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.

The Ferrari Pirelli Cinetica Design Concept

The last design we saw from him featured classic styling in an aquatic form, but a new design concept from Fraser Leid's is better suited to time on solid ground.The Ferrari Pirelli Cinetica Racing Bike is, essentially, what Leid believes a cycling-based collaboration between Ferrari and Pirelli could look like. But it also shows a bicycle with innovative mechanics that would make it a worthy contender to bear the Ferrari and Pirelli names.Its inspiration came from watching the Tour de France, when Leid decided to find a way to recover and store energy expended by the cyclist, then utilize it at a later point in time."While peddling, the carbon and steel wheel rotates around a circular brush. This causes an electric direct current to build, which feeds into a capacitor located at the bottom of the frame," describes the design's caption on Leid's digital portfolio. "When demanded by the rider, the stored charge is used on a motor located at the front of the frame.... This energy feedback system allows the rider an opportunity to rest while the bike propels itself."A carbon fiber composition with hints of titanium would keep the bicycle's weight down, while housing of all cables and brakes internally keeps drag down and increases aerodynamic abilities. But beauty, as well as efficiency, guided the design process for this concept. A perfect example of form and function meeting beautifully comes in the handlebars. They allow for three grip choices while also adding to the ferocity of this bike's overall appearance."I wanted its stance to be fast and aggressive, but I also wanted it to look sleek and lightweight to the eye," Leid described. "In the end, it has something animalistic to its traits."Check out the gallery below to see a little more of this Ferrari Pirelli design concept, and find your own existing Ferrari from our exclusive listings.

The 3D Printed De Rosa SK Pininfarina Racing Bicycle

Pininfarina has announced another partnership in the world of transportation, but owning this creation will demand a little more leg work than most of their designs do.On Aug. 26, Pininfarina joined De Rosa, an Italian creator of fine bicycles, at Eurobike, Germany's bicycle trade fair, to announce their partnership and new creation. The De Rosa SK Pininfarina was introduced the same day as the partnership, showing an absolutely stunning racing bike embodying the design ideals of both companies.A press release issued by Pininfarina the same day shared some of the information behind this collaboration, as well as the reasons driving the two companies together. As they call it, it's the "perfect synthesis of two icons of Made-in-Italy excellence," and excellent it certainly is.Sleek, streamlined and designed to eliminate as much drag as possible, the De Rosa SK Pininfarina racing bicycle is available in different sizes and colors, all crafted from carbon. An "ultra-precision 3-D printing" process combined with the use of "a special resin" helped ensure the frame of the bike is both as stiff and as light weight as possible. But in ensuring that stiffness, comfort has not been sacrificed.Of course, such a creation could be expected from the collaboration of two companies that so clearly embody the same values: "family-owned business traditions, a passion for innovation, incessant search for better performance, artisanal production methods and attention to detail, love for beauty and design."Photos shared on Pininfarina's Facebook page Aug. 26 and 28, as well as on De Rosa's website alongside purchasing information, give us a look at this stunning design. Check it out on the gallery below, and learn more about how one of these stunning bicycles can become yours by visiting www.DeRosaNews.com.Gallery (Source: Pininfarina, De Rosa) See More Lifestyle News

Bowers & Wilkins Releases New Custom Installation Speakers

Your home theater is set for a full sonic upgrade once Bowers & Wilkins' new speakers make their way into your home. The CCM Cinema 7 Speakers from Bowers & WilkinsFrom the United Kingdom's storied creator of impressive speakers comes three new options for visibly discrete but aurally powerful sound. As a July press release from the company tells us, these speakers can easily be installed by the purchaser, or quickly by a professional. The bezel and magnetic metal grilles can be customized to match the decor, while the grilles themselves are available in either a round or square shape.While all three are able to equally deliver a clean, clear and balanced listening experience, they do so in their own ways, each better suited to a specific location in or on the ceilings or walls.Left, center and right speaker positions in the ceiling are best suited to the CCM Cinema 7. Priced at $700 each, they are best suited to conveying clear dialogue and special effects. They're truly ideal for a large home theater system where you're not afraid of a loud volume. The CCM632 Speakers from Bowers & WilkinsThe CCM632 speakers, priced at $250 each, are also mounted in the ceiling, but are designed to fit into a small space at only 6 inches in diameter. But despite their size, they were crafted to convey a well-balanced sound, a difficult feat for such a small system that doesn't require a subwoofer. Both the CCM632 and CCM Cinema 7 speakers will be available for purchase in August of this year.If mounting in the ceiling isn't quite an option, but you're still interested in a full surround sound experience, the CWM Cinema 7 speakers are designed to be wall-mounted near the screen. Whether above, below or to the side, these convey every line of dialogue and each fantastic explosion of whatever movie you're watching that night. Pricing is set at $850 apiece, and they will be available for sale beginning in September.Take a moment to get a closer look at each of these speaker options, and to learn more about adding one of these Bowers & Wilkins masterpieces to your home, be sure to visit www.bowers-wilkins.com.Gallery (Source: Bowers & Wilkins) See More Lifestyle News
