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.

How Ford Performance Air Freighted 20+ Mustang Dark Horse...

The long transatlantic journey lands the fleet of race-ready Mustangs in France. Ford's historic involvement in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race is a heroic tale fueled by passion, competition, and performance. Most notably, it is portrayed through the Academy Awards-nominated hit film Ford v Ferrari. It conveys Ford's aggressive re-entry into one of the most demanding and rigorous races ever, with Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles leading the team to a 1-2-3 finish in 1966 with the Ford GT40. After a long 47-year hiatus from the race, Ford would later return in 2016 with the addition of the newly re-engineered Ford GT. This year, Ford is scheduled to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Mustang Challenge Le Mans Invitational. While fans are excited to see how the Mustang will perform on-track this week, the bigger question is, "How does Ford get 40+ Mustang race cars over to France in time for the big race?" @fordperformance Instagram Diving into the logistics behind transporting a fleet of race cars across the globe, Ford Performance recently uploaded a YouTube video documenting the incredible feat. It all began at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in South Carolina, where Ford's partners at Scan Global Logistics organized a massive Magma Aviation B747-400F freighter for the journey to Europe (24 cars by air and 18 cars by boat). Scan Global Logistics worked closely with each of Ford's race teams to walk them through the ins and outs of international shipping. That meant hands-on training on what they could and couldn't pack, not just the race cars but all the gear, tools, and spare parts they'd need for the week. It was a big shift from their usual routine of loading up haulers and driving from track to track across the U.S. @fordperformance Instagram After months of planning and a great team effort from everyone involved, the 10-hour journey was a complete success, and all Mustang Dark Horse Rs safely arrived at their final destination. What really made the international trip even smoother is that each car came attached with a carnet (Carnet de Passages en Douanes(CPD), which is essentially a passport that allows you to import a vehicle into countries temporarily along with anything noted within its documents (i.e., spare parts and tools.) The Ford Performance team celebrated the monumental accomplishment with a group photo of all 40+ Mustang Dark Horse R race cars lineup up at the starting grid of Circuit de la Sarthe. Catch all of these cars in action on Friday, June 13th, and Saturday, June 14th, as an opener for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Ford Files A U.S. Patent To Explore The Possibility Of Ma...

Ford is looking to save the manuals while pushing towards the future. As the automotive industry continues its push towards electrification and a more efficient way of mobility, consumers, and more specifically passionate gearheads, worry that too much tech will kill the spirit of driving. And while manufacturers like Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren, and Lamborghini have found common middle ground by fitting their supercars and hypercars with hybrid-assisted powertrains to gain extra horsepower, there's still the topic of how manual transmission gearboxes are still on the chopping block for most brands. Ford is making waves in automotive news as it recently filed an application for a U.S. Patent to explore the possibility of fitting EVs with manual transmissions. Originally filed on September 15th, 2023, and officially published last week on March 20th, the patent titled "Shifter Assembly For Electric Vehicle" breaks down a modern-day manual's basic design characteristics and functions. Reading the abstract of Ford Global Technologies, LLC's patent loosely translates to the manufacturer confirming its understanding of how this can happen and that it's ready to take the next necessary steps to develop, engineer, and test the theory. Now, this doesn't exactly mean that Ford will be launching manual Mustang Mach-Es or F-150 Lightnings next year, but it is a step in the right direction for those wondering what will happen to the future of 6-speeds.

Ford Is Making Its Return To Le Mans

Whether you were around to witness greatness as it took place or relived the excitement by watching the Ford vs. Ferrari movie, Ford's involvement and winning history in motorsports was nothing short of incredible. It represented the spirit of competition between two industry giants while introducing the Ford GT40 as its answer to Ferrari. Ford is gearing up for a major return to the pinnacle of endurance racing, announcing plans to enter the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC) in 2027. This revives Ford's legendary presence at Le Mans, where it famously defeated Ferrari in the 1960s with four consecutive victories. Led by Ford Performance, the move aims to challenge the world's best at the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans, a race that has long defined the peak of endurance racing. With a legacy that includes its stunning comeback victory in 2016 with the Ford GT, the brand is no stranger to shaking up the competition. Bill Ford himself highlighted the significance of this return, highlighting Le Mans as the ultimate proving ground for Ford's racing future. As the FIA WEC continues to attract top manufacturers, Ford's return further cements the series' status as a battleground for automotive giants. With 2027 approaching, anticipation builds for what could be another historic chapter in Ford's storied Le Mans legacy. View all Ford GTs for sale on duPont REGISTRY by clicking the link below.
