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.

A grey Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut with "World Record Car" text on the door speeds along a racetrack, set against a grassy landscape and cloudy sky, reflecting its 0-250-0 MPH world record capabilities.

By Jordan Aquistapace – August 12, 2025

Watch The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Reclaim The 0-250-0 MP...

Thanks to Koenigsegg's “Absolut Overdrive” software. Koenigsegg has taken back the official 0–400–0 km/h world record, with the Jesko Absolut posting a new best time of 25.21 seconds at Sweden’s Örebro airfield on August 7th, 2025. Factory driver Markus Lundh was behind the wheel of the Jesko, improving on the same car’s 2024 run thanks to its updated “Absolut Overdrive” software. These technical tweaks are set to make their way into customer cars, fine-tune the Jesko Absolut’s drivetrain and traction control, and help it deliver its performance more effectively. The track condition wasn’t perfect, with the tarmac drying after early rain. However, the combination of the twin-turbo 5.0L V8, low-drag aero, and smarter grip management still delivered the fastest time for a fully road-legal production car. The new numbers show just how quick the car is. The Jesko Absolut hit 400km/h in 16.77 seconds and got back to a standstill in 8.44, adding up to the 25.21-second total for the 0–400–0 km/h run. Measured in miles per hour, it managed 0–250–0 mph in 25.67 seconds, cutting more than two and a half seconds off its previous record of 27.83. For Koenigsegg, the run was a way to test changes that will soon be in the hands of owners. “Absolut Overdrive” is the result of months of back-and-forth between engineers, software teams, and test drivers, finding ways to make the car more controllable without losing its edge. While the record itself might grab the headlines, it’s the process that shows how the Jesko Absolut continues to evolve. View All Koenigsegg Hypercars For Sale " width="680"> Source: Koenigsegg

Christian von Koenigsegg Reveals A 1-of-1 Agera R Reimagi...

When it’s Christian von Koenigsegg himself (CVK) giving us a tour of a car, you ought to stop and listen in. The founder of the Swedish hypercar maker recently unveiled a singular reinterpretation of a Agera R on Instagram, calling it a “very cool project” that’s been quietly evolving behind the scenes for almost a year now. As a quick primer, the Koenigsegg Agera R built on the standard Agera and was introduced back in 2011 and even for its time had some serious performance figures to boast. A 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 1,140 horsepower on E85 ethanol and a 0 to 60 mph dash in under 3.0 seconds and a theoretical top speed north of 270 miles per hour. @supervettura @supervettura Built with featherweight carbon fiber (3,164 pounds) and bristling with bleeding-edge engineering for its time, including innovative Aircore carbon wheels and triplex suspension system, the Agera R helped cement Koenigsegg’s place in the hypercar hierarchy. Now, over a decade later, this rare example has been given a thorough once-over by Koenigsegg’s own in-house skunkworks team: the Legends Division. Conceived to restore, reimagine, and re-engineer past Koenigsegg models and bring them up to modern standards, the Legends Division, in their latest project, has collaborated with Koenigsegg’s official U.K. dealer, SuperVettura, to create this bespoke customer comission one-off Agera R that blurs the line between old-school and modern, within the Koenigsegg universe. @supervettura Step inside, and the transformation is unmistakable. Gone is the original interior (which wasn’t a bad place to begin with) and in its place, an even sportier full black Alcantara wrap-around cockpit, complete with matte carbon interior, the One:1-style carbon bucket seats and six-point harnesses. The center console now also features a newly machined keyholder, and the instrument cluster draws inspiration from the equally stunning CC850’s retro chronograph layout. There’s even a custom-embroidered emblem stitched into the center armrest, which is a subtle nod to this car’s unique status. Outside, every exposed metal component wears a DLC (diamond-like carbon) finish against the dark green exterior with red accents. Technically speaking, DLC is a form of amorphous carbon that combines diamond’s hardness with graphite’s lubricity. The result? A surface that’s incredibly durable, corrosion-resistant, and sleek. Von Koenigsegg summed it up simply: “It looks very contemporary, like it could be made today” and that’s the point. With projects like this, the Legends Division is quietly bringing back older Koenigsegg models up to modern standards, and there’s no doubt that there will be more to follow.

A sleek black hypercar with a large rear wing is shown under dramatic lighting, highlighting its aerodynamic design and sporty features—Farewell Jesko, enter the Spear.

Farewell Jesko: Enter Track-Focused 1625 HP Koenigsegg Sa...

Koenigsegg dropped several teasers since last weekend, and we knew something extreme was coming. But the wait is now finally over as the Swedish hypercar maker has announced the Sadair's Spear. Unveiled at the Gotland Ring, a fitting venue for its shakedown, the Sadair’s Spear is Koenigsegg’s most track-focused road car yet. It set a record time of 2:55 minutes around the Gotland Ring (1.1 seconds quicker than before). A vicious evolution built to honor the outgoing Jesko, it opens the next chapter of the company’s relentless pursuit of creating high-performance exotics. The name Sadair's Spear isn’t just dramatic, but one that is deeply personal to Koenigsegg. It is a nod to the final 1976 racehorse owned by Jesko von Koenigsegg, Christian’s father and namesake of the outgoing model. With Jesko production ending in 2024, this car is both a farewell and a bold introduction to the next chapter. View this post on Instagram A post shared by KOENIGSEGG (@koenigsegg) The upgrades begin with aerodynamics. The car features new rocker louvers, longer underfloor strakes, and a massive dual-element rear wing (still mounted on the rear engine cover) that adds 20 percent more downforce, while cutting drag by five percent. Even the iconic carbon fiber turbine-style aircore wheels, first seen on the Agera S, return. Now tailored uniquely for each corner, they suck air from under the car, adding cooling and downforce in equal measure. You can't miss the prominent dive planes on the front bumper. Cooling received a major overhaul too, with a 30 percent overall improvement, thanks to a larger hood vent, new rear intakes, and an additional oil radiator. As for power, the Sadair's Spear packs a 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8, which produces 1,300 horsepower on 95-octane fuel, and 1,625 horsepower on E85, figures that put it toe-to-toe with some of the most extreme hypercars out there. A few more things worth noting are carbon ceramic brakes with upgraded pads, a self-leveling suspension setup with revised dampers and springs. “Perfection is a moving target. There’s always one step further. That’s what Koenigsegg is about.” - Christian von Koenigsegg (CVK) While others like the Bugatti Bolide are stripped-out track-only cars, the Sadair's Spear is not a stripped-down racer. The Spear not only retains the flat-plane crank V8 and the nine-speed Light Speed Transmission from the Jesko but also keeps creature comforts like power seats, stereo, AC, airbags, and Koenigsegg’s signature Autoskin system, which opens all panels electronically with a keyfob click. Test driver Marcus Lundh, grinning behind the wheel during a demo lap, raved about the car’s stability. “You can take corners bumpy as hell, and it just sticks. One hand on the wheel, and it flows. It’s planted. It rotates. It dances.” The car is fitted with Michelin Cup 2 and Cup 2 R tires, with 275mm up front and 335mm out back, helping it channel every ounce of that monstrous power. With this first shakedown at Gotland complete, Koenigsegg hasn’t announced a Nürburgring time yet, but the intent is clear. Production is strictly limited to just 30 examples, with each costing £3.8 million ($5.17 million), all of which have been spoken for and sold to Koenigsegg's most loyal customers.

Koenigsegg Teases Track-Focused Hypercar Ahead Of June 25...

Over the weekend, Koenigsegg released a pair of teasers of what appears to be a more extreme variant of its already extreme Jesko. To recap, the Jesko, which debuted in 2019 and priced from $3 million, is available across two production variants: the wingless Absolut, optimised for straight line-speed (Koenigsegg claims over 300 mph), and the Attack, which is designed to take on the race track. Going by the teasers, the model set to debut on June 25 could be an even more track-focused variant of the Swedish hypercar. The first teaser reveals a rear wing, which bears a striking resemblance to the Jesko Attack’s dual-plane spoiler, suggesting that this variant could be all about lap times. The standard Jesko already produces 1,400 kg (3,086 pounds) of downforce at 170 mph. Other interesting details seen in the teaser include a vertically mounted stop lamp and a flush-mounted NACA duct upfront, ideal for cooling components like the radiator and brakes, with minimal aerodynamic disturbance. While the exact performance numbers are still under wraps, the current Jesko packs a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that produces 1,280 horsepower (1,600 horsepower on E85) and 1,106 pound-feet of torque. Paired with Koenigsegg’s 9-Speed Light Speed Transmission, power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels. Now, with this upcoming new track-oriented variant, expect lower top speed but faster lap times. Could this be a stripped-out, limited-run special with more grip, more cooling, and a chassis dialed in for surgical precision, perhaps dubbed the Jesko Attack+? Whatever Koenigsegg has in store, we’ll find out in a few days from now. Watch this space.

Zagato AGTZ Twin-Tail #2 Joins Christian von Koenigsegg's...

When Christian Von Koenigsegg, founder, innovator, and the man behind some of the most extreme hypercars in the world, like the CCX, Jesko, and Gemera, adds a car to his personal collection, it ought to be something truly special, and this one indeed is. This is Koenigsegg’s latest acquisition, the Zagato AGTZ Twin-Tail. Conceived by the famed Milanese coachbuilder and Poland-based La Squadra, and limited to just 19 examples, we first saw the AGTZ in February last year, and the example seen here is #2 off the line. Based on the contemporary mid-engined Alpine A110, you get a 1.8-liter turbo-four cylinder with 252 horsepower, top-drawer driving dynamics, but the body is completely bespoke, redone in carbon fiber over a 1,000-hour build process. Design details include a cleaner nose with teardrop headlights and Zagato’s signature double-bubble roof. While 19 colors, nine liveries, and paint-to-sample options are available, this particular car has been finished in Alpine’s striking racing color of blue with white roundels and embellishments of the French flag on the roof and extended tail. But this coach-built masterpiece packs a split personality of being both a long-tail high-speed racer and a more nimble and agile, short-tail cruiser. Unbolt the lightweight rear section, and the car transforms both visually and aerodynamically, going from 15.7 feet to 14.0 feet. The car is a tribute to Alpine’s wild 1969 A220 Le Mans race car prototype, more specifically chassis #1731. Back in the day, the French marque’s engineers came up with a radical solution of hacking off the tail to make the A220 competitive in hill climbs. Koenigsegg has even owned humble performance cars like the Mazda MX-5, Tesla Model S and Toyota GR Yaris, along with several models that bear his own name, but the Swedish hypercar maker’s bespoke commission is especially noteworthy as it goes to show that the man is not all about only chasing high-speed world records, but also someone who celebrates the art of boutique manufacturing and a has a real appreciation for cars built by hand the old-fashioned way.

Koenigsegg Shows Off Its First Jesko Absolut Client Spec ...

The first client Jesko Absolut rolls off Koenigsegg's production line. Christian Von Koenigsegg took his brand from a cool Swedish startup to a hypercar legend in style. It all began with the CC8S, where he showed the world what happens when you mix Swedish precision with a passion for pushing the boundaries of performance. Then came the $3 million Jesko Absolut, and bam, Koenigsegg was setting the rules, offering a blend of speed, luxury, and an ultra-lightweight design that's hard to beat. Koenigsegg took to its Instagram today to proudly present the first-ever client specification Jesko Absolut, showcasing a stunningly bespoke configuration that gives it a menacing appearance. The Jesko Absolut features a full KNC (Koenigsegg Naked Carbon) body with a 'Spirit of Performance' Ghost design intricately worked into the hardtop and sweeps stylishly over the back, blending right into its bare carbon. The build comes optioned with a bunch of unique, personal touches that are cleverly woven into its race-inspired framework, giving it that extra edge that demands road and track presence. Vibrant red carbon ceramic brakes, carbon aero wheel disks, and ghost badging add the perfect pop of color to its full-carbon body. Inside, the Jesko Absolut's driver-centric cabin is littered with exposed carbon fiber that mirrors its exterior. The headrest of each Alacantara carbon bucket seat is stitched with a commemorative "Le Mans" design. The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut packs a monstrous 5.0L twin-turbo V8 engine that generates a mind-blowing 1600 horsepower on E85 fuel. As the Jesko Absolut makes its way into full production mode, the automotive world cannot wait to see some of the upcoming specs.
