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.

Aston Martin & Setai Grupo GP Announce New Residential Project In Brazil

By Tyler Rampersaud – February 23, 2026

Aston Martin Announces Its First Residential Project In Brazil

After over a century of history, Aston Martin has become one of the most prominent and celebrated names in the world of automotive luxury, and more recently, Aston Martin has expanded by introducing its approach to luxury and design to real estate. With a private residence in Japan, a tower in Miami, and other projects across the globe, Aston Martin has elegantly lent its racing, luxury, and performance heritage to projects all over, and now, it’s coming to Brazil and South America for the first time. A new Aston Martin residential project was announced in Brazil in collaboration with Setai Grupo GP, the largest privately-held real estate developer in Brazil’s northeast. The new project is set to be a 45-story tower, which will make it one of the tallest buildings in the northeast of Brazil, with units ranging from 1,100 square feet to over 3,000 square feet. Its location will be in the city of João Pessoa, the largest city and capital of the Brazilian state of Paraíba. Paraíba is quickly becoming one of the country’s biggest hubs for growth. Setai Residences Interiors by Aston Martin will feature interiors with design led by Aston Martin, featuring elegant design, premium materials, and engineering reflective of Aston Martin’s historic automotive excellence. Meanwhile, the design of the tower will be set against the stunning tropical backdrop of João Pessoa’s beaches and diverse natural environments. As Aston Martin’s first residential project in both Brazil and South America, Setai is a strong partner for the storied luxury automotive manufacturer, with over 8,000 residential units delivered across its portfolio. With ultra-luxury heritage behind the design of its interiors, Setai Residences Interiors by Aston Martin in João Pessoa, Brazil, is set to be a new oasis for ultra-luxury automotive enthusiasts. duPont REGISTRY Realty Image Source: Aston Martin

Aston Martin Names Champagne Bollinger as Its Official Ch...

At this year’s Monterey Car Week, where Aston Martin revealed its lineup for its 75th anniversary celebration in the Americas, the brand also unveiled something unexpected. Alongside the cars, Aston Martin and Glenfiddich announced an exclusive collaboration. We were also part of an intimate tasting event and got to savor a limited-edition Scotch whisky crafted by Glenfiddich. Now, just weeks later, Aston Martin is once again doubling down on the lifestyle space with another strategic partnership announcement. The British marque has named Champagne Bollinger as its official champagne partner, bringing together two institutions that thrive on craftsmanship, exclusivity, and tradition. Bollinger, founded in 1829 in Aÿ, France, remains family-owned to this day and is fiercely protective of its methods. The House maintains more than 4,000 oak barrels using its own cooper, a level of control that ensures consistency. Aston Martin, founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin on Aston Hill, also follows that same playbook over in Gaydon, where key components of its cars are still put together by hand, the old-fashioned way, even as the marque expands into SUVs and hybrids, and hypercars. Both brands also carry Royal Warrants, and Bollinger has supplied the British Royal Household since 1884, adding credibility to this partnership. Aston Martin, of course, already has a long record of partnering with legacy houses, from luxury fashion to fine art. Now the benefit of such collaborations is a tightly controlled hospitality chain that reflects the same level of refinement as Aston’s high-end cars. You’ll experience it in the moment, whether at a dinner, a grid-side celebration, or while personalizing your next DBS or Vanquish through Q by Aston Martin. So, as the brand continues to curate an ecosystem that stretches well beyond cars, if you attend a private Aston Martin launch or one of its track experiences in the future, Bollinger will now be the champagne of choice moving forward.

Tasted: Aston Martin’s New Formula 1 Team Scotch Whisky b...

Rather than unveiling a new ultra-exclusive model at Monterey Car Week this year, Aston Martin instead took the opportunity to announce a new spirits partnership with the Scotch distillery Glenfiddich. The initial press preview revealed a whisky almost as exclusive as Aston’s Valhalla hypercar, a 48-year-old European oak sherry cask expression limited to just 50 bottles worldwide. But alongside this collector’s edition, Glenfiddich also plans to release a more accessible—and drinkable—scotch to celebrate the official partnership with the Aston Martin F1 team, a 16-year-old single malt bedecked in the race team’s iconic dark Almond Green label. Ahead of the announcement, Aston invited me to the brand’s customer hospitality house on the Monterey Peninsula to taste Glenfiddich’s latest lineup. And where most promotional efforts of this type tend to rely on brand-name recognition rather than quality, I can confidently report that the 16-year-old F1 bottle actually stood out as my favorite bottle. Other than, of course, the capstone of a 30-year-old dram known as “Suspended time” due to not just the bottle’s presentation but also the sheer complexity of a whiskey that’s been aged for so long. Glenfiddich’s enviable reputation as one of the Scotch industry’s only family-owned distilleries goes a long way toward explaining why the F1 bottle might be a fan favorite. The company’s 12-year-old is actually the best-selling single malt on the planet, but certainly lacks some of the maturity of older bottlings aged in a mix of various casks—a process that Glenfiddich actually pioneered decades ago. Sure, finding the 12-year-old at any corner liquor store might be easy. But stepping up to just the 14-yo makes a huge difference, adding hints of spice thanks to a finishing process that relies on American oak casks. A 15-year-old Solera vat-style Scotch from Glenfiddich adds multiple different whiskies from various years, in a similar fashion to a sourdough starter—the oldest hailing from back in 1983. More accurately, this method borrowed from Spanish sherry bodegas only lets a vat reach half empty (or is it half full) before another batch of later 15-year-old new mash is mixed in. The resulting whisky remains dry and light, but with a surprising depth of character to the finish. I also sampled the Glenfiddich 18, a more refined and quintessential Speyside region age statement that rolls over the tongue as smooth as butter, as well as a 21-year-old bottle finished in Caribbean rum casks that add hints of plantain and caramel to the palate. The 23-year-old Grand Cru, meanwhile, borrows casks from the Champagne region of France, which results in a buttery smoothness almost reminiscent of a California Chardonnay. But among the lineup, I kept returning to the Aston Martin F1 bottle. Despite a relatively young age statement of just 16 years, the combination of American oak, bourbon, and wine casks produces a delicate hint of brown sugar contrasted by clear fruits and mild maple syrup texture despite the 43% ABV strength. The taste of blackcurrants then lingered on for a few minutes, which only made me a bit more—ahem—thirsty to try another pour. This new partnership for Aston leaves the Islay-based distillery Bowmore behind, which I can admit comes as something of an unfortunate announcement, given how much that partnership appeared to reach full maturity with a truly peppy cask-strength 22-year-old that I tasted just late last year. But marketing efforts for both Aston Martin, the car company, and the F1 team make sense for a team-up with the world’s largest Scotch distillery. Expect to see the new label on liquor store shelves starting in September. And at just $75 per bottle, the new 16-year-old manages to simultaneously impress with flavor, refinement, and value, a true rarity in today’s increasingly excessive Scotch industry.

British Icons Unite at Monterey: Aston Martin and Glenfid...

Aston Martin and Glenfiddich have made a bold statement at the 2025 Monterey Car Week. Two of Great Britain’s most celebrated brands are joining forces in a global partnership that builds upon Glenfiddich’s work with the Aston Martin Formula One Team, which is now expanding into lifestyle and luxury experiences. At the heart of this collaboration is a rare release, Glenfiddich’s 1976 Single Malt Scotch Whisky, aged 48 years and finished in a hand-selected European oak sherry cask. Malt Master Brian Kinsman has personally curated the cask. “This exceptional cask was not selected for its vintage year alone, but for the era it represents; the transformative mid-1970s, a defining period that marked the beginning of Glenfiddich’s modern era and helped shape the whisky’s character for generations to come. The whisky matured in a refill sherry cask before being moved into a 100 litre (26.41 gallons) European oak sherry cask built by one of our coopers.” - Brian Kinsman, Malt Master at Glenfiddich. The mid-1970s, of course, marked a transformative period for both brands. Glenfiddich modernized its production and introduced the iconic stag’s head, whereas Aston Martin was redefining design and performance at the time, in the wake of Bond cars and coach-built specials. If you’ve ever wondered what decades of craftsmanship taste like, the 1976 Single Malt offers a clear answer. Glenfiddich describes it as follows: on the nose, you’ll find red berry sweetness, soft spices, and crumbly butter pastry. The palate layers dry oak tannins, stewed fruits, and toasted wood. The finish lingers with sweet oak spice that sticks with you. Stefano Saporetti, Aston Martin’s Director of Brand Diversification, highlighted the potential for immersive experiences, and if you follow the luxury space closely, this raises a question: how far will collaborations like this shape the way you experience premium brands? If you’re attending Monterey this year, besides checking out the spectacular lineup of Aston Martin sports cars and supercars on display, including the new Thrillseeker Collection, make sure to also stop by The House of Aston Martin to savor this unique collaboration. If you want a bottle, do note that the Glenfiddich 1976 will be available exclusively through The Distillers Library and The Glenfiddich Distillery, with worldwide availability limited to just 50 bottles.
