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.

When it comes to succession planning, Lamborghini’s Huracán set the gold standard. Following the Gallardo—a model that perfectly blended its Italian flair with German engineering prowess, following the Volkswagen Group’s acquisition—it became a supercar icon. Its exceptional 5.2-liter V10 engine provided a sublime soundtrack to accompany its razor-sharp looks and refined handling, and most importantly rewrote Lamborghini’s record books for sales. The Huracán became a benchmark for the brand, making its successor’s task even more daunting. Buy Single Issue Subscribe Enter the new Temerario, the latest addition to Lamborghini’s storied lineup. While it sacrifices two cylinders compared to the naturally aspirated Huracán, its new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, paired with three electric motors, delivers over 900 horsepower and a top speed of 213 mph. This advanced powertrain not only offers incredible performance but also enhances practicality—an added bonus for this entry-level Lamborghini. The smaller engine frees up much-needed luggage space, making the Temerario more versatile without compromising its supercar essence. Together with the flagship Revuelto and the ever-popular Urus Super SUV, the Temerario completes Lamborghini’s electrified 2025 lineup, proving that the brand can embrace a high-tech future without losing its soul. In our DRIVE section, road tester Gabriel Vega Cortés shares his dramatic start to the New Year. As wildfires ravaged Los Angeles, forcing him to evacuate his home, he found a welcome distraction in the delivery of Hummer’s EV SUV. Gabriel recounts how this chunky electric vehicle offered him a momentary escape from the dreadful scenes, and a chance to reflect on the possibilities of EVs off the road, as well as on the highway. In the LIVE section, we sit down with former Daytona 500 Champion Trevor Bayne, now the head professional driver and ambassador at Tennessee’s Flatrock Motorclub. Trevor discusses his career transition and the exciting opportunities at this state-of-the-art facility. Finally, our SELL section brings you a curated selection of the finest exotic and luxury cars, alongside some of the rarest classic automobiles available on the market today.

duPont REGISTRY No. 477 – February 2025

This month’s cover star, the McLaren W1, is one of those automotive marvels that truly takes one’s breath away. Having just pipped Ferrari’s F80 to public launch, it must also have felt satisfying for the British marque to defeat the Prancing Horse to the Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship at the tail-end of 2024. As we head into this New Year, with a transition of power in government, the political temperature is white hot. I’ll share something Jay Leno quipped recently, which amused me, about Elon Musk joining Donald Trump’s administration, noting that he’d sold so many Teslas to liberal Californians, he thinks Elon is trying to persuade conservatives that they’re cool too! Buy Single Issue Subscribe But seriously, electrification is a huge topic in the automotive industry, and Jaguar’s bold all-electric range, due to start sales in 2026, can be viewed as a $1.9 billion gamble as it reinvents its brand. This traditionally right-leaning brand has undergone a massive shift, with its controversial marketing campaign (which prompted Musk to jibe ‘Do you sell cars?’), logo changes and Miami Art Week concept car launch. As I see it, Jaguar has concluded that not enough of its traditional base was buying its cars, to the point that it’s stopped selling new ones in the UK. Its reimagining campaign has annoyed loyalists, but so what if there isn’t a business case anymore? After the pearl-clutching outcry faded, what Jaguar has done is actually very smart… This daring design will appeal to a younger affluent demographic, including many professional sportsmen, which will boost its profile further. I can also see it attracting all genders; I don’t think it was by accident that it launched in both pink and blue! It’s whipped up huge media interest, very clearly stated its aims, and revealed a concept car that boasts lines not dissimilar to a Rolls-Royce, for likely less than half of the price. Speaking of which, be sure to check out Gabriel Vega Cortés’ road test of Rolls-Royces ultra-luxury Ghost Series II and Black Badge around the South of France. I spoke to Hollywood star Patrick Dempsey about his racing return and love affair with Porsche, and we also look at Alfa Romeo’s gorgeous 33 Stradale. Happy reading, and drive safely!

The arrival of a new Ferrari anniversary supercar is always something to behold: You’re guaranteed a scarlet automotive marvel that’ll knock your socks off if you ever got behind the wheel, featuring dramatic styling to go with its huge power output, and a reaction that spans the spectrum of usage for the words “Mamma Mia!” In this month’s cover story, Tyler Rampersaud dissects the technology-packed new F80. The numbers and specifications for this car are incredible, yet it’s endured a mixed reception by critics. It reminds me of what happened when the now iconic F40 was launched: The final road car personally approved by Enzo Ferrari, it’s become a renowned work of automotive art. But, back in the day, seasoned observers labeled it a cynical attempt to cash in on speculators’ money after seeing how much was paid for used 288 GTOs and declared it inferior to the Porsche 959. Buy Single Issue Subscribe The F40 featured a turbocharged V8 – and it’s another howl of disapproval that the F80 uses a V6 hybrid turbo engine, which produces a stunning 1,200 horsepower, but not the wonderful noise of a V12 of its predecessor, the LaFerrari. To me, just like the F40 was in 1987, the F80 feels a victim of its times. These criticisms will fade away. Another to carry the burden of an automotive legend is Bugatti’s Director of Design Frank Heyl. In our interview, he outlines to Gabriel Vega Cortés his ethos about what it takes to produce a timeless classic. In the DRIVE section, to complete our supercar set, we get behind the wheel of Pagani’s latest V12- powered offering, the Utopia. You’ll find our annual Aviation Guide in our LIVE section, which will help those looking to travel in luxury find the right solutions for their situation. Whether it be via charter, ownership, or even membership, we have something for everyone. And in SELL, you’ll simply have to check out Rogue Van Company, located in San Diego, CA, as its RC-1 rejects the familiar and embraces the conceptual. Happy reading, and drive safely!

Hello, everyone. Allow me to introduce myself: I’m Charles Bradley, the new editor-in-chief of duPont REGISTRY Group. I bring over 30 years of publishing experience on both sides of the Atlantic to this incredible magazine. My background is motorsports, so it’s fitting that our cover star this month is Steve McQueen’s very own Porsche 917K used in the filming of Le Mans, renowned as one of the greatest auto racing movies ever made.

Coming soon, this car will go across the auction block at Mecum’s 2025 Kissimmee auction. Will this highly sought-after beauty create a new record? Matt Avery gives you the lowdown on this one-of-a-kind racer that was also owned by Jerry Seinfeld!

Also, Gabriel Vega Cortés reviews the latest Ferrari Purosangue, the V12-powered machine from the Prancing Horse’s stable that’s romping along in the super SUV market. Keeping things Italian, we get exclusive insight from Lamborghini’s Product Line Director, Paolo Racchetti, as he guides us around the Temerario, Sant’Agata Bolognese’s latest 909 horsepower supercar from its high-performance electrified range.

The process of ordering a new Porsche is an in-depth and magical experience. Choosing the exterior color, interior materials, options, and so forth can keep just about anyone entertained for hours.
