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.

The 4x4 Squared treatment gives the Mercedes-AMG G 63 an extra off-road focus. With lifted suspension, larger tires, and tuning for more intense off-road adventures all around, the 4x4 Squared has more presence, more footprint, and more exclusivity. Are there other 4x4 Squared G-Wagons? Yes, the late 2010s saw the introduction of the 4x4 Squared model, with the G 550 4x4 Squared, while the introduction of the Mercedes-AMG G 63 4x4 Squared was the first combination of the AMG and 4x4 Squared attributes of the G-Class. Is the Mercedes-AMG G 63 4x4 Squared fast? Of course, AMG is the performance-oriented arm of Mercedes-Benz, and with the AMG treatment, the 4x4 Squared has more power than the standard G-Class. However, its size and aerodynamics mean that supercar-level top speeds are unlikely behind the wheel of this off-roading machine.

1-of-99 Convertible V12 Luxury Off-Roader Hits The Market

Ever so often, there comes a vehicle that defies all odds and completely breaks the mold. The 2016 Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet is exactly that. One of just 99 ever made, this particular example has surfaced for sale at Prestige Imports in Miami. But to truly understand why this unique take on the G-Wagen commands such a premium, you’ll have to look beyond the chrome, leather, and carbon fiber to understand the Landaulet connection. 100+ Years Of Landaulet Legacy A Landaulet is a throwback body style to the days of coach-built state cars of the early 20th century. Picture royalty, dictators, heads of state, and prominent figures in government waving at crowds through half-open roofs, while being chauffeured in the back. It is essentially a limousine built for the ultra-powerful, with a convertible rear section and a fixed roof upfront for the driver. Mercedes-Benz has a storied history with this format, going back to models like the Benz 25/45 PS of 1910, the famous 600 Pullman in the 60s, and, more recently, with the Maybach 62S in 2008. While the aforementioned models were all based on stately cars, when Mercedes and Maybach teamed up to create the G650 Landaulet in 2015, the result was a truly absurd contradiction of luxury with military-grade capability and off-road prowess. The G-Class, after all, has military roots going back to 1979. Mercedes-Maybach G650 Performance Under the hood, you’ll find a twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 engine hand-built by AMG, which produces 630 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. This powerplant also does duty in the Pagani Huayara hypercar. Despite weighing 6,500 pounds, performance is still brisk for such a beastly machine, with 60 mph coming up in 5.9 seconds. The top speed may only be 112 mph, but where any G-Wagen truly shines is off the pavement. But with the G650, Mercedes went a step further with portal axles and massive all-terrain tires, and 17.7 inches of ground clearance (standard G-Class has just under 10-inches GC); essentially transplanting he hardware from the G500 4×4² onto this Maybach. While the G is immensely capable off-road with its locking diffs, low-range transfer case, and high-tech four-wheel drive systems, you may want to be careful with the 22-inch rims on the G650 Landaulet. Mercedes-Maybach G650 Specs Engine Displacement 6.0 L Engine Configuration Twin-turbocharged V12 (Mercedes-AMG M279) Horsepower 630 hp @ 5,250 rpm Torque 738 lb-ft @ 2,300–4,300 rpm Transmission 7-speed automatic (7G-TRONIC) Curb Weight 6,498 lbs (DIN) 0–60 mph ~5.9 seconds (manufacturer estimate) Top Speed 112 mph (electronically limited) Mercedes-Maybach G650 For Sale The pièce de résistance of the G650 Maybach, without a doubt, are the back seats. With a 23-inch longer wheelbase compared to a standard G-Class, legroom is something that you won’t have to worry about. This particular example features a white-on-white color scheme inside and out. Rear-seat passengers will be treated to massaging seats from the S Class, which fully recline. You also have an electronically operated glass partition that separates you from the driver’s cockpit, and at the touch of a button, you can turn it from transparent to opaque. Add dual-10-inch rear-seat entertainment screens, fold-out tables, and a convertible roof, and what you have is a truly unique open-air experience on offer. With only 99 examples built, the G650 Landaulet is amongst the rarest Mercedes-Benz Maybach models ever made, and so if you’re looking to own one of the German marque’s most unique creations, check out this listing below.
