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.

Limited-Run 2026 911 Carrera T Club Coupe Celebrates 70 Y...

Hot on the heels of the recently announced 992.2 Carrera 4S family, in order to commemorate the 70th anniversary of what is not just one of the biggest Porsche Clubs, but one of the largest single-marque car clubs in the world, Porsche has just announced a new limited-edition model. This is the 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera T Club Coupe. Unveiled at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta, Georgia, this highly collectible model, built upon one of the purest 911s on sale today, blends driving performance with curated design touches and honors the club’s founding in 1955 by Bill Sholar, which has grown to now have over 150,000+ members. The exterior is a celebration of PCA heritage, finished in a brand-new PTS metallic shade dubbed Sholarblau, in a nod to the venerable PCA founder. It also continues the PCA tradition of coming up with special colors for anniversary editions, more specifically, Clubblau was developed for the 60th anniversary in 2015 on the 991 GTS Club Coupe. That shade paid homage to the original Azzuro California Blue, on the first PCA edition 911 back in 2005, the 997 Carrera S. This newest color is the result of a multi-year collaborative effort between Style Porsche, Exclusiv Manufaktur, and PCA. Other highlights on the bodywork include Guards red accents on the front bumper as part of the SportDesign front facia and the 20/21-inch RS Spyder wheels finished in a bespoke Satin Black with Brilliant Silver details, which completely transform their look. Outback, you get Guards Red Grill slats and a '70-year PCA’ badge on the engine cover. A subtle Club Coupe decal on the door and the body-colored Sholarblau mirrors instead of the Carrera T’s Vanadium gray finish tie it all together and lend a hint that you’re looking at something special. Inside, the attention to detail continues with illuminated door sills that read ‘Porsche Club Of America’ in a bespoke font, while PCA 70-year logos are projected onto the ground. The cabin is trimmed in a combination of black leather, accented with Speedblue stitching and Guards Red, with additional details including a special Club Coupe logo on the dash and an embossed logo on the center leather armrest. Another highlight in the interior worth mentioning is the Walnut gear knob, which in itself is a nod to racing Porsches of old, like the iconic 917 and subsequently the race-bred Carrera GT. An optional extended equipment package takes things even further with tartan inserts in a unique PCA pattern on the seats and in the glovebox, besides Guards Red seat belt loops, a leather owners manual cover with embossed logos, and a Sholarblue-painted key, also stored in a matching color pouch. In a special touch, each buyer will also be eligible to purchase a bespoke Chronograph 1 - 911 Club Coupe watch, by Porsche Design and handcrafted in Switzerland. Powered by the COSC-certified WERK 01.140 movement, it features a matte black dial, PCA banding, and a rotor that mimics this car’s unique RS Spyder Wheel design. Coming to performance, at the heart of the Club Coupe is the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six that produces 388 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque, paired to a six-speed manual gearbox (only available transmission on Carrera T) and rear wheel drive. It shares much of its mechanical underpinnings with the 992.2 Carrera T, and the Club Coupe continues to get the full enthusiast treatment, with the mechanical limited-slip differential, Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), and lowered PASM Sport Suspension, which lowers the ride height by 0.39 inches (10 mm) over the standard Carrera. Only 70 units will be built for the U.S. and Canada. The first example, not part of the limited-run production, will go to the Porsche Museum, while the second example will be raffled off to PCA members. The rest will be offered exclusively to Club members. Production begins this autumn and will run through spring 2026, and while pricing hasn’t been announced yet, as this is a highly collectible model, expect it to carry a considerable premium over the standard 992.2 Carrera T’s $138,700.

Porsche Unveils Three New 911 Variants

The new generation of the Porsche 911 continues to grow. Arguably the world’s favorite sports car, the Porsche 911 has spent over 60 years as one of the greatest legends in the performance car world, with an unmistakable silhouette, legendary driving character, and a rich legacy with fans across the globe. However, the latest generation of the Porsche 911, the 992.2, has introduced unprecedented innovations like unveiling the first road-going hybrid Porsche 911 variant, the Carrera GTS. As the new generation of the Porsche 911 grows, the 2026 model year sees three more variants added to the group: the new 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe, the 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet, and the 911 Carrera Targa 4S. The addition of the three new variants brings the total number of current all-wheel drive 911 variants to six. The new 4S models help bridge the gap between the standard Porsche 911 Carrera and the powerful GTS variants, while adding all-wheel drive in comparison to the Carrera S models. According to Porsche, United States customers who purchase a 911 “S” variant choose all-wheel drive almost half the time. Thanks to the torque split favoring the rear wheels, the 911 Carrera 4S combines fun-to-drive spirit with the practicality of all-wheel drive. Their twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine produces a significant 473 horsepower and 390 lb/ft of torque, with its increase in power coming thanks to intercooling improvements coming from the 911 Turbo. With that power, the 911 Carrera S Coupe rockets from 0-60 in just 3.1 seconds, with a top speed of 191 mph. In addition to its power and performance, the new 911 4S models receive the upgraded standard equipment that comes with the S variants. The Porsche 911 Targa 4S’s introduction to the new generation for the 2026 model year marks the 60th anniversary of the model, since the first generation was introduced at the IAA in Frankfurt in 1965. While maintaining the original design characteristics of the roof that was manually removable and combined the appeal of both a coupe and a convertible, the latest generation features a charming look and a roof that is fully automatic, combining the Targa’s vintage appeal with modern convenience, luxury, and technology. With three new variants added, the latest generation of the Porsche 911 continues to build the legacy of one of the world’s greatest sports car legends.

Porsche Unveils New 1-of-1,500 911 Spirit 70

Porsche revives the spirit of the disco heyday. The Porsche 911 has been one of the world’s most iconic and legendary supercars for over six decades, being introduced in the 1960s, and remaining one of the dominant forces in the luxury performance car world today. However, one of the most exciting eras for the Porsche 911 was the 1970s. The decade itself, and especially its cultural phenomenon of disco, was also one of the most exciting in the past. As the third installment in a series of Heritage Design models that look back on the car’s rich past, Porsche has revealed the new Porsche 911 Spirit 70, a limited-edition 911 that revives the spirit of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. Following the Porsche 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition and the 911 Sport Classic, only 1,500 examples of the new Porsche 911 Spirit 70 will be made, and it will use the new 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet with rear-wheel drive as its basis, importantly featuring the new GTS’s T-Hybrid powertrain, which makes it the first roadgoing Porsche 911 with a hybrid powertrain, with 532 horsepower and 449 lb/ft of torque. The car is launched with a new exclusive color, Olive Neo, and features retro-inspired features like Sport Classic wheels, Bronzite accents, and stripe graphics that incorporate elongated “911” lettering. Inside, the design is also full of vintage-inspired charm. While the Heritage Design Edition used corduroy, and the Sport Classic used the iconic Pepita houndstooth fabric, the new Spirit 70 makes use of Pasha, with a warped checkered pattern made of textile and flock yarn for comfort and a sporty feel. Like many ultra-exclusive limited-edition Porsche models, the new 911 Spirit 70 will be offered with an exclusive watch from Porsche Design. The car is set to arrive at United States Porsche dealerships in late summer with an MSRP matching its exclusivity at $240,000, which excludes $2,250 for delivery, processing, and handling. With only 1,500 examples being made, the new Porsche 911 Spirit 70 is a collector-worthy revival of the disco era. View All Porsche 911s For Sale Image Source: Porsche

RUF Introduces New LED Lighting For The '90s 993 Porsche 911

RUF brings modern lighting technology to a legendary classic. While the Porsche 911 is one of the world’s most legendary and iconic performance cars, if not one of the most iconic and recognizable cars ever made, enthusiasts have a special affinity for the generations of the 911 that came before the introduction of water-cooled engines to the lineup, which ended in the late 1990s. The final air-cooled generation of the Porsche 911 was the 993, which in over a quarter-century since its discontinuation, has become a legendary icon among Porsche enthusiasts and a coveted collector car. As with any classic, much of the technology and convenience features are out of date, which can sometimes prove an inconvenience for owners, or a part of the car’s charm and appeal. For owners of the Porsche 911 993 generation, however, RUF, a specialist in tuning, manufacturing, and creating vehicles with purist appeal, the gap is being bridged for one feature, combining vintage authenticity with modern convenience.
