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.

McLaren Reveals New MCL-HY & MCL-HY GTR Hypercars

McLaren’s story as a manufacturer was written in the world of motorsport. In fact, it took nearly 30 years after McLaren’s establishment for a road car to wear the name, and that was the groundbreaking, legendary F1, which simultaneously dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Alongside the brand’s involvement in series like Formula 1 and IndyCar, endurance racing is a cornerstone in McLaren’s heritage, and the manufacturer is returning to it in a big way. Earlier, McLaren announced the name of its upcoming top-class endurance racing hypercar, the MCL-HY, and that car has now been revealed, along with the MCL-HY GTR, the Project: Endurance track car for clients. The MCL-HY is set to race in the 2027 FIA WEC, which includes the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and it’s part of McLaren’s ambitions to claim the coveted “Triple Crown” of motorsport as it has done before, dominating Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix, and the Indianapolis 500. The test livery of the MCL-HY is inspired by the McLaren M6A, as founder Bruce McLaren wanted the car to compete in Le Mans as the M6GT, indicating McLaren’s longstanding heritage in sports car racing. Testing of the car on track will begin this month in preparation for the debut next season, as well as for the client track car. <- Gallery -> A twin-turbo V6 with a hybrid system powers the racing hypercar, delivering nearly 700 horsepower to the rear wheels. Meanwhile, the MCL-HY GTR represents a collaboration between McLaren Racing and McLaren Automotive, as it was developed with a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 that boasts roughly 720 horsepower, and without the hybrid system required for the LMDh race car. MCL-HY GTR clients get a chance to be a part of McLaren’s new endurance racing journey, with access to the McLaren Racing WEC operation, and front row seats to the Le Mans challenge in 2027. Owners also get access to a two-year, six-event track driving program on iconic circuits, with professional driver coaching, a dedicated pit crew, and more. With deliveries of the MCL-HY GTR set to take place towards the end of 2027, and McLaren’s new MCL-HY hypercar revealed, a new chapter of McLaren’s rich motorsport history is being written.

In the ever-evolving automotive world, some cars come and go, while others stand out as timeless icons that continue to inspire the next generation, which happens to perfectly align with ‘The Holy Trinity’ of hybrid hypercars. There’s no denying that the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder, and Ferrari LaFerrari have cemented themselves as the most important hypercars ever created, and if you need any proof to justify that statement, take a deep dive into past sales and broken auction records over the past 10 years. As the market for these battery-assisted beasts continues to skyrocket, the collector car world continues to warn those questioning whether they should pay the premium, worried that potential buyers will miss the boat before entering another stratosphere of pricing. The team at Miller Motorcars of Greenwich, CT, is pleased to offer this one-of-a-kind, one-owner 2014 McLaren P1 as part of its incredible inventory of supercars and hypercars for sale on duPont REGISTRY.While every one of the 375 examples produced is special as a piece of automotive history, this specific McLaren P1 shines as a true 1-of-1 factory configuration. Showcasing a rarity rarely seen in McLaren’s ultra-limited P1 production, it comes finished in a one-off MSO Sterling Grey paint with tons of exposed carbon fiber trim and Papaya Orange details. Factory lightweight forged wheels provide the surface traction for high-speed straights, while massive, matching orange carbon ceramic brakes supply the stopping power for quick cornering and track agility. The car features signatures from McLaren F1 racing boss Ron Dennis and McLaren P1 designer Frank Stephenson, directly linking it to the visionaries who brought the P1 to life.Inside the McLaren P1, the cabin remains rather calm, cool, and collected for a hypercar capable of still considered one of the fastest and most demanding of all time. Its lightweight DNA is revealed through an exposed matte carbon interior, complete with one-piece leather bucket seats sporting the famous ‘P1’ logo in Papaya Orange. Equipped with everything a driver needs to break lap times, shedding unwanted weight with tech and amenities that outdate cars, the McLaren P1’s intent as a road-worthy track hypercar remains its sole focus, even to today’s standards.The heart of the McLaren P1 is its 3.8L twin-turbocharged V8, spec’d with McLaren’s familiar 24K gold engine bay heatshield, paired with an electric motor to form a hybrid system that was radical for a road car at the time. Together, the setup delivers 903 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, with the electric motor filling in gaps and adding instant response rather than existing purely for efficiency. Power goes to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, pushing the P1 from 0–60 mph in under three seconds and on to a top speed electronically limited to 217 mph. View Listing

McLaren Golf Launches New Irons Built Like Supercars

In an industry long led by brands with decades of expertise and success, backed by world-class players, McLaren Golf has approached its entry into the sport with the same attitude and ingenuity as its production supercars and hypercars, as well as its championship-winning race programs. Dreamed up by a dedicated team of golf industry experts alongside PGA and LPGA professionals Justin Rose and Michelle Wie West, the new venture officially launched in Miami alongside Formula One’s Miami Grand Prix and the PGA Tour’s Miami event, a symbolic coming together of McLaren’s worlds. The new collection features two new iron sets, Series 1 and Series 2, both of which utilize an advanced Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process to unlock the same precision philosophy that applies to McLaren supercars.The Series 1 irons are McLaren’s take on a classic Tour blade. At first glance, they’re clean and compact, but are designed not to behave like old-school blades. The use of MIM allows for better consistency across the face without losing that soft, responsive feel. A lot of that comes down to internal weight. There’s tungsten built into the head to help stabilize launch and reduce dispersion, while McLaren's structural mesh redistributes mass for better forgiveness without sacrificing shape. All in all, the Series 1 is clearly aimed at low-handicap players who want full control but aren’t against some modern tech working in the background.The Series 3 irons sit more in the players' distance category, focusing more on speed, forgiveness, and control in a way that’s more approachable and less intimidating. Like the Series 1, they still use an MIM construction, but also feature carbon fiber elements that help fine-tune weight and improve feel. That carbon back helps manage vibration and supports the internal system, giving the club a solid, consistent feel through impact. Players are getting more distance and forgiveness compared to the Series 1, but without completely giving up control. Both sets are priced at $375 per club and are available through select custom fitting retailers or online at mclarengolf.com, making them easy to spec out if you’re thinking about upgrading your bag.

McLaren Confirms MCL-HY As Name Of WEC Hypercar

McLaren’s roots as a brand are deeply steeped in the world of motorsport, and Le Mans was the stage for one of its most formative triumphs. The McLaren F1 GTR won the 24 Hours of Le Mans on its first outing in the prestigious endurance competition in 1995, and since then, the already celebrated racing legacy that McLaren boasted has only grown greater. Now, McLaren is on the cusp of returning to Le Mans as part of the FIA World Endurance Championship, and it’s doing so in the top class with a hypercar aimed at taking the overall win. That hypercar, along with a client variant, has been previewed already with “Project: Endurance,” but now, an official name has been given to both the race car and its client racing variant. The race car will be called the MCL-HY, and the customer car will be called the MCL-HY GTR. Destined for the 2027 FIA WEC, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the MCL-HY heralds a new era of endurance for McLaren, one which will hopefully carry on the legacy of the legendary F1 GTR. Meanwhile, the MCL-HY GTR will simultaneously offer clients a track car and a corresponding track day program with exclusive access to a new age of McLaren sports car racing. While the naming conventions of the MCL-HY match those of McLaren’s Formula 1 cars, the MCL-HY GTR also takes on a cherished legacy nomenclature. Started by the F1 GTR, and continued with the P1 GTR and the Senna GTR, the MCL-HY GTR will be the latest in a long line of track-only masterpieces. A new era of McLaren racing is starting, and the new MCL-HY, which will be fully revealed on May 4, is at the center of it. View All McLaren For Sale Image Source: McLaren

Lanzante 95-59 XP Prototype Hits The Track for First Customer Drive

The first customer drive of Lanzante’s 95-59 XP prototype has taken place in the English countryside, marking a significant moment for the British engineering firm as development of its upcoming three-seat supercar that was revealed at Goodwood last year, moves forward. For those unaware, Lanzante Limited, based in Petersfield, Hampshire, has built a reputation for transforming some of the most extreme track-only cars into street-legal machines. More recently, the company welcomed two Bugatti Bolide hypercars to its facility to begin the complex process of adapting the $4 million track-only machine for public roads. The Bolide joins a long list of Lanzante conversion projects that already includes the McLaren P1 GTR, as well as road-legal versions of the Pagani Zonda R, McLaren Senna GTR, and Porsche 935. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lanzante (@lanzantelimited) The 95-59 project carries particular significance for the company. Lanzante first teased the car in March 2025 before unveiling it publicly at the Goodwood Festival of Speed that July. Its name references one of the most famous moments in the company’s history. In 1995, a black and silver McLaren F1 GTR wearing chassis number 59 secured overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The car, entered by Lanzante and driven by Yannick Dalmas, Masanori Sekiya, and JJ Lehto, shocked the motorsport world by defeating purpose-built prototypes. Three decades later, the 95-59 aims to celebrate that achievement while translating the spirit of the F1 GTR into a modern road car. Designed by former McLaren designer, Paul Howse, the same man behind the P1, 720S, and the limited-run Sabre, his work on the analog 95-59 carries clear motorsport influences, from its dramatic bodywork to the distinctive central driving position. That layout places the driver in the middle of the cabin with passenger seats on either side, echoing the iconic configuration of the McLaren F1. The big highlight is the carbon tub and a curb weight of just 2,755 pounds, which in itself is very close to the F1’s 2,513-pound curb weight. It will be powered by McLaren’s familiar 4.0-liter V8 with 850 horsepower and 640 pound-feet of torque on offer. Priced from £1.3 million ($1.77 million), only 59 examples will ever exist. The prototype undergoing testing also previews the car’s final appearance. The next public milestone arrives next month. The 95-59 will headline Lanzante’s presence at the Goodwood Road Racing Club Members’ Meeting, where the prototype is expected to make its first public track demonstration in front of enthusiasts and collectors.

New McLaren Artura Spider MCL39 Championship Edition Unveiled

For over 60 years, McLaren has been one of the most celebrated and important names in the world of racing. Specifically in Formula 1, McLaren has been one of the ultra-prestigious series’ mainstays and one of its most formidable teams. As the 2026 Formula 1 season gears up to begin, McLaren is going in with wind in its sails, having earned back-to-back world championship wins, as well as its 10th Formula 1 World Constructors’ Championship victory in the past season. To celebrate, McLaren, and specifically its McLaren Special Operations division, created a special edition of its open-top hybrid supercar: the McLaren Artura Spider, and it’s called the MCL39 Championship Edition.
