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.

Sotheby Motorsport's Auction For This 230-Mile Lamborghin...

A chance to own a piece of supercar history. With a prominent position in Lamborghini's illustrious timeline of finely handcrafted Italian supercars, the Countach remains an icon as it continues to pave the way for future models. Designed by the great Marcelo Gandini and debuted in the automotive world in 1971, its legacy spanned from 1974 to 1990, with fewer than 1,900 examples ever produced. The team at Sotheby's Motorsport is pleased to present this collector-grade 1990 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Downdraft as part of its current online auctions. View Auction Listing Recognized as one of the final iterations of the Countach production in Sant'Agata, the 25th Anniversary also commemorated 25 years since Lamborghini's founding as a manufacturer. This specific example (Serial #KLA12072) was delivered new to Saudi Arabia sporting a Rosso Siviglia finish over Champagne leather. It has since only accumulated 370km (230 miles) before changing ownership in Monaco and ultimately making its way to the U.S. This stands out as one of the lowest mileage 25th Anniversary Countachs in the world and even features the rare and desirable 'rear wing delete option' from the factory. Even more impressive than its low mileage and showroom condition are the service records and factory extras that come along with the Countach from new, making it the complete package for a true Lamborghini purist. Items featured as part of the sale include three keys, owner's manuals, service books, period-correct literature, all records from previous ownership, factory tool kit and jack (in original packaging), bulb kit, and OEM O.Z. Racing spare wheel and tire. The 25th Anniversary Lamborghini Countach packs a monstrous 5.2-liter V12 engine that churns out 455 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a five-speed manual transmission that gives drivers a hands-on, old-school driving experience, the Countach sprints from 0 to 60 mph in around 4.7 seconds, with a top speed of 183 mph. Lamborghini fine-tuned this variant with improved aerodynamics and larger air intakes, helping it run cooler and perform better. As the final evolution of the iconic Countach, the 25th Anniversary makes for a memorable send-off of one of Lamborghini's most famous supercars.

Lamborghini Celebrates 50 Years Of The Legendary Countach

Lamborghini brings the legendary Countach LP 400 back to the production line, marking 50 years and setting the stage for the future. The Lamborghini Countach first roared to life in March 1974 at the Sant'Agata Bolognese factory. For 16 years, this groundbreaking supercar captivated car enthusiasts around the world while setting new standards in the luxury automotive industry. The Countach was the first Lamborghini with bodywork crafted entirely in-house, a revolutionary step that became a lasting tradition for the Italian manufacturer. To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Lamborghini has brought the original Countach LP 400 back to the very production line where it was born, now home to the all-new 1,001 horsepower hybrid Lamborghini Revuelto. The gesture bridges the past and present, highlighting the Countach's ongoing influence on Lamborghini's DNA. The Countach's journey began with its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 1971, where it was introduced as a concept car. Its overwhelming success quickly led to its production, with the LP 400 model hitting the market after three years of rigorous development and road testing. For the first time, Lamborghini produced the bodywork in-house, a significant shift from the previous practice of outsourcing to external coachbuilders. This move marked a turning point for Lamborghini, solidifying its place in the automotive world as a full-fledged car manufacturer capable of producing every element of its vehicles under one roof. Half a century later, the Countach's legacy continues with the Revuelto, Lamborghini's latest 12-cylinder plug-in hybrid car, which shares the same production site as the original Countach. Despite the evolution in technology, materials, and production methods, the connection between these two iconic Lamborghini models is unmistakable. The Revuelto, like the Countach, features a 12-cylinder engine in a longitudinal position and iconic scissor doors, a hallmark of Lamborghini V12s since the Countach. This continuity in design and engineering stresses Lamborghini's dedication to innovation while honoring its storied past. As the automotive world looks to the future, the Countach remains a symbol of Lamborghini's pioneering spirit. View all Lamborghini Countachs for sale on duPont REGISTRY by clicking the link below.

Lamborghini Reunites Cannonball Run Stars With The Iconic...

Lamborghini's movie star turns 45! To mark the 45th anniversary of the legendary Lamborghini Countach LP 400 S, Automobili Lamborghini reunited Adrienne Barbeau and Tara Buckman, the two actresses who drove this iconic car in the cult film "The Cannonball Run." This Countach, with its famous Nero exterior and Senape interior, was originally manufactured in November 1979 and shipped to a dealership in Rome. It journeyed to Florida, where it caught the eye of a friend of the movie's director, leading to its memorable cameo in the film. The Countach had been extensively modified for its role, featuring a new wing, full-beam headlights, a spoiler, multiple antennas, and a dozen exhaust pipes. After the movie, the Countach returned to its owner but kept its cinematic upgrades. In 2009, Jeff Ippoliti, a New York native and Florida resident, bought the car, fulfilling a childhood dream inspired by the movie's opening scene. Automobili Lamborghini "The Cannonball Run," based on the real-life cross-country race, featured an all-star cast including Roger Moore, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Jackie Chan. Adrienne Barbeau and Tara Buckman, playing the race's only all-female team, drove the Countach and captured audiences with their on-screen chemistry. The film's unforgettable three-minute police chase scene, featuring the roaring 12-cylinder engine of the Countach, cemented the supercar's status as a cultural icon. The Library of Congress recognized the Countach LP 400 S's significance, adding it to an exclusive list of cars that have shaped American history. Automobili Lamborghini During the anniversary celebration, Barbeau and Buckman reminisced about their experiences with the Countach. Neither actress had driven a Lamborghini before the film, making their memories even more special. The event, organized by Lamborghini Polo Storico, highlighted the brand's dedication to preserving its rich heritage and celebrated the lasting influence of the Countach on automotive culture. Reuniting the car with its original stars highlighted the legacy of both the Lamborghini Countach and The Cannonball Run.

Discover The Story Of The Surviving "Wolf of Wall Street"...

This legendary Lamborghini has quite the story of its own. The Lamborghini Countach is inescapably ubiquitous. For multiple generations of car enthusiasts, the Lamborghini Countach is one of the most iconic and desirable creations in the automotive world, and this was certainly true for Joe Eckart, who like many, discovered his passion for the Lamborghini Countach as a child in the pages of a magazine. The story of his incredible Countach was told on VINwiki's YouTube channel. It was from that point forward that Eckart decided to save money towards buying a Countach, and after years of saving, embark on a 5-year pursuit to buy one. The journey included looking at an incredible number of Countach examples to try buying one, including even the legendary Countach from the Cannonball Run film, until he received a call about a 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition in Florida. With a white exterior and a white leather interior, Eckart bought the car and drove it daily for years. After that, he was reached out to regarding the fact that Martin Scorsese was looking for a white-on-white 25th Anniversary Lamborghini Countach like his, of which Eckart says 8-10 were ever made, to film a movie, which would be Wolf of Wall Street. The film’s production offered to buy the car, in order to crash it, which ended up happening with a different car. Eckart refused, and the production agreed to rent the car. The car starred, alongside the one that was crashed, in the film, and became a legend of its own, with offers to buy the car pouring in. Eventually, once getting in and out of the car became difficult, and owning and driving it became less practical, Eckart reached out to CURATED to sell the car, and it sold for “well over a million dollars.” Now, the car is headed to auction in New York through RM Sotheby’s on December 8, where the story of a Countach with one of the most interesting stories a car could ever have will continue with a new chapter.

Lamborghini Polo Storico Displays The First Production 19...

Celebrating its 60th anniversary, Automobili Lamborghini is pulling out all the stops to make an impact at the 40th edition of the Auto e Moto d’Epoca classic car show. For the first time, the iconic Ialian supercar manufacturer will bring the event to its home province in Bologna, from October 26th to 29th. Lamborghini Polo Storico, the department dedicated to the brand's heritage, will be the main attraction, showcasing a lineup that includes two iconic models, the first Countach LP 400 produced and an Espada Series 3 under restoration. Started in 2015, Polo Storico is a reflection of Lamborghini's commitment to preserving its rich automotive and motorsport history. The department focuses on classic car restoration, certification of classic Lamborghini models up to the Diablo, and organizing events tailored for Lamborghini collectors. Their stand at the event promises a jaw-dropping display of Sant’Agata Bolognese’s automotive history, including the first-ever Countach LP 400. This red beauty, with chassis number 1120001, was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1973. The car became a myth of sorts until its rediscovery in Switzerland in 2003, where it was confirmed to be the original Countach after restoration works revealed its initial red paint underneath a layer of green. Also turning heads will be the Espada Series 3, chassis number 8824. Launched in 1968, the Espada was Lamborghini's first venture into the four-seater market. This particular Espada is still in the restoration phase and is presented as a work-in-progress, allowing attendees to see a masterpiece in the making. For those lucky enough to be in Bologna during the event, the Lamborghini stand is located in Hall 32 between the Costituzione and Aldo Moro entrances to Bologna Fiere. Doors open at 9 a.m., giving car enthusiasts and collectors a golden opportunity to immerse themselves in the legacy of one of the world's most storied car brands.
