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.

duPont REGISTRY 40th Anniversary - Cover Cars: 2000

After 40 years, duPont REGISTRY’s cover cars capture moments in automotive history. This year, duPont REGISTRY, the source for supercars since 1985, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. In that time, some of the world’s most desirable, iconic, and influential luxury and exotic cars have graced the cover of our magazine over the past 40 years, and together, the cover cars of duPont REGISTRY’s hundreds of monthly issues tell a story of automotive history and its evolution since the ‘80s. Looking back at duPont REGISTRY’s cover cars from the year 2000, some serious nostalgia is stirred up for any automotive enthusiast, and each year, a cover car shows an iconic moment of the past, when a car we see as a classic today was the hottest new creation on the market. Take a trip down memory lane and look at our 2000 magazine covers below, seeing what the luxury and exotic car world had to offer at the dawn of the new millenium, and continue to celebrate our milestone anniversary by buying a copy of our special 40th anniversary edition magazine. Buy Our 40th Anniversary Issue January - Pagani Zonda C12 For Pagani, this was the supercar that began a legacy. After working for Lamborghini, Horacio Pagani decided to create his own supercar with unique design and the ambitious use of carbon fiber, a bold innovation at the time. The result was the Zonda C12, a Mercedes-Benz V12-powered masterpiece with bold looks that would spur an incredible legacy of supercars and hypercars from Pagani that we know today. To start off the new millenium, the Zonda C12 starred on duPont REGISTRY's January 2000 cover. February - Shelby Cobra Alongside the Super X motorcycle from the revived Excelsior-Henderson of the late '90s, the ever-iconic Shelby Cobra was the star of our February 2000 "Choices" cover. March - BMW Z8 BMW's premier roadster of the early 2000s, the Z8, is still celebrated today as a cherished and collectible piece of automotive excellence, and it served as the March 2000 cover star of duPont REGISTRY. 4.0.3 April - Porsche 911 Turbo The 996 Porsche 911 Turbo was the cover star of the April 2000 duPont REGISTRY, continuing a tradition of Porsche 911s starring as the cover of April Anniversary issues and celebrating the 15th Anniversary cover. May - Dodge Viper GTS-R A crown jewel of American performance and muscle car legacy in its time, the V10-powered Dodge Viper's GTS-R racing-bred variant was the cover star of the May 2000 issue of duPont REGISTRY. 4.0.3 June - Jaguar F-Type Concept The production version of the Jaguar F-TYPE, 25 years after this cover, has officially bowed out. The powerful, driver-focused sports car sensation looked very different when this concept car wore its name in 2000, starring on the June 2000 cover of duPont REGISTRY. July - Chevrolet Corvette Yet again, July 2000 sees a Corvette on the cover of duPont REGISTRY, this time a yellow C5 with its targa top open. August - Ferrari 360 Spider An open-top icon from the Prancing Horse, both the front and rear angles of the Ferrari 360 Spider are showcased on the cover of duPont REGISTRY's August 2000 issue. September - Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 Combining a larger 6.0-liter engine with the VT's all-wheel drive, the Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 was the model that would help the Diablo bow out, giving way to a Murciélago that was under development at the time. The elegant conclusion to the Diablo era was the cover star of duPont REGISTRY's September 2000 issue. October - Mercedes-Benz C 320, CLK 430, CL 600 A selection of Mercedes-Benz models was on display on the October 2000 cover of duPont REGISTRY, including the C 320, Mercedes-Benz's smart V6-powered executive sedan at the time, the CLK 430, its elegant cabriolet, and its top-of-the-line pillarless coupe, the CL 600. November - BMW Z9 Concept This bold-looking concept from BMW was quite a departure from what the manufacturer was doing at the time, including the use of eye-catching gullwing doors. Starring on the November 2000 cover of duPont REGISTRY, the Z9 not only foretold BMW's forthcoming design language for the 2000s, but more prominently served as a precursor for what would become the 6 Series grand touring coupe. 4.0.3 December - Porsche Carrera GT Concept It wouldn't be until a few years later that Porsche would introduce the production version of the Carrera GT, thanks to this concept version of the Porsche flagship supercar and 959 successor being well received and Porsche growing significantly thanks to the introduction of the Cayenne. However, the Carrera GT Concept still starred on the December 2000 cover of duPont REGISTRY, and the $350,000 price listed on the cover is a far cry from the prices of Carrera GT examples on the second-hand market today. Our special 40th anniversary issue is out now! Along with everything that makes each duPont REGISTRY issue a must-read, this special commemorative issue features looks back on duPont REGISTRY's history, like a look back on our covers throughout the decades, and a retrospective look at Ferrari's halo car legacy.

In that time, some of the world’s most desirable, iconic, and influential luxury and exotic cars have graced the cover of our magazine over the past 40 years, and together, the cover cars of duPont REGISTRY’s hundreds of monthly issues tell a story of automotive history and its evolution since the ‘80s. Looking back at duPont REGISTRY’s cover cars from the year 1997, some serious nostalgia is stirred up for any automotive enthusiast, and each year, a cover car shows an iconic moment of the past, when a car we see as a classic today was the hottest new creation on the market. Take a trip down memory lane and look at our 1997 magazine covers below, and continue to celebrate our milestone anniversary by buying a copy of our special 40th anniversary edition magazine. Buy Our 40th Anniversary Issue January - Dodge Viper The V10-powered and classic-inspired Dodge Viper was duPont REGISTRY's January 1997 cover star, early on in building its now-legendary legacy. February - Acura NSX, Triumph Daytona The iconic Acura NSX, with its incredible agility and mid-mounted V6 powertrain sits alongside a Triumph Daytona motorbike in February 1997 "Choices" cover.

July - Chevrolet Corvette C5 The C5 generation of the Corvette, one of the most iconic generations of the world-class American performance car, was the July 1997 cover star of duPont REGISTRY, and it would go down in history as one of the last production cars to feature pop-up headlights. August - Ferrari 550 Maranello Ferrari's 550 Maranello is an icon with a front-mounted V12 engine sending power to the rear wheels. Still a celebrated car today, it served as the August 1997 cover star of duPont REGISTRY.

Years and generations later, it was reintroduced to the market as the GLE, which it is still known as today. November - Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster The open-top variant of the all-wheel drive Lamborghini Diablo VT sat at the center of our November 1997 issue, surrounded by other covers as part of a celebratory 150th issue cover. 4.0.3 December - RUF CTR2 Instead of a Porsche, December 1997 saw the groundbreaking Porsche 911-based RUF CTR 2 grace the cover of duPont REGISTRY, complete with skis mounted to its roof rack.

duPont REGISTRY 40th Anniversary - Cover Cars: 1996

After 40 years, duPont REGISTRY’s cover cars capture moments in automotive history. This year, duPont REGISTRY, the source for supercars since 1985, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. In that time, some of the world’s most desirable, iconic, and influential luxury and exotic cars have graced the cover of our magazine over the past 40 years, and together, the cover cars of duPont REGISTRY’s hundreds of monthly issues tell a story of automotive history and its evolution since the ‘80s. Looking back at duPont REGISTRY’s cover cars from the year 1996, some serious nostalgia is stirred up for any automotive enthusiast, and each year, a cover car shows an iconic moment of the past, when a car we see as a classic today was the hottest new creation on the market. Take a trip down memory lane and look at our 1996 magazine covers below, and continue to celebrate our milestone anniversary by buying a copy of our special 40th anniversary edition magazine. Buy Our 40th Anniversary Issue January - Lamborghini Diablo "VTTT" Two extra "t"s designate the fact that this Lamborghini on the January 1996 cover of duPont REGISTRY is something truly special. An example of the all-wheel drive Diablo VT, something rare in the world of supercars at the time, the twin-turbo upgrade given to this specific Diablo gives it hair-raising performance. February - BMW Z3 BMW's legendary Z3, an icon of beauty and fun-to-drive character, starred on duPont REGISTRY's February 1996 cover, already building its legacy as a weekend driving masterpiece. March - Mercedes-Benz SL Presented with "choices" in March 1996, the cover of duPont REGISTRY begs the question: would you rather drive a stunning '90s Mercedes-Benz SL, or a classic-inspired motorcycle? 4.0.3 April - Porsche 911 The Porsche 911 was solidified as an April, or Anniversary Issue staple for the cover of duPont REGISTRY in 1996, and this gorgeous 993-generation Porsche 911 set against rows of palm trees is no exception. May - Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster The all-wheel drive, open-top flagship supercar roadster from Lamborghini, the Diablo VT Roadster, was shown off with front and rear three-quarter shots on our May 1996 cover. 4.0.3 June - Ferrari F40 Emblazoned with the signature of baseball star Reggie Jackson, the legendary Ferrari F40 is shown off on our June 1996 cover, a cherished and mythical example of Ferrari's performance engineering mettle. July - Chevrolet Corvette Kitted in matching patriotic liveries, the Corvette in two different ears is shown off on our July 1996 cover, as was par for the course. August - Ferrari Testarossa Both eras of the Ferrari Testarossa nomenclature are shown on our August 1996 cover, both the historic racer and the retro supercar, that, while discontinued by the time the cover debuted, was already an icon like any Ferrari. September - Jaguar XK8 An icon of Jaguar's grand touring luxury at the time, the incredibly elegant XK8, whose sleek design still holds up today in a way not dissimilar to the legendary E-type, was the cover star of duPont REGISTRY's September 1996 cover. October - Vector Avtech WX-3 Successor to the infamous Vector W8, America's incredibly ambitious groundbreaking supercar, the WX-3 prototype never made it to series production and only saw two examples made. Nevertheless, it's depicted with a patriotic livery on our October 1996 cover. November - Bentley Continental T Bentley's ultra-luxurious British excellence took over the November 1996 cover of duPont REGISTRY, with the historic brand's Continental T gracing the cover. 4.0.3 December - Porsche Boxster A different kind of Porsche graces the December 1996 cover of duPont REGISTRY than the typical 911s of years past: the Boxster. Introduced that year in 1996, the Boxster introduced a new era of mid-engined Porsche sports cars to the fray, with a design that would eventually be echoed on the eventual 996 911 that would end the air-cooled 911 era. That era of mid-engined Porsche sports cars is only ending now, lasting nearly 30 years. Our special 40th anniversary issue is out now! Along with everything that makes each duPont REGISTRY issue a must-read, this special commemorative issue features looks back on duPont REGISTRY's history, like a look back on our covers throughout the decades, and a retrospective look at Ferrari's halo car legacy.

In that time, some of the world’s most desirable, iconic, and influential luxury and exotic cars have graced the cover of our magazine over the past 40 years, and together, the cover cars of duPont REGISTRY’s hundreds of monthly issues tell a story of automotive history and its evolution since the ‘80s. Looking back at duPont REGISTRY’s cover cars from the year 1994, some serious nostalgia is stirred up for any automotive enthusiast, and each year, a cover car shows an iconic moment of the past, when a car we see as a classic today was the hottest new creation on the market. Take a trip down memory lane and look at our 1994 magazine covers below, and continue to celebrate our milestone anniversary by buying a copy of our special 40th anniversary edition magazine. Buy Our 40th Anniversary Issue January - Ford Mustang One of America's performance heroes took the cover of duPont REGISTRY in January 1994, and that was the Ford Mustang, the original pony car.

March - Lotus Esprit S4 The Lotus Esprit is one of the most iconic sports cars in the long and storied legacy of the manufacturer, and the S4 variant in yellow took over duPont REGISTRY's March 1994 cover. 4.0.3 April - Porsche 911 The Porsche 911 is a duPont REGISTRY cover favorite, and of course, one of the world's favorite sports cars in automotive history. In red, it's shown on the April 1994 duPont REGISTRY cover.

Buy Our 40th Anniversary Issue January - Chevrolet Camaro Starting off the year, the Chevrolet Camaro was the star of duPont REGISTRY's January 1993 cover, comparing the original with the then-contemporary generation of the muscle car icon, at both ends of the F-platform's life cycle. February - Lincoln Town Car, Harley Davidson Sportster At the dawn of the Clinton era, duPont REGISTRY's February 1993 cover was a presidential display, with a white Lincoln Town Car carrying two Harley Davidson Sportsters on the back, one for President Bill Clinton, and one for Vice President Al Gore. March - CheZoom, Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder SWB, Mercury "Woody" In March 1993, duPont REGISTRY's cover featured three cars, each quite different from the others.
