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 788HS Closes the Super Series Chapter

Few cars have disrupted the supercar hierarchy quite like the McLaren 720S, the undisputed crown jewel that kicked off its second-generation Super Series. Launched as a masterclass in usable speed, blending a featherweight chassis with hypercar-slaying aerodynamics, that baseline only got meaner over time – evolving into the brutal, track-honed 765LT and the sharper 750S. This lineage is the absolute backbone of McLaren's modern production supercar era. Now, McLaren has created the definitive expression of that philosophy: the new 788HS. The final chapter of this celebrated supercar series, the McLaren 788HS represents the ultimate interpretation of a platform refined over nearly a decade of development. Wearing the rare "High Sport" designation – reserved solely for the most exceptional expressions of the fabled British sports car marque – the 788HS combines increased power, advanced aerodynamics, bespoke craftsmanship, and unprecedented exclusivity into a final masterpiece. GALLERY-EMBED Limited to just 200 examples worldwide – divided equally between 100 Coupes and 100 Spiders – every 788HS will be created as a unique commission through McLaren Special Operations (MSO). More than a high-performance machine, each example is designed as an individual expression of its owner's vision, combining McLaren's engineering expertise with the craftsmanship and personalization expected from the world's finest luxury manufacturers. "The new McLaren 788HS represents the ultimate expression of our supercar series that began with the 720S, a fitting finale for a car with such a dynamic and engaging character," said Nicolas Brown, President, McLaren the Americas. "The Americas is home to an incredibly passionate community of McLaren owners and enthusiasts, and the rarity, performance and unmistakable character of the 788HS makes it a very special and exciting proposition for our clients." The HS badge represents the pinnacle of McLaren's series production philosophy. Previously reserved for the McLaren 12C HS and MSO HS, the High Sport designation signifies a model that transcends traditional performance upgrades, bringing together engineering innovation, expressive design, and collector-level exclusivity.

McLaren 765LT Spider Expected to Follow Coupe's Strong Va...

Presented by McLaren Automotive - When the 2020 McLaren 765LT first arrived, it quickly dominated road tests while simultaneously blurring the lines between a supercar and a hypercar. This tremendous performance came thanks to the 765LT's ultra-powerful 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, which develops 755 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, the 765LT utilized carbon fiber extensively to reduce weight and improve overall aerodynamic efficiency. The result was a 0-60 mph time of under three seconds and a sub-10-second quarter-mile time. To put a 765LT Coupe in your driveway, you had to pay at least $363,500 to start without considering the model's seemingly endless options. As its name suggests, the 765LT was part of a limited run of just 765 cars worldwide. One quick look at the listings available on duPont REGISTRY reveals that all of the used examples currently have listed prices of well above $500,000, showcasing excellent value retention. Following up the monster machine that is the 765LT Coupe, the British carmaker introduced the 2022 McLaren 765 LT Spider. Since it shares its powertrain and power output with the Coupe, the Spider variant is the most powerful convertible ever produced by the brand. Additionally, the original chassis itself is so stiff that the Spider variant required no further strengthening. The only weight penalty comes as a result of the folding metal roof. Following in the footsteps of its mechanical sibling, there will only ever be 765 Spider variants. With a base price of around $382,500, the Spider commands a premium over the Coupe of just under $20,000. However, given the limited production numbers and the results we've seen with the Coupe, all signs indicate that the Spider should retain its value just as well. As it stands, VIP customers across the US have begun optioning their Spiders, with deliveries scheduled for the near future. All allocations of 765LT Spider are now spoken for, but to learn more about the McLaren 765LT Spider and maybe even configure your dream car, check out the link below.

Mecum Indy 2021: Midnight Purple McLaren Senna from Marsh...

Presented by Mecum Auctions - For sheer electrifying performance, this 2019 McLaren Senna is absolutely without peer, a completely bespoke automobile of uncanny capability. The Senna lives up to both its revered namesake and its lofty position as the crown jewel in McLaren’s Ultimate Series portfolio of exclusive hyper-performance automobiles. The Senna’s magic begins with its featherweight carbon fiber MonoCage III chassis, enveloped in carbon fiber body structures designed to optimize passive aerodynamics in concert with such active devices as the massive articulated rear wing and dual aeroblades within the front fenders that are designed to apply balancing front downforce as speeds climb. And climb they do; the Senna’s midmounted powerplant is an untethered wonder. Designated M840TR 90, it’s an all-aluminum DOHC 4.0L V-8 with dual twin-scroll turbochargers and dry-sump oiling delivering 789 HP and 590 lb-ft of torque through a 7-speed dual-clutch SSG automatic transmission that together rocket the Senna to 60 MPH in a scant 2.7 seconds on the way to a top speed of 211 MPH. Electrohydraulic rack-and-pinion steering, carbon ceramic disc brakes with forged monobloc 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers, and an all-encompassing active suspension system are influenced by the driver’s choice of three powertrain modes affecting ride height and spring rates, braking and cornering, an astounding developmental breakthrough in driver/machine integration. More advanced technology is seen in the Senna’s twin-hinge dihedral doors, Gorilla Glass windows, Bowers and Wilkins seven-speaker audio system, front and rear parking sensors, back-up camera and McLaren track telemetry system. Presenting in impeccable as-new condition with just 186 miles, this 2019 McLaren Senna is loaded with special custom appointments and finishes courtesy of McLaren’s Special Operations department, where McLaren customers’ dreams are fulfilled. In this case, it’s a marriage of special one-off Midnight Purple paint with matching Mauvine Purple Visible Carbon Fiber (VCF) interior surfaces, Mauvine Blue brake calipers, satin-finish carbon fiber aeroblades and door sills, Carbon Black Alcantara steering wheel, Dark Stealth exhaust heat shield and 19- and 20-inch Matte Dark Stealth center-lock ultra-lightweight wheels with Midnight Purple centers.

Mecum Indy 2021: McLaren P1 from Marshall Goldman Collect...

Presented by Mecum Auctions - Just as the McLaren F1 road car redefined cutting-edge performance in the 1990s, so has the 2014 P1 offered here set new standards, having been boldly described in company literature as “the most exciting, capable, technologically advanced and dynamically accomplished super sports car ever made.” That is as unequivocal a statement as has ever been made by any automobile manufacturer since Errett Lobban Cord introduced the Duesenberg Model J, but the 2014 P1 offered here at no reserve from the Marshall Goldman Collection more than lives up to that promise. Constructed around an intricately woven one-piece carbon fiber MonoCage, the P1 comprises a bundle of interconnected systems following modern Formula 1 practice. Its aerodynamics generate the highest downforce of any production road car to its time, complementing that with RaceActive chassis control to modulate the all-independent wishbone suspension and an adjustable rear wing to maintain dynamic balance under any conditions. Its hybrid twin-turbocharged DOHC 3.8L V-8 generates 727 HP, with a permanent-magnet synchronous electric motor within the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission adding 177 HP for a sum of 903 HP and more than 700 lb-ft of torque. At the other end of the performance spectrum are F1-grade silicon-carbide-coated carbon ceramic disc brakes capable of stopping the P1 from 120 MPH in just 380 feet. Chassis No. 325 of 375 P1s produced, this 2014 McLaren P1 received the full treatment from McLaren Special Operations, who handcrafted its bespoke interior and exterior finishings. Its Brodger Fire Brown paint, specially developed by MSO, is contrasted by the car’s semi-gloss carbon fiber bodywork and orange accents on the brake calipers, rear wing struts and “P1” rear badge; the same satin body finish appears on the mirror arms and the lightweight aluminum wheels. The theme repeats inside with Highland Hare Brown leather and Alcantara upholstery on the dash, steering wheel and touring seats contrasted by orange stitching and satin-finish orange control dials. This exquisitely tailored McLaren hypercar comes complete with a battery charger, car cover, books, original paint and leather samples, P1 book and service records. This McLaren P1 will be auctioned off during Mecum Auctions' Indy 2021 event, which runs May 14-22. View Listing

'Fux Green' McLaren Senna Heading to Auction

Presented by Mecum Auctions - This 2019 McLaren Senna is Serial No. 2 of 500 produced in the latest addition to the British manufacturer’s Ultimate Series of exclusive hyper-performance automobiles, a completely bespoke marvel fully deserving of its very special designation. This one-of-one McLaren Senna showcases its exposed carbon fiber body work through transparent Fux Green paint, which is a special mix that can only be ordered by Michael Fux. VIEW LISTING AND MORE Perhaps the best means of appreciating the Senna’s overwhelming magnificence is by a brief comparison to the car that begat McLaren’s entire road car lineage to this point in time, way back in the waning days of the 20th century: the absolutely fabulous F1. Designed by Gordon Murray to be the ultimate road car, the F1 nonetheless overflowed with the fruits of all the knowledge Murray had brought to, and learned from, the job of designing World Championship-winning Formula 1 racers. True, it was soon adapted, against Murray’s wishes, to compete on the track in GTR form, in which it amassed an enviable competition record that included three constructors championships and the overall victory in the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans. And yet, the F1 remained true to its original purpose as the sublime, definitive means of public transportation, in entirely analogue specification. Beyond its superb passive aerodynamics, the F1 offered no driver aids at all—even power steering was left in the parts bin, and the only transmission was a 6-speed manual—to give the purest, most engaging driving experience ever offered in a road car. The Senna, in stark contrast, is a race car. Yes, it was designed to legally transport its occupants to and from the track, but beyond that practical caveat, the Senna is wholly unconstrained by sanctioning body regulations of any sort. It is a car designed and built by McLaren Automotive on its own terms, period. In both concept and real-world performance, the Senna is more akin to a GT Le Mans machine than it is to any other road-legal automobile. In many ways, it surpasses even that standard. At just 2,641 pounds dry, it is lighter and, with 789 HP and 590 lb-ft of torque on tap, far more powerful. Propelled by the all-aluminum, twin-turbocharged DOHC M840TR 90 4.0L V-8 engine and 7-speed dual-clutch SSG automatic gearbox, the Senna electrifies with a 0-60 MPH time of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 211 MPH. Based on McLaren’s newest generation Monocage III chassis, the Senna employs lightweight carbon fiber throughout its body structure, every square inch of which is designed to optimize aerodynamics in service to the car’s performance regardless of driving conditions. Compounding the exhilarating effects of its electrohydraulic rack-and-pinion steering and carbon-ceramic disc brakes with forged monobloc calipers, the Senna packs an entire integrated system of active suspension and aero components that together generate 1,764 pounds of downforce at speed, some 440 pounds more than the P1. The massive, high-mounted rear wing travels through a 35-degree arc from upright airbrake to fully trimmed for maximum straight-line speed, acting along with dual flap wings within the front fenders to maintain perfect balance from corner entry to exit. These aero components work in concert with an active suspension system that regulates damping, compression and ride height independently at all four corners in an incredible dance of lightning-speed digitally activated adjustments. Even more astonishing is the aero and suspension systems’ integration with the car’s active stability and traction controls under any one of three driver-adjustable track modes, a stunning advancement that enables the driver to explore new frontiers of handling, cornering and braking that never even existed before the Senna. As if to add a string of exclamation points to the Senna’s astounding capabilities, renowned collector Michael Fux commissioned McLaren Special Operations (MSO) to work their magic in creating a bespoke automobile like no other: Senna No. 2 of the already sold-out edition of 500. Fux first chose MSO’s optional full visual exposed carbon fiber body package, a $297,575 option that includes almost 70 special parts that take almost 1,000 hours to produce and assemble. It was then finished inside and out (again, at an extra combined cost of $86,930) with a brilliant shade of transparent green paint (McLaren named it Fux Green) that vividly showcases the woven carbon fiber beneath. The glittering green finish is complemented with striking alloy wheels ball-polished to a mirror finish and fitted with red and blue center-lock nuts and Pirelli P-Zero tires. Opening the dual-hinge dihedral doors reveals the bespoke Fux Green interior—personalized at an extra cost of $13,903—that features contrasting white leather inserts with green stitching on the dash, seats, door panels and steering wheel. Green “MSO” logos on the headrests complete the unique look. The controls are at a minimum: center roof-mounted door-release and window switches, portrait screen infotainment, HVAC, McLaren Track Telemetry and Bowers and Wilkins seven-speaker audio systems. Offered at just 203 miles, McLaren Senna No. 2 is by any measure one of the world’s unique automobiles, an entirely bespoke objet d’art that occupies a new class of automobiles whose creators conceive and execute with complete freedom. Indeed, the Senna may be the car that starts a revolution in hyper-performance automobiles whose inspiration lies not in the restrictive regulations of a bureaucratic sanctioning body, but purely in the creative juices born of the human imagination.

The Most Unique McLaren 650S Le Mans Edition

Only 50 McLaren 650S Le Mans Editions will be made. Less than 10 can be found in the United States and almost all of the 50 cars are Sarthe Grey, but this example features Tarocco Orange Elite paint with matching orange seat inserts. The lightweight wheels are unique to the Le Mans Edition and pay tribute to the F1 GTR entered in the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans. It finished first, third, fourth, fifth and 13th in that race, making McLaren the only manufacturer to ever win Le Mans on their first attempt.The Le Mans Edition was produced by McLaren Special Operations (MSO) to commemorate 20 years since the historic win. All Le Mans Editions feature handmade carbon fiber parts and interior badges, but this particular example has many unique options. A few of the carbon fiber parts, including the MSO rear diffuser and roof snorkel, cost in excess of $60,000.The roof snorkel, also found on the P1, significantly helps with channeling air into the engine. The snorkel creates a “woosh” sound above the driver and passenger's heads that makes for an unbelievably visceral driving experience. This example was commissioned for a prestigious collector who had some unique pieces added to the car. He requested the signatures of every McLaren engineer that worked on this car, as well as the signature of Ron Dennis, CEO of McLaren.Dimmitt Automotive Group would like to extend a special thank you to the collector who purchased this vehicle.View Dealer InventoryGallery
