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.

Meet The Porsche Owner Who Put Over 800,000 Miles On His ...

This is Bill and he loves his Porsche. In the world of cars, there are endless debates, but one of the biggest is whether a car should be a true daily driver or a pristine piece of art, tucked away in a collection. And while it's practically impossible to predict the market uproar in classics like early-era Porsches, it's still important to remember that these cars were engineered to make everyday drives more enjoyable alongside competing in professional racing settings. For Porsche enthusiast Bill MacEachern, his 1975 Porsche 911 Turbo is a lifetime companion. Over the past 41 years, he’s driven his Porsche well more than 725,000 miles, covering distances that could take him to the Moon and back. Bill’s journey with his 911 began when he test-drove a Porsche 911 T in 1970, which left him hooked on its handling and agility. He eventually bought his Turbo 911 in deep Midnight Blue, marking the start of an adventure that would span decades, countless road trips, and endless memories. From high-speed rallies across North America to drives down to legendary car events in Monterey, Bill’s Porsche has been his co-pilot through thick and thin, including a few repairs along the way. Today, with over 800,000 miles on the odometer, Bill’s 911 Turbo is still going strong. Despite encountering some bumps, like a broken fan pulley in Oregon or a dent from an SUV accident in 2009, Bill has always found a way to keep his Turbo running. With this milestone reached, his Porsche isn’t destined for retirement. Instead, it remains on the road, serving as an example of Bill’s ongoing passion for the brand and his love for the open road. For Bill, this classic Porsche embodies a lifetime of memories and proves that some cars are built to be driven, not just admired.

Meet The Astronaut Reunited With Porsche's 911 Turbo Afte...

While some view cars as just another average mode of transportation, others see them as memories. For passionate car collectors and enthusiasts, its the story or memory attatched to a car that adds an extra layer of significance. Porsche tends to attract this more than any other, with stories of Speedsters and 911s being the gateway into a lifelong love for all thing automotive. Its a story shared by Porsche lover and Astronaut Dr. Anna Lee Fisher, who first became introduced to the brand by her German uncle and countless drives in his Porsche. Anna went on to study a profession in the medical field where she celebrated her success by purchasing a 1977 Porsche 911 Turbo finished in Garnet Red. Parting ways with her 911 and starting her journey as an astronaut in 1979, Dr. Fisher was accepted into NASA’s training program as part of the first group of women ever. Mission STS-51A launched from the historic pad 39A on November 8, 1984, embarking on a seven-day, three-million-mile journey to retrieve two satellites, during which Dr. Fisher became the fourth American woman and the first mother in space, spending 192 hours beyond Earth. Now 40 years later, on the date of when she first realized her dream of space travel, Porsche captured the moment when Dr. Anna Lee Fisher was reunited with the 911 Turbo as part of a new short film. Joyriding a blue over red leather 992 911 Turbo up and down the closed airstrip, all that Dr. Fisher could say was, "I want it." Dr. Fisher later contributed to the development of the International Space Station and the Orion program. Although she retired from NASA in 2017, her passion for space and speed hasn’t faded. "I've collected quite a lot of speeding tickets," she admits. "You'd think they'd understand." View all Porshe 911 Turbos for sale on duPont REGISTRY by clicking the link below.

Porsche Brings Classic Tartan Style To The 911 Turbo With...

Porsche reintroduces iconic tartan fabrics to the 911 Turbo's interior. Porsche has a rich history of incorporating tartan fabrics into the interiors of its sports cars, a tradition that began 50 years ago with the Porsche 911 Turbo. Inspired by the bold decision of Porsche's chief designer Anatole Lapine, tartan patterns were first introduced in 1973 and have remained a stylish option for owners ever since. Lapine’s choice of pants featuring the Black Watch tartan sparked the idea of including these iconic patterns in the interior configurations of Porsche icons like the 911. The manufacturer's exclusive tartans, including Black Watch, McLaughlin, and Mackenzie, add a unique touch of Scottish heritage to Porsche’s performance-driven models. The tartan designs weren’t easy to incorporate initially, as the fabrics needed to be durable enough for car interiors. After a search for the perfect supplier, Porsche found a partner near Weissach that could provide high-quality, abrasion-resistant tartan fabric. These patterns soon became a symbol of Porsche. Today, as part of Porsche’s Heritage Design strategy, the brand continues to celebrate its past by reinterpreting iconic design characteristics like tartan for modern-day cars. The approach guarantees that Porsche embraces and delivers its rich heritage to its customers. From the catwalk to the sports car, tartan remains a timeless style that represents identity and belonging. Porsche's exclusive tartan patterns both enhance the interiors of the 911 Turbo while also serving as a tribute to an iconic design hue. This fusion of old-world charm and modern luxury is a perfect reflection of Porsche’s style, ensuring that these iconic patterns will continue to be celebrated for years to come.

Porsche Honors The 911 Turbo's 50th Anniversary With Its ...

What better way to commemorate a true sports car legend. Suppose there's one thing that Porsche does better than engineering finely-tuned German sports cars. In that case, it's the ability to develop a timeless color palette of historic shades that are still being chosen for current-day configurations. In addition to breathing new life into iconic hues like Guards Red, Irish Green, and Speed Yellow, Porsche also focuses its efforts on creating new finishes that will carry on the tradition of originality and personalization. This year, Porsche is proud to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the 911 Turbo by teaming up with Pantone during New York Fashion Week to reveal its all-new 'Turbonite' color. Porsche recently unveiled a special edition of the 911 Turbo S, along with a Taycan Turbo S, at the 'Porsche x Pantone' event during New York Fashion Week. The highlight of the new finish features gold-tinted details and a satin-matte finish, adding a distinct look to each car. Turbonite is showcased on the rear lettering, window borders, and the exclusive crest, making these models stand out in the Porsche lineup. This special edition build honors the 911 Turbo while commemorating the entire Turbo range as an essential part of Porsche's heritage. In addition to the exterior, Turbonite accents spread to the interior, with the color featured on trim strips, belt straps, and other controls, providing contrast against a black interior. Porsche has also revamped its color program, offering over 170 options through 'Paint to Sample,' allowing customers to choose classic Porsche colors or create personalized shades. This celebration of the 911 Turbo and the introduction of Turbonite perfectly represents Porsche's dedication to individuality.
