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.

BRABUS-tuned 2019 Mercedes-AMG G63 For Sale

Presented by Mercedes-Benz of Wilmington. If you think that the Mercedes-AMG G 63 is the pinnacle of G-Class performance, Brabus begs to differ. It seems like these days, the Mercedes-AMG G63, and the G-Wagen in general has become a universal symbol of glamor and luxury driving along with its existing status as an off road dominator and certified classic in the Mercedes-Benz portfolio and in the automotive world at large. The Mercedes-AMG G63 is an awesome car, with its hand-built, twin-turbocharged V8 engine, state-of-the-art drivetrain, and classically head-turning looks. However Brabus, as usual, turned things up a notch. Known as a German tuning house with a knack for taking Mercedes-Benz’s cars and turning them into puzzlingly fast and luxurious machines, the Mercedes-Benz Brabus 700 G 63 is a take on the G-Class that changes the game. The first thing you’ll notice when having a look at the Brabus 700 G 63 is the intimidating, wide stance and matte black color scheme, thanks to Brabus’s Widestar conversion and the house’s signature dark aesthetic. On the interior, the theme of black and red continues, with extensive use of carbon fiber and sleek piano black trim. However, it’s under the hood where things start to get really good. Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 4x4 Squared for Sale The “700” in Brabus 700 G 63 comes from both its horsepower and its torque. While the G63 itself makes an impressive 585 horsepower, Brabus brings this up to 700, and at the same time, brings the torque from 625 lb/ft to 700 as well. This upgrade is done mainly through the ECU, and what you end up getting is a 0-60 time that’s lowered to 4.3 seconds, which is blindingly quick for an SUV like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and a top speed of up to 149 mph. And just as much as it is powerful and unique, the Brabus 700 G 63 is rare. It’s one of only 10 available, and at $409,900, this opportunity to purchase a Mercedes-AMG Brabus 700 G 63 for sale is certainly not one to miss. View Price and Listing

2019 Ford GT With Over $118k in Options Up For Auction

Presented by Sackey & Co. | Online Supercar Auctions. Sackey & Co. | Online Supercar Auctions is proud to present this stunning 2019 Ford GT serial no. K117 finished in factory Extended Color Palette 2 ‘Race Red’ & Lightning Blue metallic stripes over a Dark Energy Upgrade interior and just 255 miles from new. This Ford GT is live now for online auction on Sackey & Co., with bidding to conclude on May 4th. Background on the latest iteration of the Ford GT: In 1901, automotive engineer Henry Ford and his 26-horsepower car “Sweepstakes” famously won a Detroit-area race against local favorite Alexander Winton in his 70-horsepower “Bullet,” a testament to the lightness & reliability of the car Ford had created. His win would attract the publicity and investors that allowed him to start the Ford Motor Company less than two years later in 1903. Over a century later, in 2014, Ford quietly developed a twin-turbocharged V6 unit for prototype class racing, pushing it to an eventual win at the 2015 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. The engine took advantage of similar benefits to the V6 power units recently introduced in Formula 1 at the time, including better packaging, weight, & fuel efficiency versus the larger engines previously used. The spirit of this engine evoked that used by Henry Ford in his original racing car - a focus on innovative engineering over traditional thinking. Casual observers believed Ford was simply experimenting with a new racing engine, but the company had bigger plans ahead. The ultimate use for the engine was revealed to be a new purpose-built Ford GT race car, which would have the incredible task of a return to Le Mans to recapture the glory of Ford’s 1966 Ferrari-beating 1-2-3 finish, 50 years later to the day in 2016. Amazingly, they succeeded in achieving their objective, beating Ferrari once more for a 1st place class win and writing one of the great sports car & racing stories of all time. The road-legal variant of the Le Mans-winning Ford GT was developed alongside the race version, borne as a required homologation effort and additionally as a gift to the Ford faithful, with only 1,350 total units planned. Completion of said production run is on-schedule to end in just a few months’ time, all allocations having been sold out. Built by Ford affiliate Multimatic, who are essentially to Ford what Michelotto is to Ferrari, each new Ford GT is hand-built to order. The car on offer here is a stunningly highly-specced example of this incredible racecar-turned Supercar. The Ford GT on offer: Ford GT serial no. K117 and VIN number 2FAGP9CW7KH200117 was custom specified by its current & only owner, a prominent Ferrari collector, and delivered to him on May 10th, 2019 at Hoffman Ford in East Hartford, Connecticut.

Check The Spec: The First Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta Del...

The Ferrari 458 Italia will forever be celebrated by the Italian supercar manufacturer and automotive enthusiasts as the last production model to leave the Modena, Italy factory with a naturally-aspirated engine platform. Alongside a series of variations of the 458 platform, the Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta stands out as the pinnacle example for most owners and enthusiasts. The prancing horse specialists at Ferrari South Bay are proud to showcase this magnificent 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta as part of its ever-growing inventory of exotic supercars. Finished in Giallo Triplo Strato with Blu Nart & Bianco Stripes This Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta holds a special place in history, as it was the first chassis to be delivered to the United States back in 2015. The exterior of the limited-edition supercar features a Giallo Triplo Strato finish with Blu Nart and Bianco racing stripes, which is designated as the official launch color upon its initial debut. The Speciale Aperta version includes all of the performance upgrades with the functionality of an everyday hardtop convertible cruiser, achieving its dramatic appearance change from the push of a button. The body lines are accentuated with a series of carbon fiber exterior components that take on an exposed blue carbon fiber finish to compliment the vehicle’s livery. The Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta gains traction from a set of lightweight five-spoke factory sport wheels that act as a window into the paint-matched blue Brembo big brake package. Arguably one of the most well-rounded supercars, the Ferrari 458 Speciale defines itself as the total package. Blu Scuro Alcantara Interior The interior cabin layout presents an accurate representation of the 458 Speciale Alert’s exterior configuration, incorporating matching colors and materials to help bring together the one-of-a-kind design. A pair of Blu Scuro Alcantara factory Ferrari sports seats showcase matching Giallo Triplo racing stripes that run down the center inserts, which also include a prancing horse stitched into each headrest. The most noticeable aspect of the custom interior is the use of exposed gloss blue carbon fiber, which makes its appearance on the door cards, sports steering wheel, paddle shifters, center console, and dash trim. As the official launch configuration for the 458 Speciale Aperta, Ferrari made sure to stand out with a head-turning spec that nobody would forget. As a truly unique spec, this interior is sure to be considered a collector’s example in the future for owners and enthusiasts. Naturally-Aspirated 4.5L V8 (562hp/398lb-ft) Viewed as one of the last pure Ferrari models, the 458 Speciale Aperta delivers over 562-horsepower and 398-ft-lb of torque to the rear wheels using a naturally-aspirated 4.5L V8 engine. Supplied with instant torque from the monstrous 8-cylinder, its 7-speed dual-clutch transmission launches the special edition Ferrari 458 from 0-60 in just 2.8-seconds. Being the first in the U.S. and the last pure V8 to leave the Italian supercar factory, the Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta will continue its legacy as a growing collector’s example.
