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.

Polestar Enhances Driver Experience With Google Gemini

By Tyler Rampersaud – April 30, 2026

Polestar Introduces In-Car Google Gemini

Combining Scandinavian design with cutting-edge EV technology and luxury, Polestar boasts an enticing lineup of vehicles, including an EV sedan, two electric SUVs, an upcoming four-door grand tourer, a compact SUV on the horizon, and even an electric roadster. The next few years are set to be exciting for Polestar, as the brand is preparing for what it calls its largest model offensive yet, but other exciting developments are happening now with the Swedish electric luxury car manufacturer and its models, like the launch of in-car Google Gemini. The advanced AI model from Google will be making its way into Polestar vehicles with Google built in as soon as today, if those vehicles are located in the US and have their language set to US English. An upgrade to the existing Google Assistant already featured in Polestar vehicles, the new Google Gemini AI model promises to transform the driving experience, allowing drivers to give the system commands in a conversational manner. The system understands context and multi-turn dialogue, and will ask follow-up questions, and understand multiple commands in one sentence. In addition, Gemini Live allows drivers to activate a hands-free conversation tool to help brainstorm any manner of ideas. Also able to break down language barriers, drivers can, for example, dictate a text in English to Gemini, and then ask it to translate that text in any supported language before sending it. Available on all models besides the Polestar 1, the new Google Gemini update requires no additional hardware, and eligible drivers will see a pop-up on their center display asking whether or not to opt into Google Gemini. Over time, Google Assistant will be fully replaced by Gemini, and following the initial launch in US English for US drivers, more languages and markets are going to be supported in the future.

Polestar Has HIghest Q1 Sales Ever In Q1 2026

By Tyler Rampersaud – April 09, 2026

Polestar Reports Highest First Quarter Sales Ever

Polestar’s rapidly growing electric vehicle lineup ambitiously enters one of the most competitive arenas in the automotive industry, that of luxury electric cars. It does so with unique approaches, however, including transparency around its approaches to environmental sustainability, a signature Scandinavian design aesthetic, and a promise to rapidly introduce new models, with the Polestar 5 four-door grand tourer being launched, the Polestar 6 roadster on the horizon, and the Polestar 7 compact SUV coming soon. As the brand continues to grow, the Polestar 2 is also going to have a sequel, and along with many recent announcements, Polestar has started 2026 on a high note, reporting its highest first-quarter retail sales results ever at the end of the first quarter of 2026. With a total of 13,126 cars sold, the result represents a 7-percent growth on 2025’s first-quarter number, and Polestar says that the improvement comes thanks to an increased number of retail sales points since then. There are 230 now, 50 percent more than the 154 that were in operation just a year ago. As 2026 continues, Polestar plans to have 250 retail sales points by the end of the year, marking a significant expansion of the brand’s sales network. If it reaches that goal, Polestar will have increased its sales network by 20 percent compared to its number at the end of 2025. Along with creating powerful, stylish, and luxurious electric cars, Polestar’s long-term goals include halving its greenhouse gas emissions per vehicle sold by 2030, and becoming completely climate-neutral across its value chain by 2040. With luxury and sustainability at the forefront, the rapidly growing and successful Polestar may be the future of the automotive industry. View All Polestar For Sale Image Source: Polestar

Polestar Reports Full Carbon Footprint Of The New Polestar 5

By Tyler Rampersaud – March 11, 2026

Polestar 5’s Full Carbon Footprint Revealed

Electrification is sweeping the automotive industry, and while it’s bringing incredible technology, power, and innovative engineering to the landscape, much of the purpose for transitioning towards electric vehicles is to combat the environmental impact of the emissions that come from combustion engines. However, environmental impact comes from more than just emissions, and even electric vehicles can create a significant carbon footprint through their manufacturing processes, materials, and logistics. Polestar, the young Scandinavian manufacturer of electric luxury cars, is committed not only to end-to-end sustainability but also to being transparent about its approach to environmental sustainability. As the new Polestar 5, the brand’s luxury performance four-door grand tourer EV, enters the market, Polestar has published its cradle-to-gate carbon footprint through a full Life Cycle Assessment for the model, as Polestar has done for its entire lineup. For the Polestar 5, the carbon footprint is 23.8 tCO₂e, all the way from the raw materials to its delivery to the customer. Citing raw materials as the most significant avenue through which to reduce emissions, Polestar uses 13 percent recycled aluminum for the 5, and 83 percent of the aluminum comes from smelters that are powered with renewable electricity, reducing the carbon footprint of the 5 by 14 tCO₂e per car compared to conventional aluminum sourcing methods. In addition, the facilities where the Polestar 5 is produced, as well as the battery materials, operate on renewable electricity, while the use of a flax-based alternative to carbon fiber called ampliTex™, Econyl carpets made from recycled materials, and an available Bridge of Weir leather upholstery with chrome-free tanning that is sourced as a by-product of the food industry all contribute to a reduced carbon footprint for the luxury performance grand tourer. Combining luxury with responsibility, the new Polestar 5, which boasts 884 horsepower, a driving range of over 400 miles, and 800-volt architecture for fast charging, represents an ambitiously sustainable future for the automotive industry, in which luxury, performance, and mindfulness towards the environment coexist. For Polestar, that mindfulness goes far beyond the emissions of the car itself and traces all the way back to the raw materials it’s made from, and the new publicly available life cycle assessment from Polestar for the new Polestar 5 transparently showcases that relentless approach to sustainability.

Polestar 5 Joins Gran Turismo 7 This December

If you enjoy sim racing and spend your weekends chasing lap times in the virtual world, there’s a new car coming your way. The Polestar 5, the Swedish brand’s all-new flagship four-door coupe, is joining Gran Turismo 7 this December through a free update for PlayStation 4 and 5. Unveiled to fans at the Gran Turismo World Series in Los Angeles over the weekend, it’s part of a deeper collaboration between Polestar and Polyphony Digital, the Japanese studio behind the legendary Gran Turismo franchise. After the limited-run Polestar 1 plug-in hybrid coupe defined the brand’s design and performance DNA, the 5 pushes that philosophy further with a fully electric, four-door GT layout. Fresh off its global debut at IAA 2025 in Munich, where it headlined as the Scandinavian brand’s most advanced EV, the Polestar 5 also made waves in a short film starring Alexander Skarsgård. It’s a car that combines Polestar’s design and performance philosophy more than any model before it. Built on a bonded aluminum chassis, the Polestar 5 produces around 870 horsepower from a dual-motor setup. “I have long been impressed by Polestar cars for their advanced, clean, and elegant designs, and so I am delighted to collaborate with them to bring the Polestar 5 to Gran Turismo. The development team at Polestar put a great deal of care into crafting the car’s driving experience, and so I am sure the players will enjoy the experience of driving it in Gran Turismo.” - Kazunori Yamauchi, Gran Turismo Series Producer Polyphony Digital is widely recognized for its obsessive attention to realism and detail. Polestar opened the doors to its development center in Sweden. Professional racer and Gran Turismo champion Igor Fraga worked alongside Polestar’s Head of Driving Dynamics, Joakim Rydholm, to capture the car’s real-world handling and performance traits. They validated the results on the challenging Brands Hatch circuit in England, ensuring that the in-game Polestar 5 mirrors its real-world behavior down to steering feedback and throttle response. This collaboration also marks the start of a multi-year partnership, paving the way for future Polestar models like the upcoming Polestar 6 roadster to join Gran Turismo. To celebrate the launch, a special in-game time trial will give players a shot at winning an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2025 GT World Finals in Fukuoka, Japan. A behind-the-scenes documentary will drop on Polestar’s YouTube channel alongside the update, detailing how two worlds, digital and physical, merged to deliver one of the most realistic driving experiences ever created. Finally, longtime Gran Turismo players should be well aware that this isn’t the first time a Swedish car has graced the series. Earlier editions featured the Volvo C30 Polestar, S60 Polestar, and even the classic Volvo 240 wagon, a cult favorite for its boxy charm. The Polestar 5 now continues that heritage, bringing modern Scandinavian performance into the EV era. View All Luxury Cars For Sale " width="680"> Images: Polestar, Gran Turismo

Polestar 4 Uses Google Maps AI-Powered Live Lane Guidance

Polestar partners with Google to evolve navigation. Long gone are the days of unfolding maps and tracing tiny paths with your finger to get to your destination. It’s hard to even remember those times, with navigation technology available now for cars that will not only guide you along your route, but will also account for traffic, let you know about hazards on the road, and even tell you what lane to be in. In the case of electric vehicles, navigation apps even account for charging when planning routes, and augmented reality features can show drivers exactly where to turn. Polestar, the rapidly growing Swedish luxury electric vehicle manufacturer, is partnering with Google to take navigation technology to an even higher level, with Polestar being the first manufacturer to integrate live lane guidance from Google Maps in the driver display of its new SUV coupe model, the Polestar 4. With visual reminders on the Polestar 4’s 10.2-inch display, as well as audio reminders, drivers will be instructed on when to change lanes in real time, with Google’s advanced AI analyzing the road to help make the call. The feature will initially be available for Polestar 4 cars in the United States and Sweden, but Polestar and Google, who have been partners in EV technology innovation since 2020, plan to launch the feature to more regions, road types, and customers in the future.
