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.

$25M Greenwich Estate Owned by Grey Goose Executive For Sale

Whether you’re soaking up the sun along South Florida’s coastline or tucked into the mountains of Colorado for winter ski season, every destination carries its own kind of beauty. Northeast living offers a slower, more grounded pace, where four seasons and scenic nature define everyday life, something Connecticut does naturally. That idea rings especially true for a magnificent Greenwich property, making recent real estate headlines, a 19-acre estate owned by a Grey Goose executive, now listed, and currently pending for $24,950,000 with Brown Harris Stevens.Located in one of the most affluent and exclusive areas in the United States, where numerous billionaires call home, 97 Pecksland Road was completed in 2009 and is now offered publicly for the first time. The home follows a classic Colonial approach, but it’s the natural setting that draws most of the appeal. A gated entrance opens to a long, winding drive, eventually revealing the main residence across 8.7 acres, with two additional lots bringing the total to just over 19. Inside, the layout leans into both formal and informal living, with a double-staircase foyer that sets the luxurious tone and spaces that shift easily from everyday use to large-scale entertaining.Beyond the standard three-car garage and motor court, the lower level is built to accommodate over 30 vehicles, turning it into more of a private showroom than simple storage. That same level houses a wine cellar, tasting room, and even a golf simulator, making it more like a separate living space altogether. The home includes multiple office spaces, guest suites, and a primary wing that opens out to views of the surrounding grounds.Outside, the estate continues with more amenities. A separate pool house with its own bedrooms and entertaining space sits alongside multiple pools and a spa, while additional buildings provide room for staff or extended stays. In a place like Greenwich, where land is increasingly limited, properties like this tend to stand apart not just for what they offer today, but for how rarely they come around at all.

Singer Reimagined’s Caballero Goes Titanium

Following the same meticulous approach of hand-crafting works of art as its automotive counterpart, Singer Reimagined's sole focus remains on combining timeless, iconic designs with modern mechanical thinking. While the small independent atelier operates as its own powerhouse, you can visualize how Singer Vehicle Design’s cars inspire its watches, almost pairing perfectly for a casual Sunday cruise. The same goes for Singer Reimagined’s newest titanium versions of the Caballero, allowing lightweight materials and precise movements to do the talking.The Caballero’s 39mm case is offered in Grade 5 titanium, which changes the watch's production process entirely. A micro-sandblasted finish softens the surface, while sharp, mirror-polished edges trace the Caballero’s signature C-shaped profile, adding contrast between matte and shine. It’s still compact, still wearable, just with a sharper touch of identity. Flip it over, and the open caseback showcases Singer’s Calibre 4 on center stage, a manually wound movement built from the ground up with a four-barrel architecture and a six-day power reserve.The dial continues that clarity and precision with two soft, matte-textured finishes, Cocoa Brown Velvet and Avio Blue Velvet, both of which retain the Caballero’s exposed-jewel display. Fitted with textile straps and leather accents, the Caballero Titanium is lighter on the wrist, a bit more defined, and still grounded in Singer Reimagined’s core DNA. The two new Singer Reimagined Caballero Titanium models are now available at authorized dealers, starting at CHF18’500 excluding VAT and tax.

Axopar Built the Boat Everyone Keeps Buying

In the ever-evolving marine world, some boats come and go with the trends, while others just keep showing up year after year. The Axopar 37 falls into that second category. For the second year in a row, it’s the best-selling outboard-powered boat in the 35–40 ft segment in the U.S., sourced by registration and retail data. In a market that’s only gotten more competitive with a number of new brands and boat builders, that consistency says more than any spec sheet ever could.Part of its success comes down to how widely it’s used. The Axopar 37 isn’t locked into one type of owner or one type of boating. It’s showcased as a weekend day boat, a long-range cruiser, a support vessel for larger yachts, and even in commercial or government roles. With thousands of units globally, it’s had a chance to prove itself in all kinds of conditions, which probably explains why resale values remain relatively strong and why buyers keep circling back to it.The hull is predictable in a good way, with stable handling across a wide range of speeds. It’ll cruise comfortably in the 20–40 knot range without burning through fuel at an unimaginable rate, which matters more now than it used to. The helm is straightforward, with good visibility and controls that don’t take much time to get used to. It focuses on being easy to live with, whether you’re out for a quick run or spending a full day onboard.Axopar’s design focuses on practicality, with spaces that can be set up for different uses without being overly complicated. Details like the gullwing doors actually change how the boat feels when you’re moving from bow to stern. For now, at least, the Axopar 37 seems content doing what it’s always done, holding its place while everything around it keeps changing.

Richard Mille Wraps RM 07-01 in Color and Gem-Set Ceramics

The Richard Mille RM 07-01 has always done things a little differently, and this final run of the Coloured Ceramics series is the best way to wrap it up. What started back in 2021 as an experiment with color and materials ends here with three exclusive versions, each limited to 50 pieces worldwide, that introduce gem-setting into the design without completely changing the recipe. It still looks and feels like the same eye-catching watch that took over the internet, just pushed a bit further in terms of detail and mechanics.A lot of the appeal of the RM 07-01 and Richard Mille watches as a whole comes down to how everything is layered together. The dials are as expressive as their colorways, combining guilloché, rubber appliqués, and ceramic characteristics in a balanced way. There’s a slightly retro influence in the color combinations, especially in the blush pink, lavender, and powder blue cases, but it doesn’t come off as forced. The gem-set bezels are probably the most noticeable update to the lineup, with diamonds and colored stones worked into the ceramic, which isn’t the easiest material to deal with in the first place.Underneath, movement mechanics stay consistent with what you’d expect from Richard Mille. The in-house CRMA2 movement is skeletonized, built from grade 5 titanium, and designed to be both lightweight and durable. It’s equipped with about a 50-hour power reserve, and the open layout gives you a clear view of how everything works. Like the rest of the watch, it’s modern yet rooted in traditional watchmaking. As a closing chapter, the Richard Mille RM 07-01 collection doesn’t try to reinvent anything. It just refines what was already there.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez's $15M Snapshot

As one of the most successful soccer stars and the most followed person on Instagram, with over 672 million followers, Cristiano Ronaldo has built an undeniably luxurious life for himself and his family. An avid collector of hypercars from Bugatti and a watch lover with direct ties to Jacob Arabo of Jacob & Co. himself, you can most definitely assume that Ronaldo has a specific taste for the finer things that life has to offer. Today, Cristiano Ronaldo and his fiancée, Georgina Rodríguez, may have taken things to another level, sharing what could be one of the most expensive snapshots ever posted on her Instagram, and their faces aren’t even in the photo. The setting takes place inside Cristiano’s $9 million Bugatti Centodieci, an exclusive hypercar limited to 10 examples commemorating Bugatti’s 110th anniversary. For the record, the only way we knew it was his Bugatti Centodieci is that neither of his other two Bugattis, a Veyron and a Chiron, features red leather interiors. The next show-stopping piece of the photo is Georgina’s massive $5 million engagement ring, which measures somewhere between 15 and 37 carats and is set in platinum. Then come the watches. For Cristiano, the most elevated version of the Patek Philippe Nautilus proved to be the perfect choice for an intimate date night out on the town. The Nautilus (ref. 5811/1460G-001) features a full white gold case and bracelet, and comes set with 1,285 brilliant-cut diamonds (6.43 cts) and 195 baguette-cut diamonds (13.27 cts), priced at $721,986. Georgina’s watch follows suit, a $788,066 full pavé Patek Philippe Nautilus (ref. 5980/1400G-010), totaling 893 brilliant-cut diamonds (4.44 cts) and 191 baguette-cut diamonds (15.64 cts). While it may not actually be the most expensive photo ever taken, basic quick math puts the candid shot at well over $15 million. All Bugatti Chiron Inventory Source: @georginagio Instagram

The Breitling Navitimer Pays Tribute to the Concorde Era

The Breitling Navitimer has had a strong connection to aviation for over 70 years, so it makes perfect sense to see it tied to one of the most recognizable aircraft ever built, the Concorde. Breitling’s latest limited edition ties itself into that shared history. Both the watch and the aircraft came out of a time when aviation was moving quickly, and there was a sense that limits didn’t really have a ceiling. Pairing the two is less of a marketing move and more about connecting two pieces of the same story.The Concorde itself still carries weight. Flying at twice the speed of sound and cruising at around 60,000 feet, it turned long-haul travel into something faster and, in many ways, more memorable. It wasn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it felt like an experience. That idea lines up pretty well with what the Navitimer represented when it first showed up in the early 1950s. Built as a functional tool for pilots, complete with a slide rule for in-flight calculations, it was designed to be used, not just worn. Over time, though, it picked up a broader following, crossing into motorsport, space exploration, and even music culture.This version keeps things fairly calm, cool, and collected. The blue dial takes its inspiration from the color of the sky at altitude, while the white subdials reference the Concorde’s “White Bird” nickname. It’s limited to 593 pieces, a small detail tied back to the aircraft’s engines. In a space where limited editions can sometimes feel forced, this one feels more about recognizing a specific moment in aviation history that still resonates today.

Shop The PUMA x Porsche Legacy 'Pink Pig' Collection

Some race liveries outlast the cars they were painted on, becoming shorthand for a moment in motorsport that refuses to fade. A certain color, pattern, or even nickname can carry decades of history, instantly recalling the car and the story behind it. That idea rings especially true for Porsche Motorsport and its unmistakable “Pink Pig” livery, now reimagined as the centerpiece of a new collection from PUMA in partnership with Porsche Legacy.First introduced to the world on the grid of the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Porsche 917/20’s unique ‘butcher’s cut’ livery, nicknamed “Sau” (German for pig), quickly became one of the most iconic racing designs ever. Porsche’s use of the bright pink colorway continued long after that point, making tribute appearances on other icons like the 2018 Porsche 911 RSR. Today, PUMA is proud to bring that legacy to the world of fashion with the all-new Porsche Legacy x PUMA SAU collection, honoring the spirit and competition of endurance racing. From hoodies and hats to sneakers, every piece pulls straight from the butcher-style cut-line graphics that made the original livery so memorable. Bold pink tones are paired with meticulous detail, combining classic motorsport cues with clean, modern styles. More than just a colorway, the collection taps into a moment when motorsport wasn’t afraid to break the mold and, in doing so, created something that still stands out today. Shop The Collection
