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.

Project Viva Revealed: One-of-One McLaren 750S Spider Bri...

Ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, McLaren Automotive has revealed Project Viva, a one-of-one McLaren 750S Spider designed and built by McLaren Special Operations (MSO). As McLaren’s bespoke division, MSO is synonymous with the pinnacle of personalization—transforming a client’s inspiration into automotive art. Inspired by the spectacle and energy of Las Vegas, Project Viva embodies the shared ambition and innovation that unite McLaren and the city itself. Every inch of this singular supercar reflects MSO’s mastery of craftsmanship and creativity, blending design, narrative, and artistry into a seamless luxury statement. Reimagining the City of Lights through a monochrome lens, Project Viva takes an unexpected approach in a destination defined by neon color and excess. Rather than recreating Vegas’ glow through vibrancy, MSO interprets the city’s pulse, architecture, and atmosphere through intricate, hand-painted linework. The ‘Sketch in Motion’ livery captures the movement and spirit of Las Vegas – from its iconic skyline and illuminated signage to its rhythm of music and performance – all tied together with McLaren’s own racing heritage. MSO’s bespoke palette for Project Viva includes Muriwai White, a tone inspired by the Muriwai House motif, and Vegas Nights, a new MSO-exclusive paint developed solely for this commission. The deep black finish features subtle cyan, magenta, and green metallic flecks designed to mimic the shimmer of Las Vegas after dark. Each stroke and shade carries intent—every line tells part of a larger story, illustrating MSO’s philosophy of building around emotion and inspiration rather than aesthetics alone. Adding a layer of authenticity and motorsport pedigree, McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri contributed hand-applied details, including the team’s tenth Constructors’ World Championship star on the rear bumper, alongside signature lines and sketches. Their involvement ties the bespoke project back to McLaren’s legendary track record and dedication to performance. “Project Viva captures what McLaren Special Operations is all about – pushing beyond convention to create something truly personal. It’s where craft meets character, and where any inspiration can become a story told through design. Every commission we create is a fusion of vision and skill, resulting in a car that authentically expresses the inspiration behind it. Whether born from brand storytelling or a client’s own passion, MSO exists to turn ideas into something unique and meaningful,” said Jonathan Simms, Director of McLaren Special Operations (MSO). The McLaren 750S Project Viva will be on display at the McLaren Experience Center within the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel from November 13–20, coinciding with the Las Vegas Grand Prix. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, it represents not just the most personal expression of the McLaren 750S, but also a new benchmark for luxury automotive artistry – where vision, craftsmanship, and performance meet under the bright lights of the world’s most dazzling city.

McLaren's $2.1M W1 Will Debut at Goodwood Alongside The ...

Recognized as one of the most historic and prestigious automotive gatherings on the planet, the Goodwood Festival of Speed remains a bucket list event for collectors and enthusiasts passionate about all things automotive and motorsports. It's the type of environment where you'll witness the debut of an all-new hypercar alongside the running of a Le Mans-winning race car. McLaren's showing up big at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, and rightfully so. Leading the charge is the public debut of the McLaren W1, the latest and greatest in the manufacturer's "1" car series that started with the iconic F1 and continued with the P1. The W1 packs a 1,258 horsepower V8 hybrid punch to the rear wheels, active aero tech, and styling that clearly pays homage to McLaren's iconic predecessors. Only 399 are being made, and all are spoken for, but Goodwood is giving attendees a first close-up look at the McLaren W1. It feels like McLaren's way of reminding everyone that it's still very much in the business of engineering record-breaking hypercars inspired by the past and future of the brand. The celebration doesn't stop with the W1. McLaren's also marking 30 years since it shocked the racing world by winning Le Mans on its first try back in 1995. That actual winning F1 GTR, fresh off the museum floor, is back on the hill with JJ Lehto behind the wheel. They've also rolled out a 750S Le Mans edition to mark the occasion, styled up to pay tribute to the ultra-rare F1 LM. If that's not jaw-dropping enough for the diehard McLaren fans, the Solus GT returns to the hill again, likely in another blur of noise and carbon fiber as it sprints up the course. Also getting airtime are ultra-limited "Celebration Edition" versions of the 750S and Artura, created to mark the Formula 1 team's 2024 Constructors' Championship. It's a lot to take in, but in typical Goodwood fashion, it's also a reminder of how fast these cars, and their stories, move. View All McLaren Supercars & Hypercars For Sale Source: McLaren

Watch F1 World Champion Mika Häkkinen Race The $4M McLare...

With race-inspired DNA, the Goodwood hill climb proved to be perfect for McLaren's Solus GT. Two-time Formula 1 World Champion Mika Häkkinen returned to the driver's seat this past weekend during the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, racing a $4 million McLaren Solus GT up the famous hill climb. McLaren's single-seater hypercar, painted as a tribute to Häkkinen's 1998 championship-winning McLaren MP4/13, ripped up the track, evoking the iconic V10 era of Formula 1. The Solus GT's livery, created by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), perfectly resembles the colors of the legendary MP4/13, with the paint job executed by an original team member from the 1998 season. The Solus GT's appearance is a nod to Häkkinen's victories and McLaren's storied history in motorsports. The Solus GT, first revealed in August 2022, stands out as an example of McLaren's dedication to supplying owners with high-performance, customer race cars. With its naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 engine that revs beyond 10,000rpm and produces 829 horsepower, this track-only monster is a marvel of hypercar engineering. Weighing under 2,200 lbs and featuring advanced aerodynamics capable of generating over 2,650 lbs of downforce, the Solus GT embodies McLaren's racing heritage. At Goodwood, Häkkinen's run in the Solus GT brought the essence of his Formula 1 legacy to the U.K. At the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, McLaren factory driver Marvin Kirchhöfer set a blistering time in the Solus GT during the Timed Shootout Final, securing McLaren's place as the fastest car at the event for the second time in three years. Häkkinen's drive this year added another chapter to McLaren's renowned history, showcasing the perfect blend of past glory and future innovation.

Unleashing MadMac: The 1,000-HP McLaren P1 Drift Hypercar...

Celebrating a decade of drifting at Goodwood, 'Mad Mike' Whiddett is set to tear up the UK's tarmac with his latest project, the MadMac. The 1,000-horsepower McLaren drift hypercar, created in collaboration with Lanzante, reimagines the P1 in a whole new track form. Documented on Mad Mike's YouTube channel, the build showcases a fusion of engineering expertise and innovative thinking. Lanzante's team, led by Dean Lanzante, provided the foundation, sculpting bespoke bodywork to create an aggressive yet functional design. The car was airfreighted to New Zealand for the MadLab team to finish turning it into a flame-spitting, rotary-swapped beast ready to conquer the Goodwood Festival of Speed. @madmike.123 Instagram The MadMac is a one-of-one custom McLaren, fusing a McLaren P1 chassis with a MadLab-built three-rotor billet 20B turbo engine. The blend of British craftsmanship and Kiwi ingenuity guarantees the MadMac stands out. Retaining the original McLaren transmission, the team pushed boundaries by designing a custom transfer case and installing a bespoke steering rack for drifting. Upgrades continue with custom uprights, a hydraulic handbrake, and a collaboration with Rocket Bunny for the bodywork. The work paid off as Mad Mike took the MadMac for a spin around Hampton Downs Motorsports Park, showcasing his drifting skills behind the wheel. @madmike.123 Instagram After extensive testing, MadMac was flown back to England for its grand reveal at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. With a special Red Bull livery, the car was unveiled on July 11, marking a special moment for Mad Mike and his team. This project celebrates a decade of drifting at Goodwood while honoring Bruce McLaren, a fellow New Zealander. The MadMac's journey is far from over, with plans to tour globally, capturing every moment for an upcoming documentary. View all McLaren P1s for sale on duPont REGISTRY by clicking the link below.

Unleashing The Artura: McLaren's Electrified Entry-Level ...

During Arizona Car Week, our dear friends at McLaren Scottsdale gave us the keys to the 2023 McLaren Artura, and it did not disappoint. The Artura is the ultimate entry-level supercar and the first hybrid from McLaren since they introduced the P1. It can tackle everything from daily driving to canyon carving. Let me explain: On Thursday I was handed the keys, given a thorough tutorial on McLaren's updates and changes in the new Artura and then took off to check out our friends at RM Sothebys. Once you get over how many heads turn on the road to ogle its sleek, richly colored body, you are struck by how breathtakingly quick the car is. The 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 is paired to an 8-speed dual-clutch, which directs 671 horsepower to the rear wheels. The power surges in a surprisingly linear fashion for a turbo-charged car and keeps you pinned to the back of your seat until your foot lets off the accelerator. As you hold on for dear life, you’ll notice the superb steering size and grip feel that is pleasantly minimal, eschewing any buttons and knobs. The Artura feels extraordinarily light due to its newly redesigned carbon tub and the fact that it’s only 3,300 pounds. Yet it somehow manages to simultaneously give the driver an extremely planted feel while veering around sharp curves. The daily drivability of the Artura is pretty spectacular. As you swing the door up and get in, you become immersed in the driver-centric cockpit. The driver modes can be adjusted using the two controls on the dash that can be found, directly in front of your right and left hands. The right controls can be moved up and down to adjust to Electric, Comfort, Sport, or Track modes while the left handles the suspension. The other easily accessible button that helps with daily driving is the front lift, which is no longer on a stalk; it's a physical button to the left of the steering wheel. As we commuted between auctions and events, I was able to start up the car in Electric mode, sneak out of the parking garage, and hit the road before hitting the control up twice to switch it into Sport mode in order to enjoy the exhaust note. As you explore the interior of the car more, you realize that the visibility is extraordinarily good: the seating position is perfect, and there is a great amount of both leg and headroom. The user interface took some getting used to––as it would with any new car––but makes sense once you get the hang of it. It’s a very straightforward system that makes adjusting the climate control and media easy when you’re on the move. The McLaren Artura proves to be an all-around incredible supercar with scattered hints of hypercar traits. It exceeds everything you want and need from an entry-level vehicle of this type. Although you may not have enough trunk space, you could use this car on a daily basis and make your day-to-day life exponentially more enjoyable, and a whole lot faster, exactly how it did for me during Arizona Car Week.

McLaren Automotive Reveals The All-New Solus GT Track Car...

The stunning realization of a concept car from the screens of virtual racing into an extreme expression of track driving engagement that will exhilarate in the real world. While Monterey Car Week kicks off with some unbelievable unveils from industry leaders like Bugatti and Koenigsegg, the performance specialists at McLaren Automotive were sure to have some big news of their own prepared. McLaren Automotive is proud to reveal the all-new Solus GT, a track-only chassis derived from the concept of the video gaming world. The McLaren Solus GT will be produced as a special commission for just 25 lucky customers that have already secured all the available chassis. The single-set closed-cockpit track car was unveiled on the coast of Northern California during Monterey Car Week by CEO Michael Leiters. McLaren Automotive With the debut of the Solus GT, McLaren is successfully creating the world’s first track-only vehicle designed from the futuristic McLaren concept that was featured in the Gran Turismo Sport video game. The aggressive exterior styling screams ultra-lightweight, with a total weight of 2,205 pounds that helps achieve an astonishing 2,645 pounds of downforce using its aerodynamic performance. Its state-of-the-art aerodynamic system channels air through the front splitter and ground effect tunnels until it exits through the rear diffuser. A motorsport-inspired intake above the cockpit integrated into the design of the roll hoop cover feeds cold air into the engine, while also providing an engaging induction sound. A twin-element fixed rear wing is the secret weapon for the Solus GT, helping with straight-line speed while enhancing its cornering. Although its all-new body features futuristic aspects like a sliding canopy, the Solus GT adopts characteristics like its central seat from the legendary McLaren F1. McLaren Automotive At the heart of the new Solus GT lies a powertrain unseen in any other McLaren, a 5.2-Liter Naturally-Aspirated V10 engine capable of generating over 829 brake horsepower and 479 foot-pounds of torque. Paired with a bespoke sequential 7-speed transmission, McLaren’s new limited-production track car has a target 0-62mph of 2.5-seconds with a 10,000rpm redline. Despite the immense amount of downforce created by its aerodynamic design, the McLaren Solus GT plans on coming with a maximum speed in access of 200mph. Along with the ability to further customize a configuration through the McLaren Special Operations (MSO) division, clients are also able to purchase a full ‘racing driver experience’ in addition to the Solus GT. The special package will include a driving seat molded to individual body shape, an FIA-homologated race suit, helmet and HANS (Head And Neck Support) device bespoke to each owner, and a driver-development coaching program. The 25 excited new owners of the McLaren Solus GT are expected to begin receiving their desired specs in 2023.
