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 recent craze has uncovered some spectacular performance icons that highlight the early era of Mercedes-Benz's AMG division. It represents a time in automotive history when boundaries on what was possible were nonexistent, giving manufacturers free rein on designing, engineering, and ultimately selling the perfect car to those who seek a more thrilling driving experience. Showcasing a true icon of its own, the team at Speedart Motorsports of Miami, FL is proud to feature this ultra-rare 1990 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC AMG 6.0 ‘Wide-Body’ as part of its inventory of exotic cars for sale on duPont REGISTRY.

Producing around 385 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque, this enables the 560 SEC AMG 6.0 to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds, a remarkable feat for a car of its size during that period. Paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, it offers raw speed and an engaging and responsive driving experience, all while wrapped in the luxurious and distinctive AMG Wide-Body.

Two Mercedes-Benz 300 SLs Are For Sale At Cargold Collection

These two cars for sale make a prized pair. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is one of the most celebrated cars of all time. It’s one of the defining examples of the grand touring genre, with its forever-stunning looks, performance that excels in its time, and design with luxurious, leisurely, long drives in mind. All this is true even before mentioning the gullwing doors that cemented the car in automotive history forever. For those reasons, along with the car’s rarity and age, well-preserved and documented examples are worth a fortune and are also very hard to find. However, it’s cars like these that Cargold Collection in Germany specializes in, and the dealership currently has not just one but two examples of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL available for sale, 1 from 1955, and 1 from 1960. MUST READ: The New Mercedes-AMG SL 63 Motorsport Collectors Edition Has Project ONE Looks By 1960, the gullwing doors had been replaced, and Mercedes-Benz had instead opted for a roadster, allowing for the open-top driving experience that car enthusiasts crave to this day. The 1960 example is fitted with its original hardtop and features matching-number parts throughout. The gullwing 1955 example was originally owned in Los Angeles, but it was sold in 1987 and moved to Germany, where it did the Mille Miglia, and it still has its matching-numbers engine today. Both cars are red today, but the roadster was originally Creme and the coupe was originally green. Available at Cargold Collection GmbH on duPont REGISTRY, both of these stunning machines are available for sale, and purchasing even one would put your car collection among the world’s greatest.

2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren With Mansory And RennTech ...

Considered to be a piece of automotive history, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren tells the tale of two performance icons coming together to create one of the most influential supercars ever.

The exotic car professionals at Fort Lauderdale Collection South are proud to present this one-of-a-kind 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren as part of its incredible inventory of exclusive supersets and hypercars. While most SLR McLaren specs commonly feature a silver or gloss black finishes, the pristine white exterior of this example separates itself from all others in existence. Its aggressive styling is further enhanced using a carbon fiber Mansory package, which improves aerodynamics while adding a unique aesthetic. Carbon fiber is used on the front splitter, hood and fender vent trim, mirror caps, side skirts, rear diffuser, rear spoiler and more. The custom HRE wheels were developed specifically for this car, and the white calipers are also exclusive. MUST-READ: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Supercar for the Track Carbon fiber also adorns the interior of the car on the instrument panel surround trim and cowl, center console, shift lever, door panels, door sills and various trim parts (air vents, switch surrounds, and more). Alcantara is used as the upholstery for the rest of the interior, including on the dash, door panels and Carbon Fiber racing seats. Although the SLR McLaren’s supercharged 5.4L V8 comes equipped with plenty of power, its performance has been improved greatly with help from the Mercedes-Benz tuners at RennTech. Along with a new power output of 720 horsepower, the suspension has also been upgraded with a modern hydraulic lift system for easier drivability.

Why This Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series For Sale Was Only O...

Own one of the most exclusive Mercedes-AMG GTs ever. The Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series takes an incredible German performance car and ups the ante even more, ridding itself of unnecessary weight and adding track-focused aerodynamics, power, and racing-ready looks to the car, turning it into an undeniable performance beast, and one of the most unique and desirable machines currently in the automotive world. However, Mercedes still had a trick up its sleeve to make the car even more special. MUST READ: The New All-Electric Mercedes-Benz EQE Sedan Starts At $74,900 What makes the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Project ONE Edition so special? Stating the obvious, the Project ONE Edition of the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series features an incredibly special livery, with a gradient going from silver in the front to black in the rear and a pattern of Mercedes-Benz 3-pointed stars throughout. The unique livery is inspired by the F1 cars of the AMG-Petronas F1 team, and the same goes for the car’s track-ready performance. However much of the exclusivity is thanks to the fact that the car is limited to just 275 examples, making it one of the rarest Mercedes-AMG GTs ever made, but there’s an even greater layer of exclusivity to the car: it was only made available from Mercedes-Benz to those who purchased the anticipated Mercedes-AMG ONE hypercar, hence the name. That’s right, the opportunity to own this incredible performance car was only given to those who already owned the closely F1-derived hypercar with its revolutionary hybrid powertrain and otherworldly performance, and since the Mercedes-AMG ONE is sold out, this opportunity to own one of the 275 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Project ONE Editions in existence may well be the only opportunity that there ever will be.

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.

Fayalite Green Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren With 820 Miles F...

Green and beige are always a winning combo. Up for sale right now at Ferrari Los Angeles is an extremely rare Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. The exterior is finished in the gorgeous Fayalite Green, a paint color you don't see often on the SLR McLaren. Beige can be found in the interior, and we all know that a green/beige color combination is always a beautiful sight to see. While this very special supercar is beautiful, it's also in immaculate condition. With just 820 miles on its odometer, it's barely been driven. What's more, Ferrari Los Angeles notes that it has been recently serviced and is on a new set of tires. The window sticker is available together with all the manuals, books, accessories, and service records and it's available upon request. If you're unfamiliar with this model, there's a lot to learn, but I'll break it down quickly. The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was made as a production version of the Vision SLR Concept. Mercedes took inspiration from closed-wheel Formula 1 cars and the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé. Wanting to put the concept into production, Mercedes worked alongside McLaren to make it happen. In charge of the design was none other than Gordon Murray, the genius behind the McLaren F1 and his own T.50. For power, the SLR McLaren utilizes a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 that's capable of producing 617 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque. View Price and Listing
