique revisions to the coachwork including desirable sculpted lowered doors that incorporated disappearing roll up windows, a dramatically sloping and opening windshield, a full covered spare tire and perhaps most attractively, two long and impressive distinctive lines of louvers replacing the rectangular hood screens. Notably, all Mercedes-Benz 540K models were highly desirable when new. Chassis 408383 was no exception and over the course of the ensuing three decades it found its way to Sweden from where it was purchased by noted collector and trader Tom Barrett and eventually passed into the long-term ownership of Major General William Lyon and the Lyon Family Collection where it would remain until 2011. After the car was restored and sold to a new owner, 408383 underwent a complete refreshening by RM Auto Restoration that then set the car, now finished in a deep and rich dark blue, on a new path that would lead it to events around the country including the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance where it was awarded best in class as well as the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance where it won a Second in Class award. The 540K Special Roadster received additional awards at the Pinehurst Concours d'Elegance, Winter Park, Boca Raton, Hilton Head, as well as a Best of Show at Mar-a-Lago. Ownership provides immediate entry into the finest events worldwide while also allowing for inclusion within one of the most select of ownership circles. This Supercharged five-speed 540K is as impressive to drive as it to look at and the next owner will appreciate the meticulous care that the car has received under its current ownership.

Check The Spec: Ferrari 812 GTS Finished In Verde Germogl...

A chance to own a true one-of-one 812 GTS spec unlike any other on the road. Front engine Ferrari models take fans of the prancing horse back to its beginning as an automotive manufacturer, with iconic examples like the Ferrari 125S paving the way for future endeavors. Now generations later, Ferrari continues its celebration of the front engine V12 with exclusive production series like the 812 GTS. The Italian supercar professionals at Ferrari South Bay are proud to showcase this truly unique 2022 Ferrari 812 GTS as part of its growing inventory of high-desirable luxury automobiles. Finished in Verde Germoglio With what seems to be an extensive color palette of red shades available in Maranello, the exterior of this 812 GTS features a stunningly non-traditional Verde Germoglio finish. The vibrant green theme accentuates the aggressive body lines of Ferrari, showcasing every air inlet and exterior carbon fiber component that helps add to the 812 GTS’ performance. Being the perfect open-top Targa, the Italian supercar comes fit with a paint-matched retractable hardtop that sits flush for a more private driving experience. Highighting contrast against its head-turning design, the build also includes a set of factory 20-inch forged matte grey racing wheels with a yellow carbon-ceramic brake package. Carbon fiber ground effects shed weight while adding a new look to the front lip, rear diffuser, and rear diffuser. With the production of the 812 model ending, this will almost surely go down in Ferrari history as a 1-of-1 configuration, and will most likely be the only 812 ever painted in this special color. Cuoio Alcantara with Verde 839 Accents While the outside screams modern Ferrari, the interior layout portrays a classic Ferrari touch with a twist. The driver-focused cabin sticks out with a pair of standard carbon fiber racing seats layered in Cuoio Alcantara with black inserts, which incorporates Verde 839 into the prancing horse emblem on each headrest. Along with a matching lower dash, door card inserts, center console, and floor mats, the use of green also makes its way into the contrast stitching and the ‘812 GTS’ logo on the floor mats. With a nod to racing and its involvement in motorsport, the 812 GTS uses the same carbon-fiber interior components seen on state-of-the-art race cars. The interior styling offers a modern comfortable space with everything one would need for any on or off-track driving. 6.5L Naturally-Aspirated V12 (789hp/530ft-lb) The heartbeat of the 2022 Ferrari 812 GTS is driven by the brand’s famous 6.5L Naturally-Aspirated V8, an engine platform that generates over 789-horsepower and 530-pound-feet of instant torque. A sophisticated 7-speed Magna dual-clutch transmission manages the power output of the 812 GTS, launching it from 0-60mph in just 3.3-seconds.

Experience The 2022 1050HP Stage I Yenko®/SC Camaro

Presented by Specialty Vehicle Engineering. Back in 1969, muscle cars were as popular as ever as automakers like GM, Ford and Chrysler were creating models with an abundance of power on tap. For Chevrolet, their Central Office Production Order (COPO) system created a limited run of Camaros that were powered by the ZL-1 all-aluminum big-block engine. To celebrate those vehicles, Specialty Vehicle Engineering will build 50 of these 2022 YENKO/SC® Stage I Camaros. These limited edition Camaros get their 1,050 horsepower and 900 lb-ft of torque from a supercharged custom-built 416 C.I.D. (6.8L) engine, based on the production 6.2 Liter LT-1 engine. This engine features a blueprinted LT-1 aluminum block, computer-balanced race-quality rotating assembly, including forged 4340 steel crankshaft and H-beam steel rods, forged aluminum pistons, CNC ported high-flow LT-4 cylinder heads with ARP high-strength head and main studs, a custom supercharger with a 10-rib dedicated belt drive system utilizing an upgraded fuel system and injectors, a larger throttle body, and custom stainless steel exhaust system. TO match the massive amount of power that this Camaros houses, Specialty Vehicle Engineering has given this limited edition Camaro new design cues. From the interior to the exterior, there are many features that allow it to stand out amongst all other Camaros. This includes the body color-painted carbon fiber hood with an exposed carbon fiber hood scoop, hood cowl badges, YENKO® crest badges and unique side stripes. Inside, the cabin is replete with the YENKO® trademark on the embroidered floor mats and headrests. Additionally, there are nine factory paint color choices and nice colors available for the sYc® side graphics.
