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.

The Rise of Luxury: Mercedes-Maybach's 26% Q3 Sales Increase

Luxury and innovation are Mercedes-Benz's secret to success. Mercedes-Benz’s international third-quarter report for 2023 tells a tale of power, luxury, and electric ambition. Despite market challenges, their performance has been commendable, and certain segments even shine more than others. Mercedes-Benz car sales reached a total of 510,600 units in Q3, marking a 4% drop. But this slip is due to certain understandable reasons. The E-Class underwent a model changeover, and the GLC faced supply-chain hitches. But the real magic happened in the top-end luxury realm, where Mercedes-Benz has begun placing more focus. Mercedes-Maybach sales shot up by a significant 26%. The high-end domain of cars isn't just about opulence; it's about transitioning to the future. A whopping 20% of overall sales for Mercedes-Benz now consist of hybrid and electric vehicles. Their battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales have impressively increased by 66% for the quarter. January to September showed consistent growth. A 2% rise in sales during these months culminated in 1,529,800 units sold. This aligns perfectly with Mercedes-Benz's full-year guidance, aiming to match sales with the previous year. Britta Seeger, Board Member of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, highlights the unwavering customer desire for their products. The high-end all-electric segment, notably the EQS SUV, enjoys immense popularity. The brand's vision extends beyond existing successes. They showcased the Concept CLA Class at the IAA in Munich, presenting a sneak peek into the electrifying future of luxury. Diving deeper into electric sales, Q3 saw 61,600 BEV units sold, a leap of 66%. The EQA and EQB models played their part with increases of 108% and 96%, respectively. The EQS SUV stands tall in the electric luxury sector, with a year-to-date sale of 26,300 units, marking a 53% rise. Mercedes-Benz also shows commitment to electrification infrastructure, announcing the establishment of their high-power charging stations and a new charging joint venture for North America by 2024. The Top-End segment witnessed a bit of a mixed bag. Sales for the first nine months rose to 246,500 units, up 6%. Q3, however, experienced an 11% dip. But Mercedes-Maybach stood out, soaring with a 26% increase, totaling 6,600 units. The G-Class remains a unique proposition in the market, registering an 11% surge in Q3 sales. The S-Class, particularly in China, dominated its segment with a more than 50% market share, even though global sales were down by 18%. On the regional front, Europe showed a positive trajectory with a Q3 sales increment of 12%. Germany, the homeland, remained robust with 11% growth. The Asian market, especially China, celebrated the success of the G-Class and Mercedes-Maybach. Both models set new Q3 sales records, growing by 35% and 30% respectively. In the American continent, the U.S. saw a notable rise in BEV sales, doubling in Q3. The EQE SUV and EQS SUV contributed significantly, comprising almost half of the total BEV sales. In conclusion, Mercedes-Benz's Q3 performance paints a picture of an auto giant that's both grounded in its roots of luxury and forward-looking with electric vehicular ambitions. The challenges of the market did not deter their spirit, and with their consistent drive towards an electrifying future, Mercedes-Benz is poised to steer the automotive industry towards new horizons.

Mercedes-AMG Reminisces The SLS AMG Electric Drive 11 Yea...

This AMG creation was the herald of a future that’s now very near. As the automotive industry arrives at a turning point, electric vehicles are becoming more common, and in the performance car world, that has thus far made for exciting developments and innovations. Today, we see electric cars breaking records as some of the fastest, most powerful cars of all time, and as more and more manufacturers begin to show what their electric vehicles can do, a new era of performance, luxury, engineering, and design is quickly blossoming. However, it wasn’t very long ago that electric performance cars like the many we see in today’s automotive world were once zany experiments that were thought to only become commonplace in the distant future, and in a new post on Instagram, Mercedes-Benz is looking back on its own: the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Electric Drive, which was introduced 11 years ago at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. Based on the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, the first AMG-exclusive Mercedes-Benz, it featured the legendary grand tourer’s iconic design, which boasted the gullwing-style doors that made the 300 SL a historic masterpiece, as well as the proportions to make one of the most beautiful coupes ever penned. However, in this iteration, it was given a new finish in AMG Electric Beam Magno Blue, and revised with an electric drivetrain, one that generated 740 horsepower and 738 lb/ft of torque, numbers which were impressive enough to change many preconceived notions about electric vehicles, as well as constitute a record-breaking run on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. That groundbreaking machine was, however, just the beginning for the electrification revolution in the automotive industry, as we now have production electric models from AMG, which deliver the brand’s signature blend of high performance and sumptuous luxury in the way that any AMG model is known for. While it might seem like a long time has passed since the introduction of the SLS AMG Electric Drive compared to the electric vehicles of today, we are still very much at the beginning of this exciting new chapter in automotive history.

5 Reasons Why You Should Buy A Mercedes-Benz EQS

One of the automotive world’s oldest names presents the cutting edge of EV luxury. The Mercedes-Benz EQS opens a new chapter for the historic brand. With roots tracing back to the very first production automobile, Mercedes-Benz has a long-standing tradition of excellent German engineering and automotive luxury, but with its new EQ electric models, it’s showing the ability to combine its time-honored traditions with futuristic technologies and electric drivetrains. Currently, the EQS is the flagship electric model from Mercedes-Benz, showing off the pinnacle of luxury, electric power, and technology that Mercedes-Benz has to offer. A Mercedes-Benz EQS for sale is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, an excellent car. What Mercedes-Benz offers with it’s flagship all-electric model is versatility, luxury, efficiency, and futuristic design all in one. Here are five reasons why a Mercedes-Benz EQS is a great choice if you’re looking for an electric vehicle to add to your garage. 1. Two Body Styles If you want a high level of practicality in your luxury EV, the Mercedes-Benz EQS has you covered, as it has two body styles to choose from: a sedan, and an SUV. Whether you want extra cargo space and SUV versatility, or the elegance of a luxury sedan silhouette, the EQS gives you options, a boon in the relatively recent market of electric luxury vehicles. 2. Luxury Mercedes-Benz is known for making some of the world’s most celebrated luxury cars, and the EQS, despite being all electric unlike most other Mercedes-Benz models, is no exception. The EQS features the luxury features of Mercedes-Benz’s best offerings, like special paint finishes, available upholstery in Nappa leather, and more. In addition, Mercedes-Benz recently announced that the EQS SUV will be available as a Mercedes-Maybach model, which will be the first all-electric Maybach vehicle. 3. Technology Besides its electric drivetrain with up to 350 miles of range, the EQS offers a host of available high-tech features. One of the most prominent is the MBUX Hyperscreen. It turns the dashboard into an immense interactive screen, which uses “Zero Layer” technology to put relevant functions in front of the driver at all times for easy use compared to other complicated touchscreen systems. In addition, the navigation system is able to plan routes while accounting for battery life and charging needs, making the planning of journeys in the EQS virtually effortless. 4. Easy Charging One of the biggest question marks when it comes to owning an electric vehicle is having access to charging. However, things are getting much easier across the board as Mercedes-Benz announces its participation in the North American Charging Standard, which will give electric cars like the Mercedes-Benz EQS access to Tesla Superchargers across the country, and Mercedes-Benz has also announced the creation of its own charging hubs for an easy and convenient charging experience. 5. AMG Performance Electric vehicles might boast reduced emissions compared to combustion-powered counterparts, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be hot-blooded, but rather the opposite. Manufacturers around the world are introducing high-performance electric vehicles, and Mercedes-AMG arm is in on the movement, as it has introduced an AMG EQS model, which delivers hair-raising electric performance. With 649 horsepower and 700 lb/ft of torque, it can rocket from 0-60 in just 3.4 seconds.

It's not just about pioneering in-car payments at the gas station; Mercedes is actively working on incorporating even more services into this payment ecosystem. It’s no surprise that there’s a high demand for this kind of tech. According to a study conducted by German market research firm GfK on behalf of Mastercard, around 50% of individuals aged 18-39 would happily order and pay for services directly via their car's infotainment display. A majority of them—60% to be precise—would use this feature for everyday car-related expenses like gas and EV charging. Jorn Lambert, Chief Digital Officer at Mastercard, emphasized the significance of this partnership: "Digital payments are coming of age, and consumers want new forms infused into their everyday experiences. We are proud to work with Mercedes-Benz to bring safer, smarter, and more intelligent commerce experiences to its vehicles." So, how does it all work? The Mercedes me Fuel & Pay service activates automatically when you reach a connected station and switch off your engine. It pre-calculates the maximum fuel cost based on current prices and tank capacity. After fueling, you're presented with the invoice amount on your MBUX display, and payment is processed automatically. No cash or physical cards are required, the invoice gets emailed to you, and you're on your way. It's not just Mastercard that's on board. Visa cards are also activated for digital payments at these service stations. Plus, Mercedes-Benz plans to roll this out to other vehicle-related services and European markets soon, and hopefully eventually Stateside. With this revolutionary payment technology, Mercedes-Benz and Mastercard are redefining luxury, convenience, and security in one extraordinary package.
