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.

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 Replaces The GT With The New 2024 GTS

McLaren’s newest supercar evolves an elegant formula. The introduction of the McLaren GT saw the racing-bred manufacturer introduce a take on its supercars that combined McLaren’s driver’s car ethos, impressive performance, and also a sense of luxury, understated style, and everyday usability. The supercar offered a McLaren driving experience with the added bonus of a plush interior and even space for golf clubs. However, the McLaren GT has now been replaced, and the new 2024 McLaren GTS has taken its place. The brief is the same as the GT’s: create a supercar with both McLaren’s incredible driving dynamics and performance and everyday luxury and comfort. However, the GTS features a few improvements upon the GT’s formula, especially in the performance department. It’s more powerful by 14 horsepower, coming in at 626 horsepower, and it’s also lighter by 22 pounds at 3,351, giving it what McLaren says is a class-leading power-to-weight ratio of 414 horsepower per ton. When your foot is to the floor, that means you’ll get from 0-60 in a scant 3.1 seconds, which is especially impressive for a car that fits a set of golf clubs in the back. McLaren’s signature agile character is also present, thanks to intelligent adaptive suspension and standard carbon ceramic brakes, which contribute on both the luxury and performance fronts. When it comes to the GTS’s luxury and style, McLaren ensured that the elegant silhouette of the GT remained relatively unchanged, with a few tweaks to give the new supercar a refreshed look. In addition, a new Lava Grey color option, unique “Turbine” wheel design, and available Softgrain Aniline Leather upholstery with a double-piping pattern and contrast stitching show that when it comes to the creature comfort factor of the new GTS, McLaren made sure to sweat the details. The McLaren GT showed off a slightly softer side to McLaren, combining everyday luxury and comfort with the brand’s irresistible signature driving thrill, and the new 2024 McLaren GTS, which is available to order now with delivery in 2024, aims to do the same, but better.

McLaren Debuts A Bespoke 3-7-59 Racing Livery By MSO For ...

McLaren Automotive has taken bespoke customization to exceptional levels with the launch of the motorsport-inspired 3-7-59 racing livery. Crafted by McLaren Special Operations (MSO), this complex design decorates a special McLaren 750S supercar, revealed by a trio of iconic McLaren drivers. The unveiling took place at the Velocity Invitational at Sonoma Raceway, marking one of the most striking moments in McLaren's 60th-anniversary celebrations. The 3-7-59 Theme, a nod to McLaren's 'Triple Crown' motorsport victories, required over 1200 hours of expert painting by MSO's technicians. This livery is a visual sensation and a storytelling canvas that features more than 20 colors to create its stunning exterior. The six customer cars, all either a 750S coupe or Spider, sold out immediately, each one a unique variation of this detailed theme. The name celebrates the race numbers of the victorious McLarens: '3' from the 1974 Indy 500, '7' from the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, and '59' from the 1995 Le Mans. The livery is a vibrant collage of these race cars, detailed with illustrations of the vehicles and the races they conquered. The 3-7-59 is a masterclass in automotive painting, featuring a multi-colored key fob, a 'shattered' front livery inspired by the McLaren MP4/2, and sides that pay homage to the Le Mans-winning F1 GTR. Hidden details, including Easter eggs and the evolving McLaren logo, enrich the narrative woven into the car's design. MSO's innovation extends to the supercar's functional components, with a checkered flag effect blending the orange of the Indy 500 winner with the F1 GTR's grey scheme, and a blue 'splash' on the opposite side achieved through a novel vector process. The 750S' Satin Black Vortex alloy wheels are matched with brake calipers in colors referencing the Triple Crown victories. Silver leaf exterior detailing and interior features like the Triple Crown logo, graphite Alcantara seat etchings, and hand-painted shift paddles, further honor McLaren's successful racing heritage. A dedication plaque, complete with a piece of McLaren F1 carbon fiber bodywork, seals its status as a mobile tribute to the brand's illustrious racing success.
