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.

We at duPont REGISTRY are proud to feature the largest selection of McLaren Speedtails for sale thanks to our extensive network of passionate and knowledgable dealerships. View all the McLaren Speedtails featured in this special by clicking the links below for more information. How expensive is a McLaren Speedtail? The McLaren Speedtail is definitely on the pricier side of the hypercar spectrum, as you might expect for such a sleek and high-performance machine. Brand new, it set buyers back around $2.25 million, depending on the customization options chosen at the time. It's a limited-production model, so its rarity can also drive up the price on the resale market. Is McLaren Speedtail legal in US? The McLaren Speedtail is an absolute stunner but, unfortunately, it's not street legal in the US straight out of the box. The reason lies in its design choices that don't quite meet specific U.S. safety standards, like its unique central driving position and lack of side-mounted airbags. However, owners can bring one stateside under the "Show or Display" exemption. This allows them to own and even drive the car legally, but with some limitations on mileage and use. So, while you can have a Speedtail in the US, it's a bit of a process and comes with a few strings attached! How fast can the McLaren Speedtail go? The McLaren Speedtail can sprint all the way up to a jaw-dropping top speed of 250 mph. Not only is it quick, but it's also McLaren’s fastest production car ever. So, if you’re looking to zip past pretty much anything on the road (or track), the Speedtail has got you covered. 2020 McLaren Speedtail View Listing 2020 McLaren Speedtail View Listing 2020 McLaren Speedtail View Listing 2020 McLaren Speedtail View Listing Buy Searching for a McLaren Speedtail to buy? duPont REGISTRY has hundreds of Porsches for sale right now, including some of the rarest McLaren Speedtails ever created.

20 Final Chassis 1-of-1 McLarens Being Offered In Histori...

Every year, the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir comes alive as it plays host to one of the most action-packed opening races on the Formula 1 racing calendar. But this past weekend, the legendary race circuit took center stage for something equally awe-inspiring and impressive: a collection of not one, not two, but a staggering 20 exquisite examples of McLaren road cars. This is the ‘Last Of Legends’ collection curated and spec’d by none other than the late McLaren Billionaire shareholder Mansour Akram Ojjeh (1952-2021), a pivotal figure in the British marque’s storied history, besides Ron Dennis, Gordon Murray, and founder Bruce McLaren himself. Now, after years in private storage, the collection is coming up for sale, and the Ojjeh family has entrusted Tom Hartley Jnr with the sale. The U.K.-based firm has also previously handled the sale of former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone’s 69 Grand Prix F1 cars. Mansour Ojjeh’s Legacy Current McLaren CEO Zak Brown with the Mansour Family Born to a French mother and Saudi father, Akram Ojjeh Mansour was educated in California, which is where his love for cars really took off. During his youth, he owned everything from a Lamborghini Countach to a Rolls-Royce Corniche. The man once even had a stunning Ferrari collection with models like a 250 California Spyder and a 288 GTO, to name a few. But his dream was to build the ultimate McLaren road car collection, and the result of those efforts, going back several decades, is what lies in front of us. Ojjeh’s journey with motorsport began in the late 1970s, early ‘80s, after he took over as CEO of Techniques d’Avant Garde (TAG), the Luxembourg-based investment firm that has stakes in everything from aviation and Formula 1 to luxury goods. While TAG sponsored Williams in 1979, it was Mansour’s decision to sponsor McLaren in 1984 that changed everything. That move bankrolled the legendary TAG-Porsche engines, launching an era of F1 dominance that would pretty much define the 1980s. Over the following four decades, Ojjeh’s influence and oversight helped McLaren deliver 10 Drivers’ and seven Constructors' championships. But more crucially, his financial backing also helped lay the building blocks of McLaren Automotive and was key to bringing cars like the record-breaking McLaren F1 to life. Mansour Ojjeh’s ‘Last Of Legends’ Collection Each of the 20 cars seen here is the final chassis of its respective line. What this means is that the cars received all the major updates and revisions made during the production cycle. Also, every car in the collection is on delivery miles, with the exception of the crown Jewel of the collection, #075, or the final McLaren F1 road car ever built, which has 1,810 kilometers (1,124 miles), and the Frank-Stephenson-designed P1 GTR, used occasionally for McLaren track days. Other stunning cars in the collection include models like the open cockpit Elva roadster, a Senna (with accents of the Brazilian flag), 250 mph Speedtail, the spiritual successor to the McLaren F1, and currently, the fastest McLaren, the Sabre, and several limited-series cars, including Long-tail variants. Designed exclusively for the U.S. market, the Sabre hypercar is one of just 16 examples ever built by McLaren Special Operations (MSO). One thing that pretty much ties the entire collection together is the vibrant color. Originally dubbed Yquem, after the Château d’Yquem dessert wine, the shade was renamed ‘Mansour Orange’, and it was not available to any other McLaren customer, making each example a true bespoke one-off. No collector has received McLaren’s white glove service quite like Ojjeh has, and these cars were maintained by the factory, per his personal specifications. As one of the most complete McLaren collections ever, values are estimated to be anywhere between $70 and $100 million, with the aforementioned #075 McLaren F1 set to account for nearly a quarter of that sum.

Two McLaren P1 GTR Track-Only Hypercars Listed For Sale

Own the peak of track-only exclusivity. Part of the historic and increasingly influential “Holy Trinity” trio of hypercars along with the Porsche 918 Spyder and the Ferrari LaFerrari, the McLaren P1 is one of the most important hypercars of recent automotive history. Its limited production and revolutionary performance engineering make it one of the most desirable, coveted, and collector-worthy masterpieces of modern automotive excellence, and enthusiasts pay staggering prices to get their hands on a piece of the McLaren P1 legacy.

With 986 horsepower, the P1 GTR will get from 0-60 in 2.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 225 mph, with solutions and techniques derived straight from the pinnacle of the racing world. It’s one of the most exclusive hypercars on the market and a formidable track weapon, and two examples of the McLaren P1 GTR are listed for sale on duPont REGISTRY. One, with a red livery and only 147 miles on the odometer, is a 2015 McLaren P1 GTR for sale available at McLaren Philadelphia. The other is a 2016 McLaren P1 GTR with a black and silver livery with only 283 miles on its odometer. If you’re looking to dominate the circuit, these two McLaren P1 GTR for sale examples are the perfect way to do so.

McLaren Elva: Own A Unique, Ultra-Light Thrill Machine

If you can get your hands on one, you should. The McLaren Elva is one of the most unique modern hypercars. Like its other hypercar peers, it's incredibly powerful, innovative, lightweight, and of course, fast. It also shares with other hypercars daring styling with excellent craftsmanship, exclusive features, and finishes of the highest quality. However, even among the crowd of excellent hypercars, the McLaren Elva manages to stand out. That's thanks to the fact that unlike most other modern hypercars, the McLaren Elva is roofless, and can be had even without a windshield. The result of this is a hypercar experience like few others, with high performance that few other cars can offer, delivered with a raw and exhilarating driving feel that can't be replicated. Inspired by classic open race cars, the Elva modernizes that ethos and takes its thrill to an entirely new level, making for a truly unforgettable experience. Here are just five of the reasons why this hypercar masterpiece should be in your garage. 1. Rare The McLaren Elva is not just unique in the hypercar world, but also highly exclusive. McLaren only built 149 of these stunningly beautiful pieces of machinery, meaning its once-in-a-lifetime experience is not an easy one to get. What that also means is that if you can get your hands on one of the very few McLaren Elvas for sale, you'll have a collector-grade masterpiece with investment appeal. 2. Roofless Without a roof, and often without a windshield, either, the McLaren Elva belongs to a very exclusive group of cars, often described as "barchettas." The body style, associated with vintage race cars, refers to a car with no roof and no windshield, dedicated purely to high performance and remarkable exhilaration with the wind in your face as you experience the McLaren Elva's excellent performance both in straightaways and in corners. 3. High-Performance The McLaren Elva is powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 engine, and it's capable of producing an immense 802 horsepower. Combine that fact with the fact that the McLaren Elva only weighs a scant 2,351 pounds, and you have quite the monstrous machine on your hands. The 0-60 time is under 2.8 seconds, and you can expect to reach a soaring top speed of 203 mph, which is quite the number considering there's no roof, making it roofless and ruthless alike. 4. Heritage-Inspired The roofless design of the McLaren Elva draws its inspiration from classic race cars, something the McLaren name is incredibly familiar with. 60 years ago in 1963, McLaren saw its origins on the track, not introducing road cars until the F1 in the 1990s. Many of the various McLaren Elva specs pay homage to these classic race cars, sharing liveries with race cars that won historic titles and forged McLaren's celebrated legacy. 5. Bespoke Craftsmanship Being a exclusive and highly limited edition hypercar, the McLaren Elva saw plenty of beautiful and unique configurations. If you own one, you'll be glad to know that the McLaren Elva was made with the finest materials and finishes. You'll find unique paint colors, exposed carbon fiber, and interiors with finishes like carbon fiber, leather, nubuck, Alcantara, and beautiful stitching.
