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.

Combat Motors Announces 2022 Motorcycle Lineup

Presented by Combat Motors. Combat Motors, known for uncompromising performance and American craftsmanship, announces its 2022 line-up featuring the new Combat Bomber, Wraith, F117 Fighter and P51 Fighter. The newest addition to the line-up, the Bomber takes what the original FA-13 Bomber started and completes the package. A new laid-back seat angle coupled with forward controls makes this bike the cruiser to lead all cruisers. Starting at $125,000 for the raw aluminum version, the Bomber is powered by the S&S X132 air-cooled big twin. Black ceramic coated exhaust is standard but the intimidation factor is unavoidable. Back for another year, and while supplies last, the Wraith is the pinnacle of two-wheel artistry. A carbon fiber seat fairing encapsulates a flame-polished acrylic brake lens that encapsulates the Combat nomenclature. The term, detail, physically takes on a new meaning with this bike. Dual forward and rear foot controls give you the luxury of choice; whether you want to ride aggressively or relax at the forward controls, the choice is always there. A 5-axis sculpturally machined fuel tank and air box as the centerpiece are the embodiment of a no-compromise approach to this bike. Starting at $155,000 for the raw version, power is available through the proprietary X132 architecture and additional power is made possible by the unique intake volume that has been accomplished through the innovative air box design. The F-117 Fighter has struck the balance between raw beauty and aggression. It does not make sense, but when you ride this bike, the 117 cubic-inch S&S V-twin provides sound, power and a balanced feeling that should not exist in such a raw machine. We have strived to reduce costs on this machine as much as possible so some options normally available on other models have been removed. Starting at $85,000, perfection may be closer to attainable than one may think. Tried and true, the original P51 Fighter is still available. For 2022, however, we’ve updated some of the details. The carbon fiber belly pans have been revised and graphic elements on the structural fuel tank refreshed. An optional 117 cubic inch displacement has been added to the list of options along with a digital speedometer built into the handlebar mount. The raw version starts at a lean $100,000 and the legendary “Blag Flag” version now only adds $5,000 to the build. Since all builds are based on the S&S X132 architecture, availability is subject to engine availability, as this power plant has been discontinued. The sooner interest is expressed, the more accurately delivery times can be communicated. Brand ambassador, Jay Etheridge, is available at most times to discuss options and answer any questions. To The Future: Hellcat Will Return…The newest Combat, currently under development, will bring the Hellcat name back to the forefront. With design elements showing the link to the past; construction, power, and efficiency will be nothing short of innovative. True to the lineage established in the past, the next generation Hellcat will no doubt bring the inner child out of each of its riders. Combat Motors owner, Ernest Lee, says that "We are building the last of these motorcycles with the S&S X-Wedge power plant while working hard to design the new Hellcat which will be available to a wider audience."

With 123 horsepower and nearly 89 lb/ft of torque, the FTR Championship Edition can go fast, and with Brembo brakes, it can stop fast as well. ProTaper flat tracker aluminum handlebars top off the racing aesthetic of this winning bike. Whether it’s on the road or in a collection, the FTR Championship Edition is a celebration of victory on two wheels. Source: Indian Motorcycle

Ducati performance has just reached a new extreme. Ducati motorcycles are known all over the world for being exciting, beautiful, iconic, and beyond anything, quick. And now, the brand has created a bike that is considered Ducati’s “ultimate racetrack machine,” the Panigale V4 SP2.

That comes along with a MotoGP-derived 1,103 cc Desmosedici engine with 210 horsepower and over 90 lb/ft of torque, an advanced braking system from Brembo, and Ducati’s signature dry clutch. MUST READ: Discover The New Limited-Edition Ducati XDiavel Nera Motorcycle The bike, top to bottom, is made for the track, as it comes with a kit to remove the rear-view mirrors and license plate holder.

Ducati has created the Panigale to be accessible and exhilarating for riders with varying experience levels, ensuring that all riders can experience the full potential of one of the most technologically advanced and capable Ducatis yet. One of the most important aspects of a Ducati is the look and experience of owning and riding an Italian Superbike. The livery that the Panigale will be released in is called “Winter Test,” and it combines the signature red and black colors of Ducati with exposed carbon and brushed aluminum, creating a sleek, modern, and intimidating look that is unequivocally Ducati. The bike will be made in limited numbers and starts at $39,500. Deliveries start as soon as mid-2022. " width="680"> Source: Ducati

Swiss watches meet British bikes. It doesn’t get any better. While motorcycles and watches are very different, both are machines that have the potential to showcase amazing engineering prowess and stir excitement and joy in fans and enthusiasts, let alone owners. That’s why when Triumph, the brand that makes classic and iconic British motorcycles, partnered with Breitling, a Swiss watchmaker geared toward pilots and established in 1884 to make both a collaborative motorbike and watch, the hype was a given. MUST READ: H.Moser Releases Its New Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Funky Blue Collection That hype, however, is well deserved.
