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.

Morgan Supersport lands in America ahead of Monterey debut

After more than 15 years without a Morgan flagship, the wait ends this week as the first Supersport has reached U.S. shores and will debut on August 14 at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, during Monterey Car Week. The debut follows an extensive homologation program and comes one month after Morgan opened U.S. orders. Morgan has begun producing American-specification cars at the company’s Pickersleigh Road factory in Malvern, England. Demonstrators and the first commissioned cars should reach retailers in September. Morgan continues to assemble bodies by hand. At the Quail, Morgan will display the Supersport beside the Plus Four, a model we reviewed last year. Both models will also travel on roads around the Monterey Peninsula during the week, giving enthusiasts a chance to see their proportions and road presence beyond a static concours lawn. “The arrival of Supersport in North America is an important moment for Morgan Motor Company. Alongside Plus Four, it strengthens our presence in one of Morgan’s most significant markets and reflects our continued investment in the United States. The Quail provides a fitting setting for the North American public debut of Supersport and an opportunity to experience our flagship sports car on US soil for the first time. We look forward to meeting customers and enthusiasts during Monterey Car Week.” - Matthew Hole, Managing Director, Morgan Motor Company <- Gallery -> For Morgan, this launch carries commercial weight as the British marque returned to the United States with the three-wheeled Super 3 back in 2023, then restored four-wheeled sales with the Plus Four in October 2024. Since then, it has delivered over 350 Plus Four examples nationwide. In 2026, Morgan has added four authorized retailers in Minnesota, Tennessee, California and Texas, continuing the expansion of its American retail network. Unveiled in 2025, the Supersport represents Morgan’s largest product evolution in more than a decade. Its familiar long-hood profile sits on the CXV-Generation bonded-aluminum platform, Morgan’s most dynamically capable architecture yet, accommodating a modern U.S.-certified BMW powertrain. That combination defines Morgan’s “21st Century Coachbuilding” approach: preserving the hands-on approach and signature design aesthetic, while giving American drivers contemporary engineering beneath the handcrafted bodywork.

Morgan Brings The New Supersport To The United States

By Tyler Rampersaud – July 15, 2026

Morgan Brings New Supersport To The US

Morgan Motor Company has long been known for its classic-inspired sports cars that combine spirited driving character with charming looks and artisan craftsmanship, but it has recently entered a bold new era as a manufacturer. Working with legendary design house Pininfarina, Morgan created the exclusive, bespoke Midsummer barchetta, and recently unveiled an even more exclusive Midsummer Coupe. In addition, a new generation of Morgan sports cars has risen, and the flagship of the latest Morgan cohort is the Supersport. The most performance-focused Morgan in the current lineup, the Supersport has now become available to order in the United States. Initially unveiled in 2025, the new Morgan Supersport is powered by a US-certified BMW B46 TwinPower Turbo engine, which is paired to an 8-speed automatic ZF transmission. The US debut of the new Morgan Supersport will take place at one of Monterey Car Week’s most prestigious events: The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. In its announcement, Morgan Motor Company says that production of US-spec Supersport examples will begin in August, with deliveries set to begin in September. Under 100 build slots remain for the 2026 model year. <- Gallery -> Built on Morgan’s new advanced CXV-generation bonded aluminum platform, the new Supersport comes alongside a new Morgan Plus Four, which returned to the market in 2024, alongside the ultra-exclusive Midsummer barchetta and its Midsummer Coupe counterpart. The design of the Supersport, and Morgan’s other recent models, reflects the company’s ethos of “21st Century Coachbuilding,” combining cutting-edge technology and driver-focused engineering with the same design principles and timeless aesthetic that Morgan can trace back to its first four-wheeled model in 1936. About the car’s arrival to the United States market, Jonathan Wells, Chief Design Officer at Morgan Motor Company, said, "The arrival of Supersport in the United States marks an important moment for Morgan. It allows us to introduce our vision of 21st Century Coachbuilding to a new audience, bringing together contemporary design, traditional craftsmanship and advanced engineering in a flagship that is unmistakably Morgan.” Continuing a near 100-year legacy, as the Supersport nameplate has been used by Morgan since 1927, the Supersport’s US presence is a triumph for enthusiasts and Morgan alike. With its debut at The Quail, a new chapter of Morgan’s celebrated history will be opened. View All Morgan For Sale Image Source: Morgan Motor Company

Morgan Unveils The New Ultra-Exclusive Coachbuilt Midsummer Coupé

By Tyler Rampersaud – June 24, 2026

Morgan Unveils The New Midsummer Coupé

Morgan recently completed an exclusive production run of the Midsummer, a stunning, coachbuilt barchetta designed in collaboration with Pininfarina. Only 50 examples of the Midsummer were made, and now, Morgan Motor Company has unveiled a new coachbuilt masterpiece, the Midsummer Coupé. Even more exclusive than the barchetta, only nine units of the Midsummer Coupé are set to be built, and the idea to create a coupe variant of the Midsummer came from the vision of a single client. After the Midsummer was revealed in 2024, the client approached Morgan with the idea of reimagining it as a coupe. After that, the design and engineering teams from Morgan Motor Company worked closely together to bring the coupe to fruition. The new model serves as an example of Morgan’s coachbuilding ability, creating an ultra-exclusive model based on the dream of a single client. Transforming the roofless barchetta into a coupe reimagines the Midsummer’s silhouette, and a glazed canopy maintains a light, airy cabin despite the car having a fixed roof in comparison to the original Midsummer being an “en plein air” car. Created with touring in mind, the vehicle also features weather sealing and effective climate control. Other changes include an increased door height, which creates a new beltline, window graphics inspired by Italian sports cars from the ‘60s, a stunning 19-inch wheel design that Morgan says is its most intricate design yet, and a luggage compartment suited for longer journeys. <- Gallery -> The launch car, considered the ‘artists’ proof,’ is a prototype that showcases the engineering, design, and craftsmanship of the new model, and after it, nine customer examples are set to be built. Imbued with some of the most painstaking artisan craftsmanship Morgan Motor Company has employed yet, the new Morgan Midsummer Coupé is a masterclass in coachbuilding and a distinguished milestone in the manufacturer’s history.

By Tyler Rampersaud – June 05, 2026

Morgan Teases New 9-Car Series Of Commissions

Morgan has been an iconic name in the automotive industry for decades, creating sports cars that combine beautiful design with classic-inspired touches, traditional engineering and manufacturing techniques, and engaging driving character. Roughly two years ago, Morgan revealed the Midsummer, a limited-edition model created in collaboration with legendary design house Pininfarina. Only 50 examples of the Midsummer were made, each a stunning coachbuilt barchetta with visible wood touches, handmade elements, and bespoke design. The final Morgan Midsummer was completed in March 2026, completing a production run that began at Morgan’s Pickersleigh Road factory in Malvern, England, in July 2024. Ending an era of bespoke excellence for Morgan Motor Company, the Midsummer’s production run marked a new chapter for the manufacturer’s craftsmanship and quality potential, and a new series of bespoke Morgan masterpieces is coming. In the manufacturer’s latest announcement, it was teased that a new commission unveiled by Morgan will be the beginning of a series of nine ultra-exclusive cars. Each car in the series is said to be “conceived as a singular expression of its owner,” showcasing the ultimate expression of Morgan’s coachbuilding and bespoke design ability. <- Gallery -> With its “21st Century Coachbuilding” philosophy, Morgan is celebrated for its artisan craftsmanship, classic-inspired silhouettes, and driver-focused ethos. As the new commission comes closer to being fully revealed, and with it the rest of the nine-car series of bespoke commissions that is set to follow it, the anticipation builds for what the upcoming generation of Morgan masterpieces will look like, and how each car’s owner brings their personal vision to life in a bespoke commission.

SuperSport 400: Morgan's Most Powerful Model To Date

Morgan Motor Company has expanded its lineup with the Supersport 400, a new flagship that builds directly on the Supersport introduced in March last year. Renowned for keeping the spirit of the quintessential British roadster alive in the modern age, that earlier reveal marked a turning point for Morgan’s six-cylinder platform. The Supersport 400 now pushes it further, delivering a measurable increase in performance while aligning with the brand’s broader global growth. With 402 horsepower, it becomes the first production Morgan to exceed the 400 hp mark. This not only makes it the most powerful Morgan to date, but in a lightweight sub-2,500-pound package, puts its performance on par with most supercars. Power comes from BMW’s latest B58 ‘O1’ turbocharged inline-six, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a 0 to 62 mph achieved in 3.6 seconds. It also builds on Morgan’s 25-year technical partnership with BMW, a relationship that continues to shape the brand’s engineering direction. As with any Morgan, driver engagement remains central to the Supersport 400. The standard Dynamic Handling Pack introduces adjustable Nitron dampers with 24 settings, revised suspension geometry, and model-specific calibration. The chassis maintains composure while delivering clear feedback through the steering, allowing precise control across varying road conditions. Optional upgrades include a limited-slip differential to improve traction and a newly developed Active Performance Exhaust that enhances the six-cylinder’s character. Forged 19-inch Sportlite wheels reduce unsprung mass, while Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires provide consistent grip at higher speeds. <- Gallery -> We are immensely proud of Supersport 400. It stands at the pinnacle of our range and reflects the progress we are making as a business. It demonstrates how we can evolve our platform to increase capability in a way that remains distinctly Morgan — defined by handcrafted construction, human engagement in the driving experience, and a commitment to delivering pure driving joy - Matthew Hole, Managing Director, Morgan Motor Company Design updates include new front wing vents that improve airflow and cooling, while revised lower bodywork increases contrast between aluminum surfaces and technical elements. Four new satin paint finishes, Forged Grey, Silk Silver, Sail Silver, and Horizon Blue, expand the exterior palette, with optional coral accents available across brake calipers, graphics, and interior details. Wheel finishes can be specified in mid-silver or optional bronze, while bespoke paint requests remain available. Inside, Alcantara and full leather configurations introduce a more tactile environment, supported by bespoke stitching, marquetry veneers, and Caerbont-built analog dials that combine traditional design with modern CAN and LIN technology. An optional anodized aluminum gear selector adds a precise mechanical interface that reinforces the car’s performance focus. What continues to set Morgan apart today: coach-built production, lightweight construction, and a driving experience centered on mechanical connection. The Supersport 400 continues to build on that and arrives at a time when Morgan has strengthened its presence in key markets, like the United States. The Plus Four made its East Coast debut on Long Island in September last year, a car that we subsequently reviewed that same month. That momentum continued with the 75th Anniversary Plus Four commissions made available to U.S. clients later that year. Last month, Morgan completed the final example of its 1-of-50 Midsummer build, closing a limited-run program that emphasized craftsmanship and exclusivity. Each Supersport 400 is coach-built, with U.K. pricing starting at £112,965 before taxes. Production begins in May, positioning the model as a clear evolution of the Supersport and a defining step in Morgan’s performance roadmap. All Morgan Inventory Images: Morgan Motor Company

Morgan Completes Its Final 1-of-50 Midsummer Build

Few carmakers wear their heritage as proudly as Morgan Motor Company. With more than 115 years of coachbuilding tradition, the British marque continues to build sports cars that celebrate craftsmanship, heritage, and the simple joy of driving. Marking a milestone nearly two years in the making, Morgan today announces the completion of its 50th and final bespoke Midsummer customer commission, a limited-production barchetta created in collaboration with the renowned design team at Pininfarina. Since July 2024, the project has been unfolding inside the workshops of its historic Pickersleigh Road Factory. The final configuration features a subtly stunning gloss-black exterior with exposed wood finishes and aluminium, adding contrast to its unmistakable, elongated silhouette. Monoblock machined wheels give it a modern OEM-plus look while paying homage to the simplicity and styling of its earliest creations. Its open cabin reveals a rich light-brown leather interior, wrapped in that distinctive wooden structure that defines the car’s shoulder line. As many Morgan builds, the Midsummer was never intended to be a mass-produced sports car. Instead, it became a blank canvas for deeply personalized specs, with each owner working directly with Morgan’s design team to create a truly one-of-a-kind car. Some owners opted for unique paint colors and custom stitch patterns, while others commissioned bespoke veneers, pinstriped details, or even personalized dial artwork. Across all 50 cars, the diversity in owner requests helped expand Morgan’s in-house “off menu” abilities, growing its archive of materials, finishes, and design ideas that will inspire future builds.With the final Midsummer now complete, the project leaves behind more than just fifty jaw-dropping barchettas. It also represents experimentation for Morgan Motor Company, strengthening its coachbuilding expertise while introducing the brand to a new generation of owners and enthusiasts. One of the last examples will remain on display in Malvern as a reminder of the project, while production continues at Pickersleigh Road on the cars that have defined Morgan for decades.

Morgan Marks 25th Anniversary Of BMW Technical Partnership

Morgan celebrates a quarter-century of partnership with BMW. Known for its classic-inspired sports cars that combine traditional artisan craftsmanship with timeless driving thrills, Morgan Motor Company is an icon in the automotive industry. Its latest era consists of a new Plus Four model, which is powered by a BMW engine and marks the return of the Plus Four nameplate to the United States market for the first time in early 2000s. However, Morgan’s partnership with BMW has existed since the year 2000, and the historic manufacturer is celebrating a milestone 25th anniversary of the technical partnership by highlighting the many cars that emerged from it. Morgan brought together a lineup of 14 BMW-powered Morgans for the first time, starting with the Aero 8 and culminating in Morgan’s latest models. The partnership started with the Aero 8 in 2000, which held a BMW M62 4.4-liter V8 engine under the hood. BMW V8s were the final V8s to power Morgans, with the Plus 8 GTR from 2021, an example of which is part of the gathered group. After that BMW's six and four-cylinder engines took over with the CX platform, utilizing BMW engines to balance driving pleasure and purist enjoyment. One of those cars, powered by the 3.0-liter six-cylinder B58 engine, is the Morgan Midsummer, which, designed by Pininfarina, is a limited-production barchetta with ultra-luxury design and collector-grade potential. Now, the BMW B48 powers the new Plus Four, Morgan’s new staple sports car meant for classic-inspired style and driving joy. A new flagship, the Morgan Supersport, features the B58 engine and is poised as the most dynamically capable Morgan yet with the new CXV platform. The 14-car lineup gathered in celebration of 25 years of partnership with BMW shows that through their collaboration, Morgan and BMW have not only evolved a cherished lineup of classic-inspired sports cars, but have also helped shape the last quarter-century of automotive history.
