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.

Master & Dynamic MW08 Earphones Review

The earphone market is growing incredibly competitive as of recent and it grows even more competitive when active noise canceling (ANC) is thrown into the mix. Master & Dynamic's latest release, their MW08 True Wireless Earphones with ANC, have joined the competition and are worth your time if you're looking at new premium earphones. Design First, let's talk about the design of the MW08. I knew I was in for a treat when the package itself was well thought out. Each of the components (charging cable, USB-C to USB-A adapter and ear tips) were in designated little boxes. My favorite was the packaging for the ear tips which were arranged by size and made picking out the right size a simple task. When I picked up the stainless steel case for the earphones, I was surprised with how substantial it felt in my hand. The construction of the case is very sturdy and the weight speaks to its ability to hold 30 hours of charge time in addition to the earphone's playtime of 12 hours (42 hours total). As for the earphones themselves, they are gorgeous. It's about now that people ought to start thinking of earphones as fashion accessories because these are stylish. The pair I reviewed was the Black Ceramic model and I immediately wanted to show them off. Master & Dynamic's known D-shaped design continues from the MW07s to the MW08s and it's a design that works very well ergonomically speaking. I say that because when pressing the buttons on each earphone, your thumb rests on the flat button while your pointer finger presses the button in a pinching motion. This allows you to press the buttons without having to interrupt the earphone's placement in your ear. Personally, I'm a huge fan of the physical buttons as opposed to touch-sensitive areas. Sound The most important topic when it comes to earphones is obviously the sound and the MW08s deliver on many fronts. Master & Dynamic is known for their expertise in the audio department and the MW08s offer an incredible sound profile that's expected from such a company. From highs to lows, I was floored with how well they sounded. When it comes to music, I tested a wide range of genres (rap, electronic, metal, classical and more) and each track offered depth that you just can't find in your typical earphone. From the crunch of a guitar in a metal song to the intricate notes of an electronic track, I was in love. What I loved the most is that nothing was overdone-- there's no super deep bass that sounds unnatural and no presence of treble that's forced. I'll put it this way: all I wanted to do when I started listening to music was to not stop listening. That's how good they sound. I should also add that I tested them with a few movies and was blown away clear voices and sound effects were. Another aspect of sound that the MW08s excel in is their active noise canceling abilities. Thanks to six microphones placed across both earphones, the MW08s do a fantastic job at keeping your ears focused on what you're listening to. After wearing them while cooking and working, they performed wonderfully and are on par or even better than other premium earphones. What's more, the new M&W Connect App offers even greater control over ANC. M&W Connect App Before I even started using the new MW08s, I installed the new M&W Connect app and installed the latest update. From there, I explored the app to see what was offered. While there aren't a ton of options to go through, the options given can completely change how you listen to music. First up is the World Volume option that allows you to change between "ANC," "Ambient," or Off. When ANC is selected, you're given two more options: Max ANC and All Day ANC. As the name suggests, MAX ANC should be picked for noisy environments as it will cancel out sounds from airplanes and crowds. All Day ANC is better suited for quiet places and is what I have been mostly using. Then there's the Ambient option which offers "Voice" and "Awareness" options. The voice option is great if you work in an office and don't want coworkers screaming at you as they try and get your attention, while Awareness is good if you really need to be aware of your surroundings. Other options that the app provides include an Auto-Off Timer that will turn off the earphones when nothing is being played, as well as an in-ear detection options. There is no equalizer to be found within the app, but the sound the MW08s provide shouldn't be messed with, to be quite honest. Exercising One last thing I'll talk about is something on a lot of people's minds when it comes to earphones is how they perform when exercising. After wearing them while running, biking and weightlifting, I can say there were no complications. While they might be a bit heavier than the Apple AirPods Pro by just over three grams, I was never aware of their weight while running and never concerned that they would fall out. What's more, the physical buttons on each earphone made changing songs and volume a breeze even when mid-stride. Conclusion Master & Dynamic have hit it out of the park with the new MW08s. From their design to the sound quality, I can say that these are easily my favorite earphones on the market right now. If you're shopping around for a new set of premium earphones, these definitely disserve your eyes... and ears. Shop MW08 Earphones We received these earphones for free from Master & Dynamic.
